I just received applications and information for a  NEW City program for Seniors (60+).

There are thousands of gatherings across the country, and the event this Thursday in Cleveland could be one of the best. I hope you can be there as we hear from local leaders and present the thousands of declarations of support for reform that we've been collecting in Ohio for months.

Rich people HATE to pay taxes. They pinch pennies. The squeeze real hard.

As you can clearly see, there are signs posted that no trucks are permitted to go down Weat 14th Street.  They don't care how fast they go as long as the keep going South or West 480.

The mission of the Festival is to celebrate the cultural and artistic diversity of Tremont and Greater Cleveland by encouraging the artistic and cultural endeavors of its visual and performing artists.

Muriel S. Butkin was an important benefactor and philanthropist to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Together with her husband, the late Noah Butkin, they donated many works to the art museum over the years including an extensive collection of French old master paintings and drawings. In addition, Mrs.

THE COLD WITHIN

Six humans trapped in happenstance, In dark and bitter cold, Each one possessed a stick of wood, or so the story's told.
