Special Guest Post.....Content by: Sol RosalesMy husband used to pay all of our bills by writing checks and mailing them. Finally, I was fed up with the slowness of the mail, so I decided that we needed internet at our house. I went to the library and did an online search for “Internet Adams” and found that we could get satellite internet at our house. After we got it set up, I took over

When you walk into M. Lang Clothing & Cocktails at 1275 Euclid Avenue, right on Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland, you are in for a unique experience! Mike Lang himself greets you with welcoming professional and personalized service. This place exudes the kind of class and quality which hints at the heyday of the grand retail stores along the avenue. The window displays pay homage to an era

If you love to travel, you likely get a rush from the anticipation of going somewhere completely different; submerging yourself in a culture opposite to your own. The thought of leaving behind the world and life you know and entering into another world--And, the moment you step on the plane, you feel free!

I am adamantly opposed to this bottled water nonsense. There was a time when I thought different, believe it or not, as I bought on to the marketing too! But in many cases the bottled water has its own kinds of contaminants, AND the fact it is stored in PLASTIC, which is not only bad for personal health, but for the environment too, as most wind up as litter....

For approximately 12 months now, myself and several other dedicated volunteers came together in the interest of doing what we can to help reduce litter in the city and region--And to plant the seeds of change that can alter the mentalities that produce the litter in the first place. So far, as a result, we have raised the awareness of this issue--and placed it on the radar of several key figures

I hope that since many other casino operations offer entertainment such as live shows, that Cleveland's will create something similar by offering a chance to see some of the older performers like Kenny Loggins, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes... I noticed Kenny was performing at a casino in West Virginia, recently--and in previous years Harold and his Blue Notes were performing in the Poconos.

Despite his structure being in good usable shape.... We can say goodbye!

Noise, excessive or totally unnecessary, loud or not loud is still unwanted sound, by definition--and a major attack on quality of life in neighborhoods across the country and around the world. To date, and what we will talk about today is "boom car noise" from those loud car audio systems. It is a kind of noise that is especially irritating, as low frequency, high decibel and vibration are

Given the current auto-oriented, anti-pedestrian design of a "Welcome Center" for the casino in downtown Cleveland---and considering the already many gaping holes of empty space and parking lots there---these, among other reasons do not justify the demolition of a part of the city's historical fabric for the sake of parking.FOLLOW MY RANT.....While an important part of the project, parking should

I would like to share an article today that someone shared with me. Somehow, it reaffirms an idea I always felt that when society becomes overly-dependent on the mega multi-national corporate and global economy scene, it contributes to crippling communities and their ability to be self-sustaining. As I see it, the reliance also contributes to alienating us from local community connections that we

In the video posted in the link at the end of this banter, it is commendable that President Obama has addressed the issue of oil company subsidy and record profits while so many people struggle to make ends meet--and as vital programs get scrapped in the name of "saving tax payers money"--but sad that he still has to coddle the oil industry by making the comment about being rewarded for their

Gardens Under Glass is an urban agriculture/local foods growing project in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, in what was a former high end retail shopping complex.
