Some transitions take time.
As CoolCleveland celebrates 20 years, we’ve witnessed a sea change in our region’s attitude towards itself. Not too long ago, the concept of buying local was offered as a balance to big box stores and the internet. Now even Hale Farm hosts Made in Ohio for local makers.
Equity issues have come into focus as WRHS honors Black journalists. Flea markets used to be a rural oddity, this week the Peninsula Flea concludes another fabulous season.
Our industrial legacy used to rely on major institutions for innovation, now smaller startups are leading the way. Akron Soul Train features two veteran artists and one who’s emerging. Lit Cleveland’s Inkubator goes live at CPL this week.
Any change that’s going to happen will come from you. Take your time. We’re all counting on you.
