My series on Cleveland drawing near to a close, I turn my attention to the two prominent bodies of water that are inseparablye linked to the city. these piers are up near Edgewater Park, I believe, across from some gaudy mansions that some have dubbed Cleveland's "Atrocity Exhibition" essential Cleveland. its four tallest buildings.
