Slovic Village Field Trip
Recently Slovc Village in Cleveland was in the news for, abandoned homes, squatters, arson and gang bangers. Sounds like a perfect place for a late night field trip. On this night, it would be Steve Davis, Michael Gill, and myself. All photos property of the Lakewood Observer ©2008
