I am much amazed by the transitional phase of Tremont development over the last few years. For the last several decades...Tremont West Development Corporation was much obliged to suck behinds with the City Leadership to have millions of dollars in HUD FUNDING ALLOCATIONS STEERED into this very "needy" community. As a result; the low income citizens used as quotas to ascertain countless funds; were STEERED OUT of this community as it outgrew its britches!

At some point in our future, there will be a realization that it is important to hear more than one voice or see more than one reality.  I think that the world will appreciate the art made in places besides New York.  I think Northeast Ohio has some amazing art and amazing artists.  See it, hear it, feel it.
