Emerging Cleveland on Popsicle Industries

How does living in a converted loft building that once housed the Tyler Elevator Company's gargantuan turn of the century factory sound? What about viewing cutting edge visual arts and seeing emerging rock bands in what was the nation's first Romanian Orthodox Church? Perhaps you'd be interested in an apartment in a former bible printing factory... Or maybe you're more "green" than that and you want to live a more energy independent lifestyle in the Cleveland Eco Village. Then there's Lebron James's new housing development in historic Glenville...

For all of you expatriates and prodigal sons and daughters returning to the place you call home for the holidays, the Emerging Cleveland Tours are your chance to dive into the pulse of what's been happening in Cleveland while you've been away. The two minds behind this innovative set of tours are Erin Aleman & Justin Glanville, two good friends of mine and fellow grad students in the CSU Urban Planning program. The tours were a big hit last year and have been promoted by everyone from the Plain Dealer to Cool Cleveland. The number of tours this year have doubled and the two over Thanksgiving weekend sold out weeks prior to the holiday.

This Monday, December 4th, I'll have Erin & Justin on the show. We'll talk about their inspiration, the tours, and their plans for the future. Don't miss it!

Global Warming? Nah!

Hey, how 'bout 60 degrees and sunny in the last week of November? I'm not scared... are you? It's nice for the time being. I got to take my dog to the lakefront yesterday, spent Thanksgiving morning outdoors, hiked off the extra weight I gained the morning after, and all without the confines of my winter coat! Woo hoo!

Make sure to bring these tunes with you as you hit the beaches today Cleveland!

Honorary Title on the Air Tomorrow!

Hey! Guess what... I'll be interviewing the Honorary Title tomorrow on the air! It's a shame that they'll be on the road from Chicago, 'cause it'd be great to have the guys in the station, but we'll do our best to keep the connection as they pass through Indiana on their way to Monday night's show at the Grog Shop!

You can check out their myspace page for some sample tunes, or just listen to the show!
