WVIZ/PBS ideastream®: Ideas

Ideas is a series of special one-hour programs produced and presented by WVIZ/PBS ideastream®. Topics for each episode are guided by ideastream’s “Listening Project,” a series of surveys, town hall meetings and other community-focused activities. Subjects such as education, the economy and jobs, the environment, economic development, civic affairs, and health and human services are prominently featured. Each Ideas episode also serves as the keystone for a compilation of related programming on 90.3 WCPN, WVIZ/PBS and content on ideastream websites. The goal of this program series is to focus audience attention on an issue or topic of broad community interest. These stories, segments, and entire programs are distinguished by their depth and quality of journalism and the creative storytelling ideastream audiences have come to expect and appreciate.

Steelyard Commons Update
If you don't regularly travel on the northbound side of the Jennings Freeway, brace yourself for a new view. The largest open-air shopping center in Cuyahoga County - and the first new major shopping space in the city in more than 20 years - is just weeks away from opening on the former ISG Steel site. While it's announcement was decried by some businesses, and protested by potential neighbors and historians, its addition to the near west side of Cleveland is all but here. What's gone on there these past few months? Rick Jackson will take us to the site and talk with the developers about their project, and their dreams for what it might become.

Also on Ideas this week:
Rick will look into what Northeast Ohioans are buying for the holidays - are we being naughty or nice to the region's retailers? Crain's Cleveland Business Reporter John Booth will join Rick for the discussion. Also, we'll visit the Christmas Story house and museum in Tremont.
