CLEVELAND ROAD WARRIOR, NATHAN RUTZ, IS ALL SMILES!

 

REALNEO has chronicled the give-away of public parkland WC Reed Field to developer NRP Foster Pointe by then council rep Brian Cummins.  He is engineering a similar give-away in the Stockyards neighborhood.

Please SIGN and put a stop to this madness - residents need their parks.

 The one day I don't bring my camera and I miss photo shoots galore - DAMN.   Saturday in Believeland - CLE was surreal and beautiful.  I needed a swim.

Plan A: had been to swim outside at the City of Brooklyn pool ($9.00 non-resident).  The facility was open, but not the outdoor pool.  Since I was on the granny bike, on to Plan B.

Attention all Red Line Greenway Crew members:

 Public Hearing

Toxic Disposal in Lake Erie

I hear this one, (Fuego) shooting off all the time. www.volcanodiscovery.com/guatemala/fuego.html

It is south of Antigua, while I live north of Antigua, higher up, so I think I am fairly safe, barring the abnormal, which is always possible.

Still, I feel safer here than in Cleveland. This is the first UNESCO Heritage (Colonial) City, and people come here from around the world.

 Alhambra still stands - owner Preferred Builders of Solon owes over $116,000 in back taxes - it could be that CLE doesn't want to be on the hook for the demo costs.   See post by Christopher Busta-Peck, awhile back (2011) - this photo taken 6/27/2014

With the Metroparks takeover of our lakefront parks - more and more of us are awakening to the fact that we have been deprived access to this resource for years.  

A bit late, but I have been recuperating from wonderful visit from my sister, her husband and grand-daughter, where we ate out and shopped, shopped, shopped, which was what they wanted to do. And I have had a string of chronic migraines.

Theoretically - City of Cleveland has ordinance on books that would put electric wires underground - but that is too much work and when old poles rot, well then, CPP will replace, but has issues w/other stuff attached to their poles and this is the result -  GOOD ENOUGH!!

No buildings higher than two stories, streets are cobblestones. McDonald's had to conform, and their restaurant here (more expensive than US I guess, close to $5 for a Big Mac, although it sells as a combo with fries and soft drink.

Simple sign outside.

Inside, the standard counter.

Inside, beauty.

which includes the entire West Coast.

BTW, I am not very near the active volcanoes here.
