Brewed Fresh Daily

I was looking thru the March issue of Fast Company magazine and was reminded of a story Valdis Krebs tells:

In a war zone or an earthquake, you have to visit the epicenter to really understand what's going on. That's why I found myself, one rainy December morning, sitting in a booth at Buck's of Woodside, the diner best known as Ground Zero of the New Economy. Buck's is the place where HotJobs.com, Netscape, and PayPal got funded and the favorite hangout of SV VC's to this day... "If Buck's is an early indicator, says owner Jamis McNiven, "then we've been up for some time. We're on the way back in and we're about to hang 10." Pancakes equals profits

Wouldn't it be great it Cleveland were ahead of the curve this time around? I get the feeling like we're still part of the Old Economy, never mind the New Economy II. Which leads me back to Valdis' story. Where are the entrepreneurs hangin' out in Cleveland? Don't tell me it's JumpStart. They don't serve pancakes and coffee...
