Growing up in Clifton, Ohio
About Adam Silverstein
Adam Silverstein grew up in a small town called Clifton, Ohio. His experiences in Clifton shaped him today. I just happened to be his kid and wanted to know more about him and his life in Clifton, Cincinnati.
How has growing up in a place like Clifton affected you now?
“Well Clifton is an urban neighborhood of Cincinnati so we're very close to downtown [and] very close to the university so it was a pretty diverse place so I thought it was a great place to grow up.
What was the normal schedule on a summer day?
Hang out or to a lot of basketball back then, but there was a community, uh, swim club and that was pretty much a summer day. We all would go early in the morning to swim team practice and then have practice and then pretty much hang out around the pool.
Was there a change in neighborhood type?
Go to my house? I don't live there anymore. I didn't go see my old house.
“I thought it was a good place to grow up because it gave me more diversity .”
