In many NEO communitities, scrabbling for municipal operating cash has led to the licensing of big game hunting. 

The biggest game in East Cleveland and Cleveland, Ohio is the BUCK. Image on downhill stretch of N.Taylor before reaching  Euclid.

Who is reviewing this business?  Do I see Frank Russo's decal on the speed cam?

My dad always said that the war could have been ended with the United States inviting a delegation of Japanese to one of the tests of the atomic bomb.  

Or, the United States could have dropped a bomb on an island off the Japanese coast - and announced the next bomb would be on a Japanese industrial zone. 

Instead, the US dropped 2 bombs in 3 days on densely inhabited civilian areas. 

To supplement recent reports here on Realneo, images of the Hodge School and Park Buildings would be nice.

If we are to build Realneo into a more dynamic civic journal voice, photo stringers would be nice. 

Pay? just your civic sense of being. Until we get the vehicle's speed up.  Even then, the model's not clear.

We will see.

But it is satisfying to be involved and contributing. 

There was a time - about a hundred years ago before the electric arc and bulb - when gas lamps where left burning constantly because their mantles were damaged by burning, cooling, and re-lighting.

Today, there is no excuse to have a gas lamp burning in the day time - or at night for that matter.

Talk about global warming!  

Woodland Avenue between E55 and E35th (CSU campus) has recently undergone full depth reconstruction.  Can you list the sustainable "green" engineering which has been incorporated in the new street and sidewalk and drainage design?

I'm sitting in a bar one day (coffee bar) in Ohio City, Cleveland, Ohio and in walks this man in a long, black, funky  coat with an out-there pattern on the fabric.  Clearly he's headed to our table.  Not sure about what's coming....

Without hesitation (because it turned out he knew one of the people I was with) he withdrew from his inside coat pocket a set of large "cards" and had us immediately engaged - trying to guess the magician's secrets.

 The GT Craig Air Quality Monitoring facility is located on a triangular island at the interesections of Orange, Broadway, and E14 in Cleveland, Ohio.

 These two trucks carry brick faced precast building facades down the US Interstate, while in Cuyahoga County the FBI patiently waits for the recently indicted to provide support for further Cuyahoga indictments, and while Cuyahoga County Commissioner Tim Haggan blithely continues to violate the basic ethical tenant that politicians recuse themselves from involvement in any official business which involves their personal friends (in the MEDCON case it is Mr. Haggan’s friend Chris Kennedy) .

This well dressed (I wear bow ties too) fellow has me mystified.  

Set up at an intersection where it was too busy for me to stop and talk with him, he held a newspaper cover of Michael Jackson, a pie, a slice of cake, and the glass vials you see in his left hand.   He had a cooler - on the curb out of the image - set up as a sort of desk. 

 Several Realneo members, including myself,  had the opportunity to meet Mr. Thompson about a year ago at the Inner Circle  - Star Complex.   Norm Roulet was instrumental in helping East Cleveland develop it's  IT presence and Mr. Thompson was involved with East Cleveland at that time.  

In Ohio the State Law which governerns PUBLIC RECORD REQUESTS is Section 149.43 of the Ohio Revised Codes.

On May 20, 2009 I emailed the following request to the City of Cleveland.

Autos have, and are, destroying Cleveland. This pedestrian bridge used to join neighborhoods over active rail road tracks.  The bridge is still passable, but the tracks lack activity, so why hike up the stairs?

And the neighborhood now? 

A trip...

Everything you see has economic connections. 

Look at your husband, he has economic connections, right?  Just kidding.

But when I watched the St Mary's II cement barge, at 21 feet of draft, come into Cleveland last week to blow off at the Essroc facility (north portion of the dock also leased by Kenmore Construction), I thought, $ WOW.

This is the Air Quality monitoring station on Broadway, just South of the Ball Field.

All the air intake instruments which were on the roof of the building have been recently removed.  I suspect the station is non-operational.

Wouldn't it be funny if, during the entire period when Mittal has been idled, this station had no data?

Funny?

Or the plan...
