There have been many memorable photographs taken in Cleveland, but this one by Plain Dealer photographer Christine "Chris" Stephens captures the city's beauty, daring, and optimism as it entered the 1990s. For journalists, the image brings mixed emotions. It shows an iron worker atop the 20-story North Point Office Tower at E. 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue, the former site of the Cleveland Press. The Press building was demolished after the newspaper closed in 1982 and it was replaced with an office building and tower. Cleveland Public Library Photograph Collection.
