Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film “Draft Day” which is a fictional story about one Browns GM who has a fierce drive to build a winning team. Some of the film was shot in Cleveland…and I suspect the “Factory of Sadness” will make an appearance.

Cleveland Rocks New Year’s Eve on Public Square
Don’t forget the Cleveland Rocks New Year’s Eve on Public Square celebration on December 31, 2013 at 8PM – it’s a new tradition! I’ve been told it’s an event like nothing Cleveland has ever seen before. There will be more than 15 food trucks from around the Northeast Ohio area, and guests will have the opportunity to indulge in food from their favorite eateries, while hearing live performances throughout the evening from local DJs/Artist, including popular EDM group, Krewella. The event will also feature live ice sculpting, a beer garden, firework display, and countdown to midnight from Cleveland’s own, Drew Carey.

Christmas on Public Square, Cleveland Ohio
I haven’t had a chance as yet to get to Public Square in downtown Cleveland to see this season's Christmas lights. The weather turned very snowy in the last few weeks here in the snow belt, but I hope to see this year's display soon. In the meantime, here is one of my animated photos from a previous year. Enjoy the holiday season!

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.)
