I love seeing Clevelanders – especially young Clevelanders – finding inspiration and getting involved in a cause that matters to them. Whether it’s the arts, the homeless and hungry, the preservation of a historic landmark or building awareness for a disease — if you see an organization or an issue…
Update: If you want a second chance to win Date Night at the ZOOvies tickets, check out Poise in Parma today.

A couple weeks ago I — along with the rest of the world — was glued to my computer for the Mars Curiosity Rover’s “7 Minutes of Terror” culminating in a tweet that was Curiosity’s version of “one small step for man”: I was a Mr. Wizard and Bill Nye kid growing up and although much of the science goes over […]
