Cool Cleveland: In redirecting some of the resources [because the recent
Cleveland Public School levy failed], will we lose some of the
arts-in-education programs?
Mayor Jane Campbell: No. I see there’s a strong support for the
arts from the board level, from the administration level. Kids tend to
do better, they stay in school. The evidence is compelling. When kids
are exposed to arts, their math scores go up...
Would you be in favor of a cabinet-level Arts &Culture officer for
Cleveland?
Here’s my concern: I don’t know how we’d pay for it
out of the City budget, and whether it’s better to have that be a
broader-based person who participates in the cabinet. The city of
Cleveland can’t carry the arts investments on our own...

New York's arts Mayor While not known as a huge fan of the arts, New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration "has done more to promote
and support the arts than any in a generation," according to The New
York Times. From the celebrated Christo project The Gates for which he
lobbied for over 10 years, to public art in every corner of the city, to
private dinners raising money for well-known and less-known arts groups,
to creating the first public school arts curriculum in a generation, to
putting Wynton Marsalis on the telephone hold message, Bloomberg offers
a model for how leadership can have real impact in cities of all sizes.
Bloomberg, the quintessential businessman, knows above all that "art, in
short, is good business." See New York Times story

Shaker Lakes wins Energy Star award The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes
installed an ultra-high efficient geothermal heat pump, high performance
lighting fixtures, motion-detecting occupancy sensors in restrooms and
other sustainable technologies a few years ago. Their environmentally
conscious decision paid off big, netting them an award from Energy Star,
a national awards program which honors organizations for exemplary
pollution prevention and stewardship of the environment via energy
efficiency, and a savings of 40 grand in annual energy costs while
preventing the emission of 590,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. With energy
costs predicted to rise 50% this winter, the savings can only go higher.
Now that's what we call resounding proof that sustainability is no pipe
dream. Learn more about the program or nominate another local energy
champ at < http://www.energystar.gov/smallbiz > www.EnergyStar.gov.

A&Q w/G: Jennifer Thomas
Cool Cleveland's CIO gets some answers, has more questions

I've known Jennifer Thomas for a while, since the days she did Cleveland
Clicks, a monthly networking event for the area's tech community. That
was where I first met Thomas Mulready. Cool Cleveland was included in
the first class of champions of the Civic Innovation Lab and will be
part of the second anniversary party the Civic Innovation Lab is
throwing next week. I'm also part of Meet The Bloggers and we've applied
to the Civic Innovation Lab. Those things aside, I'm interested in the
Civic Innovation Lab's process, so I set up a meeting with the Lab's
executive director Jennifer Thomas at Cafe AhRoma.

George Nememth: "Why Cafe AhRoma?"

Jennifer Thomas: "It gets me out of Starbucks."

The Civic Innovation Lab's office is in the Hanna Building. A week after
our interview, I saw Jennifer meeting in Starbucks in the Hanna...

GN: "Who's submitting ideas to the Lab?"

JT: "We've got traditional and non-traditional audiences. The
non-traditional group takes more risk and are sending their ideas to the
Lab. It's important for the mentors to see all these ideas from the
non-traditional sector."

GN: "Mentors?"

JT: "The panel that reviews the ideas submitted. The ones that have the
community connections, that are able to open doors for the applicants.
They've got to have a willingness to coach and lots of enthusasm. You
should interview them. They give an incredible amount to this
community..."

Cool Cleveland Preview
Street Magic @ Inside Outside Gallery 10/29

An art that everyone can do is hard to control. Street Magic, a
multimedia show, lives up to its name by providing viewers the
exhilaration of a graffiti artist outrunning the cops. This
inspirational and dynamic show, which includes a short documentary
“Public Discourse,” starts at 6PM on Fri 10/29. Make sure
your costume (wearing one will get you in free) allows for a good
peripheral view and listening through exhibit earphones.

Walking into the gallery a visitor immediately gravitates to a wall
sized installation by the self-called Swoon of New York City. It’s
a scene with life sized urban characters floating in their individual
collections of possessions in front of a view through the windows of a
subway car. The strap hanger crook of the arm echoes throughout the
piece. Each character had a story because a viewer wonders “why
are the characters the way they are?”

“I usually don’t structure stories beforehand,” wrote
Swoon in the placard next to this piece...

