Parma’s Ukrainian Village highlighted as neighborhood that is growing stronger, respects its past

Leave a comment

Interesting new article highlighting the unique character of Parma’s Ukrainian Village, from the perspective of George Mount, a new Parma resident:

There’s an effort in Cleveland to recreate what it once was: a city of integrated neighborhoods valuing culture, family, and civic pride. But I often feel no sense of continuity with the past in these urban enclaves. Few of the hippest restaurants and coffee shops have been around for more than a few years. Emblematic of this difficulty to integrate the past are posh condominiums repurposed from closed schools and factories.

It’s great to breathe new life into these structures, but unfortunate that many longtime residents, likely alumni of West Tech or long-ago Eveready employees, can’t afford these luxury dwellings. This fracturing could make you wonder: can the neighborhoods of Cleveland grow stronger while respecting the past?

I believe the answer is “yes,” and the proof is right over the 480 bridge at State Road. It’s a place many urban pioneers reactively call the opposite of cool…

…Ukrainian Village, on the town’s northern border, is a classic inner-ring suburban neighborhood. Unlike many others, it is livable in its own right, proving that there is a way to combine old-world customs, livable neighborhoods, and affordable housing.

Good Olde Daze in Parma crowned NEO’s Best Wings’ People’s Choice champion

Leave a comment

Good Olde Daze is located in Parma’s Ukrainian Village at 6001 State Road.

After two weeks of wing eaters wiping away sauce from their fingers to vote, the people of Northeast Ohio have named the wings at Good Olde Daze, 6001 State Road, Parma, as their favorite.

A total of 14,941 votes were cast in the NEO’s Best Wings’ People’s Choice division, and Good Olde Daze gobbled up 26.4 percent of them. Even the city of Parma got behind their local business and posted this video to the city’s Facebook page during the competition.

Three popular choices of wings at Good Olde Daze in Parma were buffalo, BBQ and garlic sauce.

Owner Tommy Shaver previously said his best sellers are either the wings or burgers. It has weekly specials, such as 50-cent wings on Thursdays. Click here to check out the menu.
