April 10, 201213 yr I just got Patricia heaton to retweet the post to vote for Cleveland...for whatever that is worth...it goes out to 75,000 people.
April 10, 201213 yr I tried getting some people but now we are going down quickly :(. Wonder what gave them a big push at the end here.
April 10, 201213 yr Also if you vote from a different browser it will let you vote again from the same computer. I had chrome, firefox and IE and it let me vote from each one.
April 10, 201213 yr Michael Symon is trying to rally people but I think it might be too late. https://twitter.com/#!/chefsymon
April 10, 201213 yr All it takes is 1 of the major news stations to mention this on the 7 o'clock news to turn this around. Or does anyone know any sites to post on to get some help from Columbus, Akron, Toledo, etc?
April 10, 201213 yr cleveland.com FINALLY gets it up. Gosh i hate them. May be too late...they needed to have it up during lunch at work.
April 10, 201213 yr COME ON Cleveland Fans - VOTE us up here - we only have until 8:00PM on Tuesday, April 4th: https://apps.facebook.com/offerpop/Participate.psp?c=101422&u=24237&a=153839431317646&p=116634895018479&rest=0
April 11, 201213 yr Yup... too bad... but I have to say it was much closer than I thought it would be
April 11, 201213 yr As I've said before, for a city/region our size, our social media usage is very small. But our local media not jumping on the bandwagon was a major dropped ball. Although Cleveland+ did post and tweet about this, our news papers, radio stations and tv outlets did nothing. #FAIL
April 30, 201213 yr Were any of you with me at the Cleveland Tweed Ride this weekend?? The rain let up just in time for the ride at 3pm. Rode from Mall A around the city and stopped at East 4th for a tea party at Erie Island and at Happy Dog for hot dogs and some beers. Met some great people and had a blast! Pics from the event here: https://www.facebook.com/TheFantasticClevelandTweedRide
April 30, 201213 yr confiteordeo and i are in the back row of the cover photo, immediately to the right of the gap. i'm the taller one.
April 30, 201213 yr I knew there'd be UOers there! I'm to the left of the gap and one row down in the white-collared shirt and gray jacket.
May 1, 201213 yr Quick add: May 6: Lakewood Spring Stroll http://www.cleveland.com/lakewood/index.ssf/2012/04/downtown_lakewood_will_play_ho.html
May 2, 201213 yr Just a reminder that the Cowan Pottery Symposium is this weekend at the Rocky River Public Library: Saturday, May 5, 2012. This program should appeal to those interested in art, art history, art pottery, and Cleveland history. www.cowanpottery.org.
May 9, 201213 yr Awesome for the Lakefront: Cleveland's Ingenuityfest to move this year to warehouses and lakefront Published: Tuesday, May 08, 2012, 5:55 PM Updated: Tuesday, May 08, 2012, 6:06 PM Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer By Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer Ingenuityfest is on the move again. The 2012 Cleveland Festival of Art and Technology is set for Friday, Sept. 14, through Sunday, Sept. 16, at docks 32 and 30 north of Cleveland Browns Stadium and the Great Lakes Science Center. The festival, which was presented in 2010 and 2011 on the lower level of the Veterans Memorial (Detroit-Superior) Bridge, will be held in two large warehouses and on the lakefront. The new location is a result of a collaboration among the festival, the city of Cleveland and the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority. http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2012/05/clevelands_ingenuityfest_to_mo.html
May 9, 201213 yr Awesome for the Lakefront: Cleveland's Ingenuityfest to move this year to warehouses and lakefront http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2012/05/clevelands_ingenuityfest_to_mo.html Good move. I like how they shift locations, it keeps things interesting and helps to show off the many dimensions (and the great potential) of downtown.
May 9, 201213 yr ^ Agreed! Last year I felt the bridge lost its wow factor or its new experience. Idk, last year just seemed kind of boring to me, while I love the first year under the bridge. Glad they are mixing it up.
May 10, 201213 yr So is KJP leading this?? May 12: Midwest Railway Preservation Society tour (Downtown) http://www.cleveland.com/sun/all/index.ssf/2012/05/tour_railway_roundhouse_at_may.html
May 13, 201213 yr Thought it would be fun for everyone to list their top 5 favorite Cleveland festivals. You have a lot to choose from. Winterfest, Hessler Street Fair, Feast of Assumption, Ingenuity Fest, Taste of Tremont, Clifton Arts and Music Fest, City Hop, Parade the Circle, and many more. So what are your top 5?
May 13, 201213 yr In no particular order: Burning River Ingenuity Hessler Winterfest Weapons of Mass Creation (believe me, this will get big) http://wmcfest.com/
May 13, 201213 yr 1) Feast of the Assumption (Little Italy) 2) St. Patrick's Day Parade (Downtown) 3) Cleveland Museum of Art Summer Solstice Party (University Circle) 4) Cleveland Orchestra free Public Square concert (Downtown) 5) Sparx City Hop Honorable Mention: Parade the Circle
May 13, 201213 yr In no particular order: Feast of Assumption Hessler Street Fair Winterfest Ingenuity City Hop (In 2009) This year im really trying to get to more festivals than in the past, so maybe this list will change.
May 13, 201213 yr Good list Murray Hill. St Patricks day slipped my mind. Im already rethinking my list... Ha!
May 13, 201213 yr Feast of Assumption (because I'm a wanna-be Italian) Clifton Arts and Music Fest (because I can walk to it) Ingenuity (probably the most interesting because it's more than just a bunch of art galleries on parade) The Hooley (big Irish party held just yesterday at Kamm's Corners!) Sparx (for the sheer size of it) "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 13, 201213 yr City hop was really good the year that Taste of Tremont was the same day. I had my grandparents go and they loved it, and really enjoyed Tremont. The next year they were disappointed when they got to Tremont and there was just some civil war thing going on.
May 13, 201213 yr How could have anyone forgot: the Cleveland Film Festival ?! :cry: (yes, it's indoors, but still a festival!) Ingenuity Burning River Hessler Street Fair CMJ Music fest [RIP] Slightly offtopic, but what exactly was the BP Riverfest ? From what I gathered, it was some festival in the flats in the early-mid 90s ? How long it did last for ? What was done there ? Main Sponsors/Funders ? What was the atmosphere ? What led to its demise ?
May 14, 201213 yr Updates into June now...we're in full festival season now! More updates when I get time.
May 15, 201213 yr Can anyone confirm if the Asiatown Festival is happening this weekend?? Their website still has not been updated: May 19-20: Asiatown Cleveland Festival http://www.asiatowncleveland.com/
May 15, 201213 yr So is KJP leading this?? May 12: Midwest Railway Preservation Society tour (Downtown) http://www.cleveland.com/sun/all/index.ssf/2012/05/tour_railway_roundhouse_at_may.html No, I'm not involved with them or any historical groups. Their events were part of National Train Day, which has railroad-themed events held throughout the country. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 16, 201213 yr There are a lot of Cleveland fests I love, but I'll go with these for my top five (no particular order) based on my experiences...

May 16, 201213 yr There are some things above that aren't really festivals, but events. Not sure what the criteria is? The Greek festivals are far and away my favorites. Annunciation in Tremont, St. Demetrios in Rocky River, St. Paul's in Broadview. I would go Feast of the Assumption and Hessler Street Fair for my other 2.
May 16, 201213 yr In no particular order: Ingenuity Festival Film Festival Larchmere Porchfest Cleveland Asian Festival (this weekend!!!) Circlefest But cannot forget about Hessler Street Fair, Studio-A-Rama, Brite Winter Fest, Clifton Arts and Music Fest, Burning River
