Downspout Diverters - with or without rain barrelsSubmitted by Charles Frost on Thu, 03/29/2007 - 07:42.
|
I found this inexpensive downspout diverter on the web, and have been using a couple of them for a while. It allows me to divert the rainwater onto my yard, but in the "closed" position, it still works as a downspout.... so I don't have to "disconnect" my downspout in order to use my rainwater in my yard (and help keep it out of the overtaxed storm sewer system). Wonderful for those summer thunderstorms, when the yard is so parched. ...............................................................................................................

TOD update from Richard McDougald Enty, Planning Team Leader, Programming & Planning Department, GCRTASubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 03/28/2007 - 17:02.
I received an informative email this afternoon from Richard McDougald Enty, Planning Team Leader, Programming & Planning Department, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, about some of their Transit Oriented Development initiatives and vision. It is very exciting to see this as an active subject for discussion and planning here. I am a strong supporter of Transit Oriented Development and consider it the core foundation on which we should rebuild the City of Cleveland and surrounding suburbs. Here is the vision from RTA: ( categories:

REALNEO to be featured on WVIZ Applause, premiering this Thursday, March 29, 2007Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 03/25/2007 - 12:33.
I was quite honored to be contacted, a few weeks ago, by the producer of one of my favorite television programs, Dee Perry's "Applause", asking for information about REALNEO. Seems he was doing research on the spectacular Convivium 33 Gallery, which we have featured extensively on REALNEO, covering Christopher Pekoc here and Clarence Van Duzer here (photos from which were featured in Cleveland Magazine), so REALNEO came up in search results. The producer saw REALNEO as in interesting source of insight on arts and culture in NEO and suggested to his staff doing a segment on Applause about REALNEO. Even though we scheduled the interview, this seemed very abstract until I just saw a promotion on WVIZ for the show, featuring a scrolling view of the REALNEO home page.

Organic Juice Sails Ahead ;-)Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 18:53.
A snippet from Palm Beach Post on organic juice sales. Though I consume it in tandem with organic milk, organic juice availability just has not kept pace. Looks like they finally are waking up in the Orange belt. Tropica (worlds largest juice guru) only got into the game this Feb. See how behind the ball the big boys can be. Looks like it wont be much longer now. I wonder what is next?

Crain's Reports "Port study completion docked until summer" - whose study is this?Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 03/12/2007 - 15:58.
In what is more of a PR blurb than news article, Crain's Business today reported that "Port study completion docked until summer". As I recall, there had been plans for Cuyahoga County to fund a port study, for $100,000, and the Port was planning their own study, so I am curious which this is. More important, I wonder why the new director would choose to delay gaining professional, independent insight to help him "evaluate the port and its operations"... I'll be interested in Ed Hauser's take on this, which I'll post here shortly. "Cinco De Mayo Migration" at Dike 14 Nature PreserveSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 03/08/2007 - 23:19.

See map: Google Maps Those who know NEO know "ITS A NEW DAY IN EAST CLEVELAND"Submitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 03/07/2007 - 01:09.
As a core group of innovative urban planners and developers move forward creating a new way in East Cleveland, it is exciting to look back along the main street that brought us to today, and that will take so many deserving citizens past those with little insight who have driven so much of this region into poverty. Looking back, and forward, here is a powerful set of perspectives from CIA graduate and Kent Urban Design graduate student Joe Stanley, of NEO Main Street, from two years ago, under a former administration. Now, under Mayor Brewer and his staff, redevelopment of this community is underway - thanks for your vision and keeping the faith, Joe! "ITS A NEW DAY IN EAST CLEVELAND"

What's going on - this lawn looks like it has measles – how come there are some areas where the snow has melted, and other areas where the snow hasn’t melted? I took this shot yesterday AM. Salt has nothing to do with the melted areas...

I just uploaded the latest in a series of ultra-low-rez pollution centric "shock and awe" videos.

SPRAWL ANTIDOTE - TRANSIT ORIENTED DESIGN AT LEVIN COLLEGE, CSUSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 02/24/2007 - 00:35.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority on Thursday, February 22, 2007 sponsored a free presentation and discussion at the Maxine Levin College of Urban Affairs at CSU. This presentation is another accomplishment in the Levin College’s public engagement efforts. While Case used to benefit from the PR of such fora at the Weatherhead Regional Economics Institute (REI), the termination of the REI programs by Case has CSU now benefiting from the hundreds of citizens attending the Levin College presentations.

CIA brings hip headline act to Archifest Cleveland 2010 - hard acts to followSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 02/17/2007 - 15:08.
In what represents significant progress with a very positive trend, the Cleveland Institute of Art has announced their selection of one of the world's most respected hip young architecture firms, MVRDV, to design the new campus for CIA. Based out of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the new CIA design will be MVRDV's first work in North America. Add this to the selection by MOCA of Foreign Office Architects of London, for their new museum and we have two of the hot creative properties in the world focusing their best efforts on two of NEO's most important institutions and design projects, both located within strolling distance in the University Circle redevelopment area called "The Triangle."
Mayor Brewer Meets the Bloggers for an open pre-state-of-the-city 2007 discussionSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 02/17/2007 - 02:53.
For the second consecutive year, East Cleveland Mayor Brewer met with Meet the Bloggers today for a very candid and fascinating discussion recorded on audio for Meet the Bloggers podcast, and on video for other Internet release in the future. I was pleased to participate and found the discussion and Mayor Brewer's insights remarkable. I believe the other participants agreed. I'll post a comment here when the podcast is posted on Meet the Bloggers and you should be certain to listen! For now, some thoughts from this morning...
