It runs east from West 67th to West 34th between Clark to the North and Denison to the South. But…Read More you could look it up on Google maps for a better idea of just how far it is from West 117th and Madison.

I won't make it there before 2pm, but if you don't sell your drum set...I am interested!

I am so glad to hear about this project for those in our community who struggle with mental illness.…Read More Thanks for sharing this information, Nikki.

They are turning it into a Discount Drug Mart - should open this summer.

They are supposed to be reopening in early July as Brew 211, as sports bar with a lot of large flat…Read More TVs and basic bar food. The big wood booths are leaving. Sullivan's as we knew it is gone.

Is he friendly? Would he come when called? I will keep my eye out for him!

Again, while I am very grateful for the outcome for my Mom, I also have a lot of compassion for the…Read More other residents. The move for my Mom is only temporary, since the South Westerly will come under the same guidelines within a couple of years. This can only be changed by an act of Congress. I have already written letters to the politicians involved, particularly Marcy Kaptur -- Ohio Congressional District 9. Hopefully, all concerned will do the same.

Marcy doesn't care about Lakewood. Dennis Kucinich wouldn't allow this to happen, but thanks to…Read More Republican (Kasich) redistricting, Dennis had to run against Marcy, and he lost.
Remember this when Kasich runs against local Lakewood man Ed Fitzgerald runs for Governor.

Members of Congress tack on amendments to bills all the time that only benefit a handful of their…Read More constituents. If there was ever a time for a pork barrel move, this would be it. You're right Duane, this would have never gotten this far if Dennis was still next door to the Westerly.

After two weeks of being lost in Cleveland, Mordecai has come home!! He had traveled 3 miles from…Read More where he was lost. A huge thank you to Eve, who lured him out of a huckleberry bush with hot dogs! He looks great and hasn't lost too much weight, and is being showered with bacon and steak.
We hope to be able to pay this forward as much as we've been helped, thank you everyone for your time, thoughts and hard work!!

I'm so happy he's home now! Thanks to everyone who helped keep an eye on him by sharing this post!…Read More :) Patch in action!

Thank goodness he is back home with Lidia and fam, where he belongs - yay!!! And the outpouring of…Read More community support for this sweet puppy was amazing. Thankful for this awesome community too!

So I think an important part of any action is to get those residents who are being evicted and are…Read More willing and able to picket in front of the Westerly, out there, with signs, supporters and the media. Are any of the residents willing to do that, or their families/friends? The oldest could sit in chairs with signs. Signs could say things like "The Westerly is throwing grandma to the curb" or "Evicted by Big Money". I'm just shooting from the hip here but you get the idea. I would come out as a supporter. I have few contacts in that building, but the two that I do have are activists. Could you organize something like this with your contacts? Look out Westerly, you will be on the news and it won't be pretty.

They can't ask these seniors to move at this point in their lives. This just does not sit well with…Read More me at all. How can the bank and IRS be okay with this? Something definitely needs to be done to allow these people (who have done NOTHING wrong by the way) to stay right where they are.
Steve, No county dollars on Detroit. it is a State Route. Madison Ave is a County road. We are working hard to get county support for its resurfacing (a $2.3 million dollar project)
