Hessler Street is the first street west of Euclid Ave. on Ford. It is one way. About halfway down Hessler Street, turn right on Hessler Court, which is also one way. There are parked cars on the left, but the street is wide enough for a passenger vehicle to drive through easily. The surface is very smooth. It's not like driving on cobblestone, and honestly, if I wouldn't have stopped for pictures, I wouldn't have thought it was any different from any other street.

In the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland there is a street made completely of wooden blocks. It has been around since the early 1900s and has been made of wood ever since. The street is only 60 yards long.
