We didn’t get here by accident. How our city looks and operates is a result of the decisions made by our predecessors. If we want to move forward, it’s critical that we understand the history of Norwood Ohio. To understand how the city has evolved over the past 200+ years, we’re joined on this episode by Susan Daniels from the Norwood Historical Society.

- what Susan considers to be the heyday of Norwood
