June's neighborhood is one of the newest named neighborhoods in Cleveland, but has some of the oldest roots. (Doesn't that pretty much characterize our whole city--new energy revitalizing many layers of tradition and history?)

This neighborhood is a daily drive-by for many; it requires getting off the highways and main roads to find the treasures hidden within it.   Neighborhood life spills out into the street as the weather warms with a Sunday Market, Wednesday concerts and weekend events.   Small businesses dedicated to doing one thing perfectly complement each other along its commercial district.

This month's palette is inspired by the fresh colors of the local florist and the juice bar; the great views from the upper stories of building in the area and the sunshine that I associate with a fun and energizing day in June's Colors of Cleveland neighborhood.
