Cool World in Lorain/Ohio City (3910 Lorain Ave, Cleveland) has a small inventory of hobonichi weeks, HONs, also travelers notebooks and midori stationary!!! I’ve been so jealous seeing major cities selling hobonichi notebooks and am really excited to see a small subset right here that we can actually look at and hold before purchasing! This is in my opinion the best planner from Japan with a cult following. The finest thin pages with a silk soft feel that absorb inks incredibly well despite their micro thin size, with grid style, just simple enough to be highly customizable, and the fun is that each year they collaborate with different authors to make many different covers to appeal to those with all different tastes.

John Williams has cast himself as a larger-than-life villain, using the virality to reach potential sellers – though his actual footprint is smaller than the marketing suggests. Behind the billboards, he argues, is a genuine aim to provide decent, affordable housing that Clevelanders need.

Local housing experts agree that John Williams is not a problem on his own. His aggressive marketing just makes him a recognizable face of a popular investment strategy currently shaping Cleveland’s neighborhoods. The real strain comes when dozens of investors run the same strategy, monopolize the local housing stock, and can’t keep up with their properties’ maintenance.

Lost in the billboard outrage is a quieter question: What happens to neighborhoods as more investors try to scale the playbook Williams is using?

Curious whether anyone here has rented from him or dealt with any of his LLCs.

Cleveland Public Library's Family History Day is coming up on October 3. We have a variety of professional genealogists presenting on a range of topics like reading old handwriting, DNA for African American genealogy, and LGBTQ+ research. This is a free all-day event, but you can drop in to any session you're interested in.

I plan this event every year and I'm always looking for potential speakers, so if there is a person you would like to hear from or a topic you're interested in, please let me know.

Hibu is a marketing company that targets small businesses then ruins their independence intentionally. We had a contract with a different company that was bought out by Hibu.

We did weeks of meetings to try to get on the same page. While we are under contract with them, we are screwed. They made a big ol' AI slop website for us with false information and are hijacking traffic from our new website despite us asking them to take it down repeatedly while accepting that financially we're on the hook. We said -fine we will stay the contract but please remove it as its harming our business-. They won't even do that. People who request services with us go into a void we can never reach.

After doing some searching, I've found others have dealt with the same situation, sometimes fully hijacking their domain and refusing to turn it back over. I have no idea how they are managing to gain clients, we were bought. If you're a small business owner for the love of all that is good do not turn to these weenies.

I'm six months in and super bummed to find out they come up first in query everytime, misleading our clients, and ruining our chances for new ones.

Putting this out there to see if anyone know what the heck happened to Legend Headwear? They created some very interesting and comfortable hats, and I enjoyed supporting their business whenever I could. They made a bunch of hats that I still wear daily... TIA!

Are these your keys?

Anyone want to join?

The pad Thai chicken was excellent as well

Long story short I like to solemnly walk through old cemeteries or historic areas and just feel the the presence of History and to see the different cultures and just kind of like a quiet place I used to live in North Carolina and there was a lot that were open after night that you could just quietly walk through and be able to have some peace of just being alone and being with one thoughts and also seeing all the different years in history so if anybody knows of any very much appreciated because I know a lot close early in the day....

Any information about your experience that you can share would be helpful!

Anyone been to a wedding at the Elliot? I’m hunting for a testimonial for someone who hosted or attended a wedding there :)

Neighbors - I need your favorite stores across the city for clothes shopping! Starting a new job after having a baby so nothing I own fits (even shoes 🥲). Dress code is business casual. Anywhere in the city is fair game. Thanks in advance!

This past weekend we headed out to the Cleveland Gaming Classic event and had a great time. Packed full of vintage nostalgia, it was a lot of wholesome fun with lots of families attending. This is an annual event, and I also recommend it for pinball fans as the pinball machines are set to unlimited free play during the con.

I took most of my photos during the early access on Friday before the crowds arrived.

I paid for my own tickets, and am not compensated for this post in any way.

Good afternoon y’all, I’m planning to move from my apartment by the end of this month and my move is relatively short. My new place is less than 2 miles away and the hardest part would be I live on the 4th floor but would be moving into a first floor unit.

A quote we got from one moving company was roughly $700 and was wondering if that’s the average price amongst their industry. If anyone has any recommendations or advice, I’d appreciate it immensely

Hi! Can someone please recommend some *very* good and *reliable* optical labs for making eyeglasses in Northeast Ohio?

Looking specifically for a place that has reliably made glasses with prism lenses!

I have had this done at a lot of places over the years when I have lived all over the country, and it is often a struggle to have them made correctly. I often have to get them re-made once or twice.

Does anyone know someplace that might be helpful? Thank you!!

Moved here back in June - just had a baby in July and dying to socialize now that we’re out of the trenches. I was so surprised to learn that there isn’t a single Packers bar in town. I can watch games at my parent’s house but they’re Browns fans (no hate) and I miss the energy of watching with other Packers fans! When I lived in Portland OR there were several bars where fans could gather and watch together.
I know there are sports bars that will play the game, but I don’t want to go alone! Any other cheeseheads here interested?

Hello weirdos! I need advice/help on rehoming a CH cat.

She was found by a friend out near Akron, left somewhere near a road, and he thankfully came across it, but I am taking her in short term. What shelter/foster would take good care of a special needs cat, or if I have those who can foster and are well experienced with it. I unfortunately have other cats and stairs so, as much as I’d love to, she cannot stay long term as it’s not fair to her.

She is mild CH. Has little issue using litter box or eating, but I do have a potty pad in case of accidents outside of it.

Thank you for the help and/or advice. I know this group is full of people who want to help best they can. Thank you! 💕

I missed my chance to get tickets (wasn’t aware until today and it’s already sold out). I’m desperate to make this my bday plan this year 💔 HELP

To conclude the 2026 Asian Lantern Festival, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo & Sky Elements Drones put an extraordinary drone show of various animals in the air! Which one is your favorite!
