August 27, 20195 yr How Cleveland became center of Content Marketing World Today 5:00 AM By Mary Kilpatrick, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio — Content marketing reimagines the relationship between companies and their customers. And each September, Cleveland becomes the center of the booming industry — an orange-hued hub of learning, networking and fun — during Content Marketing World, the largest recurring business-to-business event in Cleveland. The 9th annual conference, Sept. 3-6 at Cleveland’s Huntington Convention Center, is expected to generate about $3 million in economic impact, with attendees from at least 49 countries. Top national brands like Marriott, Microsoft, Dell and Walmart send talent. Big names like Tina Fey, William Shatner and, this year, Mindy Kaling give the keynote. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2019/08/how-cleveland-became-center-of-content-marketing-world.html

THE LEVIN COLLEGE FORUM - CSU LEGACY CITIES: CONTINUITY AND CHANGE AMID DECLINE AND REVIVAL BOOK RELEASE FORUM TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2019 | 4 - 6 PM Legacy cities, also commonly referred to as shrinking, or post-industrial cities, are places that have experienced sustained population loss and economic contraction. In the United States, legacy cities are those that are largely within the Rust Belt that thrived during the first half of the 20th century. In the second half of the century, these cities declined in economic power and population leaving a legacy of housing stock, warehouse districts, and infrastructure that is ripe for revitalization. This volume explores not only the commonalities across legacy cities in terms of industrial heritage and population decline, but also their differences. Legacy Cities poses the questions: What are the legacies of legacy cities? How do these legacies drive contemporary urban policy, planning and decision-making? And, what are the prospects for the future of these cities? Contributors primarily focus on Cleveland, Ohio, but all Rust Belt cities are discussed. Open to the public and free to attend.

The Birth of Punk in Cleveland, Akron & Kent Date And Time Thu, October 8, 2020 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT Add to Calendar Location: Online Event About this Event You already knew Cleveland was the birthplace of Rock & Roll. There's a sign out front of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that says so. Everyone knows Alan Freed invented the term and hosted the first ever rock concert in Cleveland. But tonight, one local band, Vanity Crash, will tell the story of a whole lot of other local bands that were inventing punk rock right here in Cleveland, Akron & Kent, Ohio, years before you heard it in London or New York. Tonight you'll hear epic tunes by bands like Rocket From The Tombs, Dead Boys, The Pagans, Devo and The Pretenders. And you'll hear some awesome songs by Vanity Crash. Plus some artists that influenced all of us, like Iggy Pop, The Zombies, T. Rex and David Bowie. Many of them are enshrined in the Rock Hall, and many of them will never be. But we'll promise you this: tonight you'll hear the music that influenced generations. Featuring rare video and exclusive interviews with the artists who were there, presenter Thomas Mulready lays it out for you, one fascinating chapter after the other. Tonight's show focuses on Cleveland, Akron & Kent's seminal role in the early development of punk, with influences that extend around the globe and reverberate today. Get there early for the livestream and don't blink. You won't want to miss a beat. tix:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-birth-of-punk-in-cleveland-akron-kent-tickets-119378192387 much more info:https://coolcleveland.com/2020/09/the-birth-of-punk-in-cleveland-akron-kent/ Edited September 22, 20204 yr by mrnyc

I just watched a youtube video of AJR's performance (of course I have no idea who any of these people are since I'm old), and I really tried, I did, to understand their appeal. It was hard to get past this group's antics and histrionics and concentrate on their "talent." Likewise, an 18-year old Canadian singer by the name of Tate McRae was getting a lot of cheers from her crowd of similarly aged young women, which at least served to distract from her completely mediocre singing. I don't understand how these people gained such large followings. How much were the tickets for this?? Like I said, I'm old lol http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/

I'll try to investigate more of these bands later.

This article makes it seem like quite the show. The initial run will be through February, so there’s time to get reviews before committing. The tickets are pretty expensive ($50 peak times, $40 off peak). CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Immersive Van Gogh, the hotly anticipated interactive art gallery featuring animated versions of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh’s creations, has finally announced its location and opening day in Cleveland. The immersive art experience announced back in April, will take over a warehouse building at 850 E. 72nd St. in Cleveland, now known as “Lighthouse Artspace Cleveland,” beginning Sept. 22. The show has already sold 100,000 tickets so far, according to Corey Ross, a co-producer of Immersive Van Gogh. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
September 2, 20213 yr ^ yeah crazy prices for that van gogh thing, i wonder if it's worth it? maybe?? i actually found out about it here in ny while on a water taxi as i saw an banner ad on the east river on a warehouse building for it that i think it is in. then i saw another ad on i think the building it is in in los angeles too. and so i looked it up and see it's happening in other other cities. i guess they can do multiple places as it's projections. we have had several other 'projection experiences' like this one pop up in empty retail spaces around midtown this summer. i guess why not, if people like them ok -- might be kind of cool though.

I didn't go, but funny review https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/arts/design/van-gogh-immersive-manhattan.html "Like Vincent, I too suffer for my art, and so I attended both of them. If you are committed to trying one out, go to the east side, which has graphics of meaningfully greater sophistication. (Adult tickets range from about $36 to $55 and rise with various fees, supplements and hustles. MoMA is $25, and the Met is pay-what-you-wish for locals.) Whether you attend either or both you should bring a fully charged cameraphone; some might also enjoy a psychedelic supplement, and in fact the east side venue plans to install an absinthe bar later on. Sensuous selfie backdrops come well before intellectual engagement here, so you might as well make the most of it." http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
