How will the 2010 census define our country? Is it time to change the way we census the United States?

Gerrymandering has and will continue to erode communities in the City of Cleveland core.  Is this all part of a design?  What defining issue should REALNEO focus on in the coming months?

I wish I could put this book in the hands of every American.  

Recently, it became obvious that a great site like http://www.urbanohio.com gets a lot of traffic with comments and lively dialogue on topics that include local politics. 

Why do people feel more comfortable with the forum format rather than commenting to the blog entry format?  Users at REALNEO grasp the blog format more than the forum format, but REALNEO does offer the option : http://realneo.us/node/add/forum

The following workshops have been scheduled to provide information about the ReImagining Cleveland Grant Program:

Dust off your Jean Jacques Rousseau NEO--Google "social contract" Cleveland, and, then, "social contract," Atlanta.

The game here will all start to make sense--after you PLEASE READ:

Atlanta Is MakingWay for New Public Housing, New York Times

Another attempt to spin off REALNEO...only with strings in all the right places...

Norm--Chris reminds me that it took Einstein years of working in obscurity to finally get recognition for his ideas...I suppose you should take the attitude that imitation is the sincerest form of praise, but these spin-offs are just that...spinning...spinning..around and around...to nowhere.

Dear Mr. Calabrese,
I would hope that your agency would attempt to prevent the future bedlam, negative impressions of public transportation and economic loss to the community in terms of late employees etc. associated with the poor public planning evidenced here.

Really--we can and should do better.

Sincerely,
Laura McShane

 During these tough economic times, libraries provide vital information resources--on the flip side, we must evidence fiscal transparency and efficiency.

On Facebook, a local artist poses a good question.  This is an interesting experiment in human behavior and the value of art.  Take a look :)

The Plain Dealer ran this hopeful story about the Montessori High School in University Circle.  I would love to see the financials on this model school.  There is an open house next Tuesday.

Montessori High School, 11025 Magnolia Drive, will hold an open house at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 9. Call 216-421-3033 to RSVP.

How an artist sees the world ...

Just wondering if folks could elaborate on the strengths and weaknesses of these open source content management platforms?

Wordpress has more Facebook fans, so I guess it's the more popular of the two--but is popularity everything?

Once a year, during the brief run of the Cleveland International Film Festival, Cleveland feels like one of the great cities of the world. For a little more than a week the grand space of Tower City is filled with life; diverse crowds of art lovers flow in and out, steadily buzzing with excitement for what they are experiencing. Because it only happens once a year, it is easy to overlook The Cleveland International Film Festival as one of Cleveland's greatest assets.
 

Today, I was fortunate to hear Sandor Katz discuss microorganisms and understanding how communities can determine our overall health.  Sudhir, Jenita, Frank G. and many more were in attendance today, so you will hear many reports.
