I live in the Cleveland suburb of Olmsted Falls, but just down the street from me is the border of the neighboring town of Berea. I consider myself a resident of Berea as much as Olmsted Falls. My parents and grandparents lived in Berea, I do most of my shopping in Berea, and I graduated from Berea High School and from Baldwin Wallace College which is in Berea.
Being a college town and a place with a long history, Berea has a much different atmosphere than the typical "cookie cutter" suburb. Unfortunately, back in the 1970s when "urban renewal" was the big thing, much of its old downtown was torn down for newer buildings. But instead of a "town square", Berea still has the distinctive "Triangle" that it has had since the 1800s.
During the Christmas season, the "Triangle" is always nicely decorated with lights. Last night I drove over there to take a few pictures.