Cool Cleveland Sounds
20goto10
tears from the electric eye
Sword in Skull Records

When I think of the word organic, I'm thinking tofu. I'm thinking
flaxseed oil. Soymilk. Non-fat yogurt. Perhaps I'm just predisposed, but
I'm thinking health food store. In fact, quite possibly, the last thing
on my mind are computers, synthesizers, Alan Vega or any other element
that could be shoehorned into a clever "Six Degress of Depeche Mode"
game.

Yet, somehow listening to local synthpop outfit, 20goto10, I'm thinking
about Philip K. Dick's precursor to Blade Runner and how technology
transcends humanity in reverse. Strange. The approach to technology is
so heartfelt here. The acknowledgement of that New Wave is indeed alive.
Engaged. Attractive. And yeah, well... organic.

But it's best for me not to get ahead of myself.

The 1970s paved the way for home computers and synthpop to come into all
of our lives--hand in glorious mechanical hand. Kids in my neighborhood
were exploring the BASIC language in their "Intro to Programming"
courses, where the command "20 GO TO 10" would keep looping between
command lines, until someone hit the Break key. After class, we'd listen
to Suicide and Kraftwerk who were marrying Farfisa organs and primitive
drum machines with cyberlike precision. Somehow, that connection escaped
all of us, until Gary Numan and the Human League and Yazoo and early
Depeche Mode entered the classroom periphery...

Verb Ballets @ Cleveland Public Theatre We got an early start on this
past weekend's dance glut by catching Verb Ballets at Cleveland Public
Theatre on Thursday night. During the curtain raiser speeches we quickly
read the program notes ("Adventures in Dance Appreciation Lesson I [NOT]
Understanding the Abstract") while Verb's Executive Director Margaret
Carlson described the concert as a "laboratory" performance, an
experiment. This proved to be overstated, as Verb was no less polished
than usual, but in all four dances the choreographers took off in a
direction that was somehow new to them...

On Cleveland Wow! Love CoolCleveland.com! It's my first time here and
I'm writing a letter cuz' your readers moved me to share our story. My
husband and I are cradle Clevelanders who moved away seven years ago to
Ann Arbor, MI (they call themselves cool, too). When we left here, we
loved Cleveland. That's why we moved back "home" 2 months ago after the
consulting job in MI was over. Cleveland is a great town. The people are
super nice! It's cheap to live here. The homes are awesome. (Ann Arbor
was double the price.) West Side Market -- we go there twice a week.
Coventry is hip (nothing like a Tommy's RJ). Little Italy -- fun to walk
around, check out the shops, have a coffee and eat pastry or pizza. The
lakefront is a gem -- The west side views are awesome! There are jobs
here -- unlike Detroit. (Be grateful you don't live THERE.) Sadly, those
who have never left Cleveland don't know what they have. When we left
here, we thought we were heading to something "better." After two days,
we realized we missed "home" -- the nice people (Detroiters seem
tougher), cheap real estate, family and good friends. Also, when we
relocated we were childless. Now, we have a son. Life is different for
us (no more asking "what are we doing Saturday night?") Now we enjoy all
the great stuff for families here, from parks, museums, libraries and
school activities. We are so glad to be one of the many who have
returned "home," because living is great in Cleveland. Ann Arbor was
"cool," but it was never home to us. Glad to be home!
from Cool Cleveland reader Janet Gaydosh janetgaydoshATadelphia.net

As people living outside of Cleveland, we find CoolCleveland to be an
excellent source of hopeful information about your city. We visited a
number of years ago and found the city to be impressive. We have visited
New York, Toronto, Chicago, Milwaukee to name a few, and Cleveland
seemed to us to be not only friendly and affordable, but it seemed we
could get to many things just by hopping on our bikes. We are presently
planning to move from our small city to a big city. Cleveland is at the
top of our list based on past experience, affordability, weather, access
to sport and cultural events, and the West Side Market. We are also
encouraged by the interest in pushing for more technology companies to
locate there. The recent Economist rankings were also encouraging. And
yet we continue to read things that make us wonder if we know what we
are getting ourselves into. Is the crime that bad? Does the city really
shut down at night? Are there very few places to run dogs? Are the
schools getting any better or not? We are professionals with good jobs
but long for a city lifestyle. We continue to read that Cleveland wants
people like us to move there. But then we read that everything is
happening in the suburbs and that the city is languishing. Will the real
Cleveland please stand up? As an additional heads-up to city leaders, I
pose the following question: who is doing your recruiting of new, young
professionals to your city? I have tried to contact a number of local
organizations, which say they want to see new ideas and new faces in the
city, with questions about various things in regard to housing,
infrastructure, incentives, etc. I have not heard anything back from
anyone. How are you going to entice people who are not sold on Cleveland
when you are having trouble getting people who think they want to move
there to do so? Thanks again for the excellent eZine.
from Cool Cleveland reader Alan Block alan.blockATgmail.com

