Thanks for all your kind words about our new redesign (see YR Turn letter below), but we’re not resting yet. Each week, the Cool Cleveland team works hard to bring you relevant, positive, inspiring news, events and profiles about the best our region has to offer. Not a day goes by that we don’t get thanked personally for the positive vibe we’ve been putting out every week for over 4 years, not surprising considering the response a local columnist received when she asked what readers want from their news (see NewsLINKS below). To make us even more relevant, complete our survey and allow us to bribe you with the chance to own a Video iPod. Take the 2-minute survey here. Meanwhile, can we turn you on to the best of this week: Music Man at Near West Theatre, and a provocative commentary about selling Cleveland from The Cleveland Store. Take it from us, there’s a lot of good stuff in that store. —Thomas Mulready

Mark Rosentraub
Dean of CSU Levin College of Urban Affairs

Mark Rosentraub is usually a very serious guy. As dean of Cleveland State University’s Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, the only one of its kind in the state, and ranked as one of the top 8 urban studies programs in the country, he’s usually writing papers and books and being quoted on issues of economic development in cities. His book, Major League Losers, about the economics and politics of professional sports, was reviewed by over 100 media outlets nationally, and is now used as a text book in colleges. But lately, he’s come to the realization that Cleveland hasn’t been selling itself very well. So he wrote the essay, The Cleveland Store, published in this week’s e-blast, and here he talks on video with Cool Cleveland’s Thomas Mulready about how and why Cleveland should take a page from IKEA’s book, and leverage our immigrant base to sell Cleveland from retail stores all over the country. http://www.CSUohio.edu http://www.Urban.CSUohio.edu
