Coast Guard Station - disrespected by Cleveland

Coast Guard Station - disrespected by Cleveland

This is the best building in North East Ohio.  

But not one government official gives a damn about it - because no developer can figure out how to make any money off of it - Jacobs tried but left the joint to the city with a million in tax arrears - so it just sits with its roof off (yeah, what happened to that $500,000 contract last spring?).

Ed Hauser took me through it.  

Ed gave a damn.

REALNEO Artist For All Seasons: Julian Stanczak asks 'what does it do to you?'

Julian Stanczak - "Continuous Line + Black" 2005 - Acrylic on board, 28 panels, 16x16 inches each

Happy 81st Birthday, Julian Stanczak... born November 5, 1928. Julian is an originator and continuing master of Op Art - one of the most important and renowned artists ever - and his work is stronger now than ever.

All that is seen without doubt in 116 remarkable paintings exhibited as compositions in Julian's amazing body of expansive, precise, cohesive "Recent Work", now showing at MoCA. Grouped as three colorful masterpieces, and a series of 10 individual black and white expressions, all these paintings stand together as one conclusive, vibrant statement, that life is an amazing experience, as only Julian may know.

Real Coop Energy, Year 2

It is an amazing feeling heating your home with wood. You are able to survive in the harshest of weather, with nothing but mother nature on your side, and no gas bills... and, you may cook and heat water while you heat your environment.

Quite clever, really... invented by cavewomen, I believe.

By Teresa Albano

CLEVELAND - Volunteers are going house to house in this hard-hit city's West Side, getting out the vote for a candidate who they believe will "shake things up" and bring change to a neighborhood pockmarked with abandoned houses and torn up streets.
It is one of the most intriguing of several hot races around the country that will be decided on Tuesday.

The Origins of REALNEO

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 17:40.

October 7, 2009, we began our sixth year of ongoing, expansive, free, open source content management and global knowledge sharing, community building, social networking and collaboration on REALNEO. See posting Number 1, REALNEO Development Plan, from October 7, 2004, here, for links to many source documents from the planning and development of REALNEO, since 2004.

Congratulations to all REALNEO members, from day one to today! We've come a long way, since 2004, and our outcomes run far deeper than is seen on the surface of REALNEO. Six years is an eternity, in the world of social computing - we're about 8 months younger than Facebook, and a paradigm beyond - we are Real Co-op!

unReal NEO Illegal Campaigning Signs Of The Day: Issue 6, in the Heights, and by RTA

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 10/30/2009 - 20:06.

Driving from Cleveland up into the eastern Heights, today, I noticed how different the political signs are in the most affluent part of the Cuyahoga County, compared to in my lowly 'hood... and how illegal. While there are quite a few pro-Issue 6 signs on front lawns of fancy houses, in the lofty Heights, where the pro-Issue 6 signs are most prominent is on public property, from Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights east.

Where is this $180,000 sculpture, who is the artist, why is it located here, how was it selected, who  paid for it, who will maintain it, what does it say, is it successful, does it represent serious problems in unreal NEO, and how may you get it to speak for you, in the future?

Anti Public Health Option Picket at Cleveland Clinic

Anti Public Health Option Picket at Cleveland Clinic

This afternoon at about 3:30 picketers began to arrive on Euclid Avenue opposite the Cleveland Clinic rock rowed reflecting pool.   Mostly middle aged and all white, the apparent message I perceived was "No Public Option".  The Cleveland Clinic Police observed from the corners to the left and right - to make sure the public sidewalk remained unobstructed and passable.

RTA raises fares

RTA  raises fares

Recently Roldo has hammered away at the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority for raising fares and cutting the circulator busses.   The head of the RTA indicated that they needed to save money to make their budget.  

This afternoon, on Payne, behind the Greyhound station, there was a constant queue of about 8 or 10 busses idling - while - I assume - they waited for their schedule to role around on the clock.

Zinnia - please tell me more about color

Zinnia - please tell me more about color

This week these colors are actually out of date here in NEO.  I took the images about 3 weeks ago, and was distracted until now so I didn't get them up on Realneo (Rn) in a timely fashion.   Anyway, here they are as a colorful counterpoint to the dreary stuff - mine included - which has been in the header lately.  These absolutely spectacular flowers grew out of the gound under the Geauga sun.  Rn people - users I know - raised, watered, cut and brought these flowers to my camera.  Very cool.

But how does Mother Nature do this color?
