Cuyahoga River |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Cuyahoga RiverRiver, northeastern Ohio, U.S. It flows past Akron, where it drops into a deep valley and turns north, emptying into Lake Erie at Cleveland. It is navigable for lake freighters for only about 5 mi (8 km) of its total length of about 80 mi (130 km). It was at one time so severely polluted that it caught fire; by the late 1970s, antipollution measures had substantially improved its condition. The Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area covers about 32,000 acres (12,950 hectares) of river valley between Akron and Cleveland. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Forty-five years after Ohio's Cuyahoga River "caught fire," making the Lake Erie tributary a poster child for environmental cleanup, a raft of agencies is lining up to fix problems in the Great Lakes that persist to this day. Their suits spewed so much garbage last Sunday, I'm surprised the Cuyahoga River didn't catch fire again. Even when White defeated his former mentor, critics doubted he'd be able to reunite Cleveland, which has traditionally been split by race: whites west of the Cuyahoga River and blacks east of it. |
