valleyview projects AKA west seventh projects in tremont of cleveland and gentrifcation gen·tri·fi·ca·tion (jÄ•n’trÉ™-fÄ­-kā’shÉ™n)
n.
The restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of lower-income people.

regardless if your for it or against it, the book is pretty much closed on the valleyview estates AKA the west seventh projects in tremont. the panorama above shows a 180 degree angle looking east in the center. everything has been torn up and homes and or condos are going up right as the housing market in cleveland has fallen the lowest in the last several years.

i’m not really the sentimental type but i’ll miss those homes.

for some photos from those projects back in their hay-day, go here.
