August 19, 20222 yr it looks like ne ohio will be getting a direct hit and a lot of tourists from the upcoming great american eclipse of 2024: 14. Cleveland, Ohio With a metro population of more than 2 million, this city will host a multitude of eclipse chasers. Get there a couple of days early, and fill the waiting time with visits to some of Cleveland’s highlights, including the Cleveland Museum of Arts and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

August 23, 20222 yr Saw this video of a family from out of town just walking thru downtown and having a great time. Someone posted an article recently that included Cleveland as having a dead downtown. I saw that article last week and didn't post it because it's a load of crap. You can include just about every city in that poll. Yes it's been a tough recovery but we will be fine. It's clickbate to include Cleveland in a poll, the media loves to come after us. You think NY or Philly gives an f about what ppl think about them. Let's not be so sensitive. Anyway watch the whole video.
August 23, 20222 yr Thank you so much for the video link. Great to see all those people on 4th St. and Prospect. The most interesting thing I noticed was none of those people wearing some kind of Guardians apparel which means they weren't there for a game. They were there just enjoying downtown for itself.

August 25, 20222 yr Downtown is noticeably closer to pre-pandemic levels even without sports. Houses are still selling for way over asking in popular neighborhoods. Jobs are still open. Companies are still hiring. The city is actually making progress on internal infrastructure and making decisions that have been held off for so long– Cleveland is doing just fine.

August 28, 20222 yr TV coverage of the WTA tounament at Jacobs Pavilion was good from a civic point of view. Cleveland looked great and the announcers spoke well of their almost full week in town. The crowd looked to be fairly up-market (slim and well-dressed). Unfortunately a handsome roaming drone shot of the flats/dowtown area was quickly covered by a text overlay for the rest of its screentime. The quality of play (Samsonova over Sasovich in two sets) was high and everybody (players, WTA management, and the Cleveland promoters) said the tournament would return in 2023.

September 7, 20222 yr Forbes' vicious cycle of love-hate for CLE continues. Cleveland: The Next Venice? Chadd Scott Sep 5, 2022 Could Cleveland, Ohio become the next Venice, Italy? Before scoffing at the idea, consider this. “In 1894, Venice, which these days we think of as a tourist location, a sparkling jewel on the Adriatic, was down at the heels–failed port city, a backwater of Europe, looking for a purpose,” Fred Bidwell, Executive Director for FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art, told Forbes.com. “They needed to do something to rebuild and reimagine what that city meant and that was the origin of the Venice Biennale.” The Venice Biennale is the longest running, most prestigious art event in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world visit every other year to experience art-filled pavilions curated by participating countries and the galaxy of ancillary programs which its popularity has spawned. “That idea of a World's Fair of art changed Venice from being a has-been city to a really important destination,” Bidwell said. “That's my dream for Cleveland.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/chaddscott/2022/09/05/cleveland-the-next-venice/?sh=81c0ac76b175&fbclid=IwAR1ssfpd9TwJCTQhEnaNN2sg8oyk9gl42BwxZVbzIwTGuf2LRJQYbgXTnAI

September 22, 20222 yr umm hmm ... 👍 Books Reviews Some Sisterhood for Any Woman Attempting To Go It Alone Immy Humes’s The Only Woman is a deeply satisfying array of women scientists, artists, writers, medical students, politicians, and even criminals, all pictured among their fellows. by Sarah Rose Sharp19 hours ago From Smurfette to Kamala Harris, the legacy of the “only woman” is as long and varied as the course of human history that has sought to marginalize female participation in institutions — or at least restrict it to the bare minimum. A new book by Immy Humes, The Only Woman (Phaidon 2022), catalogs 100 of these only women, spotted variously in group photos across a range of male-dominated environments. *** Some groups are small, nearly familial — like Dorothy Parker and her Vicious Circle of New York intelligentsia. Other times, the group shot is so large, it’s difficult to find the woman among them (helpfully, Alice Chalifoux, is the lone woman and the harpist for the symphony orchestra of Cleveland, so one can look for the harp). more: https://hyperallergic.com/751196/immy-humes-the-only-woman-review/ where's waldo? the cleveland orchestra's alice chalifoux goes it alone in 1946 alice chalifoux (1908-2008) teaching in maine in 2000

September 29, 20222 yr So the Youtube algorithm suggested some Cleveland videos from J Pilipino. After watching a couple, I have to say that she makes Cleveland look awesome. Without intending to, she shows off Cleveland's awesome architecture and food scene. It always seems like the non-natives understand what Cleveland really has even if some of the locals don't. Anyway, enjoy.

