1Cleveland Museum of Natural History
The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is a great place to visit for anyone interested in the natural world. They have a great collection of specimens from all over the world, and their exhibits are always interesting and well-made. If you're looking for something to do with your kids, they've got a great outdoor animal exhibition too.
This was my first time back since I was a kiddo. Boy, have they upgraded.. The wildlife area was my favorite part and my daughter absolutely loved the dino exhibits. Masks were required for the first 2 hours after the opened but nit required after noon.

My family really enjoyed our time at the Natural History Museum. My favorite part was the mining area! It was really neat to see what different elements look like. I also enjoyed seeing all of the animals. The reason why this is a 4 star and not a 5 is due to the layout of the museum. It was not very intuitive and we had to do a lot of backtracking in order to make sure that we didn't miss any of the exhibits. I'm hoping when the new museum opens that it will have a better layout. All in all though, it was a great experience and I look forward to returning! The most fun thing I learned is that the T-Rex was actually just a big chicken! 🦖 = 🐓 (refer to photos!) PS: the gift shop here is amazing and benefits ongoing programs at the museum!
My children really enjoy the museum. Great staff and security. There are educators carrying out demonstrations in a few exhibits. The kids really enjoy the presentation giving on the wildlife rescue animals which will soon be released into the wild. The building seems to always be under construction though; causing some sections to be closed. Overall the price was not bad. We paid 100 bucks for the family pack membership, good for a year. Perfect for us; being 2 adults and 4 kids. I'm expecting next years price to increase with the completion of construction and new exhibits but I'm OK with it if it does. Would've received 5 stars if all exhibits are open. Oh and the Otters are a real treat. We could sit and observe them forever if we can.

2Cleveland Botanical Garden
The Cleveland Botanical Garden is a world-renowned botanical garden and education center with 20 gardens spread out over 4 acres. The Hershey Children's Garden is especially kid-friendly, featuring nature play areas, ponds, and honey bees. The gardens also feature plant collections from all over the world, as well as an outdoor greenhouse and conservatory.
This was such a magical place for us to be able to visit in the winter. The weather was just nice enough for us to be able to walk the outside gardens even though there weren't many things blooming out there. We loved the orchids, the turtles, the birds, and all of the beautiful ways in which the flowers were displayed. We purchased our first orchid before leaving and took some incredible pictures we want to share. If you get the chance to visit here, I'm sure you will get your money's worth! 🌼👍

I would definitely recommend this place for anyone! It did get pretty hot in the butterfly damp room. But overall was absolutely beautiful! There is an indoor and outdoor portion. The outside was all dead, so we will definitely be coming back in the summer, but inside was amazing!
Katrina Schmit — Google review
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE GARDENS! I love the interior glasshouses, the Costa Rica and Madagascar. I am so glad the butterfly release is back! I got to have a few butterflies land on me! It was the coolest thing. I have a membership and coming here doesn't get old at all! I got to walk around the outside grounds a bit and while there were a lot of spring blooms, it was still really dead, chilly and brown. I am really really looking forward to coming back in May and June to see all the new green!

3A Christmas Story House
The A Christmas Story House museum is a place that brings back many childhood memories for fans of the movie. It has been restored to look just like the home in the movie and there are costumes and props from the movie on display, as well as a cafe across the street.
This was such a neat experience! If you have a love for the movie 'A Christmas Story', this is a must see! Would be the perfect holiday trip and you can even stay overnight at the house! It was very interactive, take a photo with the leg lamp, check out the toys under the Christmas tree, bathroom had the soap and decoder pin and the kitchen you could sit in the sink cupboard! The Second house had memorabilia and was more like a museum, then the gift shop had a TON of stuff, it's huge! We had a really great time!

A stand alone experience of Cleveland! The tour guides are so friendly and endearing. Something about this tour is so heartwarming, it makes you feel like a little kid again. If you have the chance to visit it's one of the most spectacular ways to spend $15. You get a tour of the house and a tour of the museum and it really is something you'll keep with you. Have some Christmas any day of the year! 🎅❤
Brandee Youngclaus — Google review
We were in the Cleveland area visiting family for the Holidays and wanted to check out the site of a Christmas classic movie. The tour and museum were fun to see. The tour guide answered many questions and gave further insight to the film's production. You need to purchase tickets in the gift shop or online. However, the online purchase only works if you buy them ahead of time since they are mailed to you versus emailed to you. I would recommend going at a time rather than Christmas to avoid any lines. We went one day and the wait was 3 hours but only 30 minutes the next day.

4Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum dedicated to the history of rock and roll. It features displays on the music, the performers, and the industry. The museum is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
We spent five hours at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and loved it! We spent 90 minutes on level 0- the main exhibit that had a ton of information. The Garage was a family favorite as my husband and son(12 years old) were able to play piano, guitars and drums. We were there on a Tuesday, so it wasn't too busy, which was great for the Garage. We enjoyed the wall of inductees and videos that went along with them. The Cafe is convenient, but pricey. The food was decent. We parked in the harbor lot for $10.00 and that was easy. Definitely a destination for those who love and appreciate music!
Rachel Zimmermann — Google review
This museum was great! It a total of about 6 levels. There is so much history and amazing talent that is presented in this museum. Zero floor is basically the main exhibit. There are also additional floor one floor you can customize a band name logo and print your logo at no additional charge. There is also a area where you can play the guitar live with videos on how to play a couple drums sets and more! Definitely worth a visit! The staff and team members are also very friendly!
A unique experience every time I go! It's never the same display. So that makes it fun. Tickets are mobile entry at $30 each. Discount for seniors, kids, etc. 6 floors of activities. Food court has reasonable prices. Gift shop is gull of fun gifts at reasonable prices. Anyone can take home something! Wheelchair and stroller accessible by elevator. Staff was welcoming.

5Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is one of the most popular Zoos in Northeast Ohio. The zoo has a wide range of attractions, including an African savanna, Asian highlands, Australian adventure, a lush rainforest and more. There are also 4D theaters and the Ben Gogolick Giraffe Encounter.
I love this zoo. You can see the care they put in for all the animals, from the new habitats for the tigers and leopards to the invertebrates in the Rainforest building everyone is so well cared for. Very clean and well landscaped too. I highly recommend buying your tickets in advance, or if you're local going in for the membership. It pays for itself in just a few visits and it's such an amazing organization to support.
A Dean — Google review
Excellent experience all around, would highly recommend! Exhibits were well laid out and cleaned, and other foliage/scenery was delightfully themed as well. Overall layout was quite good, although there could be some improvements on directional signage. The rainforest experience was excellent, wrapping up an amazing visit!

I have gone countless times in the last 6 months and I have still yet to see everything! Staff is always helpful and friendly and willing to speak with guests and it gives for a better experience. I know that the staff there work extremely hard and I appreciate all that they do. I definitely bring family and friends of all ages there everyone can have a great time.

6Great Lakes Science Center
Children's museum
The Great Lakes Science Center is a fascinating destination for explorers of all ages. Here, visitors can explore hundreds of hands-on exhibits that help them understand the science behind everything from rock music to parachutes. There's also a Cleveland Creates Zone where kids can launch rockets and build light sculptures. And if you're looking for something more educational, the Biomedtech Gallery has exhibits on stem cells, medical imaging, and prosthetics.
Even though I am an adult and this is geared more towards kids, I loved every moment of it. The staff were wonderful, there were so many hands on learning experiences. I have nothing bad to say about my experience.
Catelin Robinson Millhouse — Google review
It's a great place to take the kids and keep them occupied for a while. Lots of interesting exhibits for them that are hands on. The staff is very friendly. Only 4 stars though, because there's quite a few exhibits that need some TLC and are either only working partly or not at all.
Lars Altvater — Google review
We had a Case western social event and we had more fun walking around the science center. It was a worth it trip down the lane. Entertainment packed and activities to kick the adrenaline exactly the right amount. A must visit!

