April 7, 201213 yr This is very interesting. I new knew anything about this. Do you know any other buildings than Halle's that he was involved with?
April 7, 201213 yr Working on updates this morning...and dang, Playhouse Square will be rocking this Spring!! Having CPH and CSU join is making this place have events every night.
April 7, 201213 yr OK -- I gotta hit the road! As usual please post more events and I'll add to the master calendar.
April 7, 201213 yr It's my understanding that the pieces sold at prestigious department stores around the country that--like Halle Bros.--catered to the "carriage trade:" Saks in NYC, Gump's in San Francisco, Bullock's in LA. Because of the Great Depression, Cowan Pottery closed in 1931. Guy Cowan was then employed as the chief designer for Syracuse China. Good trivia: when working for Syracuse China, Guy Cowan designed the China service for The Higbee Company's Silver Grille!
April 8, 201213 yr April 28- the Fantastic Cleveland Tweed Ride- https://www.facebook.com/events/287145094682261/
April 9, 201213 yr Dyngus Day! Anyone going? I will try to take some pix. http://clevelanddyngus.com/
April 9, 201213 yr I've been keeping track of the voting for this event ever since I heard about it. Tomorrow (Tuesday April 10th) voting will begin for the Cleveland vs El Paso "Final 4" matchup. Voting begins at noon and ends at 8pm. El Paso garnered over 8,000 votes in their matchup vs Buffalo and the most we've gotten thus far is 3,000 so we will have some work to do. Start spreading the word now and don't forget to vote for Cleveland! http://www.facebook.com/SoMeTourism #SoMeT12 #Cle
April 9, 201213 yr ^you are right, thanks for posting. El Paso has a massive social networking culture apparently. If we can get more votes against them, we'll win it all. I'd recommend emailing, facebooking, as many news outlets and tv stations tonight as possible. Also, major Facebook pages... Pro teams, Rock hall, museums, csu, case, Cleveland clinic, etc
April 10, 201213 yr Reminder -- today is the day! El paso is going all out. Their visitors bereau and even the el paso times are helping. C'mon plain dealer/ Cleveland.com... Where u at???
April 10, 201213 yr Is it possible to "stuff the ballot," the way fans did for Hillis, by using the incognito button on chrome?
April 10, 201213 yr I sent some emails out to the local news affiliates although it was just recently and hopefully I wasn't too late. Please spread the word via Twitter/Facebook if you can!
April 10, 201213 yr Wonder why the Cleveland media is not supporting this at all. We could easily be crushing it right now. El Paso has media support across the board.
April 10, 201213 yr Incognito voting probably won't work, since the ballot is on Facebook - you have to be logged in to vote
April 10, 201213 yr Wonder why the Cleveland media is not supporting this at all. We could easily be crushing it right now. El Paso has media support across the board. It is on the PD's Facebook page and Twitter feed
April 10, 201213 yr Wow we are really close to taking the lead. VOTE! http://apps.facebook.com/offerpop/Participate.psp?c=101422&u=24237&a=153839431317646&p=116634895018479&rest=1
April 10, 201213 yr There's no excuse for us not to. If we just factor in NE Ohio, we smash them in population. This would be an embarrassing loss.
April 10, 201213 yr Told all my friends to vote...told them to think of it as a vote for the Great Lakes region and AGAINST Texas! Cleveland is leading now
April 10, 201213 yr At least newsnet5 is on board... http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/cleveland-needs-your-votes-to-beat-el-paso-as-host-city-of-2012-social-media-tourism-symposium hopefully other media outlets pick up on this very very soon.
April 10, 201213 yr It looks like they are using cookies and not Facebook to track duplicate voting - so you should be able to vote from your work computer and your home computer.
April 10, 201213 yr Local media and Michael Symon are key. Symon has a bagillion followers, and they all seem to love and do what he says.
April 10, 201213 yr Cleveland is leading by about 570 votes! Keep the momentum up. Share the link: https://apps.facebook.com/offerpop/Participate.psp?c=101422&u=24237&a=153839431317646&p=116634895018479&rest=0 This is really exciting!
April 10, 201213 yr Hopefully with a sizeable lead we do not get complacent in the "4th quarter". Also, I apologize for making this thread. I didn't realize there was an older thread for this topic. Mods feel free to merge or do with this thread as you see fit.
April 10, 201213 yr Don't apologize. :) We're up by over 800 now. I'd say it's a good idea to 'push' it again on your various social media towards the very end of the work day. I think we actually have an advantage in terms of time - El Pasans (?) will be driving home at 8 EST, while Clevelanders will mostly be home already. A mention on the evening news would have a big impact.
April 10, 201213 yr Lead is at about 850. Around 3 hours to go. I'm out of avenues to get votes. If you know anyone at media outlets, go after them, try and get tweeted or something.
April 10, 201213 yr It looks like they are using cookies and not Facebook to track duplicate voting - so you should be able to vote from your work computer and your home computer. I was able to vote 3 times using my iphone, google chrome, and explorer.
April 10, 201213 yr We're up by almost 800 now. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 10, 201213 yr Is this a duplicate? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 10, 201213 yr Merge these already! Damnit! LOL OK, mod wanna-be, should I merge this one with the one in Urbanbar or the one in Urbanbar here? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 10, 201213 yr Merge these already! Damnit! LOL OK, mod wanna-be, should I merge this one with the one in Urbanbar or the one in Urbanbar here?
April 10, 201213 yr Keep spreading to everyone you know...we have this...one last push from CLE. Go viral with it on fb and twitter.
