A big hat tip to Life in Ohio’s Ed Burghard for these in depth interviews. And to the website itself for it’s user-friendly layout. I wanted to feature this because I’m not sure many of us have the chance to hear (or read, in this case) why companies start, grow and stay here. It’s not [...]

Boston Globe’s Derrick Jackson Weighs In On Passenger Rail
October 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment
Passenger rail ridership IS at a five decade high, and his article, while focused on the eastern seabord to a point, shows why we really could boost our economy by spending money on something useful for a change, like high speed rail. I am praying our own efforts in Ohio don’t get derailed. Why don’t [...]

Remarkably Ingenious and Creative People/Ideas Covered In These Sites About Cleveland
September 27th, 2010 · 2 Comments
Many of us get tired of the mentality in NE Ohio that Tony Robbins would call ‘stuck.’ He’d say, scratch the record every time you wind up showing your NE Ohio persecution complex, or resigned to fail mentality. (You know he would!). These sites keep abreast of what is good and actually happening in our [...]

ODOT Commissioning Study for Phase Two of the 3C Corridor
July 18th, 2010 · No Comments
We are supposed to be about two years away from Phase One being in operation (if the politicians don’t stop fighting, that could be longer of course). Phase Two would connect Detroit/Toledo/Cleveland. There is already service (not high speed but service) from Toledo to Chicago so this phase would help bring the Ohio Hub to [...]

January 19th, 2010 · No Comments
The Daily Beast has identified 75 hard to maneuver highways during commuting hours. They list length of the congestion(by miles), the speed (or lack of) cars can travel during these periods, among other things. I wasn’t very surprised that the Capital Beltway in D.C. was #3. It took me honing a certain mentality to do [...]

Amtrak Departs Early From Cleveland But At Least Now You Can Dine On Board
January 10th, 2010 · No Comments
It’s a start. Dining cars are back on the Lake Shore lines that run through Cleveland. It’s also true that departure time is before 6am (oy) and it will be swell when there are more trips planned. In the meantime, read the PD article about how Amtrak finally added the dining car back to the [...]
