- I was talking with an employee at the Steelyard Best Buy over the weekend and was told that they’re doing much worse than corporate had set for them, about $10k-less-than-estimate-per-week it sounded like. I was also told that other businesses down there are hurting too, they’re all waiting for Wal-Mart to open in the hopes that business will spike then. It is pretty bad when my purchase likely accounted for 1/7th of their Sunday business.
- I’ve called the Cleveland Green Building Coalition three times about getting information on greening my home and haven’t heard back once.
- My Collinwood Drumline video keeps getting comments from Collinwood youth. I think it means a lot to them to see one of their sources of pride out there on the Internet, posted by a stranger.
- I finally met someone from the Greater Cleveland area who is just as geeked up about living in Cleveland as I am. That says something, but I’m not sure what.
- Whiskey Island is a great place, and I’m actually glad it is a bit hard to access. I want to spend a day there hanging out and tossing a ‘bee around. Especially with a dog. Or a girl, I suppose.
- I must find taro in the area before Wednesday.

I’ve found dried Taro Root powder at the co-op/ nature’s bin type stores to use as a non-gluten/non-gelatin soup thickener. I have never looked for fresh root, though. Good luck.

I’ll try at the Asian Market in St. Clair/Superior…if they don’t have it, it probably can’t be found in Cleveland. I need it for a sugar-free dessert recipe I’m going to try.

West Side Market? Tink Holl?

I haven’t seen it at the WSM [doesn’t mean it isn’t there…] Tink Holl is where I’m headed after work. I couldn’t remember what it was called. There’s another market or two over that way…

Call Kimo’s and see if he can give you guidance on where to get it. If anyone knows, he would.

Tink Holl had it. $1.39#. That place is awesome. I think every ingredient in my Natural Remedies from Japan cookbook is there.
