Welcome! My name is Phil Kidd.
I moved to Cleveland in 2019 just before the onset of the pandemic and wanted a big goal to keep me motivated while running solo during the lockdown.
So, I decided to try to run every street in Cleveland.
My goal with this blog is not to simply just log miles but take readers with me, exploring the images, history and stories of the streets of Cleveland.
If you follow this blog, we'll be exploring the city together.
