Have come into a lot of lost WRU (including Mather) and CIT stuff in recent years. Here are some interesting scans from a student magazine, the PULSE, capturing student life in 1947 and 1948:

Noticed something interesting when reviewing GaWC global city categorizes, which are pretty legit clarifications of world cities. 2018: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/world2018t.html 2020: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/world2020t.html Cleveland fell TWO spots. Columbus and Cincinnati have moved up.

Nice! She’s lived/ worked in Boston and likes bike lanes. I like her already.

Seriously though, anyone on UO have any insight on who may replace Collier? Planning Director is a such a key position for this new administration.

Not that matter’s much, but 688 Euclid was also perviously retail. The old Taylor’s Department Store: https://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/242
