Epistemology.  How do you know what you know?  In the past, the print media controlled much of what we knew and our thought process on issues.  Has that changed with the Internet and citizen reporting?  

 A handful of folks who actually live in and around Clark Ave. (I counted MAYBE 10) showed up last night at the old Gruss Hall across from St. Michael's to attend a Transportation for Livable Communities meeting.  Four council reps are part of this "planning" exercise - including from west to east : Matt Zone, Joe Cimperman, Brian Cummins and Anthony Brancatelli.  Zone and Cimperman were no shows.

 I know from my experience as a first-generation child of immigrant parents (My mother was born in Hungary- my father's father came here from Ireland) that my parents felt the stigma to move out of the city as soon as they could afford it.  

Hungarian relatives moved to Brecksville.  Irish family members moved to Strongsville.  We moved to Rocky River. 

Cleveland recently added a bike sharing program - almost entirely for Ohio City residents.  It's called Zagster.com  (Zagster.com/Cleveland)

Joan Southgate is an amazing woman and Cleveland is lucky to have her.  Thanks to the efforts of Restore Hope - Cozad House in University Circle has been saved as a reminder of our pre-Civil War history.  A touchstone for generations, preserved to help us see life as it was in 1800s Cleveland.

Former Economic Director for City of Cleveland Chris Warren deserves the accolades for our lovely reimagined parking lot in historic Brooklyn Centre.

I walked by the historic bank building at corner of Pearl and Broadview today - looking in the window - it appears that the building is being systematically stripped of the marble wall trim.  The interior is very reminescent of the United Bank Building - which was renovated to house Crop restaurant.   The building is listed with CBRE commercial real estate.  http://www.cbre.com/EN/findproperty/Pages/default.aspx

 Today, I received a happy surprise, as a neighbor gave me flowers.  Sometimes, it doesn't suck to live in the City of Cleveland.  

Reflections on Father's Day in CLE - after HEAVEN of pool in Frostburg - went to Lincoln Park yesterday - did NOT go in the cloudy, cold water. 

With the Metroparks takeover of our lakefront parks - more and more of us are awakening to the fact that we have been deprived access to this resource for years.  

Here's the gateway to the ZOO ! You know, the number one tourist destination in Northeast Ohio!!! We made sure to keep everything "green" - the way our councilman prefers it! And, tell your friends: we bend over ass backward to accommodate for developers like Peter Rubin-Coral Group, the Ratners at Forest City, and Mitch Schneider. ENJOY the scenery :)

 Alonzo Mitchell III is an amazing young-ish man.  He looks younger than his 33 years and he is the catalyst for a ground swell of positive energy in CLE.  Without foundations, without powerful connections - Alonzo Mitchell III returned to Cleveland with enthusiasm and pride in his hometown.  He translated this energy into the marketing juggernaut Ohio Homecoming.

Theoretically - City of Cleveland has ordinance on books that would put electric wires underground - but that is too much work and when old poles rot, well then, CPP will replace, but has issues w/other stuff attached to their poles and this is the result -  GOOD ENOUGH!!

MOCA Cleveland recently hosted a Kevin Beasley performance at the Cozad House in University Circle.  

Originally - only ten people were to be part of a "cost-effective" staff - now look how many folks feed off this massive criminal enterprise.

 Does Gus Frangos and staff collect PERS, too ?

 The latest BS from Thriving Communities aka front for investors like Forest City - on the need for Cuyahoga County to issue bonds for more demolitions - would be that UNLESS the "Land Bank" folks don't demo EVERY frickin' vacant property in CLE - your property in ROCKY RIVER (where Rokakis lives) is/will continue to shoulder DISPROPORTIONATE burden of tax levys imposed in Cuyahoga County.  

Lively and informative community forum for District 9 County Council - special thanks to all of the candidates and to Kimberly Brown and Eric J. Brewer for making this happen.
