Since I haven't had time to listen to Diane Rehm lately, I was pleased to have a friend send me a link to this show with Darrin Nordahl author of Public Produce: The New Urban Agriculture.

One of my favorite all-time albums is Clues by Robert Palmer and I still can not believe that the man is dead.   Robert Palmer made such an impact in my life.  REAL artists do that. 

The appeal case against El Tropical was ruled on yesterday.  The City won the appeal.  El Tropical should be expected to be closed within the next 45-days as there is a 30-day appeal process (for the Ohio Supreme Court – unlikely).  See link below and attachment for ruling.
 

The Ohio Elections Commission through several Advisory Opinions and Rulings has determined that the term "RE-elect" may be used in connection with the term WARD COUNCIL, (AO 99LC-05 see link below).

A previous complaint filed against the Cummins Campaign for the new Ward 14 for one of our first campaign pieces was dismissed because the piece, although using the term RE-elect did not indicate a Ward number, it only referred to the title I currently have, which is Councilman. This is allowable under the Commission's rules.

If you were not a structural engineer, but you had a few eyes, what would you notice about this parking structure which is presently under some type of redo at the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio?

Something to have fun with - I'm happy with the results

The Huffington Post - The parents of a two-year-old girl in Colorado are unable to obtain health insurance for their daughter because the insurer, United Healthcare Golden Rule, claims she is too small.

Well, thank you Pee Dee for the free publicity. Just what independent downtown restaurants needed – two new publicly-subsidized restaurants in the Quicken Arena to draw business away from other restaurants.

Another standing room only session for the Old South Side Community Coalition.  As the Jefferson Library conference room began to fill with members, new and old, TWDC Board member Henry Senyak, Councilman Joe Cimperman, Cleveland Municipal Court Candidate for Judge, Greg Groves and Plain Press reporter Chuck Hoven, the only faces that seemed to be  missing were the TWDC By-Law Committee Representatives.

The Pee Dee has become totally shameless in its promotion of Issue 6 and County “reform.” Totally shameless. News has become propaganda. Again.

I am not clear why the Cleveland Clinic was the chosen spot for these picketers - but America is pretty cool that you can just show up, wave your sign, and be observed.

Dan Gilbert, Cavs owner and seeker of a monopoly casino here, laughed off a question about a felony gambling charge against him at the City Club debate here today. He described it as a minor infraction by an 18-year old.

 Will Tremont West attempt to conduct business on November 11, 2009, before calling quorum as they did with that illigitimate vote at January's annual meeting?  Will the rush to vote on the proposed changes for the by-laws and Articles of Incorporation be another illigitimate (straw poll) pulled out of Tom Cook's hat? - especially since  Councilman Joe Cimperman has declared that even the City's Planning Commission CANNOT CONDUCT BUSINESS AND WILL BE CANCELLED if there are not enough members present to constitute quorum.
