Cycle
What goes around becomes round. We were on the dark side of the moon, now we’re in the sun. Although, some of us prefer the shadows.Cycling exemplifies the new NEO. NEOcycle represents how far we’ve come. A pannier full of rides, races, and radically great local music, bringing our town around to the top of the biking heap. At least for this weekend. We’ll see you at The Hub and on the night ride.

Every now and then, we all get a Ben Franklin or Thomas Edison moment where while driving or brushing our teeth or even dreaming we come up with a great invention.
For Cleveland resident Tyler Lacor, his idea for a pocket all-in-one 30-plus function tool seemed more like a calling than a fleeting dream.
The result is the EDC Card: The Ultimate Everyday Carry Pocket Multi-Tool, which is a high quality S35VN blade steel that can do literally everything…

The days of eating at chain restaurants are gone, with some help of course, from Clevelands coolest restaurant organization: Cleveland Independents. Cleveland Independents is an organization consisting of more than 80 Cleveland chef power houses that centers its focus on promoting eating local.
CoolCleveland Correspondent Marty Bielat met up with one of the organizations members, Chef Jonathan Bennett, at his new steak house, Red, in order to discuss the issues. Jonathan told us all about the organization, its members, and their very famous Restaurant Week which takes place during the first two weeks of November. Keep up the good fight Jonathan!

John Waters is a master of serving up everything you never knew you wanted.
A writer, director, actor, artist, host and collector, Waters pushed the boundaries in 1970s cinema with shocking (and sometimes revolting) dark comedies that tickled the taboo. Creating funny films of the forbidden, Waters often presents bombastic characters in preposterous situations.
Now the forerunner of feculence will pass along his irreverent wisdom and extraordinary life experiences in a 75-minute monologue This Filthy World: Filthier and Dirtier at the CIA Cinematheque Sat 9/27…

Take your imagination to the next level, like these Clevelanders did, and create something with the Cleveland Public Library’s 3D printer. Located in the library’s famous “Tech Central,” this free-to-use 3D printer bridges the gap between technology and creativity right in the palm of your hands.
CoolCleveland Corespondent Marty Bielat met up with the Cleveland Brewery’s owners, John and Mary Fuduric, at Tech Central and heard their story. The couple created the tap handle with help from the library’s staff, Suzi Perez, using a 3D printer. Witnessing a new tap being built was astounding, and we captured it on film.
Of the various porchfests in the area, Peninsula’s Music on the Porches has the most traditional flavor. The roster includes acoustic folksingers, bluegrass banjo players, old-time ensembles, alt-country acts like Rebekah Jean (pictured), and even a Native American flutist. Sat 9/27.

MetroHealth and CMSD are partnering to bring hands-on experiences to local high school students. The MetroHealth system is sponsoring education, internships and mentoring to students from Lincoln-West High School. The program, that will hopefully inspire the participants to follow a career in the medical field, is currently underway for 28 eager students.
All of the students participating in the program are juniors because the minimum time needed for the internship is two years. The juniors will attend monthly lectures by MetroHealth doctors on health care topics and careers, and when the summer hits, the students will be offered three-week internships at MetroHealth.
The Aurora Family Fun Fest & Bark-BOOnanza encourages you to get in the Halloween spirit early this year. Dress your dog in costume & enjoy a scarecrow making contest & more Sat 9/27.

Virtually every time I give a speech or make a presentation at an event such as TEDxCle or PechaKucha, a number of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young people approach me, business card in hand, gushing about how much they love what were doing with urban farming in Hough and offering to do some pro bono work.
The problem is, most of them, it turns out, are bullshitting me — as well as themselves…
