More Updates Of Ongoing Projects!

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 [...]

The following post was written by a DCA City Advocate. To learn more about the City Advocate Program, please click here.
It has been a while since I posted anything, however, I am not idle! I am working on three projects right now in the hope that something will emerge as a regular [...]

Welcome Flaming Ice Cube To Cleveland!

Hello! I am finally back in Cleveland after three months in Sydney, Australia where I have brought back some wonderful inspiration. I figured I should post an update about earlier mentions of The Flaming Ice Cube so here goes….
When I first invited the owners of Flaming Ice Cube to swing over from Youngstown to have [...]

Storefront Window Displays Artwalk?

As an expanded idea for doing the makeovers on the downtown windows, myself and a few other participants thought it would be a nice idea–once we have enough completed windows, to turn it into a unique kind of art walk in itself with a little card map plotting out the various locations. Such can encourage [...]

There is a new concept in the works tilling in downtown Cleveland that will offer local restaurants, small farmers and community gardeners as well as individuals to grow their own food year round! It is the Gardens Under Glass concept that could transform “The Galleria” into a [...]

Thanks to their help with this idea, it [...]

Cleveland A Great Lakes Cruise Destination? Why Not?

I have recently contacted The Port of Cleveland, The Visitors Bureau and the Great Lakes Cruise Company to get all these groups to entertain the idea of making Cleveland a stop on one of their cruises. The itineraries are fantastic, but surprisingly there is not a Cleveland stop. Maybe if more advocates wrote in support [...]

Storefront Window Display Makovers

In an earlier blog, I wrote about creating better atmosphere with the empty downtown storefront scene with art. Well, currently, I would like to announce that there are several spots already finished and more in the works!
This is such a great thing to do during the interim time a space sets vacant as it makes [...]

Unique New Monthly Event For Downtown Coming Soon!

I am working to promote a new event downtown that will be free to guests.
The event described after this notice may soon be offered at the very underrated Baseball Heritage Museum’s “Radio Museum” in the lower level of the museum in the Colonial Arcade.
Hopefully this will bring more people to this valuable downtown attraction, and [...]

Pictures Are Worth A Thousand Words! — Efforts to Foster a Cleaner Lake Erie

On Saturday, October third, it was a call to arms again as I recruited a handful of caring people to take a bit of time to help do a litter sweep at Edgewater Park. Since it takes only 5 to 7 minutes to reach the park on the West Shoreway, I consider it to be [...]
