We didn’t call this thingCoolCleveland sixteen years ago because we were nonchalant about our region. We believed this place was cool, but for some reason(s), the word wasn’t getting out. Well, that has changed.

Nate Puppets knows this, and CoolCleveland correspondent Nicole Hennessy offers her profile as he prepares for World Day of Puppetry this Saturday. The North Coast Men’s Chorus starting shaking things up 30 years ago and never stopped, and now they’re bringing in Maureen McGovern to celebrate.

Indie bookstores have come and gone, and some, like Visible Voice, have come back. CoolCleveland correspondent Claudia Taller offers praise for this resurrected community literary gathering place that refuses to go quietly. Dan Bruce’s :beta collective challenges audience, and CoolCleveland video correspondent Stephan Haluska got the interview this week before Bruce’s gigs at Akron’s BluJazz+ and Cleveland’s BOP STOP.

Avon Lake High School junior Ally Yellets is more engaged in her community than most adults, and she offers her report on helping organize her school during last week’s National School Walkout. We would do well to listen. And if it’s good music you want to listen to, we won’t equivocate: my talk this Thursday on the history and context of the Revolver album fits nicely between 1964 The Tribute and the Baldwin Wallace students’ live performance of that classic album during the BW Beatles Festival. Our passion is not neutral. –Thomas Mulready
