“Ya know,,,, it’s been spreading! There are actually areas in Shaker Heights that you don’t want to be in at night! Shaker Heights! I went to school there. Even my school moved out to Gates Mills!”
As I recall, Shaker Heights used to be where all the wealthy in the Cleveland Area lived
My Mom (RIP) went to Shaker Hts High with Paul Newman and my cousin went there with Roger Penske.

You are correct. It was Cleveburg’s wealthiest suburb, by far. My pre Schools was there. The mansions on Shaker Heights Blvd are still there, but the side streets become a nightmare after dark. East Cleveland seeped into Cleveland Heights, and from there, into Shaker. Very sad to see the decline. Urban sprawl indeed.
