Cleveland Plus Image Library

Downtown is changing. From the new Cleveland Medical Mart and Convention Center to the renovated theater district of PlayhouseSquare, Cleveland is reinventing its urban city center. The perfect example is the venerated old Higbee Building -- once a legendary department store famous for its appearance in A Christmas Story. Today, it’s being re-imagined as the first casino in Ohio, creating another dot that connects entertainment with downtown’s increasingly vibrant core.
