Cleveland people who are thinking, looking, and acting

Here's a great comment from Lisa Kious:

I actually totally agree with Jack- Clevelanders have this inferiority complex about places like Seattle which are supposed to be THE place to be, but people there complain too! Cleveland has an amazing number of things to offer including folks working on sustainable business centers, green design, and the arts. And we have things that even BEAT Seattle like a free art museum, beautiful treed green spaces, and affordable housing. We've got good local seminars like Tuesdays@REI and the forums at Levin. And even good burritos (although I agree that burritos in the mission are the best, becuase hey - its the mission). I will agree that both Seattle and Cleveland are missing the boat on new urbanism and transit. But knowing people like Jack and George, I do know that we have the most important thing that is not explicity on that list - people who are thinking, looking, and acting on ideas to make this a better place to be. So lets buck up and stop comparing ourselves to places like Seattle - they have problems, we have problems. Now lets do something to fix them!!!

Thanks, Lisa! When are you starting your own blog?
