CLEVELAND, Ohio – City Council on Monday approved a land swap with Cleveland public schools that will clear the way for a long-idled grade school to be converted into housing for the elderly.

Debra Drobnick is no exception. Born and raised in Euclid, Drobnick has fond recollections of growing up just one street away from E. 185th St., so it’s rather poetic that she’s now part of the street’s renaissance as one of the forces behind uber-popular Irie Jamaican Kitchen.