On globalization, the convention center and Cool Cleveland (See Get Out
< http://www.coolcleveland.com/index.php/Main/GetOut > here) First,
thank you again, Mr. Mulready, for sending out notices about the public
meetings/debates/forums happening in the city. Those of us who don't get
the PD or don't read the Public Notices in the tiny print at the back
have no other way of finding things out, because the city and county do
absolutely zero to keep residents informed. I often wonder whether
that's deliberate.... Went to the Pierre Everaert lecture at B-W which
you reviewed in the 10/19 edition. I really enjoyed Mr. Everaert's
presentation overall, but I had a big problem with his admiration of
Wal-Mart. Everaert was a personal friend of Sam Walton, and apparently,
doesn't see anything wrong with Walton's philosophies. He touted
Wal-Mart as a company which offers opportunities for all, especially our
young people, and offers good wages, healthcare benefits, etc. He cited
Walton's plan to "bring in the local paint store owner and the local
bicycle repairman to work in my stores." Of course, the part he didn't
mention is that the coming of a Wal-Mart destroys the little guys'
businesses first, so then Wal-Mart can use their expertise to progress
toward Big Box nirvana. I realize Mr. Everaert has lived in Europe for a
number of years, but he obviously does not see the reality of the
pittance wages Wal-Mart ! pays, nor its frequent failure to offer
healthcare benefits, leading to a depressing effect on the surrounding
community. I can't argue with Mr. Everaert's assertion that Wal-Mart is
the business model for retailing, but it's certainly NOT a model of
concern for its employees or concern for hosting communities. In short,
Everaert may be a genius when it comes to globalization, but he sure is
in an ivory tower when it comes to Joe Average. And about the convention
center plans..... I find it disturbing that it seems to be inevitable
that a new convention center will be built, whether we want it or not,
whether it's economically viable or not, whether the people of the city
can bear the [probable] tax burden or not. Also disturbing is that last
night's public commentary at the Convention Facilities Authority meeting
was limited to discussion of amenities, and no reference was to be made
to costs. The presenter for the Mall Site proposal even said, "If money
were no object, we could [include several structural features]....."
Since when would money NOT be an object, especially in a city as
cash-strapped as ours? We can't even keep our teachers on the payroll,
and the city is contemplating a 350-million-dollar-plus new facility
that we don't need and that will be empty a few years down the road.
Tradeshow and convention attendance is down ! across the country, even
at primo sites----this is an indisputable fact. And if Miami is paying
people to come to conventions there, and the biggest industrial
tradeshow in the country has relocated from downtown Chicago to the
suburbs because attendance doesn't justify using the enormous downtown
facility, why would anyone think that a new facility in Cleveland will
bring people flocking? It just doesn't make sense, on any level. Once
the fuel crunch comes down like a hammer in the not-too-distant future,
no one will be going to conventions ANYWHERE. Teleconferences, webcasts,
and webinars will replace in-person gatherings. No, what's going to
happen in Cleveland is that the developers are going to get their money
for building the new convention center, and then they're going to get
out fast, before it becomes a deserted white elephant, like its
relatives in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Shouldn't the people of
Cuyahoga County get to vote! on whether we want a new convention center,
before the suits dump one on us and expect us to pay for it?
from Cool Cleveland reader Denise Donaldson zoonorthATnetzero.com

On the convention center (See Get Out
< http://www.coolcleveland.com/index.php/Main/GetOut > here) I commend
you on your continued efforts to instantaneously spread the news. I was
disappointed that your publication in covering the October 18th meeting
did not mention more specifically the lack of the city proposed model
there and only the Forest City site model being there. Also it would be
of service to the community that you report that we, Citizens Vision
through our Friends of the Hulett Ore Unloaders and Steamer William G.
Mather Committee, as an organization have a distinct proposal building
North of Mall "C" and City Hall and connecting to the lakefront and that
we had our model there and people interested in knowing about our
proposal are able to request a PDF format or PowerPoint format
presentation by an e-mail to rrsATcitizensvision.org. We have been
participants in these meetings and were the first to offer the public,
City Hall, the County Commissioners, and the CFA a model of what our
lakefront could be developed into and maximize the benefits from this
priceless resource.

