My dad live in Cleveland in the late 40's - early 50's in a house on Hough Ave.?

Sorry to say that your father's old neighborhood has turned into a ghetto long time ago. Most of Cleveland has become very run down except for a handful of neighborhoods on the southwest side of the metro area.

Hough Avenue is a run down part of town, since the riots in the late 60's early 70's, and most have moved out. I dont know what it was like in the 40's and 50's but I'm not sure you'll find a similar neighborhood.

Well, parts of Hough are being revised. But for the most part Hough is a rundown street that a lot of people try to avoid. From what I understand, Hough was never the same after the riots.
