This deserves your non-profit status in the community?  You pay no taxes to support our children?  Shame on the CLINIC.  SHAME.

CNBC - Orchards and vineyards may soon spring from the blight of thousands of abandoned buildings in Cleveland, a city struggling to rise from years of decline and home foreclosures. Once a proud manufacturing powerhouse, Cleveland has lost nearly 10 percent of its population since 2000, the fastest drop of any U.S. city except for hurricane-hit New Orleans.

Now is the time for those who believe Mayor Frank Jackson isn't the Mayor Cleveland Needs. PREPARE. Not for election 2009 but for the next election in 2013.

RTA has decided to cut the services to the most transit-dependent. Not enough money, they say. Can’t you just accept that? What are you crying about?

This is not a summer reading list but a list of reading for anyone who wants to know more about Cleveland, its people - the good and bad - and its history.

Here's the 2009-2010 school supply list for Cleveland Metropolitan School District:

My sister-in-law is studying ESL this summer in Parma, and we happened upon Sittoo's, a "faster food" branch of the Aladdin's Eatery chain, only more affordable.  We've been going there weekly (or more) all summer long and haven't been disappointed!  Full Article.  ---------> more

Mayor Michael White almost helped derail tax abatement in the late 1990s when his brutal attacks to portray Cleveland teachers as greedy backfired.

Can this be catching on? Parma Heights turns down a tax abatement request by Tony George, a political connected guy.

Kate...

 Your remarks sounded more like a backhanded compliment than actual accolades to the neighborhood who worked hard to make a beautiful & colorful green space.

During my term, while some residents were getting 15 year City of Cleveland  tax abatements for building New Houses; I wanted to give something back to our other residents of Ward 14 for their long term investment within our community. It was my objective to promote a plan that benefited the needs of our residents at all levels.

All old leadership of Clark Metro are GONE! It has been gone for well over a year...have any of you even attempted to participate that live in Ward 14 since then? NO! I can tell you, because your names are not on the meeting sign in sheets! 

In April there was an annual meeting to clean the slate, elect an entirely new BOD, and invite community participation. Less than 20 folks out of almost what, 30,000 showed up.

The Best of Cleveland-CLEVELAND ARTS PRIZE WINNERS COLLABORATIVE

Nearly 50 years ago CAP began a tradition of identifying and honoring Cleveland’s outstanding artists on an annual basis. Since then the Arts Prize commissioned an Arts Prize medal, launched a scholarship program and established the tradition of holding an annual awards event to honor the accomplishments of Artists in Northeast Ohio.

Things are so tough in Cleveland, Ohio that the owner of this accordion anti-burglary grate held up with yellow string doesn't have the money to fix it.   Photo on vacant furniture store, Woodland Ave., north of East 55th.

Enough! This is how cities should greet greedy, hands-out corporate interests that want to play one off against the other. Home Depot doesn’t deserve welfare.

Tonight I visited the wall again and made a couple changes. I'd like to whitewall it this week and start fresh...  Despite my opinions and views on the candidates, it's my goal to get these complacent citizens to get involved!!!

After dealing with a few issues tonight from over 10 folks...lit up like the Fourth of July on God Only Knows What....who have NO CLUE as to any of the politics...I guess I find myself wondering what all this passion to make a change is worth?

 I live in what will be the new ward 14 and although I always voted and paid attention to what was going on in my ward (15) I was not one to be overly vocal.
