CITY LIFE: MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS |
Jeanette Toms
Cudell
Jeanette was born in Lake County and moved to Cleveland in 2004. She quickly became involved in organized trash pickups, block clubs, Citizens Police Academy, MyCom, and more. While at Cudell Improvement, she worked on the West 98th Model Block and the Cudell Orchard. After that, Jeanette dedicated herself to the farm business. That farm business began as a “Summer Sprout” community garden (HUD program) on two Cleveland Land Bank lots in 2009. It had about 30 people involved, six of which were refugee families. She and her husband Norm purchased additional lots to grow the site. This opportunity allowed them to convert the community garden and their newly purchased lots into their for-profit business,Good Earth, in 2014. Since then, this Urban Farm stand has been providing the community with high quality produce at affordable prices thanks to Jeanette’s hard work!
“I love farming, having my farm stand, and living in Cleveland. I think Clevelanders are the most friendly people! I have met many very interesting people and learned so much about different cultures just by selling vegetables and talking with folks. My customers are awesome! Its amazing!”
Lori Walter
Warehouse District
A native of Canton, Lori and her husband Gerry moved to the Historic Warehouse District in 2013. The couple loves photography and their Instagram accounts (@MsInferno, @GWalter). They take to all the nooks and crannies of Cleveland to show the beauty within. In 2015, Lori joined the “My Neighborhood (MN)” residential engagement group of the Warehouse District. As a team member liaison, she is committed to answering questions concerning the District from residents and stakeholders. They host a Thirsty Third Thursday every month, which gives everyone the chance to speak about the neighborhood they live in. In 2017, Lori joined the Historic Warehouse District Development Corporation (HWDDC) as a voice for the residents and in 2018, Lori was named “Downtown Resident of the Year” by the Downtown Cleveland Resident’s Association. Most recently, she has been working to obtain audible intersection signals for a vision-impaired couple that lives in her building.
“We chose to live in the Warehouse District because of the revitalization of Cleveland. Industrial loft living, the Cleveland Metroparks, an array of live music venues, sporting events, outstanding culinary restaurants, and renowned theatres are all part of what makes living in the Warehouse District an epic day-to-day adventure.”
