Hello everyone!
I am still working on a few projects at the same time… All are ongoing activities/projects. For starters, I am still working to get some interest in Pedapod and may acquire one in the nearer future to do a trial run.
Secondly, litter clean-ups at Edgewater to promote more anti-littering environments in Cleveland. I will mention again, if there is ever a campaign needed here to promote anti-littering, now is the time as the problem gets worse in N.E. Ohio. The last few years alone, on highways, alone, for example, the word I received from ODOT has money spent at over 8 million dollars for clean-up—and this is on and along the major highways only. Myself and another are seeing if we can get some kind of power point presentation going to address block clubs and youth groups in the city.
Next up is the project that continues to gain interest. But, we could improve on gaining more sustained effort from artists and volunteers–so–if you are a doer, please contact us! The project is Working on storefront window makeover program. We completed a simple one at Chesterfield and will get Statler done soon and 1104 Prospect. As mentioned earlier, two art themes I have recently proposed are a tribute to Euclid’s grand retail heyday….AND, a cleaner city and shoreline through cleaning up litter… will be art themes/messages featuring some art of the lesser-known fish life of the region, such as Darters, Gar, and Sturgeon. I am seeking out artists who would like to have the opportunity to do this with our direction. So, again, if you’re out there, please contact us!
In other small updates, I soon hope to open a trial cart shop in the Galleria, as part of spin-off of sort with the Gardens Under Glass theme… which will feature a couple of indoor environmentally related eco-products that will help clean indoor air and water. These items will not be available in stores, so it kind of offers a bit of something downtown can have more of an exclusive on. Lastly, This past weekend, I took a group of visitors to the city Saturday while I assisted with the ushering duties at the re-opening of the Observation Deck. All went well and any chance I had, promoted, informed and directed guests around downtown. This was a fun day and the reception of the deck re-opening was very well received as I spoke with many guests. Many were from outer areas and other states.
Along with others, I also obliged doing a short radio stream which is supposed to run on WCPN. There was a representative at the opening there chatting with several people about it. Speaking of radio, if you are a unique, different, crafty and unique Cleveland business looking for well done and written audio ads/streams for your business/website, please contact me personally! The ads are free of charge.
Well, that’s all folks…and please contact me if you’re interested in assisting in any of the above items!