On the Towpath Trail (See Steelyard Commons pays for Canal Trail
< http://www.coolcleveland.com/index.php/Main/GetOut > here) Great news
that the trail from downtown to the toe path will be complete. Now if we
could simply get it to run east &west along I-480, it would be great
as more of us could save the environment and bike or run the 15 miles to
downtown.

Cleveland Interview: 
Cool Cleveland: In redirecting
some of the resources [because the recent Cleveland Public School
levy failed], will we lose some of the arts-in-education
programs? 
Mayor Jane Campbell: No. I see there’s a
strong support for the arts from the board level, from the
administration level. Kids tend to do better, they stay in school.
The evidence is compelling. When kids are exposed to arts, their
math scores go up... 
Would you be in favor of a cabinet-level Arts & Culture
officer for Cleveland? 
Here’s my concern: I don’t know how we’d pay for
it out of the City budget, and whether it’s better to have
that be a broader-based person who participates in the cabinet. The
city of Cleveland can’t carry the arts investments on our
own...

New York's arts Mayor
While not known as a huge fan of the arts, New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg's administration "has done more to promote and support
the arts than any in a generation," according to The New York
Times. From the celebrated Christo project The Gates
for which he lobbied for over 10 years, to public art in every
corner of the city, to private dinners raising money for well-known
and less-known arts groups, to creating the first public school
arts curriculum in a generation, to putting Wynton Marsalis on the
telephone hold message, Bloomberg offers a model for how leadership
can have real impact in cities of all sizes. Bloomberg, the
quintessential businessman, knows above all that "art, in short, is
good business." See New York Times story <a href=3D

Shaker Lakes wins Energy Star
award The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes installed
an ultra-high efficient geothermal heat pump, high performance
lighting fixtures, motion-detecting occupancy sensors in restrooms
and other sustainable technologies a few years ago. Their
environmentally conscious decision paid off big, netting them an
award from Energy Star, a national awards program which honors
organizations for exemplary pollution prevention and stewardship of
the environment via energy efficiency, and a savings of 40 grand in
annual energy costs while preventing the emission of 590,000 pounds
of carbon dioxide. With energy costs predicted to rise 50% this
winter, the savings can only go higher. Now that's what we call
resounding proof that sustainability is no pipe dream. Learn more

I've known Jennifer Thomas for a while, since the days she
did Cleveland Clicks, a monthly networking event for the area's
tech community. That was where I first met Thomas Mulready.
Cool Cleveland was included in the first class of
champions of the Civic Innovation Lab and will be part of the
second anniversary party the Civic Innovation Lab is throwing next
week. I'm also part of Meet The Bloggers and we've applied to the
Civic Innovation Lab. Those things aside, I'm interested in the
Civic Innovation Lab's process, so I set up a meeting with the
Lab's executive director Jennifer Thomas at Cafe
AhRoma.
George Nememth: "Why Cafe AhRoma?"
Jennifer Thomas: "It gets me out of
Starbucks."
The Civic Innovation Lab's office is in the Hanna
Building. A week after our interview, I saw Jennifer meeting in
Starbucks in the Hanna...
GN: "Who's submitting ideas to the Lab?"
JT: "We've got traditional and non-traditional
audiences. The non-traditional group takes more risk and are
sending their ideas to the Lab. It's important for the mentors to
see all these ideas from the non-traditional sector."
GN: "Mentors?"
JT: "The panel that reviews the ideas
submitted. The ones that have the community connections, that are
able to open doors for the applicants. They've got to have a
willingness to coach and lots of enthusasm. You should interview
them. They give an incredible amount to this
community..."

that everyone can do is hard to control. Street Magic, a multimedia
show, lives up to its name by providing viewers the exhilaration of
a graffiti artist outrunning the cops. This inspirational and
dynamic show, which includes a short documentary “Public
Discourse,” starts at 6PM on Fri 10/29. Make
sure your costume (wearing one will get you in free) allows for a
good peripheral view and listening through exhibit earphones.
Walking into the gallery a visitor immediately gravitates to a
wall sized installation by the self-called Swoon of New York City.
It’s a scene with life sized urban characters floating in
their individual collections of possessions in front of a view
through the windows of a subway car. The strap hanger crook of the
arm echoes throughout the piece. Each character had a story because
a viewer wonders “why are the characters the way they
are?”
“I usually don’t structure stories
beforehand,” wrote Swoon in the placard next to this
piece...

