Exciting things are right around the corner.

We’re lucky around here that we get to witness the turning of the seasons, and so much more. Like tasting the return of Walnut Wednesdays to Perk Plaza. Or hearing the Warbler Warm-Up at Liberty Park Nature Center. Or experiencing the May 4 events at Severance Hall memorializing the Kent State shootings. Or participating in the Big Creek Watershed Clean-Up. Or being there for the beginning of the summer artisan season at Maker Town Market at Forest City Brewing.The Veganish ladies branch out from apples and bananas and post a hilarious taste test of some exotic fruits to expand our healthy diets. And coming up next week on Tue 05.03 is the primary election, so be sure to vote between 6:30AM-7:30PM, or get your Vote-by-Mail ballot postmarked by Mon 05.02. CoolCleveland endorses Shontel Brown for Congress and Chris Ronayne for County Executive. Let’s turn the corner and get ourselves headed in the right direction.

Shontel Brown for Congress

Shontel Brown, who assumed the job of congresswoman from OH-11 last November, has by any measure done a great job; she’s facing a pointless primary challenge. Anyone who wants to see OH-11 represented by someone who does the work and is fighting for them — without being the loudest or spouting the most utopian-sounding slogans — will vote for her in the May 3 primary.

The primary for Cuyahoga County Executive, to replace the retiring Armond Budish, isn’t where the excitement is. Republican Lee Wiengart, briefly a county commissioner in the 90s, is unopposed. The Democratic race features 15-year University Circle Inc. head Chris Ronayne and young, inexperienced Tariq Shabazz. With the Democrat likely to win in November, this is an easy call. Read More
