The John and Mildred Putnam Sculpture Collection is especially visible in this community, right now, as one day following the reception celebrating the addition of work #45 to University Circle - the stunning "Inner Circle", by David Deming - the collection welcomed to NEO the landmark sculpture "Acrobats", by important regional artist Keith Haring (born in 1958 in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, qualifying him for the collection).

Municipal Geothermal for Independent Green Republic of East ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 11/01/2007 - 09:45.
While looking on Green City Blue Lake for a posting on the Breuer, I came across an interesting article by Marc Lefkowitz called "Warm up to district geothermal in Cleveland", which writes "Representatives from Case, UCI, Cleveland Clinic, city of Cleveland, Flats East Bank and Neighborhood Progress, Inc.— which is considering geothermal district power at its St. Luke’s development—met yesterday (October 22, 2007) at the Cleveland Foundation" to discuss "The economics of district-wide geothermal". It seems these groups are exploring large scale geothermal projects to help meet large energy needs, like for University Hospitals.
Many Worlds Collide for David Deming, Inner Circle and Putnam CollectionSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 10/31/2007 - 23:38.
The Friends of Art, CWRU staff and the John and Mildred Putnam Sculpture Collection team of Harvey Buchanan and Evelyn Kiefer picked the perfect time and day to hold a reception celebrating the addition of work #45 to the world-class Putnam Sculpture Collection, at University Circle, as David Deming's "Inner Circle" is a work of art that changes dramatically with light in the environment, and sunset is an especially beautiful time to view this work.

HVAC CONDENSORS EVAPORATING IN NEO ("anecdote" #3 for J. Murray)Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 10/30/2007 - 17:53.
Inner Circle has Multiple Meanings, Around University CircleSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 10/29/2007 - 12:15.
University Circle is a community of overlapping circles of interdependent institutions, boards, patrons and public interests that in some way touch every life in the NEO universe, worldwide (well illustrated by the current Cleveland Orchestra tour of Europe). So thoughts of "Inner Circles" within this star-power constellation bring illusions of grand people and designs. So true, as the latest "Inner Circle" added to University Circle is a very sharp and strong sculpture by Cleveland Institute of Art President David Deming, commissioned by the Putnam Sculpture Collection, of Case Western Reserve University... a great collision of worlds.

Right next to Battery Park is the old Detroit neighborhood where there are numerous vacant houses.

Star Neighborhood Development is rapidly nearing completion of the first phase of historic renovation and greening of "the finest house on Roxbury" - interior above - a wonderfully designed and constructed, classic 3,000+ square-foot 1906 American Tudor home, in a transitional urban historic neighborhood of East Cleveland, a transitional city bordering dynamic University Circle and Cleveland Heights.
Follow The Money... who decides which brownfields are cleaned?Submitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 20:47.
There are many big industrial sites around Cleveland I pass regularly - some are active brownfields, like the Flats, and some are abandoned. Some feature Cleveland Landbank signs and are in stages of redevelopment... the one featured here is on the West Side of Cleveland, at Bishop Road and Madison, by W. 117, and the city has clearly spent $millions clearing up this huge property of many acres.
HEDGE FUND MANAGERS & ED'S FUNGIBLE METALS (for J. Murray)Submitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 20:30.

VISCERAL BUSINESSES - THE GUTS OF OUR ECONOMYSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 21:20.
So when I walked by Joe, at the door taking a breather, asked..."you from Boston?" Well, I had visited Boston (and I had spaced that the Indians were up against them just then) - so I thought the guy was able to see into the future. Stable on my feet, I walked into the All State Barber College, and l felt that HERE was the healthy, real economic future.
My MasumiSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 10/21/2007 - 12:54.
Could it be just over a year since Masumi Hayashi and John Jackson were killed by a senseless psycho ...? As the senseless killing escalates all around NEO today, it is easy for the dead to become forgotten by so many they touched in many ways, in life... or lost to all. Where NEO has seen a community that remembers is those who love the arts, as the past year has seen many shows of love and respect for Masumi and John, the most recent being a wonderful exhibition that opened last week at Doubting Thomas Gallery, called To Masumi. A collection of special works by many who love and remember Masumi, this is a powerful statement on what lasts and matters in life and beyond. Props to the organizers of this exhibition and to Doubting Thomas - really fantastic... amazing musicians performing in the front Gallery, Michael Doc Dreyfuss and Bill Weita... haunting yet alive... see today's header... image below...
CLEVELAND MIRAGESubmitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 10/17/2007 - 23:13.
I walked out on the Lorain Street Bridge with one photo in mind (red socks hanging out to dry - I’ll get that photo blogged tomorrow) - and then up the bridge slope comes a fellow with no legs powering his wheel chair with his arms. The afternoon was warm and the sun intensely bright. I began to get a head ache behind my right eye. Cleveland’s central city rose starkly over a Vermont like grove of golding trees.
BEGGARS IN CLEVELAND?Submitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 10/17/2007 - 12:03.
There's a new sidewalk sign in Public Square (and elsewhere downtown). Another sign that our society is dismantling itself into them and us.

BANKS ARE YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS - BUT THEY DON'T LIVE THERE - CALLAHAN'S CLEVELAND DIARYSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 10/15/2007 - 16:25.
Bill Callahan, a private concerned citizen (where’s the County in this expose?), has taken a keen, focused interest in minding the "sub-prime" statistics.
SEARCHING FOR CLEVELAND'S SOULSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 10/15/2007 - 10:20.
About a month ago a hapless judge in Cleveland, under intense pressure from a community posse, sentenced two young men to 2000 hours of community service (no affirmation intended/rebutted re: Planetizen viewpoint) to be served over 5 years.

Saturday AM at the bus stop - probably after a night's work in the neighborhood near CCC.
PAY TO EAT BREAKFAST WITH FRED THE FIXERSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 10/11/2007 - 15:57.
This is what's wrong with Neo,- (NOTE: 1.1.13 CSU has changed the link - now it goes to a Jackson pc, not eggs with the Fixer - sorry) we keep wearing the painful shoe which has nails which bloody our soles. >Fred foisted the dog Brown stadium on the ratepayers and through Squire Sanders billed the City over half a million to put the City in bond debt for a annually empty facility which will continue to pull Cleveland down financially for decades.

University Circle Cancer Moving Down East Boulevard... Is there an Urban Planner in the House?Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 10/05/2007 - 23:59.
The last two realneo headers are pans of a site I pass often, on my way between the East and West sides, which is bounded by East 105, Wade Park and East Boulevard, in one of the most important historic and cultural neighborhoods in America, where I was shocked to find a group of significant apartment buildings being demolished.