I think of the word organic, I'm thinking tofu.
I'm thinking flaxseed oil. Soymilk. Non-fat yogurt. Perhaps I'm
just predisposed, but I'm thinking health food store. In
fact, quite possibly, the last thing on my mind are
computers, synthesizers, Alan Vega or any other element that could
be shoehorned into a clever "Six Degress of Depeche Mode" game.
Yet, somehow listening to local synthpop outfit, 20goto10, I'm
thinking about Philip K. Dick's precursor to Blade Runner
and how technology transcends humanity in reverse.
Strange. The approach to technology is so heartfelt here.
The acknowledgement of that New Wave is indeed alive.
Engaged. Attractive. And yeah, well... organic.
But it's best for me not to get ahead of myself.
The 1970s paved the way for home computers and synthpop to come
into all of our lives--hand in glorious mechanical hand. Kids in my
neighborhood were exploring the BASIC language in their "Intro to
Programming" courses, where the command "20 GO TO 10" would keep
looping between command lines, until someone hit the Break key.
After class, we'd listen to Suicide and Kraftwerk who were marrying
Farfisa organs and primitive drum machines with cyberlike
precision. Somehow, that connection escaped all of us, until Gary
Numan and the Human League and Yazoo and early Depeche Mode entered
the classroom periphery...

Verb Ballets @ Cleveland Public
Theatre We got an early start on this past
weekend's dance glut by catching Verb Ballets at Cleveland Public
Theatre on Thursday night. During the curtain raiser speeches we
quickly read the program notes ("Adventures in Dance Appreciation
Lesson I [NOT] Understanding the Abstract") while Verb's Executive
Director Margaret Carlson described the concert as a "laboratory"
performance, an experiment. This proved to be overstated, as Verb
was no less polished than usual, but in all four dances the
choreographers took off in a direction that was somehow new to
them...

On Cleveland Wow!
Love CoolCleveland.com! It's my first time here and I'm writing a
letter cuz' your readers moved me to share our story. My husband
and I are cradle Clevelanders who moved away seven years ago to Ann
Arbor, MI (they call themselves cool, too). When we left here, we
loved Cleveland. That's why we moved back "home" 2 months ago after
the consulting job in MI was over. Cleveland is a great town. The
people are super nice! It's cheap to live here. The homes are
awesome. (Ann Arbor was double the price.) West Side Market -- we
go there twice a week. Coventry is hip (nothing like a Tommy's RJ).
Little Italy -- fun to walk around, check out the shops, have a
coffee and eat pastry or pizza. The lakefront is a gem -- The west
side views are awesome! There are jobs here -- unlike Detroit. (Be
grateful you don't live THERE.) Sadly, those who have never left
Cleveland don't know what they have. When we left here, we thought
we were heading to something "better." After two days, we realized
we missed "home" -- the nice people (Detroiters seem tougher),
cheap real estate, family and good friends. Also, when we relocated
we were childless. Now, we have a son. Life is different for us (no
more asking "what are we doing Saturday night?") Now we enjoy all
the great stuff for families here, from parks, museums, libraries
and school activities. We are so glad to be one of the many who
have returned "home," because living is great in Cleveland. Ann
Arbor was "cool," but it was never home to us. Glad to be
home!

As people living outside of
Cleveland, we find CoolCleveland to be an excellent source of
hopeful information about your city. We visited a number of years
ago and found the city to be impressive. We have visited New York,
Toronto, Chicago, Milwaukee to name a few, and Cleveland seemed to
us to be not only friendly and affordable, but it seemed we could
get to many things just by hopping on our bikes. We are presently
planning to move from our small city to a big city. Cleveland is at
the top of our list based on past experience, affordability,
weather, access to sport and cultural events, and the West Side
Market. We are also encouraged by the interest in pushing for more
technology companies to locate there. The recent Economist rankings
were also encouraging. And yet we continue to read things that make
us wonder if we know what we are getting ourselves into. Is the
crime that bad? Does the city really shut down at night? Are there
very few places to run dogs? Are the schools getting any better or
not? We are professionals with good jobs but long for a city
lifestyle. We continue to read that Cleveland wants people like us
to move there. But then we read that everything is happening in the
suburbs and that the city is languishing. Will the real Cleveland
please stand up? As an additional heads-up to city leaders, I pose
the following question: who is doing your recruiting of new, young
professionals to your city? I have tried to contact a number of
local organizations, which say they want to see new ideas and new
faces in the city, with questions about various things in regard to
housing, infrastructure, incentives, etc. I have not heard anything
back from anyone. How are you going to entice people who are not
sold on Cleveland when you are having trouble getting people who
think they want to move there to do so? Thanks again for the
excellent eZine.

