We had a marathon round of inter­views last night. 7 in 3.5 hours. The upside of this, how­ev­er, is that we have a short week next week for the last round. We had some very impres­sive pre­sen­ta­tions and pro­pos­als on some tac­ti­cal and gen­er­al neigh­bor­hood ini­tia­tives, and I actu­al­ly had knowl­edge that was worth shar­ing. I’m start­ing to dis­cov­er that there are plen­ty of Cleve­landers in the trench­es doing good work in spite of all the obsta­cles thrown at them by city bureau­cra­cy. Hope­ful­ly we can help them out a bit if the city won’t.
