Lyndhurst OH

III CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 7 CK WARD HURST Making lemonade out of Cleveland suburb community P atrick Ward is a man who simply loves his hometown. Of course, in Ward’s case, he may be just a bit biased. You see, Ward, 69, also just so happens to be the mayor of his hometown: Lyndhurst, Ohio, a small city in Cuyahoga County and an eastern suburb of Cleveland. Its population exceeds some 14,000 folks, and a small part of Lyndhurst was originally part of the nearby township of Mayfield. The former municipality is also the hometown of famous rock star Eric Carmen. Ward tells us that he is very proud to be a Buckeye. “We are the heart of it all!” he happily declared of his American Heartland state when we recently caught up with him.