7Greater Cleveland Aquarium
The Greater Cleveland Aquarium is a must-see destination for tourists in Cleveland, Ohio. The aquarium has over fifty exhibits spread out over eight galleries, with favorites like the Touch Pool featuring sting rays and the Sea Tube allowing visitors to get up close and personal with sharks. The downtown area of Cleveland is also home to attractions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Progressive Field. Terminal Tower on the east side has an observation deck that offers panoramic views of the city.
We went to visit the aquarium in winter'2020 and had a wonderful experience there. As you enter, the high rise ceiling will catch your attention, the lightwork hanging from the top is pretty. There are short descriptions written as you proceed further - how the aquarium was built etc. To me, old parts of a factory were recycled in wonderfully creative ways to build different water bodies, then they were illuminated with suitable colored light and bit-by-bit the aquarium was built of. The shark tank is obviously the most attractive zone. There's a small shopping place to buy soft toys, t-shirts, mugs and different items. Free parking spots are available just in front of the main gate. A must visit with kids on the weekends.
Seema Nath — Google review
Had a blast here last week! Admission is $20 for adults, and you can buy tickets online (preferred method of admission as they seem to sell out of same-day tickets quickly in recent, social distancing times) or in person upon arrival. The fish were fascinating to look at, and the interactive stingray touch pool was quite a unique experience as well. My favorite part was the shark tunnel you walk through at the end of the aquarium.
Stephanie — Google review
My family of four (me, my husband and two stepsons who are 9 and 11) enjoyed our first experience at the greater Cleveland Aquarium. While it is small, the exhibits are well kept and clean. The boys loved being able to touch the stingrays and the tunnel aquarium section was really cool. The tunnel area did make me slightly dizzy though so just a word to the wise. My favorite part was watching the jellyfish. They are just so pretty and calming. The actual building itself is stunning! I love all of the brick. We are excited to return to the aquarium in the future.

8West Side Market
Fresh food market
West Side Market is a historic public market in Cleveland, Ohio that features 100 vendors selling meats, seafood, fruits vegetables, baked goods dairy, flowers and food. It's a great spot to buy all your groceries and snacks for the week!
A former train station turned into a market full of local vendors slinging meats and sweets. After your drive over the Hope Memorial Bridge, you turn right into the parking lot. The first 90 minutes are free and it's only $1/hour after that. A welcome surprise. You'll first walk into the produce building with vendors selling their tantalizing fruits and hearty vegetables. Once you make it halfway down the corridor, you will see doors to your left to crossover to the rest of the market. Walking in through the double doors, you are greeted by intoxicating aromas. Look up and you will see the beautiful, high ceiling of the former train station. The place is absolutely packed with local meats and sweets. Many of the vendors sell raw meat and fish for your home cooking needs, while the rest provide ready to order snacks and meals. Stalls that caught our eye: local pasta, crepes, hot sauce, cannolis, gyro stand and an Irish bakery. We split up and grabbed a gyro from Steven's Gyros (featured on Man versus Food) and a sausage roll and meat pie from the Irish bakery. There aren't many places to sit, but if you go to the west end, you can head up the stairs and get a great view of the market. We stuffed our faces, got a picture and then headed down to grab snacks for the rest of the weekend. We loaded up on local cheese, flavored beef jerky, hot sauce and baked goods. All of which were sensational.
Kyle Goodman — Google review
Worth visiting! Very cool location with a fun atmosphere. We loved most everything we got. Especially all the items we got from the various bakery's! Unfortunately, most of the produce we bought was old. Our garlic was sprouted, once I got home and cut into it, and the ginger molded with in a day. Neat experience, but I wasn't super impressed.
Lauren Strobel — Google review
Enjoyed the West Side market. Haven't been here in years. Everything in the area is so different but I'm glad that this lil gem is still there and hope that more local vendors continue the tradition. Prices were competitive. Some vendors allow you to even try some of the fruits. Like the fact that you can select the specific pieces of meats you want to purchase. Would go again.

9The Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cleveland Museum of Art is a popular place to visit in Ohio with 45,000 pieces of art spanning 6,000 years. The exhibit is organized chronologically which allows visitors to see the development of famous and brilliant artists over time. There's also an activity zone for children that they will love.
Beautiful place. Many different exhibits to enjoy for free. At this time you must wear a mask(no big deal they offer free ones if you forget). Great collection of Armour, swords and other artifacts from that Era. Lots 0f real cool Hindu and Buddhist carvings, tablets and sculptures. Second time going spent some time walking through the parks leading to the museum is definitely also worth the effort. Will definitely make time to go again if I'm anywhere close. Loved it .
Frederick Roughton — Google review
A wonderful gem in Cleveland. They have an extensive collection of different kinds of art, ranging from the armor collection to Baroque. They also have a nice gift shop and cafe that you can stop in on your way out. The architecture inside and outside are works of art themselves. The best part…it's free! All of the employees I've encountered have been very friendly and informative as well. A great way to spend an afternoon.
Liz — Google review
A fun and interactive experience. I was amazed by all the beautiful pieces they had, just in pure awe. Hands down an amazing experience as soon as you walk in the door. A must see in Cleveland and Free!! Great place to spend all day, enjoy the Cafe and gift shop and a good place to bring kids or go with friends. Very welcoming staff available to share details or answer any questions.

