MSN.com features Cleveland in today’s post “Smart(ish) Cities: 12 unexpected urban areas that are doing good green stuff.”
It’s a nice recap of the Grist feature on Cleveland. It includes some things we already knew (“this Midwest metropolis is also home to a surprisingly forward-looking sustainability subculture”) and a few things we were pleasantly surprised to hear (“Cleveland also ranks second only to Los Angeles in the number of projects per capita seeking certification under LEED-ND”).
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.

what's this picture?
Susan Miller Says:The image that is in the MSN story seems to be missing a building - one that is prominently featured in the article you posted. The MSN image is "Barry Howe/Corbis". When was the last time Barry visited the city? When did Burke Lakefront get to be so green? Did someone tell him it IS a golf course? The east bank of the Flats looks marvelously green in this image too. Not a bad idea.