On globalization, the convention center and Cool
Cleveland (See Get Out <a href=3D
"http://r.pm0.net/s/c?3gv.e8sh.80.awp9.zld" target=3D
"_blank">here</a>) First, thank
you again, Mr. Mulready, for sending out notices about the public
meetings/debates/forums happening in the city. Those of us who
don't get the PD or don't read the Public Notices in the tiny print
at the back have no other way of finding things out, because the
city and county do absolutely zero to keep residents informed. I
often wonder whether that's deliberate.... Went to the Pierre
Everaert lecture at B-W which you reviewed in the 10/19 edition. I
really enjoyed Mr. Everaert's presentation overall, but I had a big
problem with his admiration of Wal-Mart. Everaert was a personal
friend of Sam Walton, and apparently, doesn't see anything wrong
with Walton's philosophies. He touted Wal-Mart as a company which
offers opportunities for all, especially our young people, and
offers good wages, healthcare benefits, etc. He cited Walton's plan
to "bring in the local paint store owner and the local bicycle
repairman to work in my stores." Of course, the part he didn't
mention is that the coming of a Wal-Mart destroys the little guys'
businesses first, so then Wal-Mart can use their expertise to
progress toward Big Box nirvana. I realize Mr. Everaert has lived
in Europe for a number of years, but he obviously does not see the
reality of the pittance wages Wal-Mart ! pays, nor its frequent
failure to offer healthcare benefits, leading to a depressing
effect on the surrounding community. I can't argue with Mr.
Everaert's assertion that Wal-Mart is the business model for
retailing, but it's certainly NOT a model of concern for its
employees or concern for hosting communities. In short, Everaert
may be a genius when it comes to globalization, but he sure is in
an ivory tower when it comes to Joe Average. And about the
convention center plans..... I find it disturbing that it seems to
be inevitable that a new convention center will be built, whether
we want it or not, whether it's economically viable or not, whether
the people of the city can bear the [probable] tax burden or not.
Also disturbing is that last night's public commentary at the
Convention Facilities Authority meeting was limited to discussion
of amenities, and no reference was to be made to costs. The
presenter for the Mall Site proposal even said, "If money were no
object, we could [include several structural features]....." Since
when would money NOT be an object, especially in a city as
cash-strapped as ours? We can't even keep our teachers on the
payroll, and the city is contemplating a 350-million-dollar-plus
new facility that we don't need and that will be empty a few years
down the road. Tradeshow and convention attendance is down ! across
the country, even at primo sites----this is an indisputable fact.
And if Miami is paying people to come to conventions there, and the
biggest industrial tradeshow in the country has relocated from
downtown Chicago to the suburbs because attendance doesn't justify
using the enormous downtown facility, why would anyone think that a
new facility in Cleveland will bring people flocking? It just
doesn't make sense, on any level. Once the fuel crunch comes down
like a hammer in the not-too-distant future, no one will be going
to conventions ANYWHERE. Teleconferences, webcasts, and webinars
will replace in-person gatherings. No, what's going to happen in
Cleveland is that the developers are going to get their money for
building the new convention center, and then they're going to get
out fast, before it becomes a deserted white elephant, like its
relatives in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Shouldn't the people of
Cuyahoga County get to vote! on whether we want a new convention
center, before the suits dump one on us and expect us to pay for
it?

On the convention center (See Get Out
<a href=3D
"http://r.pm0.net/s/c?3gv.e8sh.81.awp9.zld" target=3D
"_blank">here</a>) I commend
you on your continued efforts to instantaneously spread the news. I
was disappointed that your publication in covering the October 18th
meeting did not mention more specifically the lack of the city
proposed model there and only the Forest City site model being
there. Also it would be of service to the community that you report
that we, Citizens Vision through our Friends of the Hulett Ore
Unloaders and Steamer William G. Mather Committee, as an
organization have a distinct proposal building North of Mall "C"
and City Hall and connecting to the lakefront and that we had our
model there and people interested in knowing about our proposal are
able to request a PDF format or PowerPoint format presentation by
an e-mail to rrsATcitizensvision.org. We have been participants in
these meetings and were the first to offer the public, City Hall,
the County Commissioners, and the CFA a model of what our lakefront
could be developed into and maximize the benefits from this
priceless resource.

that the trail from downtown to the toe path will be complete. Now
if we could simply get it to run east & west along I-480, it
would be great as more of us could save the environment and bike or
run the 15 miles to downtown.
