This has been bantered about but maybe it’s just me…not to my satisfaction - now this article in today’s Scene magazine discusses reducing the number of Council seats for Cleveland wards. Here is a 2005 post about it from Callahan’s Diary
There is a charter review commission now and Bill Callahan is on it. And Vickie [...]
I played softball for a couple of years in school; my Dad was one of the coaches; it was one of the few things we were able to do together (besides going to the hardware store) so it’s a very nice memory.I aspired to be a songwriter (LOL). In the 70s I had composition books [...]
Mayor Jackson’s State of the City Address was yesterday. Jackson unveiled a few ideas for 2008 along with a quote about how to improve our borrowing status: “We’ve had the money we just didn’t have the credit card.” If you want to compare with his 20007 speech, you can read it in it’s entirety here.

I know he lived a glorious long life, but in a world where heroes are few and far between, Viktor Schreckengost was one of mine. A few years back my ex-mother-in-law and I attended a small but fun event honoring the latest Schreckengost exhibit at our Art Museum. He and my MIL knew each other [...]

Cleveland did not make the list of most lucrative neighborhoods although we can find neighborhoods in Cleveland that are doing well, with a sense of place, community and affordability….offset by those that are not. You can read the Forbes Most Lucrative Neighborhoods. There is a discussion about Charlestown, created or opened up by the Big Dig. It’s apparently [...]
The PeeDee article by Thomas Ott (on his blog really) calls our foreclosure issues Cleveland’s version of Hurricane Katrina. It’s not the same in my opinion because the only thing residents of New Orleans did was live in a city that got flooded out. But either way, he does mention some interesting statistics:
