Born in the Great Depression, my father advised me to choose one of two professions-
doctor or barber.

The Elephant Keeper

Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 04/22/2011 - 06:10.

I haven't read Water for Elephants, yet, but I imagine it taps into a supernatural energy I once felt at a young age--so I will read it for the teens and most likely push it as a young adult novel.

Elephants are symbolic.  They are forever old and young at the same time.  I know the feeling. And, of course, they say--elephants never forget.  I have my own elephant memories.

Scorched Earth "Transformation" Plan

Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 04/08/2011 - 11:53.

This might explain the recent melt-down witnessed at REALNEO--the ex-poster is an employee of CSU and no doubt benefits from this wonderful CSU perk:

Hard to believe that Norm Roulet introduced the concept of accountability and social media to Northeast Ohio--almost ten years, ago. 

Since then, Facebook, Twitter and other network sites have broken down the Establishment's Rules of Engagement

PREVENT Bird Window Collisions

Submitted by lmcshane on Tue, 04/05/2011 - 20:09.

 

Sadly, today, a Downy Woodpecker collided with the sheet glass windows of a building in our neighborhood.  It's a sickening event to endure.  The thud and then the bird laying in pain on the grass.  It died from the massive trauma.  Migration is occurring now.  Please take time to reduce this problem by making your window surfaces less confusing to migrating and breeding birds.

American Indian Center protests Chief Wahoo
It pains me to see any one who feels disenfranchised and marginalized in our society--if it offends any one--why can't we remove it?  It especially saddens me, because I love baseball--and a lot of US love baseball. 

BAC Home Loans Servicing

Submitted by lmcshane on Mon, 03/28/2011 - 20:17.

I receive numerous "tips" in my email--this one is especially disturbing:

This Bac [Home Loans] - foreign corp owns 1550 properties in Cuyahoga County alone. 

Check the Auditors site:  http://fiscalofficer.cuyahogacounty.us/en-US/REPI.aspx

Not sure on the exact numbers, but can any one shed light on this investment scheme in NEO? 

Did BAC Home Loans assume Countrywide subprime foreclosures?

REALNEO Discovery

Time for spring cleaning and accepting the fact that finding a new nest
is not as easy as we fantasize it can be.

If the water is polluted, a fish must still swim. Upstream.

Dear Norm and Jeff--in the scope of things--you are the dualing forces here at REALNEO.

Don't like what you see posted at REALNEO?  Don't read it.  Ignore it. Don't comment on it. Let it die.

Don't form a lynch mob to remove the content--that in itself--defies the notion of FREE

Here are some images taken today at the Murray Hill Market in Little Italy.  Open for less than 7 weeks, it has already developed a following. 

Support this family with deep NEO roots, and enjoy sightseeing with your family on a sunny day.  Freshwater Cleveland provided a great promotion last week.

Runaways

Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 03/18/2011 - 08:48.

Sadly, a another child has disappeared in NEO--and an AMBER alert is not warranted, because the girl has been deemed a runaway. If you can help with any information, please call Cleveland Police at 911.

SAVING History

Submitted by lmcshane on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 20:56.


Today, you see the UGLY right out there for what it is--the real estate game in NEO--LAND cleared and history demolished at tax-payer expense for GREED.

And, you can SEE for yourself--another example of the massive FRAUD perpetrated in the NEO non-profit sector.

Broken fire hydrant at Pearl and Denison 500 yards from school
A walk around the neighborhood today revealed an infrastructure in shambles. 

President Obama--we need a Civilian Conservation Corp.  We need to fix America.  We are squandering precious natural resources and our future.  This fire hydrant is less than 500 yards away from a school on Denison Ave. and less than a block away from Cleveland Fire Station #20 at Archwood and SR 42/Pearl Rd..
