He recalls the challenges that busing brought to the school district. He then discusses what it was like to live in Cleveland Heights and his fond memories of Cain Park, among other places. He briefly discusses how the sectionalism that divided the city on East-West lines dissolved and downtown Cleveland became a central location.
