The entire Randall Park Mall/Southgate issue is yet another example of Cleveland’s totally avoidance of regional urban planning.
Randall Park Mall is one of the creepiest places I have been recently. That will teach me to go to a mall with a sign that says “WE’RE STILL OPEN”.
This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
