Sweaty Stories from the Cleveland Schvitz

Author Joshua Womack tells the story of those who lived, breathed and sweated in one of Cleveland's most iconic landmarks. In Cleveland, there's a place where sweat, steak and friendship collide. Tucked away on a dead-end road in the once-bustling area of Kinsman, the Schvitz is where men have come for decades to let it all hang out. Wrapped in towels and mystery, this nondescript, utilitarian building has captured the hearts and pores of many. There's a lot of questions around the Schvitz. Is it just a Jewish thing? Why is it where it is? Why do men (and now, more recently, women) love this place?
