Architectural Salvage
Although this has been a trend for years it is now called upcycling.
If you want a piece of Cleveland, and I do mean that in the real sense of the word go to apieceofcleveland.com . They provide lumber taken from old sites to the public; why cut down trees if you don't have to?

Fashion Week
I used to think Ohio was flyover country like many people from the coasts. I think Northeast Ohio has much to offer people interested in designing clothes for a living. There have been many successful fashion startups. NEO has first rate resources and capital. Kent State has a well known fashion program. JStyle Magazine is also a terrific resource.
Fashion week is fun so check out the link.
