Cleveland has drastically changed over the 15 years. From brand new giant mix-used developments, to new restaurants, to renovated old buildings into apartment complexes and much more, the city has undergone a major transformation. We went through Google Maps and took a look at how different parts of the city looked 15 years ago to now. University Circle/Uptown, Playhouse Square, Cleveland State, Downtown, Tremont and Glenville are just some of the areas to undergo facelifts.
