Thanks for posting these images MB.  On Monday, we'll try to figure out why they don't show up in the chronology. 
I recognize East 55th, the old Howard Johnson's hotel so visible to visitors from our shoreline highway and the HEK tag (unless HEK is from Sarajevo!)

You are right, that is the old Howard Johnson's and the infamous HEK is Cleveland's own. Also in this group are the old Stanard school campus, and a few abandoned factories off of East 55th near Cedar. The burned down house is in the same neighborhood as the factories.

I tried to post here on REALNEO first, since these pictures are more economic development than CMSD/education  related, but I had some difficulty. Widows Vista keeps knocking me offline with REALNEO's popup windows. I  posted the article on my blogspot site instead.

I am going to have to experiment a bit more to get my computer to cooperate with REALNEO.

Not much difference between Cleveland and a war zone is there? 

The reason that Mary Beth's post did not appear automatically on the home page when she posted on January 8, 2007 is because she posted her great collage to her "image gallery" and not to her realneo blog.  The image galleries are not promoted automatically to the home page while everyone's blog entry is automatically promoted to the home page. 

The Drupal software for the Realneo site is not very intuitive.   Understanding this sort of issue  is one of the topics that will be discussed at Monday’s Realneo orientation/help.
