Love to see this Cleveland Magazine article featuring some of the GOOD PEOPLE and great organizations we've helped:

✨ LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland
✨ Near West Theatre
✨ Northwest Neighborhoods CDC

At Gordon Square, history runs deep, but a new chapter is being written, and the new cluster of businesses adds to it.

Since 2000, the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland has been in Gordon Square in one location or another. Near West Theatre has hosted a Drag Queen story hour since 2019. The Druzy Dreamer is an LGBTQ-owned business that has been in Gordon Square since 2022. Other Gordon Square businesses are Plexus LGBT & Allies Chamber of Commerce members, which Plexus executive director Amanda Cole hopes more will become.

Recently, the neighborhood welcomed a new row of LGBTQ+ focused organizations, including Nueva Luz Urban Resource Center, Cleveland S*x Therapy, Plexus and The Buckeye Flame.

How was it all possible? Cole and Ken Schneck, editor of The Buckeye Flame, credit the team at Northwest Neighborhoods CDC for the community and values they have fostered in the neighborhood.

“The fact that Northwest Neighborhoods places an effort on making sure that not only is there affordable housing, but that they have diverse businesses, they're supporting diverse business owners, and they want to make sure with rainbow flags and rainbow decals and attracting queer-owned businesses that Gordon Square is a vibrant place to live and work,” Cole told Cleveland Magazine.