Lake View Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Cleveland and is home to many impressive memorials, tombs, and sculptures. It is favored by wealthy families during the Gilded Age, and was founded back in 1869. Its grounds and gardens are located just east of the University Circle.
This is the most beautifully manicured cemetery I've ever been to, which is a lot. This is gorgeous in every season but late spring or fall are the most incredible with the colors.

Went to see Wicked. Was a great play and staff was friendly. Everyone had a mask and was asked to show vaccination card. Line to get in went quickly if you were ready with the document. Concession is expensive. 15 for a soda and pretzel but was tasty. I had higher seats so wasn't as detail but could see the Actors fairly well. Hanna theatre was PACKED. So imagine waiting 10 to 15mins for a bathroom break. Use the restroom prior to play. Overall such a beautiful theatre!
Dayana Gomez — Google review
Playhouse Square is home to some of the most elegant, beautiful and ornate theaters in the world. I have been to the famed Pantages Theater in Toronto and the playhouses in Cleveland are more impressive, beautiful and spectacular than Pantages. The architecture and design is elegant and rich. There are several different playhouses in one huge building, which enables them to host multiple events at one time. We have seen several plays, ballets, orchestras, concerts and more over the years. It is always a splendid event no matter what you see.

12USS COD
This WWII submarine is preserved as a moving memorial and museum in Cleveland, Ohio. Visitors can explore the submarine's original hatchways, ladders and other features while learning about its history during the Second World War and Cold War. The USS Cod was impressively awarded seven battle stars during WWII.
Always feels great to visit a historical vessel of WW2. The staff were friendly and even helped answer questions from within the ship. I gave a glimpse of life what sailors went through working in the ship. I mean looking at the beds makes you feel so grateful for anyone who worked in a submarine. The place is clean, well maintained and audio clips inside the ship wad amazing. Kids would definitely Italy love this place, especially the gun that is mounted on the top of the submarine. I'll recommend this place.

My boys were even entertained by the doll houses because of the competition to find the logo hidden in each one. Appreciate the heavy-duty waterproof coat/aprons available

14Progressive Field
Arenas & Stadiums
The Progressive Field stadium is home to the Cleveland Indians, a Major League Baseball team. The stadium offers visitors a modern and comfortable environment in which to watch their home team play ball. There are great ride-on toys for toddlers and 3D player cutouts where children can have their photo taken.
My first visit to Progress Field and I must attempt I enjoyed the layout of the ball park and the ease of getting around. I was there for Sox v. Guardians game and reserved the Club seats which included all you can eat buffet and restricted access. The food was typical low end buffet food but the experience was great. I don't think there is a bad seat in the place, however the club seat are wider and offer indoor climate controlled tables with the buffet. Unfortunately, Sox lost!!
Awesome place to go watch some baseball. Never had any issues with fans even when I'm rooting for my White Sox. I've only been over satisfied when attending a game at Progressive fied. The fireworks are like nothing I've ever seen anywhere else. Fireworks are a must see!!

It features rotating exhibits by national and international artists as well as local Cleveland artists. The museum is also home to a number of interesting educational programs and performances.
Terry Joshua's "The Pinkest Hue" is a experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. I enjoyed every aspect of the exhibit from the moment I walked in I was greeted by the very friendly staff who directed me to the exhibit I also was greeted by the legend himself Mr. Joshua with such kindness and generosity. I have visited many exhibits before but this one specifically has accomplished something in which many of the others haven't which was touch my soul,heart and mind. The whole experience was very enjoyable from the vivid colors, powerful imagery ,heart felt poems and the synonymous themes showed through out his art work. The exhibit had such a profound effect on me that I revisited the exhibit for a second time. I feel truly blessed to have had the chance to experience the exhibit and it's something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
Tavaris White — Google review
The Pinkest Hue was truly an inspiration. It revealed the truth that anything you want, is indeed achievable. Terry himself is destined for success, he warmly welcomed everyone and was extremely thrilled to further explain each piece with guests. Behind each piece of art was a piece of himself, his vulnerability/transparency is what I admired most about this whole exhibit/experience. As for his talent, it speaks for itself and I am excited for what's next.

