Plain Dealer Reporter Now On Drugs
It must have been a bad trip though. The only thing the guy got out of it was making Dave Matthews’ set seem longer. Painful.
Do You Know Why I Pulled You Over?
A new study in Cleveland found that black drivers are more likely to be stopped for traffic violations and to have their cars searched by police. City officials and white dudes have been quick to state the studies are inconclusive and do not prove that racial profiling is occuring, while NAACP President George Forbes stated, “”What this study says is that if you are poor and black or Puerto Rican, you are going to get stopped.” Check out both sides here.

This is a gravel parking lot, so bring a chair or something other than your dirty blanket. Bring beer and food, your dog, kids, whatever.
This is a free event, but if you want to bring a couple bucks to throw in the pot, that’d be awesome.
Parking: You can park on either side of E. 63rd. It extends all the way to the railroad tracks. Please take care not to bother our neighbors anymore than we already are.
You can ride a bicycle, or take the RTA ..1 from Public Square (picks up on the NW quadrant) down St. Clair Ave. Exit at Norwood and continue East for one block. Follow the music.
From the West: Take 90 East to the E. 55th St. exit and turn right onto E. 55th. Take a left on St. Clair. Take a left on E. 63rd (there’s a Charter One Bank on the corner). The Compound lot will be on your left.
From the East: Take 90 West to the E. 55th St. exit and turn right onto E. 55th. Take a left on St. Clair. Take a left on E. 63rd (there’s a Charter One Bank on the corner). The Compound lot will be on your left.
If your coming from the South you can get to I-90 by going North on I-271, I-77, or I-71. I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
