We can’t make progress without crossing a border.
Change is inevitable. Whether it’s positive or negative is up to us. Graffitists Bob Peck & R!ch Cihlar warn us: Don’t Panic: Brace For Impact. Akron Soul Train explores interstate migration. Oberlin Opera Theatre explores love and loss through a Greek myth, and Gum-Dip Theatre presents Brokers Without Borders in Akron.
CoolCleveland columnist C. Ellen Connally previews the upcoming era of Justin Bibb, the mayor-elect and the new face of Cleveland, as he attempts to turn the hopes and promises of a campaign into real progress for our region.

It all starts when you take that first step across the line.
