Brooklyn Ohio is a money grubbing city. I know this from personal experience. I got two tickets in one year from this city.
One ticket was for driving while on a cell phone. The other ticket was for turning left into Giant Eagle from Biddulph road. The “No Left Turn” sign isn’t visible until you start making the turn. There were also painted arrows on the road indicating that a left turn was okay. To this day, I avoid driving thru Brooklyn, Ohio. I won’t even patronize businesses in the city.
Now the city of Brooklyn, Ohio pimped slapped local business and everyone is going to have to pay for it.
Brooklyn, Ohio raised the payroll tax on business in the city. Now American Greetings may want to leave the city to save money.
Read more about Brooklyn’s plans in an article by Plain Dealer Reporter Janet Cho. She’s one of my favorite business reporters in Cleveland.
A group of some of the smartest and most intriguing people in a city coming together and collectively writing a book on social media… Have you ever heard of such a thing? AND IN CLEVELAND??
This is the first time I have seen this and I think that it’s extremely OUTSTANDING!!!
Welcome to Social Media was created as a place for the Cleveland Social Media Club to share educational materials designed to help individuals and businesses navigate the quickly evolving world of social media. Welcome to Social Media, Volume 1, is the first of what we hope will be many e-books offering social media tips and advice to users of all skill levels. – www.welcometosocialmedia.com
I know you are saying to yourself as you scratch your head, “Well jeepers, how much does it cost?” Well, my fine thrifty friends… it’s FREE. There are no mailing lists, no spam, nothing..NADA. Get the book now dude.
See, as Clevelanders, we love to share. We’ll hold the line up at the grocery store just to tell why we are buying broccoli. Cleveland is the PLACE for Social Media. Social media is perfect for Clevelanders and for any person or business who wants to share. (Hint for Facebook..how about moving your headquarters here to Cleveland.)
If there is a Volume #2…count me in.
Here’s what members of the Cleveland Social Media Club are saying about social media. (I love this video and I’m blatantly going to steal this idea for my next video. I love the use of the twitter profiles in this video.) Speaking of Twitter, follow me if you want http://twitter.com/dailybragger
Ohio politicians just don’t get the picture. They could make it easy on the film industry but they won’t. Two movies about Cleveland are being produced right now. The Irishman about Mobster Danny Greene in the 70′s and “Ness” a movie about the the Torso Murderer in Cleveland when Elliot Ness was safety director in the city.
The problem…Tax Breaks to film makers.
Back in December of 2008 Governor of Ohio Ted Strickland used his veto power on a bill that would have made it easier to film movies in the state of Ohio. Because of Strickland’s actions, films about Ohio or Cleveland are being filmed in other locations around the world, even Canada. Of course, the film makers will shoot some stock footage of the state or city and then tape it together in the final product.
Not only is this a revenue loss for the State and Cities, it’s a whopper of a PR loss for the city.
I’m not ashamed of where I live, the people are great. I’m ahamed of the idiots that run this state.
(Cleveland, Ohio) Cleveland Blogger, Tim Russo, publisher of Blogger Interrupted has some video that he shot at a recent McCain-Palin Rally in Strongsville, Ohio. He asked some McCain supporters a few questions and it made the McCain supporters look ugly. The main question was “Is Obama a terrorist?” I was surprised when I heard the answers from the McCain supporters. The video is going viral. Look for all of the major networks to pick up his story.
