The Aragon Ballroom has looked like this for too long...And to think it is listed as a CLEVELAND LANDMARK!!!!

....the poor don't deserve social justice...they are the quota tools for the middle class....

....the elderly should be steered out of their homes to make room for the gentrified Yuppies....

....affordable low income housing means providing housing for the people on vouchers that afford landlords exceptional rental determinations....

SLOW DOWN!!! KIDS AT PLAY!!! Watch out for Kids being Kids!

Family is the Fruit of Life...

Happy Easter to All....

May you have a safe, happy, and memorable holiday! 

May you know your blessings! 

May you share the holiday with someone special to you.

May you remember those who are alone.

May you have smiles, hear children's laughter, and enjoy the drizzles of rain from Angel's tears above! 

God Bless all...

Have a wonderful holiday! 

Received this from the White House today...

Good afternoon,

Have you ever wondered how much of your own tax dollars actually go to support foreign aid? To support education? Well, now you can find out – and you might be surprised. In his State of the Union Address, President Obama promised that this year, for the first time, American taxpayers would be able to go online and see exactly how their federal tax dollars are spent. So today, we’re announcing the first-ever federal taxpayer receipt.

State of the County Address

The County Executive's State of the County Address was held on April 6, 2011.

Below is an email that I received regarding Cuyahoga County asking the question, "CAN WE COMPETE GLOBALLY? What is your opinion on this subject matter in light of historically business unfriendly issues in combination with the changes to our local government structure to the new Charter? What things do you believe will make our community more globally attractive to business investors at all levels? How do you feel about the small business entreprenuers in our community? 

Public Transit Youth Summit needs participants

What's your opinion of this biblical citation? Just curious what other's think it means... I heard a great sermon about this on the trip North over the weekend. Amazing how many countless perspectives this one little passage encompasses.

I have been noticing my gas guage on the vehicles I drive over the last few weeks like anyone else these days. With gas prices so high, who can afford to not watch their mileage and gas usage? A couple weekends ago, my dad came to visit in his vehicle too. It was running in perfect condition....

The "Battle of Life" was a poem that a girl in my 8th grade class wrote. The poem got passed around and it was pretty deep for a 14 year old girl to be writing and beyond mature for her youthful age. At the time, it went over my head a bit. In retrospect, that young girl was ages beyond her peers.

DBRA now NONER is deteling her posts, blogs, and account info... Should she do this? What is your opinion? What happened to make things so bad here? 

Interesting how our local government ascertained millions of dollars to demo most of Cleveland's blight and now carpetbagging contractors are in from as far away as Kentucky to do the work while local persons are out of work!

Our great City leadership should be assessing these contracts and soliciting local contractors for this work!

What part of the City of Cleveland planning commission's 2020 vision is helping our lifelong residents?

The St. Patrick's Day Parade was delightful this year... one of the most awesome "FREE" events that our citizens enjoy....

In less than 20 days, you will be gone from our community indefinitely. While we wish to send you early Birthday Wishes; we recognize that retiring from the Cleveland Police Department will also open new doors for you. We wish you the best! Along the way, you've created unforgetable memories for countless persons who've had the honor of being arrested and cited by you. I can remember a few myself.

Before you might appreciate my rsvp...you'd have to  understand the PAMPERED PERSPECTIVE OF UNION WORKERS....so read this PD article and the countless comments...

It's extraordinary to research this entity.... Ultimately...

The question is: 

HOW MUCH OF OUR (LOW INCOME & QUOTA DEPENDENT) CITY OF CLEVELAND NSP, HUD, AND  CDBG FUNDING WENT TINTO THIS PROJECT?

 APPARENTLY, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE THINGS OUTLINED IN THE ORIGINAL REQUIREMENTS...BUT IT GETS EXCEPTIONAL CONSIDERATION FROM OUR COUNTY AND CITY LEADERSHIP...... MORE TO FOLLOW LATER.... BUT FIRST A FEW FACTS TO DIGEST:

Today, my beautiful Angel told me to "LOOK MOMMY!!!" as I was driving down the road... She wanted me to see this beautiful sunset on the west side of Cleveland... We drove along the shoreway and took several photos of the absolutely awesome horizon views! It was quite the moment to share with my child... Priceless...

Home Rule in Cleveland, Ohio gives powers to the local municipal leaders that provides minimal oversight by the "State" Government.

So precious are the pure of heart... Paulie was a beautiful red haired, blue eyed  boy... Mom once told me about how he tried to change his brother's diaper and flushed the diaper down the toilet after soiling the entire house with the contents and coming to get her saying; "Mommy, 'brother' sh#t....I changed diaper!" She had to call in the plumber! 

Yet, his life was taken away harshly and no one deserves to live with that kind of horror story. Our family has endured more than our share, that is for sure...
