  1. The showcase has begun
  2. I am a tree in East Cleveland OH
  3. http://twitpic.com/48uoj - I was planted in 1911, one among many in a thriving suburb of Cleveland OH
  4. http://twitpic.com/48uke - In my early years, Cleveland’s elite were located downtown on Euclid Ave
  5. I watched while most of them abandoned their city locations for eastern suburbs by 1930
  6. http://twitpic.com/48uf0 - I was proud to be in the suburb with the largest migratory concentration until 1915
  7. http://twitpic.com/48uck - By 1915 East Cleveland had become the region’s most densely-populated city
  8. http://twitpic.com/48u7i - One-third of my city's residents lived in apartments; many of the rest were in multifamily homes
  9. Too soon East Cleveland took on the appearance of a city, much like what they had left
  10. My pride was short-lived
  11. http://twitpic.com/48tyv - Population density, multifamily homes, & a desire for country landscapes drove the elite beyond my borders to ...
  12. By 1930 I saw most of my elite move on; I now stood amongst the smallest contingency of suburban upper-class households
  13. Cleveland Heights & Shaker Heights flourished the most with the new suburban migration
  14. By 1930 these communities’ elite population was dominant among suburbs & numbers were steadily climbing
  15. Appeal was less density, single-family homes, and newer homes on larger lots in “country” settings
  16. http://twitpic.com/48tnk - Rapidly-shifting neighborhoods made it difficult to create a sense of community
  17. Cleveland Heights & Shaker Heights found a majority of its homeowners putting down roots & settling in
  18. As the elite moved on from East Cleveland, lower home prices enabled a different class to come in
  19. Multifamily living encouraged a more transient lifestyle; I saw many different faces come and go
  20. http://twitpic.com/48tfa - My fellow trees & I continued to grow stronger, but the city never quite found its roots so it could do the same
