We’re celebrating in NEO just like they are in New Orleans & Rio this week. Cool Cleveland partnered with TropicalCleveland for an off-the-hook Carnaval last year, and we’re sure you’ll never forget (or regret) going to this week’s celebration. We point you to sledding and snowboarding sites in the region, and suggest some unexpected outings for Valentine’s Day in our Cool Cleveland V-Day Guide.

Something Different
Cool Cleveland’s Valentine’s Guide 2010

Valentine’s Day is an infamous holiday, where the ladies in relationships love to be whisked off on surprise romantic evenings, the guys in relationships are putting off looking for something and panicking over a lack of “romantic” ideas, and the singles are either feeling sad without a valentine or railing against the holiday at “down with love” parties.

Here at Cool Cleveland, we think there’s something for everyone this Valentine’s Day.

Check out our guide to some unexpected, unique and fun ways to spend your Valentine’s Day (or evening) in Cleveland…

Payday Lenders Still Hold Sway
Plus, Shut Up and Do Something

Back in November of last year I penned a rather scathing piece regarding the Ohio Black Legislative Caucus (OBLC) allowing it’s logo to be used by CheckSmart, those “nice” payday lending folks who routinely charge customers a whooping, ungodly 391 percent APR (Annual Percentage Rate). They sent out an email inviting folks to what was billed as “Free Seminars on Financial Education.”

These modern-day Robber Barons were going around the state “educating” folks on finances, but what they didn’t include in the curriculum was a lesson which stated “Stop, under no circumstance should anyone go through the doors of these rip-off loan shops.”

These “seminars” were akin to foxes telling hens how to make their family’s meager fortunes safe…

Yoga For Foodies

According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, “yoga” means a “Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation.”

Gateway Costs Taxpayers $100 Million Plus
Plus, Republicans Lie and News Media Spread It

Taxpayers continue to pay dearly for the run-over costs from Gateway. Cuyahoga County sent a check of $2,493,426.93 but that was only a small portion of tax funds that now total far more than $100 million paid for bond borrowings in the 1990s.

Payments last year put the cost over $100 million; $9.7-million payment was made this January.

Similar January payments will continue annually through 2023.
