I just got the email below, from the head of a local arts not-for-profit to remain un-named, to protect the innocent: "Norm -- i just wanted to make sure you knew about the "sales pitch" we are about to get.". I read on to see that tax junkie CPAC - Community Partnership for Arts and Culture - is on the Cuyahoga County junk again, now hustling artists and arts organizations to tax themselves and patrons for the benefit of the dealers. Read on... anyone going to this who can cover for realneo?... Note: " RSVP’s are required!" Now, a little art, in honor of this event and the rush for the MedCon and taxation without sober representation, courtesy of Lou Reed:

This free tour is presented by the Ohio State University Extension, Cuyahoga County, kickoff is at the Trinity Cathedral/Charlie Comella Garden, but you may start the tour at any garden you wish. All 18 gardens on the tour will be open from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Please check out the map.

From my neighbors:  You may remember stories in in the PD about two suburban teens who executed extensive graffiti in Ohio City and near Archwood/Dennison. When arrested, they said their crime didn't matter "since Cleveland is a run-down ghetto city so who cares." 

We do care and those who would like to join our neighbors to show we do care by a show of support at the sentencing of these young men, please plan to attend sentencing on Monday, Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 22C, Justice Center, before Judge Judith Kilbane-Koch, Court of Common Pleas, 1200 Ontario.

 

The Cuyahoga County Energy Task Force is scheduled to conduct a public meeting on Thursday, September 13, 2007 at the Offices of Thompson Hine LLP on the 39 Floor of the Key Building, Downtown Cleveland.
