East Cleveland will demolish a building via explosion and the Cleveland Film Commission is offering an opportunity for a filmmaker who wants to blow something up real good (a likely forgotten John Candy Second City reference). Check out this cool opportunity! -- the link below has contact information for the mayor. If you do connect, please let me know so I can be there to watch this building come down!

I will! I'll send him a connect request, too, since we're both Clevelanders! Nice to meet you (virtually), btw.
Good to meet you as well! Yes, definitely connect with Johnny, he's great! And think you both have similar genre interests.
I live near Cleveland and I'm wondering if they are looking for a film production to pay for the costs of the demolition. It seemed that way in some of the publications I read about it.

Jeremy, I wondered that, too. I guess it makes sense to share the costs and sell it as a perk, which it is to the right parties! BTW, If a film production crew needs to film mopping floors and washing dishes, I've got a great location for them

Call Jerry Bruckheimer & Michael Bay. They love to blow shit up
It wouldn't bother me if they blew up all of Cleveland, aka 'the mistake on the lake'.
Like many Clevelanders, Doug, I've had a complicated love/hate relationship with the place, but ultimately I've got Cleveland in my soul! It's got some very cool things going for it and some very creative people, and as critical as I can be of Cleveland and for all its flaws, I like the place! It just takes a little digging to get to know it. Cleveland is like that abrasive friend who doesn't always play well with others but turns out to be really fun.
Dale, I grew up in Shaker Heights, my dad was the first chair violinist at the Symphony under George Gingold. I remember the town with many, many stories.
No kidding! Small world! Many years ago I lived in an apartment off of Shaker Square. Here's my odd bit of Cleveland trivia that ties into the symphony: My wife's grandfather, a gymnast, was the model for one of the reliefs at Severance Hall. You probably looked at his likeness at some point in your past!
Probably - I spent a lot of time in Severance Hall.
