As growing numbers of young professionals move out of the suburbs and back into the industrial landscapes of Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Detroit, it was only a matter of time before someone coined a term for this urban resurgence. Unwilling to let this new phenomena be defined by hipsters flitting about between New York and LA, the editors of this anthology put out a call for local voices to set down the truth of what it means to be rust belt chic. The resulting collection of love letters to our region exposes the beauty and humor beneath the dust and bones that a new generation is working to excavate and bring back to life. With stories by the likes of Michael Ruhlman, Connie Schultz, Laura Maylene Walter and many more of our favorite people, Rust Belt Chic will make you glad to call Cleveland your home. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event.
