lmcshane's blogEVERYONE thinks it's a great ideaSubmitted by lmcshane on Sat, 06/02/2007 - 07:16.
So declares Bonnie Teeuwen ODOT's returning District 12 chief in this month's AAA Motorist, as she describes the Opportunity Corridor, the proposed highway from East 55th St. to University Circle. Well, count me as one person, who is not everyone. I think the plan stinks. I want to see a return to civilized boulevards in this city. Real tree-lined boulevards. I think that there should be a way to make federal and state funds available to restore our boulevards (to include bikes): East Boulevard, West Boulevard, Martin Luther King Boulevard, Lakeshore Boulevard, Clifton Boulevard..And redesign other thoroughfares that should be boulevards : Chester, Superior, Detroit, Broadway, Harvard-Denison, Miles and Pearl. We need to size down, not up. And, what's the point of the Euclid Corridor, if we are building a parallel corridor for the rich folks?

To spare myself from the ever present, I find refuge in the vicarious adventures of other birders. One of my favorites--Jen Brumfield. Check out her art work.

Man kills 2, turns gun on selfSubmitted by lmcshane on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 16:30.
And does anyone say, where is the spokesperson for the white community? What a ridiculous thing to say, as if there is a spokesperson for the black community or the white community. It is OUR community. It is not an urban or suburban problem. It is OUR problem. We are all living with fear and anger. How do we teach our children to react? How do we define ourselves as adults?

Blood drive alert--Northeast Ohio needs Type-O donorsSubmitted by lmcshane on Thu, 04/19/2007 - 19:35.
I hate to say this but AM radio WTAM reaches more northeast Ohio residents than any blog or the PD. Ask my 65 year old neighbor. At least they put out some important community alerts along with the latest American Idol results:

ART drawsSubmitted by lmcshane on Tue, 04/17/2007 - 11:02.
Norm, your GIMP photos make me tune into RealNEO everyday (and, of course, the interactive flow of ideas and the heady vanity rush that comes with the self-publishing of those ideas). So, what makes a site a portal that draws in viewers? SEE http://www.passportproject.org/ ">Passport Project for an idea.

Child Safety in Cleveland, the Suburbs, anywhere...common senseSubmitted by lmcshane on Sat, 04/14/2007 - 17:53.
I just got back from Estabrook Rec Center in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio (very nice pool, if only it was kept cooler). There has never been much security at the Rec Centers, but I suspect that an incident must have recently occurred, because the "new" policy is to ID anyone over 16 and to require all personal information is submitted. No one ID'd me (because they know me as the PITA who constantly complains about the pool temperature), but would I resent this infringement on my privacy? No--because if it protects kids, it makes sense.

Cutting-edge NeonatologySubmitted by lmcshane on Mon, 04/09/2007 - 07:54.
WORK IN ONE OF THE TOP CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS IN THE COUNTRY. I received a mailer from Merrit Hawkins trying to entice the former owner of my home, a nurse, to move to Texas. Selected by Money magazine as one of the "Top School Districts" in the United States was used as one of four draws. The other three draws: four season weather, arts and culture, clean rivers and lakes for fishing and water sports.

Cleveland's Two-Tier RealitySubmitted by lmcshane on Sun, 04/01/2007 - 10:30.
I was struck by Sam Miller's comment in today's Plain Dealer editorial Come Together: "If you people out in Gates Mills and Pepper Pike and Beachwood and Westlake and Bay Village want to turn your back on this problem, then figure out how you are going to maintain good school systems and get a good price for your house. You are not. You will get caught in the same decline that is overtaking Cleveland now." - Sam Miller

MyMaveSubmitted by lmcshane on Fri, 03/16/2007 - 12:52.
We just got back from Pittsburgh from the beautiful Priory Hotel, visiting my sister and her frenetic family (two hyperactive boys 3 and 5 and her harried husband-hence the hotel stay). Local innkeeper Henry is coming here soon to stay at the Baricelli Inn and visit the Rock Hall. So, not all Pittsburghers have a hard time with us Clevelanders. Visited the Park House in Deutschetown and got raves from an Irish lass from Mayo, too, and also compliments on C-town from a telecommunications expert from Atlanta. Carnegie Mellon students have set up a free site to promote businesses development MyMave.com. Check it out.

Stop whiningSubmitted by lmcshane on Mon, 10/30/2006 - 23:09.
Just want to go on the record for wishing Clevelanders would just start having an attitude. This is a great liveable city. Kudos to the Emerging Cleveland website, Jason Therrien/Thundertech and all the creative minds that just do it and get on with it.

Daily StruggleSubmitted by lmcshane on Mon, 09/04/2006 - 09:02.
So much pain in the world. The swirling hellishness of these past three weeks brings only one realization--Be an agent of creation not destruction. The human condition is torn between these two forces. It is easy to destroy, but not to create. Do not give up. CREATE. ( categories: )
John Jackson Masumi HayashiSubmitted by lmcshane on Mon, 08/21/2006 - 17:33.
I am reposting this because we are going to start having great weather again and that means NOISE in the City. (I also did not know what I was doing here at first so the title thing eluded me). I know that City Council retooled the city ordinances so the police can fine our residents who destroy the peace. Then, I was told by a 2nd district police officer that our judges throw out a lot of these cases as prejudicial. If this is the case, then I want to know the names of these judges. We have a long way to go in terms of civility whether we live in the city or in the suburbs. We are being mechanized and sitting here in front of my computer doesn't help. I don't mind hearing kids laugh and skate board and play in my neighborhood. I just don't want to hear their machines....Rest in peace John and Masumi.
