This doesn't describe the Shaker Heights I know, a reasonably prosperous and stable long-established community. It must be a cherry-picked street or two up against the border of Cleveland proper.

Google maps shows that the address 9422 Chagrin Street, Shaker Heights, Ohio directly neighbors two golf courses and the Shaker Heights Country Club.

Back when I was in grade school, Shaker Heights was held out as a model city of encouraged integration and relative prosperity. What happened?

The other day here on FR there was a story about a home invasion in Shaker Heights. Surprised me.

Exactly. That's why I give the article zero credibility.

That’s pretty much what I thought Shaker Heights was like, too.

Weird, Shaker Heights is at very upper middle class suburb in that state.

I work in Beachwood, Ohio. I often travel through Shaker Heights. I agree that they probably cherry picked a street that bumps up against Cleveland proper.

Cleaveland, I can believe, is becoming a ghost town.

That is what I was thinking. This is not the Shaker Heights I know!

Shaker Heights is/was very stable and a desired place to live with long standing grand old homes.

Something about this article doesn’t seem right. Might be worth a ‘fact checking’ trip.