16Western Reserve Historical Society
This museum features exhibits on regional industrial, social, and sports history. It is one of the oldest cultural institutions in Cleveland and its main aim is to provide visitors with an idea about Northeast Ohio's history. There are various galleries that hold different types of exhibitions, from art to historical documents.
Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood hosts a host of first class museums and the Western Reserve Historical Society is one of them. The museum houses an eclectic collection of objects about, made in or sometimes just owned by prominent Clevelanders of yore. The museum assembles exhibits that change not infrequently. When I visited, the Women in Politics display was featured as well as Amanda Wicker-Black Fashion Design in Cleveland. This summer they are featuring jazz performances in Thursday evenings, in the central garden court if the weather permits. Evelyn Wright put on a well attended performance on 10 June 2021. The model Terminal Tower is a beautifully crafted piece of furniture. They have a two story tall illuminated Cleveland Indian batting in the entrance hall. There is a grand statue of Commodore Perry that is sure to inspire patriotic pride in the victor of the Battle of Lake Erie. The gondola from the Goodyear blimp.

Easily the best museum to visit while visiting Cleveland. The Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS) museum houses the famous Crawford Auto and Aviation Collection and the Cleveland History Center. There is also a small Library in case you want to look up historical documents of from the Western Reserve era. With your museum entrance ticket, you get access to all the exhibits along with two ride tickets for the Euclid Beach Carousel that will be sure to be a hit with the young ones (or those that are young at heart). Although there are other museums in the museum area, the WRHS is uniquely Cleveland, and can't be found anywhere else in the world. Thus, the highest recommendation from us.

Edgewater Park is a beautiful 147-acre park located in Cleveland, OH. It features beaches, a pier for fishing and a yacht club. The park is great for picnickers, swimmers, and people who enjoy water sports. There are also several picnic areas perfect for families to gather.
This has become a very popular park in Cleveland for good reason. I'd never been, but we finally visited during the summer when visiting my parents. It's a pretty long park. There's a beach as well as plenty of park area. We started out down by the beach which was really pretty. Then we went up by the Cleveland sign which I preferred. Other than right by the sign, there were less people up there. There are also beautiful skyline views and plenty of shade. If you haven't been, this park is a must in the summer.

This park is gorgeous! It is so big and surprisingly so clean too. Lots of picnic room or room to kick around a ball. Swimming area looked great, although it was still way to cold to utilize that when we were here. People were fishing from the rocks too. It was such a relaxing day. The pier is also pretty cool… it really feels like you're at the ocean.

I was at Edgewater during a snow storm and it was a blast. The roads and paths were largely free of slow and ice and it's a great place to experience the frozen lake. Always has done great views of downtown as well. Highly recommend walking out onto the lake and savoring a definitive Cleveland winter experience! Just make sure you layer up because there's no protection from the wind here!

The Hyatt Regency Cleveland is located on the top of the mall and features 293 smoke-free guest rooms, lobby fireplace that warms guests during cold winters, and full-service spa to help end your day with a relaxing feeling.
Very classy and upscale hotel and indoor shopping venue. When we went there there was someone planning a wedding there so that my be something they do there as well. Looks like a older elegant train station feel to it.
My daughter and I stayed in a room at The Arcade. When we walked into the main area we were in awe. So beautiful. Our room was very nice. It was a bit more modern than what the lobby/arcade area looks like. There was a wedding party getting photos in the main area so we weren't able to walk around too much. If you are ever in downtown Cleveland you need to just walk through this area. It is truly stunning.

22Kimpton Schofield Hotel
The Kimpton Schofield Hotel is a luxurious hotel in Cleveland's downtown district. The hotel features polished rooms and suites, a 24-hour gym, and loaner bikes for exploring the city. Guests can enjoy complimentary wine hour each evening, as well as a variety of unique amenities such as the on-site game room and petting zoo.
I enjoyed my stay here. Nice rooms offering ample space & large bathroom. Stay was friendly and accommodating. Best part was I could bring my furry dogs. I will stay here again. I think the only negative were linens were lacking. i found a few holes in towels and sheets. They also did not smell really clean but I find that at most hotels. The smell of fresh linens is wonderful but these smelled like they have been sitting in a closet for months after being cleaned. I think their laundry service company could do better ;)

Our best Cleveland hotel experience thus far! Great location (within walking distance to the casino and tons of restaurants and bars), fun, boutique-style decor in lobby and rooms, and very clean. Everything seems fresh and modern. Complimentary wine hour was also a nice bonus! Valet parking is fairly pricey at $40 a night, but there's a parking garage right around the corner that we used for $14 a night.

