Independence
Independence can be fun. But maybe independence is overrated. We keep thinking what our region needs is a good dose of interdependence & community collaboration. We’ve got your hot picks for the community for this week: whether you want to explore the human body, or the body of water North of Lorain, Cool Cleveland’s got you covered. We suggest Independence Day celebrations featuring Cle teen phenom Caroline Goulding and The Lakewood Project. And we’re still offering $100 to a random someone who comments on the new site and/or e-blast. Leave your comments here. After all, we’re in this together.–Thomas Mulready

VIDEO: Caroline Goulding
Cleveland teen debuts with Cleveland Orchestra
When we last interviewed Caroline Goulding three years ago at age 15, she was performing with Red, an Orchestra. Subsequently, she was awarded first prize by Young Concert Artists International, and as the youngest artist on their roster, will be performing in Boston, Washington, D.C. and New York City. Also in 2009, Ms. Goulding released her debut solo CD on the Cleveland-based Telarc label, which made it to the Top 15 and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Watch the video interview with Caroline Goulding a few days before her full debut with the Cleveland Orchestra at their Thu 7/1/10 Star-Spangled Spectacular on Public Square, before an anticipated crowd of 50,000 or more. More information and video here

Interviewing the main human subjects for this article was not easy. They offered “No Comment,” but had much to share. With glassy-eyed, pleasant expressions, they gazed out over their audience quietly teaching each visitor as he passed by. Why were the human subjects being so close-mouthed? After all, they are the stars in the spotlight, these humans are on display at BODIES The Exhibition, but they are also dead and meticulously preserved.
This educational exhibit, which opened June 5, is located at Euclid Avenue and East 4th next to the House of Blues, and presents a museum quality presentation of the human body detailing nerves, blood vessels, muscles, tissue, organs and bones…

This year Im intrigued by the idea of making my getaway to a Lake Erie island on the Jet Express from Lorain rather than driving all the way to Sandusky or Marblehead… Read more from Claudia Taller here
One of the truisms I often quote is that Ohio is really a southern state that just happens to be located in the north.
Nothing brings that point home stronger than the recent conviction of two young black college students from Cleveland down in Portage.
Both were sentenced to 15 years to life in the death of a white college kid who died after a drunken brawl….
