Great News! Walk+Roll Cleveland Is a Go!

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

When I walked in the door just now from gathering signatures for the referendum, this email from Lois Moss was in my inbox asking me to promote this Sunday’s Walk+Roll Cleveland event. It appears as an outreach to the community they are asking for musicians and artists and others to participate in this […]

WOW! The Ingenuity Crew Does “IT” Again!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

What a show!  The Drums drumming down Euclid Avenue led by Marcos Santos were incredible.  Who knew that those drummers would exorcise the “rain demon” that plagued last year’s festival.  A whirlwind flew down Euclid Avenue accompanied by its own drummers of pelting rain.  Canopies flew and people ran but it was gone as quickly as it […]

Lest We Forget

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Each year one of our neighbors, Rick Nicholson, gathers a group of us from the neighborhood together at a small burial ground to commemorate Memorial Day. Amid the hubbub of all of the weekend activities we gather together in this small unobtrusive graveyard surrounded by war veterans dating back as far as the Revoltionary […]

Way Cool!

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Have I just labeled myself a nerd?  Have I dated myself?  Frankly, I don’t care.  I just found something out that I didn’t know, and the first words that popped into my mind to describe it were “WAY COOL” .  In my capacity of main scheduler for Meet.The.Bloggers I am looking for a place in Grandview Heights […]

Another addition to: local business for local consumption

Friday, August 11th, 2006

Just got back from Lake Shore Feed and Seed located at  5112 Clark Avenue which is family-owned and operated.  When I was a kid,  Saturday morning was spent doing the weekly errands with my dad.  One of our stops was the local Gold Star Feed Store which had everything you could imagine for pets and farm […]

#7 of Ten Reasons to Attend Bloggapalooza

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Rain or shine, Bloggapalooza will go on!  Sadly, last night the Ingenuity Festival did not have very good luck with the weather gods, and it blew, and it poured, and lightning lit up the sky, but today and tomorrow look much more promising.  So, please block out some time to venture downtown and take in this […]

What do you do in Cleveland on a Saturday in June?

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

Well, today you could hurry on over to Archwood Avenue in Brooklyn Centre and take in the Archwood Avenue Street sale. Don’t forget to bring some non-perishable food to drop off at Archwood UCC at 2800 Archwood Avenue.

Today is the day for this church’s annual food drive to benefit Brookside Center on Pearl Road.  The […]

building community

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

I have a new page, available also through the sidebar to the right. There are a number of ways we become members of a community, and one of them is by joining organizations and participating in events, or just by hanging out and talking. Some community-building opportunities we have available here in Ward 15, or near it, […]

A Day of Coincidences

Friday, March 3rd, 2006

Tim and I had a full day planned of meeting people. Late last night we decided that we were going to buy an all-day ride pass on the RTA and see if it appeared practical to ride to all of our meetups with various people.

Our first meeting was Tim’s Brooklyn Circle B-to-B Connect meeting […]