The staff was awesome from valet to the front desk. I love that it was pet friendly. They even made a personalized tag for my hotel door with my dogs name on it. The hotel smelled clean and the rooms were nice. The only complaint which was very unacceptable is our sheets and comforter had brown hard stains on them. Very gross the staff did bring more bedding however the staff who cleaned the room should have never left or used soiled bedding! Very unsanitary.

Public Square is a large and popular park in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It's modeled after similar squares in 18th-century New England, and features a memorial, a splash pad, seasonal skating rink, food trucks, and screamers from the 2012 Marvel film The Avengers.
Absolutely incredible views and a lot of activities to do. The area has come alive in the past few years and it's almost like old Cleveland again… Original Cleveland….. The city is bouncing back and it's very apparent when you visit this area. A lot of beautiful views of old historic buildings to incredibly massive modern skyscraper, The nearby lake with its beaches and views, and all the diversity and energy. Definitely worth visiting!!

This is one place in cleveland you should not miss. At first I didn't think i would enjoy this but, there is a lot to learn from this place. There is a garden for each country and most of the gardens have architecture that represents that country and statues of great people with interesting facts about them. Before visiting this place, I didn't know Nikola Tesla was serbian and so is Einstein's wife. So this place gives you a chance to explore culture and also learn something new. The gardens are also well maintained. This place is best visited during summer and spring.

The area is full of traffic, so parking can be a struggle. However, that minor problem is made up for with the immense beauty and scenery! This serene location is great for simple walks, relaxing and taking ones mind off of the troubles of the world, and it is a great place for photoshoots! I've been here more than once now, and even though it's a distance from where I live, it is much closer to where I work so I hope to stop by more often and walk along to see even more gardens.

Joan Shaw Propst '46
December 21, 2021 hstauder Leave a comment
After a happy and adventuresome life, Joan Pierson Shaw Propst, passed away on September 7, 2021. Joanie was a dedicated wife, mom, grandma, great grandma and horsewoman.
Joanie was born in 1929 to Kenneth and Margery (Field) Shaw and raised in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Joanie had a love of horses early on. She babysat, weeded tobacco and picked strawberries among other jobs, to earn money for a horse. One of her later horses was trained to pull a cart, so she drove her brother to summer camp in order to save gas due to gas rationing during World War ll. Joanie was determined to move "out west" for college and to marry a cowboy. Much to her mom's worries, Joanie boarded the train for Colorado A&M (now CSU, Fort Collins) to graduate with a degree in Animal Science. She did meet her cowboy, Allen Douglas Propst. Together they helped to get a rodeo arena built and organize college rodeos and other events. Joanie was the rodeo's "All Around Cowgirl" in 1949.
Married in 1950, Doug and Joanie worked on various ranches in Colorado and Montana, before accepting the opportunity to take over ranch management for the Santa Catalina Island Company. Interviewed in Chicago in the Wrigley building, the Propsts moved sight unseen to Santa Catalina Island. When they got off the boat, the prospects didn't look too great as the island was horribly overgrazed, but they stuck it out to make the improvements. There is a whole lot more to this story, but suffice it to say, that it was really rewarding in many ways, challenging in others.
Joanie was well-known for raising Welsh show ponies, teaching riding lessons and establishing the Catalina Island Pony club of which she was the District Commissioner. She was also in the egg business, providing eggs to island residents. Joanie provided endless hours and effort in support of Doug's efforts in improving Catalina's interior, and later in getting the Catalina Conservancy up and running. Joanie made countless jeep tour lunches, and buffalo stews for range tour groups. After 44 years, Joanie and Doug retired to Modoc County to be closer to family and also to not have to ride any more cross channel boats or ocean going barges.
Joanie was predeceased by husband Doug, and granddaughter Jessica Younger Dickens. Left to celebrate a life well-lived are her brother Ken Shaw '51, sister Margery Shaw '58; daughters Susi Younger(Jay), Barbie Read(Dick), Robin Paine, (Ernie); grandchildren; Ruby Uhart(Domingo), Elizabeth Younger, Doug Paine(Kristin) and three great grandchildren; Marcus Uhart, Hadley Paine, and Walker Paine.
private family celebration will be held. Please remember Joanie in your own way. If you wish, donations in remembrance can be made to: Santa Catalina Island Pony Club, PO Box 395, Avalon, California 90704. This pony club is an affiliate of the United States Pony Club which encourages children to have a knowledge of horses as they become good riders. The Catalina Pony Club appreciates funds to help sponsor local kids who aren't able to afford riding lessons.

