October 3, 200717 yr Anyone willing to admit they subscribe to O Magazine, or have access to it? There's apparently a very positive story about Cleveland on page 94 of the current issue. Not available online, so it would have to be scanned... It came out about 2 weeks ago in a "place to be" section. Let me see what I can do.

October 3, 200717 yr Holy Cow! When oprah promotes something it sells. Be it butt cream or fictional non- fiction books, it sells. woo hoo!
October 4, 200717 yr Did you hear on the football game? The announcer was liek "We're in beautiful downtown Cleveland. And I'm not joking, this city is being revitalized." I was thinking "Thanks, I guess!" It's like someone walking up to you and saying "Hey, you look great. Not so fat!"
October 4, 200717 yr I read the story when it was posted on NewsNet5. Always good to get an endorsement from Oprah. Did you hear on the football game? The announcer was liek "We're in beautiful downtown Cleveland. And I'm not joking, this city is being revitalized." I was thinking "Thanks, I guess!" It's like someone walking up to you and saying "Hey, you look great. Not so fat!" ^ lol, I know what you mean.
October 4, 200717 yr I want Oprah to put my book on her book club list! :-D clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 4, 200717 yr And I want Oprah to give my commuter train project a million-dollar grant. Too bad neither will happen! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 4, 200717 yr Can we get Ms. Hilton to say the Cleveland is hot?! lol!!! ahh no. We're on a "positive" roll. We don't need a triflin' sleazy ex-convicts worthless endorsement!
October 4, 200717 yr What we need is a Lindsay Lohan fender bender on Euclid to get the celebrity buzz going!

October 4, 200717 yr Awesome - congrats on getting published in such a high-profile book! :clap: Did you approach them, or did they contact you? And of course, did you get to talk with or meet Oprah? :-D clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
October 4, 200717 yr great stuff! Nice to see a one-pager that hits on some of the more local haunts (Banyan Tree, etc.), in addition to the big boys (Severance, etc.). Thanks for sharing!
October 4, 200717 yr Nice piece, Anne! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 4, 200717 yr Thanks! They approached me, and they wanted the Orchestra featured. I do want you all to know that I did NOT originally start w/the "burning river" lead. I very much did not want that cliche in there. But while my editor and her editor did not need convincing of Cleveland's merits, the boss of them wasn't convinced of our fair city's charms, so we had to add some stuff. Sigh. Thanks for the nice words (and no, Oprah Winfrey has nothing to do w/any of it. I loved seeing someone report somewhere that "Oprah Winfrey loves Cleveland!" That' like saying Rupert Murdoch loves something if a rave comes out in something he owns....) --Anne
October 4, 200717 yr What we need is a Lindsay Lohan fender bender on Euclid to get the celebrity buzz going! Jamie, Jamie, Jamie......I have had such high hopes for you. Maybe I should lower my expectations. :|
