Right now the Verdant Walk is there--a Cleveland Public Art project with green, round, solar paneled night lights interspersed between native grasses. The grasses are going to seed and little brown birds (finches?) frequent the area to feast on summer's bounty.
Mall B has always been a park and was part of the Cleveland's original City Plan. Someone told me that about ten years ago Mall B was a parking lot. However, Mall C was used as parking until just a few years ago. Below is a picture from the Cleveland Memory Project of a Victory Garden at Mall B in 1945.
I hope the Verdant Walk is followed by other installations and creative uses for this space. I thought maybe free lunchtime Croquet games would be nice. Any ideas for use of this public space?
