In a light drizzle at the front door of Cleveland Heights City Hall this evening Kathy Wray Coleman and others addressed the 5 or so commercial news camera crews who were in attendance.   This curfew story obviously must have strong commercial news potential. Cleveland Heights City Hall is located on the Severance Mall campus at the corner of Taylor and Mayfield. There was no police presence, and those 15 or so citizens who attended were a pretty even mix of white and black.

 Norm Edwards sees it my way when he states:

 that he believed that the entire contract for Medmart was illegal and that it was done purposely to keep out blacks out.  

I don't think the MEDCON tax brain child of Tim Hagan was concerned or cared about who worked on the site either which way.  I think the Medcon county wide tax was Tim Hagan's Jim Dimora moment.

Do it in Public, and no one will notice.  

Try to grab a tiki hut, and it will be all over the news...

The truth shall set us free.

In the event you missed this beautiful display of flowers and hearty dedication to a garden around a REALNEO member's home; I thought I would share the delightful photos I was able to capture upon visiting today.

This is a plastic water pistol I found in the park.   Looked like the lawnmower ran over it. 

What was in the head of the designer...was it molded in China...did a parent buy it for their kid...

Pretty sophisticated color scheme.   

So I laid the broken pieces out on a white matt for this study.

Dear editors of the Plain Dealer:

Thank you for the continuing focus the Plain Dealer has been giving to the
controversial, and potentially very damaging to all of the Great Lakes region,
piece of legislation that passed both the Ohio House and Senate—and especially
for your “11th hour” editorial leading Ohio governor John Kasich, and all readers,
back to his utterance of support for the Great Lakes last year on the campaign trail.

tremont west development corporation, by-laws need to be changed to  have at least seven of the fifteen board members be minorities and low income - poverty - that are challenged, military veterans, etc., - in the past and present the way the fifteen board members are elected is by a conspirousy to have like minded people be canidates that will think alike for the status qua system that favors money, power, politics, class, race, etc., - while doing some good - but mostly causing "Beware of gentrification with big government programs" -

So much for transparency--did you know that CE FitzGerald quietly disposed of Richard Klaibur at the County Engineer's office and created an even larger Public Works bureaucracy under former ODOT 12 Deputy Director Bonnie Teeuwen? !!

What is the cost of the infrastructure behind this image?  

Watering lawns.

And then the community needs to haul away the cut grass.

Great Lakes water - used for what purpose?

Scott's Lawn says put on the four step process.

What does common sense say?

 

 

Sweltering heat will expand northward this weekend, sending temperatures into the 90s and 100s across much of the Heartland.

A dome of heat will bubble over the nation's midsection through the upcoming weekend and is set to expand north and east next week.

 Here is a report from the Mansfield News Journal  regarding a recent Ohio Supreme Court decision on public records.

TWDC sent out another announcement about the ODOT  updates, which are to be held monthly. This one gives very little time since the meeting is TOMORROW. Since they are to be held every month, it looks like it will always be on a Wednesday and at Sokolowski's. Tonight is only an hour, not two hours as it was last time. Text of the message follows.

 

This is an image of what every culture needs to thrive and survive.  Young people who are happily learning and developing self confidence through the efforts of family and friends and teachers.

Very interesting quilt - I like the sheep and the dog.

Recently, I caught a rebroadcast of a PBS documentary entitled: The Judge and the General.

Speaking on conditions of anonymity, an ex-DEA agent recently disclosed that the CIA did an aerial spray in California back in the fifties as part of a behavior modification experiment.  The ex-DEA agent, former County Sheriff and one time California  “super-cop” stated that the end  result of the chemical exposure was a breakdown in normal h

The image above shows cephalanthus occidentalis (button bush) at the end of it's flowing period.  Bumble bees are still in attendance.

Most of the seeds have left the center flower, leaving a very neat green ball.

Is there an advantage/disadvantage of this flower geometry over other flower shapes?
