Cleveland Ohio Public Square c1910 Postcard Panorama

Here’s a scan of an old fold-out panorama postcard, circa early 1910s, of Cleveland’s Public Square that my mother unearthed while looking through some old family photos from the late 1800s-early 1900s. The postcard was slightly battered and worn, but it provides an interesting view of the city from a century ago. (Click on the image for a large view.)

At the special activation, participants will be able to create a free “I won’t stand for…” t-shirt, personalizing it by stamping a word to fill in the blank, such as bullying, racism, religious intolerance, sexism, homophobia, ableism and more. In addition, consumers can take a photo to be part of the Characters Unite gallery and immediately share the image with their friends and family via social media. Guests can also film an “I won’t stand for…” video to join hundreds of people – including stars of USA’s hit shows, athletes and political leaders -- in lending their voices to the Characters Unite movement.

The tour is part of USA Network’s Characters Unite Month. Throughout February, the Network shines a spotlight on the importance of promoting greater tolerance, respect and acceptance through extensive on-air programming, digital content and community events across the country.

Following its launch during Super Bowl weekend in New Orleans, the “I Won’t Stand For” tour is also making stops in Denver, Nashville, Atlanta, Chicago and Dearborn, MI, as part of The Henry Ford Museum’s National Day of Courage in celebration of Rosa Parks’ 100th birthday.

Downtown Cleveland – It’s Here (Video)

Here’s a new video from the Downtown Cleveland Alliance showcasing all the great things going on in the city – and the great people that are keeping the energy going as well. Being a lifelong Cleveland area resident, I must point out that I didn’t see any winter scenes in this video; the weather can be brutal here. But nothing beats the spring and summer months!

Happy 100th Birthday, West Side Market!

Cleveland’s West Side Market celebrates its 100th birthday this week. To celebrate, here is a gallery of some photos I took at the market during recent visits. It’s not only a fantastic place to shop for food, but the building itself is a great space. (Click on any image to open the photo gallery.)

Cleveland Trust Rotunda Building & Ameritrust/Breuer Tower – Worth Saving

Here’s a current exterior photo of the Cleveland Trust Rotunda building and the Ameritrust Tower. The tower was designed by architect Marcel Breuer, who is known for the “brutalist” style. The tower was initially intended to be the home of the Cuyahoga Country offices, but after years of county mismanagement in trying to renovate the structure, the county trying (unsuccessfully) to sell the property, and the country corruption scandal/trial/convictions, the tower and the rotunda remain in limbo. The new county administration is looking at consolidating all its properties and hopefully in the process, someone will take up the task of getting these 2 building back in use. The Cleveland Trust Rotunda is an exceptional space and it would be wonderful to see it open and in use again. Having never been inside the Ameritrust Tower, I can’t speak to the interior of that facility, but I can say it is a very important structure in the world of architecture

The Cleveland Trust rotunda is on the corner of East 9th Street and Euclid Avenue (US Route 20), with the Ameritrust Tower directly next door on East 9th.
