I think historic League Park has no future as long as Councilwoman Stephanie Howse-Jones has a say. What Howse-Jones knows about ballparks and baseball can’t fill a thimble. She made that fact plain to me last month at a community meeting in her ward. I asked her point blank what Parks and Recreation, the city department that runs League Park,
I suppose I can put my frustration in storage now that I know I’m not the lone person who sees the Cleveland Metropolitan School District as a public institution where sound ideas go to get ignored. Its leadership must think institutional inertia is golden. It isn’t. It is, however, a reflection of indifference or incompetence. Those are the only choices
I lived in Detroit in the 1980s, and I'll admit I liked the city. At the time, nobody called it “the Comeback City.” It was “Crime City, USA,” but it had assets that made the place livable, which included verdant Belle Isle. That '80s image began to change when, surprisingly, people took those assets and put them to better use.
LAS VEGAS — I know how much most of us long to keep things the way they were, but I’ve come to realize that such a belief makes little sense. The world is in constant change, and if I didn’t know that for certain, I do now after spending three days in Las Vegas this month. For over two decades,
MEXICO CITY — My travels have a way of conjuring ghosts. Not the “Friday the 13th” scary kind, but the commercial sort — brands I'd assumed were dead and buried but weren’t. Sightings of such ghosts fill me with Technicolor memories. Look at Sears Roebuck, for example. Once commanding more than 3,500 stores, Sears dominated American retail with its appliances,
Download PowerPoint PDF here Are we preparing our CMSD students for the high-tech world of tomorrow? Let's not debate that question. Instead, let's start with teaching them about AI. As an article in The Los Angeles Times put it: It’s clear that our ideas about intelligence have evolved over time as the skills deemed necessary for survival and success have
First, let me start by praising the seven performers at the Poetry Slam, held Tuesday, August 5 at the Main Library downtown. The teenagers put on a magnificent performance; they displayed talent and a command with words that left people who heard them spellbound. The teenagers stood in front of an audience of mostly strangers and opened their hearts and
HELSINKI, Finland — To all my kin and friends who claim I don’t listen, let “Mr. Eats” bury your lies in truth. Forever, I hope. On my trip here, Doug Nohl, a colleague from my Ohio University days, insisted I try salmon soup at Market Square. Doug said to leave Helsinki without trying it borders on a sin, punishable
Anybody who was shocked after reading a recent Fortune magazine article about Generation Z’ers hasn’t spent much time around them. According to the article, Gen Z’ers lack motivation, and their workplace skills don’t exist, and, moreover, they have a sense of entitlement that’s frightening. Now, I’m not picking on all Gen Z’ers — nor was Fortune — just a lot
CHICAGO — I’d heard the Art Institute of Chicago was a world-class museum, and the people who told me so were correct. I can’t say any U.S. art museum outside New York City has anything to rival it. What earns an art museum its reputation is its collection. Take the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As I strolled through its galleries,
