A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Jim Sweeney was born in Cleveland's Huron Road Hospital, has lived on both sides of town, and was a reporter for the News-Herald and The Plain Dealer ... yet he was amazed by the number of really good questions about Greater Cleveland to which he had no really good answers before researching and writing this book.
