Ed Morrison · JumpStart is helping to change the image of Cleveland: Can we rock?
August 21st, 2010

The Wall Street Journal blog posts a shout out to JumpStart.
It’s never been quite clear why Cleveland has not embraced the Rock Hall in it’s branding and leveraged it to promote a younger, edgier entrepreneurial image (as clearly Youngstown and Akron are doing). Maybe this article signals a starting point. One barometer of how lost the Rock Hall is to Cleveland is the airport, where the Rock Hall reveals itself in a small corner store, one short hallway of posters (Concourse B) and a small wall poster with a microphone stuck in front (Concourse D).
Of course, Thomas Mulready has seen the gap and is filling it with CoolCleveland and Neotropolis.
