The 5-hour demonstration, carrying the Welcome Jimmy Dimora Public Square sign, was carried out mostly in Public Square a.k.a. Jimmy Dimora Public Square. For a short, the demonstration moved to Mall A to welcome the July 2016 Cleveland Critical Mass – bicyclists who ride on the last Friday of every month from downtown to another location for an evening of fun.

Jimmy Dimora Public Square was barricaded and all the adjoining roads were closed. The water feature in the new Square (very popular with the kids) was turned off. There were long lines at the food trucks and vendors were busy selling lighted wands.

The recently completed Public Square has been nicknamed the Jimmy Dimora Public Square because of corruption involved in the process.

The 1hr. – 15 min. long concert which started at 9:00 p.m. included favorite pieces from American composers (George Gershwin and John Philip Sousa) and popular songs like “Ol’ Man River”.

The crowd which started assembling at 6:00 p.m. was in a festive mood and enjoyed the evening and the fireworks which finished at 10:30 p.m.

 

WELCOME JIMMY DIMORA PUBLIC SQUARE!

 

 

So far, since August 2014, there have been over 700 hours of demonstrations – first with the LEAVE PUBLIC SQUARE ALONE signs and now with WELCOME JIMMY DIMORA PUBLIC SQUARE signs. This is the equivalent of walking over 2,100 miles carrying a sign.

The demonstrations continue unabated with the goal of educating the public about corruption in Cuyahoga county.
