Hello Quality Followers, it has been quite a while since I posted anything. I just want you to know that word for word, section for section, this site is a disaster that is going to be undergoing a restore. I will link this to Facebook as well as offer an online "talk radio" program. Gadgets and everything else will either be removed or restored. Please give it time and I thank you for your

I submitted this OP-ED to The Plain Dealer Commentary Section.  In a perfect world the idea of "re-connecting" Cleveland's citizens with access to its lakefront--a sentiment often expressed by community leaders, planners and activists--is surely noble and necessary. However, such "reconnection" must also accompany understanding the significance and importance of the lake's bio-integrity. If

Northeast Ohio needs a united regional people ground transportation network which would serve Cleveland/Akron-Canton, Youngstown/Warren. All of these cities are within an hour or so drive from each other--and in the regional sense of thinking, form one tri-metro region of roughly 4 million. However, all are drastically under served in people transportation options when it comes to

Cacaphony, obnoxious, idiotic, excessive, acoustic anarchy, illegal, obscene, intrusive, selfish, arrogant, unnecessary, dangerous, and invasive are some common adjectives which describe the incessant and ongoing fireworks noise that took place near the 4th of July weekend in Warren, Ohio. Celebrations for which the true meaning of the holiday has all but been forgotton in what has become a

I have noticed a seemingly increasing unnecessary and wasteful act in the general public today. It is the increasing tendency to allow vehicles to idle for moments on end. A reason I can overlook an idling vehicle: A hot day where senior citizens with breathing problems are an issue or anyone else with one for that matter where excessive heat may exacerbate a breathing condition. OR, the opposite

Below, is a letter I sent to a reporter, or should I say "repeater" who is one of the thousands who have become a whore to the oil and gas industry: Dear sir, I have worked with stream ecology for many years. The damage to our water from fracking is clear. Why would Dick Cheyney, in '05 push to ram through an energy bill that EXCLUDED the oil and gas industries from the federal clean water

Witnessing the sensational reactions of the mainstream news media as well as all the flags flying at half staff over this so called "Terror In Boston" it seems America just loves to throw pity parties for itself and behave in such a way that suggests our pain is always the worst. This isolated incident in Boston, has been molded into some kind of "attack on America" Immediately following the

To all concerned about litter in the city.... If we can start a "Pick up your Pooch's Poop" campaign downtown to address the issue of our four legged friends leaving their fragrant all- natural calling cards on lawns, in planters and on sidewalks; which is of course a good move -then why can't we examine with equal concern, the impacts of litter waste (including cigarette/cigar butts), which

More of the race to the bottom in America. This time regarding: "Dressing for Downtown" Before I write this story, I have to offer a disclaimer: Some who read  post this may be quick to label me as writing from a self righteous, conservative, or "elitist" position.

As Arbor Day approaches in late April, the appreciation and stewardship of the city's urban  forest canopy is an abomination. The city allows the utility companies--and the tree trimming services which are commissioned--to perform a mutilation trim job on city trees causing them to eventually become weak, die, or need to be totally removed. Such is a waste of money and energy. Worse, is

Regarding the RTA bus driver punching a rider, both individuals involved were wrong. It was inappropriate for the rider to continually provoke the driver. The driver was wrong to lose composure by punching her. An unruly customer should be immediately reported to transit security so that he/she may be escorted off the vehicle. I do not understand why the rider had to continually behave in

Has anyone take notice lately of a phenomenon in storefront/business-front windows that features one of the several styles--but very similar--models of these "OPEN" signs? When I first noticed these signs, I thought they were actually unique until their popularity exploded and has made them every bit as tacky, yet not nearly iconic as the Parma pink lawn flamingo of the late 50's through

After attending the May, 2012 Franklin/Clinton Block Meeting with the featured issue of a variance request by the Harp establishment to host outdoor live music, I have the following comments and thoughts to share and strongly suggest that those who ultimately make a decision on granting a variance, DO NOT do so, for many reasons which will be outlined below. At the meeting, I was not

Admittedly, I will probably not visit the new casino, nor view it as some kind of savior for anything. But having said this, I know many will and I do hope that it can add some positive component to downtown. The renovation of the Higbee Building has brought back an historic gem with new opulence. It appears grand and exudes class. It deserves to be visited by those who will make an effort to

Uhhh...yes, a big problem with most Americans for too long is that they have little if any worldly sense. I mean.... our lifestyles have such a huge, and mostly negative impact on this world and each other, yet we know very little about the world in which we share and impact. As long as we GOT our cheap "STUFF", right? Sure, we want good neighbors living next to us, but we seldom seem to

Please sign the petition in the link following this letter to re-instate ONAC! This is the body of the Federal EPA that regulates noise pollution.

Every once in a while I find local or independently produced products, goods or services noteworthy of showcasing; those which we sometimes just cannot seem to find outside the door.

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.

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....
