Cleveland's Youth Hostel (or the Lack thereof)

Click on the title of this post to visit the Hotel Bruce blog. There's a bunch of other posts there that are equally interesting, but I is one is my personal pick:

"What does Cleveland lack that its big city rivals all have? You guessed it, an international youth hostel. What could be better for bringing globe trekkers to our shores and boosting the tourist economy? Currently, the area�s only hostel is the peaceful, but remote Stafford Hostel in the Cuyahoga Valley. A group of locals working to bring International Youth Hostels to Cleveland received some good news this week�Downtown Cleveland Partnership, the development corporation for our downtown area, received funding to study potential sites for a city-based hostel. The group has already put together its wish list, which includes converting The William G. Mather steamship or the B&O Railroad Terminal (the yellow brick building on Canal Road near the Carter Road lift bridge owned by Sherwin Williams). Other wishful thinking possibilities have been the Jay Hotel or a vacant building on the site of Trinity Cathedral. The search can now begin in earnest, with the winner most likely the one that best addresses ease of access, spin off to commercial demand in the area, and cost of conversion."
