Great spending part of a snowy day @ClevelandArt. My 3rd visit to see Picasso and Paper, ending 03/23. Don't miss this opportunity. You can also bump into Rodin.

Additional details from @clevelandart on its Roman statue: Tests included comparing molds of the feet to stone pedestals at Sebasteion, (AKA Bubon) plus lead isotope analyses and tests on soil within the statue led CMA to conclude it "had likely been unearthed at Bubon."

Sharing a shot taken by a friend on a flight at 30k feet at 9:30 PST this morning. It shows the massive scale of the LA fires, the worst in the city's history.

Thrilled to see @CityofCleveland's announcement this morning of $70M in funding for the downtown lakefront connector, on top of $60M previously announced to redo the Shoreway. Big steps for big dreams! @CLEcityplanning @JustinMBibb @chrisronayne @lilliankuri @Baiju_R_Shah

Exciting to see solid plans by @MerrittChase for Canal Basin Park today @CLEcityplanning. It's now time to revive the pavilion once proposed for the park by @cleveLANDstudio & @studioweave. Properly placed, it would be a great focal point. @lilliankuri @LAND_Gp @JustinMBibb

Mourning the death of Richey Piiparinen, city-focused public intellectual, based in Cleveland. Richey died Sunday, his family said, after a long fight with glioblastoma. He spoke with me in March about his book, "Octopus Hunting: https://t.co/NmuBwzZzjI.

Ouch: CLE didn't make the @SMUDataArts list of top 20 cities in cultural vibrancy https://t.co/mpTscnEQHy, despite having @CleveOrchestra, @ClevelandArt, @rockhall, @playhousesquare, @CuyArtsC funding & lots more. Flawed methodology perhaps? @chrisronayne @JustinMBibb @TheCLE
