Cleveland: Most Sustainable City in Ohio.

Cleveland won for the most sustainable city in Ohio. Of the 50 named cities, it was a full 14 spots ahead of Columbus, the only other city in Ohio earning a rank. Portland, no surprise, was first; Minneapolis, also no surprise, was seventh. Cleveland ranked 16th, and Columbus 30th.

I usually think of Cleveland's skyline as rather uninspired, especially considering how many offices are empty downtown. However, the photo they caught was rather becoming.



I've always enjoyed visiting Cleveland, but I just could never live there. However, for a weekend trip it's a wonderful trip. Its rich history, fun city layout, beautiful location along the Lake and fantastic local restaurants all contribute for a great getaway from Columbus.

Green Maps.

I'm buried in schoolwork, but I found a nifty website and decided to share. It's called Green Maps, and essentially it's a site that has maps for green-living all over the world. There seem to be hundreds of cities/counties represented, so it's actually pretty broad. I checked into Milwaukee and Madison, and I was pretty surprised at the amount of information! Check your city out and see how many 'green' establishments you didn't know about.

Columbus' isn't working for some reason; maybe they have a new URL? Anyone know about this?
