Loads at CLE in the 70's were in the 50-60% range, no where near where they were in CLE during the CO days. The population and corporate HQ numbers were far greater as well. After years of Voinovich, Stokes, White, Oakar, Tubbs and lets not forget Russo and Dimora we are left with a shell of a downtown and fewer businesses and people to fill the planes and the city. Oh yes and the infamous Kucinich, all played their hand in the destruction of the city. Yet re-elected time and time again as the city decayed. For anyone that mentions the reborn flats, half a block on East 4th, or West 6th it will fall again as it did the last time.