October 4, 20222 yr ^ i saw that. in other current literary news -- the nytimes bookclub is currently reading toni morrison's jazz if anyone wants to jump in: T BOOK CLUB We’re Reading Toni Morrison’s ‘Jazz’ Join T Magazine and poet Morgan Parker for a virtual conversation on Oct. 27. Next up in our T Book Club series is Toni Morrison’s “Jazz” (1992), which opens with a brief account of a love triangle that has just played out in 1920s Harlem. Joe Trace, a cosmetics salesman, was having an affair with Dorcas, an 18-year-old. When it went sour, he shot and killed her, leaving him; his wife, Violet; and others in their orbit to learn to live with their grief. From there, the narrator takes us back — to the beginnings of the intrigue, to Joe and Violet’s early years in New York and their previous lives in Virginia — moving from character to character and producing a lyrical portrait of the “City,” as it is called throughout; of Black life and of the mystery of love. Start reading today, and join the poet Morgan Parker and Kate Guadagnino, a T contributor, for a virtual conversation about the novel on Oct. 27.
October 16, 20222 yr the hunt in the nytimes flees to the cle: THE HUNT Leaving New York for Cleveland? Here’s How Far Their Money Went. By Debra KaminOct. 13, 2022 When a plum job beckoned from Northeast Ohio, a New York couple were able to search for four-bedroom houses under $600,000 in the leafy suburbs of Cleveland. Here’s where they landed. Until Cleveland called, Sarah Scaturro thought she had it all. Ms. Scaturro had a plum position at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She was renting a parlor-floor apartment in a brownstone in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. And she was a year into a blossoming relationship with a fellow art enthusiast, Chris McGlinchey, a former conservationist at the Museum of Modern Art who now works remotely as a consultant. But just as the pandemic was gaining speed in 2020, Ms. Scaturro, who was the head conservator at the Met’s Costume Institute, was offered the role of chief conservator at the world-renowned Cleveland Museum of Art. It was a dream job, but it would mean moving to Northeast Ohio, an unfamiliar area. Mr. McGlinchey had been to Cleveland only once, years before. But the city, with its affordable housing and walkable inner-ring suburbs within a short drive of the Museum of Art, drew her. “People in the museum world know Cleveland, and know the Cleveland Museum of Art’s quality of programming,” said Ms. Scaturro, 46. “I was immensely intrigued, and I just decided to make the jump.” more: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/10/13/realestate/cleveland-ohio-suburbs-houses.html Sarah Scaturro and Chris McGlinchey in front of the Cleveland Museum of Art, where Ms. Scaturro became the chief conservator in 2020 after several years at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Leaving New York for Cleveland wasn’t easy, but looking for homes there was, at least by comparison. “There was no smoke and mirrors,” Mr. McGlinchey said. Daniel Lozada for The New York Times

November 14, 20222 yr Superman’s real love story The origin story of the Man of Steel is well known. As pop culture historian Roy Schwartz noted, “In 1934, at the age of 18, (Joseph) Shuster and classmate Jerome Siegel came up with a revolutionary idea: Superman. He was the first superhero, a concept so unprecedented that, as Siegel detailed in his unpublished memoir, every newspaper syndicate in the US rejected it for being too fantastic for children to relate to.” Shuster described himself as “mild-mannered, wore glasses, was very shy with women” – more Clark Kent than Superman. But as Schwartz wrote, Shuster had a relationship with Helen Louise Cohen, a fellow resident of Cleveland, who might have borne a resemblance to Superman’s eventual wife Lois Lane. Shuster sent her sketches of Superman along with at least one drawing of Cohen, and heartfelt letters in neat script. Ultimately, she broke it off, choosing instead to marry “a dashing officer, later awarded the Legion of Merit and eventually becoming a colonel in the Army’s 88th Infantry Division.” Shuster was too nearsighted to enlist in the military during World War II. Cohen would later tell her sons, as Schwartz noted, that “Shuster was simply too mild-mannered for her.” But she kept his letters and sketches and now the family is sharing them with the world, Schwartz wrote. “The real-life Clark never got his Lois, but his creation continues to woo her more than 80 years later.” https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/13/opinions/five-lessons-midterms-opinion-columns-galant/index.html Edited November 14, 20222 yr by surfohio

But the real question is -- why Ashburn? Why the love for Cleveland from Ashburn?? It's a data center city. So perhaps they're all just ad bots?
