Reasons to be thankful...

Recently, Charles Michener, NEO's favorite prodigal son, raconteur and bon vivant, penned an ode to living in NEO, which was published in the Plain Dealer.
Today, I have to give thanks for the fact that I live in a community that allows me to appreciate the magic of the seasons without ever having to get into an infernal machine--to enjoy the stillness of a snowy night.

Trying to be happy in F%$# up CLE
Even, ever CLE-optimist, promoter and raconteur Charles Michener gets the treatment... at the PD:

Around noon today in response to a comment by Thomas Fladung of the Plain Dealer (below), I posted a lengthy comment on what I felt was missing in Steve Litt's report this morning on events that led to David Franklin's resignation. It was published and several friends emailed me to say they'd read it and appreciated its thoughtfulness. The post has now been mysteriously removed.
Why?

Mr. Charles Michener getting a taste of the RealCle
Why anyone would post anything at the Dirty Dealer web site - or write to the Dirty Dealer - is beyond me.
For years we have all been aware that the Dealer plays dirty...removing unpleasant comments which don't comport with the Dealer's deals with the Greater Cleveland Partnership, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Forest City & folks, Cleveland Foudation, Cleveland Clinic/University Circle OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR LIES, etc, etc.
For Mr. Michener, the Dirty Dealer's removal of Michener's probing comments - regarding the manner in which the Cleveland Museum of Art manuevered the Mr. Franklin disaster - should be a healthy wake up call for Mr. Michener.
Wake UP Cleveland, the Dirty Dealer is malevolent and is a major facilitator of Cleveland's continued demise.
OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR? Mr. Egger?
And Steve, are you a PR prostitute or a reporter?
Not so Warm and Fuzzy in Cleveland anymore, eh Charles?
