Shrinking Cities explorations at SPACES, Cleveland Urban Design Center, AJ Roccos and all around our 77 square mile townSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 04/19/2007 - 23:39.
04/20/2007 - 16:30 04/20/2007 - 20:00 Etc/GMT-4 "I think Cleveland is a good place. Inner city is rough, but the outskirts is real beautiful, and great schools there. Plus my family, my mom and my sisters, they're all in Cleveland, so it's easier for me to be there than anywhere else." This quote, from an excellent Free Times interview with Charles "Wish Bone" Scruggs, of Cleveland-roots, Grammy award winning, multi-platinum rap trailblazers Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, sings the woes of a place branded as a "Shrinking City", where even the urban hard-core Thugs chose the 'burbs over the 'hood. The result of such out-migration, and downright defection, as is the case with all the other members of Bone, is the subject of a series of art exhibitions and related events taking place over the next month, all over town... which event sponsor Kent Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative (CUDC) introduces by pointing out: "In 2005, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that Cleveland had lost nearly 20,000 residents in just five years. The city’s population of 458,684 was the lowest in nearly one hundred years." Starting Friday, April 20, 2007, at 4:30 PM, with a lecture at CUDC, explore what it means when a city loses its Bones...

This is a piece about the modern consumer-grade digital camera. What it can do. Amazing piece of equipment. A Panasonic DMC – FZ50 for less than $500. Records to postage stamp size 4 gig SD media card. I have used large format film and 35 mm film cameras all through my years. Today film cameras have nothing on digital. Film cameras are relics. I bought my first Sony Mavica digital in 2001. 2.2 megapixel maximum file size recorded to pocket CDs in the camera. That camera cost $1,000 and worked great – even after I dropped it out of a tree. But now, 6 years later, digital cameras with file capture 5x’s larger (10 megapixel) are available for half the cost of the 2001 camera. That is a success story from the mass production economy. And Moore’s Law is borne out again.

Claes and I were picking up Evelyn at the University Circle Arabica Sunday around 5 and I heard one of my favorite sounds flowing over from my favorite area spot - the Barking Spider - roots jazz. I knew who I would find there... the finest roots jazz musician I know in town, George Foley... so we headed right over. George plays and sings, solo and with many area musicians, in every imaginable combo, all over town, and it is always a fun, uplifting and inspiring experience.

Free screening: THE BERNADETTE CORPORATION, Get Rid of YourselfSubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Tue, 04/10/2007 - 22:12.
04/11/2007 - 18:30 04/11/2007 - 19:30 Etc/GMT-4 The question "Am I possible?" is the beating heart of Get Rid of Yourself, and it echoes throughout Bernadette Corporation's existence on the borders of fashion and art. The group is influenced by Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren, and Jean-Luc Godard. They are also interested in new immigrant cultures surrounding their loft "headquarters" on the Bowery in New York City. Bernadette Corporation's interventionist projects function as a critique of our global culture, which constructs identity through consumption and branding. Location

See map: Google Maps Cycling and Climate Change DebateSubmitted by Kevin Cronin on Mon, 04/09/2007 - 12:12.
I went to a very good talk about climate change and the "Inconvenient Truth" at the Natural History Museum last week. The dialogue was led by local businessman/ environmentalist Jeff Friedman. It occurs to me that cycling can be a stronger part of climate change discussion.
FUTURE VIEW FROM CLEVELAND'S DIKE 14 - WITH FOOT NOTESSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 04/08/2007 - 16:09.
Actually, this is a view from the Peace Bridge which crosses the Niagara River at Buffalo. The view is through my Greyhound window and shows the (8 – count the blades) Clipper turbines on the huge slag piles of the old Bethlehem Steel mill in Lackawanna. Look how high the slag is over the ice on Lake Erie. The turbine towers are over 300 feet tall, so the slag pile is at least 100 feet high - that's the way we used to do it - just dump our debris in the Great Lakes. Cleveland did that too - Burke Lakefront Airport is on the old City dump.

Easter Egg Dye = Toxic Terror?Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Thu, 04/05/2007 - 21:36.
Easter rolls around and you start mixing up heavy duty reactive synthetic dyes using household chemistry like viniger. Safe enough for Paas yet strong enough to stain my counter. Where's a toxicologist when you need one?

Muni Wi-Fi Powers Hope at San Francisco Housing ProjectSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 04/04/2007 - 22:20.
Academic debates about the reality and cost of the so-called digital divide -- and the ability of individuals to fight economic disadvantage with nothing more than a computer and an IP address -- seem to crumble in a place like this. Like water and heat, internet is a clear necessity in the modern world, opening doors to education, employment and engagement. ( categories:
What a difference voters make: State of Ohio Files Suit Against Paint Makers over Public Nuisance of Lead PoisoningSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 04/04/2007 - 13:35.
YES - this is a huge story... the State of Ohio is suing Sherwin Williams and other paint manufacturers over the public nuisance caused by lead paint they sold here over decades... the state is joining five Ohio cities in this battle for our citizens - this case could very well take over the battle for the cities - very exciting times for our down-trodden state. It is exciting to see the new Ohio leadership in action, after so many years of poor performance by past administrations.
