Dear Clevelander-in-the-know: GLUE (the Great Lakes Urban Exchange), a network of young leaders and activists who share ideas and best practices for revitalizing Great Lakes cities, is currently planning its third annual conference. Participants in the first two conferences, in Buffalo in 2008 and Milwaukee in 2009, have said things like: “You have re-energized and inspired me… I can’t wait until next year!” click here for complete postPhoto of the Week: The Long Way Home by satsun74Posted on 01-19-2010 at 2:27 PM by Emily Knoll
I spent last weekend at home, relaxing, reveling in the mid-Winter warmth (can I call 37 degrees warm? It’s been soooo much colder in January…), and visiting the auto show in Detroit. The show was a lot different than it has been in the past, but one of the best additions was “Electric Avenue,” an exhibition of about 20 new, electric cars from around the world. It’s totally different from the loud, flashy displays on the main level; these cars are quiet and seem like their from another world, but there’s something cool about seeing the cars today that everyone will be driving tomorrow. Satsun74’s ‘88 Cadillac isn’t like that. It’s big and loud, but it’s cool. It might need more gasoline than a Prius or Volt, but auto companies haven’t yet figured out how to make these modern machines as exciting as they used to be. Thanks, satsun74, for submitting pictures of this Cadillac (check out more on the Flickr pool!), and thanks again to everyone else who’s sending in photos. click here for complete postEvent: 2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National ConferencePosted on 01-15-2010 at 3:16 PM by Emily KnollThe 2010 Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference, which will be held from May 4-6, 2010, at the Hilton Washington in Washington, D.C., is a conference that focuses on the implementation of the green economy and building a revitalized, green economy that creates good jobs, reduces global warming and preserves Americas economic and environmental security.
