This except of an analysis of the entire Tax Certificate process deserves attention and consideration by Cuyahoga County leadership. People other than the distressed citizens have the wherewithall to say what needs said in an objective format. Read the complete analysis by clicking the hyperlinked sections.

Well, Cleveland's politicians have used the people at large once again to earn one of the top rankings for the poorest City....interesting.

Our politicians have learned to make huge applications for federal funding allocations based on the idea that our "people" are poor and cannot fend for themselves.... They have stripped the American Spirit of the residents of our city and used them as quotas...

The hustle and bustle of the big city life is something to be thought about by home grown folks from down yonder. Those folks who come from good old fashioned wholesome homesteads and taught to be honest, respectable, and to be a "man of your word"...with a handshake that seals a deal....should truly reevaluate any considerations to submerse yourself in the big city life that often "consumes" your soul and devours your best qualities.

On my daughter's very first day of school, anxieties filled the air. She was a very special child; she was my Angel...and I had to leave her with a new teacher and room full of kids. Trust me; it was totally scary to leave her there....

NEGATIVELY CLEVELAND..... Cleveland's Cudell neighborhood gets California fruit trees to plant on 87th & Detroit while uncaring people illegally dump their trash in the middle of the street on West 112th off Madison. Imagine how the ugly must keep getting cleaned up to progress forward.... Exhausting to deal with it...but now we see why the deaf ears and blind eyes of disgusted citizens become irreverant to participating...

Cleveland city Population Growth: Census 2000 to Census 2010

YEEHAW!!! 

There was a time in history when hillbillies gathered in circles at every opportunity from cookouts to funerals to have a little Jamboree with the family. Grandmas grabbed the spoons, grandkids grabbed the harmonicas, Uncles grabbed the banjos, and Dad got on the washtub bass drum. Soon, there was harmony on the mountaintop with laughter and clapping that echoed across the valley.

Most Blacks don't vote in Cleveland....and they are the majority of the population...

Most Felons don't vote in Cleveland...and they are a "Block Voting Group"....

Most Hispanics don't vote in Cleveland....and they are a "VOTING BLOCK"....

how smart could they be if THEY ALLOW POLITICIANS TO BE CORRUPT BY NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE CONSISTENTLY? 

We write about corruption, government waste, collusion, abusive practices, fraud, and public servants violating the public at large...We stick our necks out for those who, often, cannot protect themselves.... we love our community at large far beyond words....we give far beyond words-sometimes digging deep into our own pockets and stretching our resources thin to help those who have lost the ability to help themselves....We protest, we make calls, we write letters, we send emails and we demand social justice.... But who really cares? 

THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, STATE OF OHIO AND HUD LEADERSHIP SHOULD UNITE TO REVERSE THE FORECLOSURES AND REPLACE FRANK'S HOMES AT MINIMUM FOR THEIR HEINOUS ACTS AGAINST THIS MAN! 

Realneo brought some of Northeast Ohio's most engaged and amazingly brilliant activists together and incited more than enough community activism over the last couple years to keep the feds busy for the endurance. I have been blessed to know, interact, and learn from so many of these people including Lily Miller, Norm Roulet, Debra Shephard and many more... Heck, without REALNEO, I probably never would have heard of ROLDO...but reading his work has been truly stimulating.

Imagine living without a sense of community...

Imagine living without a HD TV....no cable, no converter box, and no signal to the world.

Imagine living without transportation....

Imagine earning barely enough to afford rent, utilities, food, and minimal basics.

Imagine living without excursions like Cedar Point, expensive restaurants, or annual vacations.

Imagine not knowing your next door neighbor's name.

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.

Lots to think about on this subject matter! 

 Seems like Cleveland would be the place to start recycling glass and improving our quality of life with such resources...

While sorting, saving, reviewing and deleting over 3,000 emails; I found myself reviewing the mindboggling campaign trail of last year. It was intriguing to see countless organizations vying to host "Candidate Forums" and present "Candidate Info" via their mediums. The entire process is quite demanding and requires an administrative assistant or staff that can keep a candidate bouncing around town daily for months on end trying to meet, greet, and communicate with key leadership throughout the region. It was extraordinary to experience this environment.

"There is nothing more constant than change...." was one of my child's father's favorite sayings...

I have heard many business ideas about Cleveland..."we need this or that would be great"... Who's got the cahunas to bring it to Cleveland??? 

1) "Cleverland"....a family oriented amusement park in the city limits of Cleveland.

2) "Teen Club Organization"...ask Orlando Vicarone (216) 322-8881

What type of entreprenuers and business investments would you like to see in your neighborhood? Living in Cleveland has dramatically changed over the generations with it's dwindling population. Yet, a new generation of investments has been ongoing in downtown and along certain corridors like Detroit Shoreway, Ohio City, and Tremont which have definitely been a driving force of new economic development in Cleveland.
