Two wheel bike Cargo Transporter from Holland

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Thu, 09/29/2011 - 17:35.

If you have ever tried to carry 50 or 100 pounds on a conventional two wheel  bicycle you know that there is no adequate, safe, balanced way to do it.  Moving heavy cargo or more than one passenger on a bike in the United States isn’t happening. 

But we have 550hp Ford Mustangs! which we love! So testosterone!

POLITICAL SABOTAGE OF CLEVELAND OHIO....PAY ATTENTION TO THE POLITICAL GAMES ON YOUR LIVES!

Submitted by ANGELnWard14 on Thu, 09/22/2011 - 12:25.

Well, Cleveland's politicians have used the people at large once again to earn one of the top rankings for the poorest City....interesting.

Our politicians have learned to make huge applications for federal funding allocations based on the idea that our "people" are poor and cannot fend for themselves.... They have stripped the American Spirit of the residents of our city and used them as quotas...

Lorain's got art

Submitted by rnojonson on Fri, 09/16/2011 - 08:05.

It's been a while since I have shared my two cents, almost a year. It has flown by. Been busy though still not working a job. In house home health care of mom-n-law is full time occupation, for now. I did manage to join the new Lorain Arts Council. So in my free time I have been there.

The Lorain Arts Council has been in cahoots with the City of Lorain to stir up people traffic in the downtown area. Lorain does have some big yearly events but has need for smaller venues. We have secured a building and have a gallery. The gallery is called "LAC Gallery 737 and Art Center.
