There have been several favored political stooges in the history of Northeast Ohio.  Surely, Russo and Dimora stand out - and, they operated with an understanding that they, too, were above exposure.  Mike White had his bagman, Nate Gray, who took the fall for him.  But, why does the media in Northeast Ohio protect Jim Rokakis and Gus Frangos (Gus is Lou's brother and partner and heads the "Land Bank")???  

Epistemology.  How do you know what you know?  In the past, the print media controlled much of what we knew and our thought process on issues.  Has that changed with the Internet and citizen reporting?  

 Please take a moment to weigh in on the final Towpath Trail connections as it winds towards Lake Erie and Whiskey Island.

Former Economic Director for City of Cleveland Chris Warren deserves the accolades for our lovely reimagined parking lot in historic Brooklyn Centre.

 Today, I received a happy surprise, as a neighbor gave me flowers.  Sometimes, it doesn't suck to live in the City of Cleveland.  

Reflections on Father's Day in CLE - after HEAVEN of pool in Frostburg - went to Lincoln Park yesterday - did NOT go in the cloudy, cold water. 

 Hello Residents of the City of Cleveland - you do have a choice.  

Please rid us of the corrupt "it is what it is..." mentality.  Get RID of Frank Jackson and Martin Sweeney - vote for transparency and accountability (at least there is a promise of something-anything better than the STATUS QUO).

Saturday - September 21, 2013 - 1:30 p.m.  West Side Market : Protestors at intersection of Lorain Ave. and West 25th.  See 350.org for more information on how you can help.

I am furious about what I read. How has our country changed so far, so fast, that this is happening? Our senators and representatives, as well as the government officials, and often the judges, are reprehensible. * * * * Quite some time ago, there were other whistleblowers about the extraordinary NSA surveillance and the immense building they are building in Utah to house it. I wrote you about it then and you said it had been forbidden. Well, they are doing it anyhow! What are you doing about it? Nothing I can see. I agree with those that ask for an investigation.

A lake view worthy of any tourist destination - Cleveland Lakefront at Edgewater, Cleveland, Ohio June 2013.

 Juvenile Justice Center (cost overruns-toxic), CMHA new headquarters (cost overruns-disasterous "green" design),  Forlani VA complex (indicted on federal corruption charges-see how TIF and Port monies manipulated)

Thanks to Korbi Roberts for this enlightening video and to Cleveland Area History:

 If this article is to be believed, very little. Unfortunately, it probably is at least mostly correct.

Luckily they don't have it here, as far as I can tell, in fact much that isn't listed as organic is still really organic per local articlles, and I cook and bake mostly from scratch. I bake much too large a batch for me and share with my neighbors. A young Texas systems engineer neighbor says he can tell.
