Art of the Day: Mashups by ClevelandSGSSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sat, 05/26/2007 - 22:30.
I recently received an email from ClevelandSGS giving props to realneo, with a link to the ClevelandSGS space on Flickr. I hadn't heard of ClevelandSGS so I checked it out and was awed - it is an amazing assemblage of scanned historic documents and current photos of signage and scenes in Cleveland - a significant community asset in those respects - and a powerful gallery of "Mash-ups" not to be missed. But I still don't know what is ClevelandSGS. Do you? It is the Art of the Day, so read on

Rap and Hip-HopSubmitted by DerekArnold on Fri, 05/25/2007 - 12:52.
One thing that Chuck D addressed while in Akron a couple of days ago is the absence of historical context when it comes to talking about hip-hop. The monicker to describe what is now known as hip-hop was born in 1976 but the spirit that allowed all of its element to come together as an American art form (as American, if not more so, than jazz, the blues or Appalachian folk music) comes from the whole of the experience of Africans and African-Americans.

07.05.18 Header of the Day: "Merging" by Athena TachaSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 05/18/2007 - 17:59.
One of my favorite works of public art in NEO is "Merging", by Athena Tacha, which is a large scale stone and water installation on the campus of Case University, nicely positioned near the Gehry designed Peter B. Lewis Building. The sculpture is part of the Putnam Sculpture Collection, and additional information and other images of this work are found here. This panorama was taken on a beautiful, brisk, sunny spring day, May 18, 2007, from the top of the sculpture.

Please attend these public hearings and support the new zoning ordinance for community gardensSubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 05/16/2007 - 14:15.
Community gardens play an important role in our city and its neighborhoods. They are a source of fresh produce for those who don't have the space at their own residence. Gardening is a great form of exercise. Being in contact with nature and the soil relieves stress. A strong sense on community grows quickly in a shared gardening space. Crime levels drop around community gardens. These are just a few of the reasons to support community gardening.

How many times in the last 10 -15 years I have gotten off the highway at the East 72nd Street exit of the Shoreway and winced at how depressing this mostly post industrial, impoverished landscape looks.

Spring on Queen Street West, Toronto, CASubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 22:12.
Toronto in spring is a romantic place. I discovered this when I spent the afternoon of Sunday April 22 on Queen Street West. I know there are many interesting districts in Toronto, for museums, dining, theater, and shopping, but I had been to Queen Street West before and I already knew that if pressed for time this street had more than enough to offer in the way of dining, arts and culture, and shopping. This was the first time I had experienced spring in Toronto. The last time I was on Queen Street it was mid November and beginning to snow. The sky was grey, it was a damp cold depressing day and outside at least, it wasn't much better than being in Cleveland. Mid-April is a totally different story though; the day was warm and sunny, almost like summer. Thousands of people were out, biking, walking, walking their dogs and children, and patios were open for dining. I started out with several objectives – get some good coffee and chocolate, find some birthday gifts for friends (children and adults), and take in some world class art and fashion.

Combining their loves of music, architecture, and uneducated criticism they have successfully added a new and unrivaled levels of pretension, alienation, and inaccessibility to blogging in an amazingly short period of time.
