After years of decline, Cleveland aims to go green

Submitted by Eternity on Sat, 08/15/2009 - 14:26.

CNBC - Orchards and vineyards may soon spring from the blight of thousands of abandoned buildings in Cleveland, a city struggling to rise from years of decline and home foreclosures. Once a proud manufacturing powerhouse, Cleveland has lost nearly 10 percent of its population since 2000, the fastest drop of any U.S. city except for hurricane-hit New Orleans.

Submitted by jerleen1 on Sat, 08/15/2009 - 00:17.

Over the past two months or so Councilman Cimperman, Traffic Engineer Rob Mavec and Henry have walked the Tremont Neighborhood and documented street signs that for some reason or another have disappeared from their proper post.

A number of these postings were, "no parking from here to the corner," "fifteen minute parking - two hour parking," etc., signs.

Remembering Gibson Guitar legend, Les Paul Gibson (age 94)

Submitted by Eternity on Thu, 08/13/2009 - 13:53.

The Huffington Post - Les Paul, who invented the solid-body electric guitar later wielded by a legion of rock 'n' roll greats, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia. He was 94.

According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side.

As an inventor, Paul also helped bring about the rise of rock 'n' roll with multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the tracks in the finished recording.
