Have you been looking for a place on line, where you can rant about your favorite (or least)favorite) politician, economic plan, the weather et al?  I found a no holds barred blog today: http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/blue%20turtle/1355  The BlueTurtle sports blog somehow got onto tangents about why Cleveland is in such tough shape; who is to blame, and lordy lordy the comments got posted!

Blue Turtle's Blog claims our fair City has lost the title of 'Poorest City In the Nation' and I'm not sure that is true; 'Turtle' says we have dropped to 12th place. He has his own idea about who began all of the City's woes ( I disagree here too but I digress). It just might be a sports blog with a kick to it!  Check it out, and it's easy to make comments as well.  Oh, and in case you are interested, they do show a spot to order tickets. It's a blog affiliated with The Sporting News magazine.

 We had a nice discussion today in our office about the Shoreway redevelopment plans. Remember people (us members of the public) were invited to comment on the five or so complex plans that were being considered?  Don't forget to keep checking with http://www.innerbelt.org to see how plans are developing. Our office discussion centered around a main theme; was the restructuring of the Shoreway area going to be more of a boom for the suburbs like Lakewood and further isolate the downtown area? Or is it good for everyone? This is a key redevelopment plan for us, and worth our discussion time. I'm thinking City Council meets on Mondays at 7pm and if you check out the http://www.innerbelt.org site and have more questions about the plans than you have answers, a visit to our Council might be in order!  Remember, we can still Believe In Cleveland while not giving up our right to comment on plans made that affect all of us -in Cleveland and  Northeast Ohio  in general.
