Ed Hauser knew how cool a place this is. 

Have you been there yet?

I was analyzing the lay of the land around the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Sunday and thought I'd visit the region's most valuable real estate, along the blue shores of Lake Erie. Driving down MLK, I went through one of the few ugly mouseholes under the Freeway and traintracks thal block almost all reasonable public access to the lakefront, and chose to not go right, to where millionaires live, in Bratenahl, but left, where lunatic leaders have failed to extract a red cent of real value from our greatest natural resource...

All these, and many more, beautiful, edible vegetables are growing right here in NEO.  Norm, and Susan, and many others who are looking ahead,  have been advocating urban gardening - well these foods with their roots in the ground aren't exacly downtown Cleveland - but they could be.  

Growing these vegetables takes a lot of physical work - but it is a healthy task and a joyous one.

In Cleveland, Ohio the taxpayers pay for the operation of DAYTIME lighting for the private, Sherman Act - exempted corporate monopoly racket, while many areas of the Cleveland community have been rewarded with darkness and rusted off street lamp poles.  

But there is HOPE! 

The Toby Cosgrove Corridor - a 100 million dollar per mile 6 lane extenstion of I490  with no noise or exhaust fumes, is promised to il luminate these DARK areas of Cleveland.

I wasn't looking for The Columbus School of Art, but I easily found it. World's greatest sign, or art?

This definitely shows Columbus is big on art.

I don't think Fiat will be able to do much with Chrysler - unless Fiat completely drops all the Chrysler products.  

Over the past 20 years, I've spent most of my "professional" time as an entrepreneur, with world-class expertise conducting multi-dimensional, multi-client relational comparative data and best practice analyses of any aspects of the world's largest and best global enterprises, environments and systems, and developing and consulting on innovations and total quality improvement. This work has generated a wealth of knowledge on large general systems, with a unique expertise in information systems and telecommunications. REALNEO is a product of this highest level expertise, drawn from the best practices of the best organizations on Earth. What REALNEO has developed for Cuyahoga County - what has been generated out of the REALNEO-generated Real Cooperative - takes general systems innovation to a whole new level of making us the brightest greenest place on Earth. So, we really do have a purpose to Cuyahoga County owning the Breuer, and the vision is beautifully expressed in this great rendering above, to be REAL COOP citizen headquarters of the open source capital of this brightest greenest state of Earth.

 I have some great pictures from a great Parade the Circle and will post them as soon as possible... here's the end of the parade, which was a true work of art!

If you were there, what were your favorite highlights...?

One I loved for sure was this...

Parade's over... time to get to work....

Look for the signs.  Every Saturday in Old Brooklyn, there is a hive of activity here.
