So when I walked by Joe, at the door taking a breather, asked..."you from Boston?"

Well, I had visited Boston (and I had spaced that the Indians were up against them just then) - so I thought the guy was able to see into the future.

Stable on my feet, I walked into the All State Barber College, and l felt that HERE was the healthy, real economic future. 

Regarding the "Red Socks Out to Dry" banner:   I realize there are many in the Realneo audience who despise the toothy grinning Indian logo (and see it as a racist caricature).  The DDealer came out with an editorial along this line recently - but I couldn't find a link.

Ann Arbor, Michigan has instituted a smart tiered method of taxing residential and commercial properties for storm water costs – the more impervious surface you have on your property, the more storm water abatement tax you pay. Check it out Here

Thanks to Crain’s for bringing this into the light. 

Bill Callahan, a private concerned citizen (where’s the County in this expose?), has taken a keen, focused interest in minding the "sub-prime" statistics.  

Roy Richardson (left lower photo signing “Young Eagles” certificates), one of the original   Tuskegee Airmen, hosted a group of 35 parents and kids at Burke Lakefront Airport on Saturday, October 13, 2007. 

City of Cleveland Mayor Jackson and Cleveland Metropolitan School District Superintendent Eugene Sanders held a “news conference” in the Mayor’s Chambers this afternoon.  The security magnetometer at the Mayor’s City Hall second floor office suite doorway sensed metal (my camera?) and buzzed when I went in, but it buzzed for everyone.  No one was minding it.  Anyway, I’m sure there was not any concealed carry in the City Hall because the yellow sign on the front door of the City Hall said “guns not allowed”.

 

When you visit downtown Chicago or Toronto you can feel those places are more civically healthy than downtown  Cleveland. 

This is what's wrong with Neo,- (NOTE: 1.1.13 CSU has changed the link - now it goes to a Jackson pc, not eggs with the Fixer - sorry) we keep wearing the   painful shoe which has nails which bloody our soles. >Fred foisted the dog Brown stadium on the ratepayers and through Squire Sanders billed the City over half a million to put the City in bond debt for a annually empty facility which will continue to pull Cleveland down financially for decades.

I picked this up (George's wonderful caring skill is aggregation, scroll the comments) from George at BFD - Wendell touches on the REAL power of the internet - SINCERE DISCUSSION .  You can read Wendell's good bye..

 

On September 13, 2007 I attended  the GREAT LAKES ENERGY DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE  (they re-named the wind-on-the-lake task force) in the Thompson Hine LLP law firm’s office on the 39th floor of the Key Building in downtown Cleveland.

As a resident of NEO and of the USA you need to read Mr. Rokakis.  I picked this up via Brewed Fresh Daily who got it from Roldo

Where do we go from here? 

Carpe diem is one way to say it, but when I saw the glass pedestal cake plate on the sunny bank of the Lower Shaker Lake I had a feeling  “seize the day” was being exercised in the superlative.

After the presentation by authors  John Mearsheimer (left) and Stephen Walt (right)  of the The Israel Lobby at Case’s Ford Auditorium last night,  I approached  Alice Bach, the tenured Case prof  (on the stage between the authors) and complimented her on her perspicacity shown in arranging  Mr. Mearsheimer's and Mr. Walt's visit to Cleveland.

Let’s say it’s 2:30 in the morning in August in Downtown Cleveland, you are a homeless guy in your fifties named  Mr. Baskin, and you are in the grassy walkway area (pictured in daytime above) behind the County Administration Building.   And you’ve got to go.

I think this is illegal and outrageous and corrupt that our Cuyahoga County web site is actually hosting and promoting a private for profit financial venture - go to the county web site and click on kennedymart and you'll be asked to ID yourself before you get any info.  I won't give my info.   This is why NEO is headed down...our  "Government"  is in the pockets of businesses while we are paying our government employees salaries.  We are losing our pants twice!
