EC is the poorest city in Ohio. It's been obliterated by white flight, an openly corrupt mayor, LA-style police gangs, and now gentrification from University Circle, the Cleveland neighborhood it borders, where the major hospitals and universities in the city are based. But there are genuine efforts - like what's highlighted in the article here - to build independence from those forces.
