MED MART MESS CONTINUES OUR CIVIC SLEAZE (CORRECTED VERSION)

Submitted by Roldo on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 19:10.

A friend wrote me to say she had one drink at an E. 4th new street restaurant. The bill: $13. She questioned it. The server proclaimed, “This is DOWNTOWN.” Downtown? Downtown Manhattan, you mean?

THE JACOBS SHOE DROPS ON MED MART

Submitted by Roldo on Sun, 04/19/2009 - 09:42.

“I would suggest to you that the Mall C site is by far the superior site for several reasons,” writes Jeff Jacobs in an ad today. He didn’t add, “And my dad owns the hotel and parking garage across the street!”

 
Two developers – Ratners & Jacobs – have been playing this game for at least 20 years.
 
Both seek public subsidy for their private businesses.

JEFF JOHNSON - A FUTURE MAYOR?

Submitted by Roldo on Sat, 04/18/2009 - 16:19.

The retirement of Glenville Councilwoman Sabra Pierce Scott should mean a return to city hall of Jeff Johnson. With a bit of humility Johnson becomes a strong future possibility for Mayor of Cleveland.

Submitted by marccanter on Fri, 04/17/2009 - 11:53.

Hey folks

Norm has convinced me that I need to be in town - so I'll be there next week.

We've also setup a test/demo social network - if you want to come on over and join - to show off what we can do.  Easily.

I'm excited as hell.

I've also attached in image I'm using to explain what I call the 'virtuous circle' we're setting up.

This is the annual Archwood Street Fair of renown.* We've been having it for so many years now I have to ask somebody else when it all started--I think it was in 1980-something. Originally, we tried to sell a lot of rehab and restoration items as well as antiques, and that is still the basic purpose. It now also functions as a way for all of us to clean house, so it's taken on aspects of the huge neighborhood garage sale as well. Some of us who don't live on Archwood actually haul our stuff in the night before. The inventory is usually pretty good.
