Watch: Does Cleveland Need A Gayborhood?

[Courtesy of Brian DeWitt]

In the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood on Cleveland's West Side, construction continues on a new home for the LGBTQ Community Center of Greater Cleveland. Its completion will inaugurate an era of permanency for the center, which over the past 44 years, has moved all over Cleveland.

Will this hub finally give Cleveland the 'gayborhood' it lacks? And does the city need one?

90.3 WCPN "Morning Edition" host Amy Eddings dug into this issue for the latest episode of ideastream's podcast, The Downtowner. So we asked Amy, her Downtowner cohost, George Hahn, and Ken Schneck, an associate professor at Baldwin Wallace University and author of the book "LGBTQ Cleveland," to consider, where are the gays?
