What the west side of Cleveland will look like once the highway is removed.
Welcome to the new and improved Changing Gears podcast. Each week, we’ll be offering you headlines from around the region, a story of the week, an essay on ways to improve our region, and some information about events going on in our states.
Up this week: Dan Bobkoff takes a look at the notion of highways. Do they no longer represent the idea of progress? And Grand Rapids entrepreneur Rick DeVos shares his thoughts on what the Midwest needs most.
In this week’s headlines: American Airlines teams up with United to sue Chicago over the proposed O’Hare airport expansion, we take a look at the newly elected Republican governors of Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan, and a preview of some of our Changing Gears events.
Enjoy!