Corinne Rogers Honkalehto, of Hamilton, NY – beloved mother and friend, dedicated swimmer, reader, gardener, and crossword aficionado – died peacefully in her sleep on March 29, 2018, at her daughter's home in Boise, Idaho, after several months battling heart failure and vascular disease. She was 89.
Corinne was born to Virginia Thompson Rogers and Reginald B. Rogers on March 9, 1929, in Manhasset, NY, and grew up in the Long Island town of Huntington. She and her sister Judy attended Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn, NY, while their mother attended library school at Pratt Institute. Later the family moved to Northampton, MA, when her mother became Head of Circulation for Nielson Library at Smith College. Corinne graduated from Smith in 1950 with an A.B. in Sociology and later earned a Masters in Library Science from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
Corinne's professional librarian positions included school, business and academic settings. While working as a reserves librarian at MIT in Cambridge, MA, she met a handsome Finn from Quincy, MA, Oswald Honkalehto, who was pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics. They married in 1953 and lived in Brookline, MA, and also in Princeton, NJ, while Ozzie worked at Princeton University. In 1957, they moved to Pittsburgh, PA, (Carnegie Mellon) where their daughter, Taina, was born, and next to East Lansing, MI, (Michigan State) where their 2nd daughter, Liisa, was born.
In 1962, Ozzie was recruited to teach Economics at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY, where they settled as part of a cohort of young faculty who arrived in the 1960s – most of whom raised families and stayed in Hamilton for many years. Corinne worked as full-time mom, then on and off in the Colgate Language Lab, as a substitute librarian at Hamilton Central School, and as librarian at the American Management Association. She also served on the board of the Hamilton Public Library.
The family enjoyed playing tennis, spending summers at Colgate Camp, Old Forge, and Speculator, NY, with close family friends, and visits with relatives and friends on Cape Cod. Corinne and their daughters also accompanied Ozzie to England over several fall semesters with the Colgate London Economics study group. Later, after he retired the two of them enjoyed many trips to New York City, to Europe and elsewhere with the MIT Alumni Association, and on South American and south Pacific voyages aboard the Queen Mary II.
Corinne was active in the women's Hamilton Fortnightly Club, and she loved swimming almost anywhere, especially in the ocean or with friends at the Colgate pool. In addition to tennis and swimming, she played guitar and sang, and later took up the piano. She enjoyed dancing, reading books, traveling, and became a master at Sunday New York Times crossword puzzles.
Corinne was thoughtful, kind, and patient, and delighted in experiencing both the quiet outdoor beauty around her in Hamilton and the culture of world cities. She maintained strong friendships with long-time friends, and welcomed new friends from her travels with ease. Her last years were spent enjoying reading, movies and art in Hamilton, Manhattan, Boise and Seattle with her daughters and their friends. She had a knack for remembering little jokes and rhymes, and she shared them with family, friends and caregivers into her last days.
Corinne was preceded in death by her husband, Oswald, in 2013, and sister, Judith Rogers Atwood '45, of Kingston, RI, in 2001. She is survived by her daughters, Taina Honkalehto (Ed Melvin), of Seattle, WA, and Liisa Rogers, of Boise, ID, and two nieces.
The family wishes to thank Treasure Valley Hospice of Nampa, ID, for their expert care and services during her last weeks.
A remembrance gathering for Corinne will be held in Hamilton in late spring or early summer 2018.

400-year-old Books Return to Germany
Diane Haddad October 6, 2009
As a sign of "friendship and trust," the US returned two 16th-century books to Germany today. The tomes were taken by an 18-year-old soldier in 1945, who came across the books in a salt mine in Ransbach, Hessen. He was amazed by the stash—about 2 million books plus 200...
As a sign of "friendship and trust," the US returned two 16th-century books to Germany today. The tomes were taken by an 18-year-old soldier in 1945, who came across the books in a salt mine in Ransbach, Hessen. He was amazed by the stash—about 2 million books plus 200,000 costumes from the State Opera of Berlin were there, sent underground in 1944 to protect the treasures from incoming troops. (An estimated 15 million books were destroyed in Germany during WWII.) Salt mines were a favorite place to stash valuables because of the mineral's ability to absorb moisture.
Robert Thomas, of Chula Vista, CA, said he was returning the books after six decades "because it's the right thing to do." The US Acting Archivist Adrienne Thomas and German Ambassador Klaus Schiaroth exchanged the books from 1573 and 1593 today in a ceremony in Washington, DC.
US Ambassador J. Christian Kennedy, the US State Department's special envoy for Holocaust issues, thanked Thomas for returning the volumes, according to the statement.
"I hope his decision to take this step will serve as an example for others in this country and elsewhere to step forward and return such items displaced during World War II," he said.

