visit larchmere.com for more information The Larchmere district, a federally designated historic district, begins at East 120th Street and extends east to North Moreland Boulevard. About six miles from downtown Cleveland, you will find 10 blocks of shops, galleries, antique stores, service enterprises, restaurants and public art such as colorful bike racks reminiscent of classic wooden chair styles (think Queen Anne, Shaker and Bentwood) and playful murals on the sides of otherwise ordinary brick buildings. This urban oasis is found along the boulevard known as Larchmere, home to 30 eclectic businesses and popular community events, making it one of the area’s most entertaining destinations. Check out Loganberry Books, an independently owned and operated bookstore with a huge selection including a little bit of everything. Visitors will find leather bound and decorative bindings, mostly from 1880-1920, though some are even older. High ceilings, natural light and warm rugs provide an air of comfort and coziness throughout this home to about 100,000 volumes. Extensive sections devoted to children’s literature and modern literature, art, design, the performing arts, the sciences, history and a wonderful array of knickknacks. While many patrons simply love to stroll the stacks at Loganberry, the shop offers much more than a typical bookstore. There are book signings and other author events; discussion groups and book clubs; and open mics and music events. And don’t miss the Loganberry Books Annex Gallery, which features a monthly rotation of local artists and their work, including painting, photography, ceramics, collage and beyond. 24 City Visitor
