Jeff Buster's blogDISTURBANCE ALWAYS IN FRONT - NOT BEHIND - OUR INTENDED VIEWSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 13:39.
 I used to always open the window of the car when I took photos of scenes passing by. But at 60 mph you’re apt to get your lens cap blown off. ( categories: )

 Following is a piece I posted on BFD in response to Ed Morrison bringing the Boston Civic Engagement Summit to my attention last week. (the links wouldn’t copy live to BFD when I pasted in my Word doc. there, so I duplicate the post here with live links) ( categories: )
DIRTY DEALER STRUGGLES to UNDERSTAND PORT AUTHORITY OWNS UNIVERSITY SQUARE’S 40.5 MILLON $ PARKING GARAGE FAILURESubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 05/04/2008 - 14:42.
 The plain, simple minded, Dirty Dealer is unable to cut through the glib assurances of Town Engineer Ciuni and others who continue to ambiguously suggest that the Cuyahoga County owned University Square Plaza (mall) 5 deck parking garage is structurally safe . The photo above shows a typical double T precast garage installation at another parking structure. Notice that there is much more depth of the vertical leg of the T resting on the horizontal (beam is concrete in the above photo but steel in USq.) beam than in the USq. garage lower photo here in an earlier article on Realneo.

AMERITRUST BREUER TOWER SALE - $5000++ LESS, BUT REAL MONEY DOWNSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 04/02/2008 - 14:50.
 Robert Carrick, County Purchasing Department, holds a half million dollar bank check which was submitted as part of the K & D Group bid package. The half million dollars are non-refundable to K & D should they not complete the purchase of the Ameritrust property. There are two 6 month periods during which K & D can close the deal with the County. But if K & D fails to close during the next 12 months, they forfeit the $500,000.00 to the County. ( categories: )
WHY RIDE A ROLLER COASTER, VISCERAL THRILL?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 19:49.
Engineering continues to out do itself - with computers and finite element analysis - creating "thrill" roller coaster rides which test our faith in physics. I love the physics – and the curvilinear ride tracks – and they say riding the coasters is safer than driving…but geezzz, why do it? ( categories: )
A NOBEL FOR SKYPE?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 16:59.
 Almost every time I post to Realneo I find I am asking myself the same question (which comes from a sense of urgency): is this post what I should be spending my time on? is the subject a priority? ( categories: )

CUYAHOGA COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES: MEDCON OR STREET LIGHTS?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 13:43.
 At the City Club recently, Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson-Jones suggested that the first priority for the County goverment was "economic development", and that's why the Commissioners and Fred the Fixer Nance were working so hard to be able to pay a wealthy developer from out of state to build and operate a public-private pirate ship here in Cuyahoga. CHRIS KENNEDY FACILITATES TOTAL COLLAPSE OF CLEVELAND AND CUYAHOGA COUNTYSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 12:25.
 Of all the possible investments that are needed here in Northeast Ohio’s Cuyahoga County and in Cleveland, the County Commissioners have chosen – in secret meetings and without the vote of the public – to spend over $900,000,000.00 (even more for a possible 60 year contract) in a scheme whose only acknowledged public benefit is amorphous “trickle down”.

GREAT SPIRIT!Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 23:34.
 With all the public noise she's been exposed to in NEO, and with all the Dirty Dealer's un-ethical public noise about what was private, to see her today with her smile was an affirmation.
AND GREAT SMILE!
