The New York Times recently wrote about the “cultural renaissance” in University Circle led by “the refurbished galleries and stunning atrium of the Cleveland Museum of Art”:

By the 1980s, dilapidated Gilded Age mansions had been replaced by, among other buildings, the sprawling Cleveland Clinic, the renowned hospital complex covering 10 city blocks along Euclid Avenue. However, cultural institutions like the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Botanical Garden and Severance Hall, home to the Cleveland Orchestra, remain around the campuslike parkland of Wade Oval.

  3. If that’s supposed to be a link, it doesn’t do squat…just keeps coming back to the same page. And with all the BAD stuff coming out of EAST Cleveland this weekend, the NYT story about the GOOD in Cleveland will make about as much noise as a fart in a hurricane.

    If it’s rotting corpses and serial killers, it’s network news headlines (as it was tonight)…that stuff about “culture blooming”…don’t mean nothin’…not when there are bodies to be dug up and orange jumpsuits to be shown.

    Talk about bad luck and bad timing. Cleveland always gets the crappy end of THOSE sticks. When the Browns go to the Super Bowl, Israel will probably nuke Iran that weekend.
