Abstract

<a href="http://bluestoneheights.org/"> Bluestone Heights </a> and <a href="http://www.littleitalycleveland.com/"> HEART of Little Italy </a> host, Little Italy, Set in Stone , a walking tour of the historic district. The walk, about a mile in length, covers Murray Hill and intersecting side streets. We explore a Little Italy that most tourists don't see. The tour departs, rain or shine, from HEART of Little Italy, 2092 Murray Hill Road, Cleveland. The walking tour expands on the <a href="http://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/octavofest/2013/all/12/"> unveiling of the Portage Periplus Journal </a> (October 23, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm). For the unveiling, the journal's six narrative paper panels illuminate the periplus from Doan to Gully Brooks. For the viewer, the voyages of 1852 and 1912 play out simultaneously along the panels. In shifting between upper and lower registers, one takes in 60 years of landscape change. Surrounding graphics and text help identify the wilderness of early settler times and the fast pace of early twentieth century cultural development. With the Portage Periplus Journal , Bluestone Heights and the Morgan Conservatory engage Clevelanders with the Portage Escarpment. Gateway to “the Heights,” the escarpment is a major natural feature and carries more than 200 years of Cleveland cultural history. Bluestone Heights explores escarpment nature and culture with online mapping and onsite walking tours. We use the literary device of periplus, a narration of voyage along a shoreline. The <a href="http://bluestoneheights.org/bsh/portage-periplus/" target="_blank"> Portage Periplus </a> navigates the escarpment front to tell its deep history. For Octavofest 2013, the <a href="http://morganconservatory.org/" target="_blank"> Morgan Conservatory </a> adds paper art to the project. On handmade Morgan papers, the Portage Periplus Journal relates conceptual voyages of cartographers Blackmore (1852) and Hopkins (1912) along Euclid Ave, from Doans Corners to Wickliffe.
