Frequently asked questions
Akron is ten miles west on the same river. Why isn't a ravine the job here?
Akron sits on sandstone ravines that dump to the Cuyahoga. This city sits on a dammed reach through campus, on a Portage esker. July water here is a held pool and perched sand, not a ravine sheet. The river name is shared; the dam is not.
The dam is a waterfall for photos. Why would it wet a mill cellar?
The dam sets the pool. July rain on that pool has no drop through the Mill District, so the extra goes into silt. A 1972 cellar on that terrace is in the Cuyahoga whether the cascade looks pretty.
The apartment is on the esker, not the river. Is the Cuyahoga still involved?
As a flood, no. As a perch, sometimes. Esker sand over till holds July rain in pockets, and those pockets drain toward the river. A musty closet on the ridge is often the lens, not the dam. The camera tells you which.
