Is A Perfect (Passenger Rail) Storm A Brewin’?

August 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

In the song Aquarius, there is a line that goes ‘when the moon is in the seventh house…and Jupiter, aligns with Mars….’  (are you sorry you can’t hear me singing?)  I keep thinking about that song and wondering if we could finally have the Perfect Storm of support for improved passenger rail. In Ohio,   we [...]

If a Tree Grows In The Forest, Can You Make It Into A House Without Cutting It Down?

August 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

It’s a constant quest (some say obsession) of mine to see if there is a futuristic home building trend that could work here. If you think the Styrofoam homes were a bit odd, well maybe they were. I’m not sure they would add much to the landscape here in NE Ohio. But this idea of [...]

August 28th, 2008 · No Comments

A special election will be held to replace Stephanie Tubbs Jones. The primary date is October 14th if  more than one person files to run. The election itself would be November 18th. At least if you believe WKYC’s website.  But hold on, The PD editors editorialized about this on the same day saying  (and I [...]

Thank Goodness for CSPAN or I’d Never Really Get To See What is Happening At The Convention!

August 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I spent about twenty minutes last night, after the DN Convention coverage was over, trying to find emails for a few of the talking heads. I finally decided 1) it wasn’t worth my effort and 2) they wouldn’t really care what I had to say anyway, they only want to hear themselves talk! It’s not [...]

We like to stay on the cutting edge, (I say ‘we’ meaning you and me lol). Here are two possible future housing trends that just might intrigue you.
 
Popeye seemed to think spinach was the be all end all, and this use of spinach for an exterior skin of the house and to provide energy definitely [...]

Avoiding Mold In Your House

August 26th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Most of us are familiar with using products on our tub surrounds to either keep mold away or get rid of it once it shows up. Mold is one of those creepy crawly things that arrives unannounced and unwelcome. I have a client who got that welcome in a vacant house (I discovered it today). [...]

How Do You Feel About the Tower City Site for The Convention Center & Medical Mart?

August 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

 I was browsing on UrbanOhio Forum today and found this article posted for everyone to see. (Thank you, Ken Pendergast)  There have been a lot of negative editorials and we all have opinions. But it’s pretty impressive that Crain’s Cleveland is coming down so hard on the Tower City site pick for the new Convention [...]

Get On The Scene Reporting From Ohio Daily Blog

August 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I love that Jeff Coryell of Ohio Daily Blog is at the Democratic Convention. Even though it hasn’t officially started yet, his posts can give you a feel for what it’s like to be there. For example, today he chatted with delegates regarding the Biden pick.
And if you Twitter his Twitter monniker is @JeffCoryell. Good [...]

Does It Really Take People From Other Cities to Point Out What Is Good About Cleveland?

August 24th, 2008 · 10 Comments

Remember when Sally Field won the academy award and said ‘you like me, you really like me?’ Two things happened in the last 24 hours that showed me people who are not from here really, really do like Cleveland. I know you know this, and I know I knew this before yesterday, but sometimes I [...]