It was an unequivocal win for the bulls last week, as the major equity benchmarks finished with gains of more than 2% apiece. Nevertheless, after two-plus years of improving price action, naysayers continue to find reasons to doubt this rally.
Therefore, there are many alleged sell signals available to determine whether we should brace for an imminent pullback -- and an option-based indicator that needs to be kept an eye on -- discussed in this article.
"... the assets entrusted to the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures exchange-traded note (VXX) has increased by $746 million, or 94%, this year, to $1.54 billion. This is a fund that increases in value along with the price of implied market volatility, known more colloquially as disaster insurance. So, about three-quarters as much net cash has found its way to a fund that profits from spikes in U.S. market volatility as has been sent to funds that attempt to profit from rising equity-market values."
Last week the significance of a noticeable small-cap decline simultaneous with the S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,404.17) achieving a one-year high, and observed that those calling for a broader-market pullback based on this divergence had history against their side, was discussed. And after a roughly 30-point rally in the SPX last week, following four days of strong advances the week prior, those who bought into the "small-cap divergence" bearish argument felt the pain.
Research has proven that many of these concerns are misguided and, in fact, ranged between being spotty in their track record (the steep VIX futures curve) to having bullish implications (small-cap divergence when SPX hits new high).
There is still evidence, per the flows into the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) and the bearish Yahoo Finance headline excerpted above, that short-term players are preparing for a correction, suggesting short covering and sideline money is still available to play the "trend is your friend" trade. In fact, one of the indicators discussed in "3 Signs a Market Sell-Off Is Coming Soon" was that more than 65% of stocks are trading above their 40-day moving averages, definitely not a sell signal.
When studying the historical implications of 85% of SPX components trading above their 40-day moving averages, there was no evidence that this indicator is anything to be alarmed about. The average return following a signal was flat going out to two months, but the percentage of positive returns was higher than the SPX's at-any-time expected returns since 2000.
Last week, some traders and investors were upset and disappointed about the CBOE Market Volatility Index's drop below 15 as a sign that complacency had set into the market, leaving stocks vulnerable. However, looking closely at this situation, that even with the VIX below 15, it was still significantly above actual SPX volatility, which is around 10. And, upon further examination into VIX declines below 15 after spending a long time above this level, once again, it is to be found that nothing particularly alarming is in the historical data.
So, while some technical indicators being bandied about among cautious traders suggest a pause could be imminent -- not a sell-off, as advertised – with further investigation it is evident how expensive 10% out-of-the-money puts on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) have become relative to 10% out-of-the-money calls recently. The chart below shows the percentage by which the put is above the call implied volatility for 10% out-of-the-money options expiring in April. The last time out-of-the-money puts were priced this high relative to calls was early March 2011, and a correction of less than 10% occurred before the market quickly recovered. Bulls can take comfort that this skew has rolled over significantly in recent days, but the market hasn't sold off like it did in early 2011.
Therefore, even though some technical indications are being thrown around as corrective warnings - sell signals, yet with deeper research and practical understanding on these same indicators suggests a pause could be at hand, but not necessarily a correction. Sideways, choppy action within the current uptrend would not be a surprise, as the SPX battles the round-number 1,400 area concurrent with the S&P MidCap 400 Index (MID - 1,000.73) making its second run in as many years at the 1,000 millennium mark. Overall, this appears to be still a favorable environment for the bulls.

Q: regex give me output only if iswhitespace character after searching word Simple question how modify this regex that give me fredro after av. ? now if in my text isn't any whitespace it doesn't work, when i add space it works.
My regex: ((av\.|avenue\.)\s?)(\w.+?\s)
example
And if i add whitespace it works. So it is  fine but i want when isn't whitespace it works also. Also if the output will be some text av.fredro. or some text av.fredro, it should give me fredro, but now it isn't. Or if i have:some text av fredro some text another av example1 text text avenue example2 should give me fredro,example1,example2. Any idea? I'm not good in regex.

A: You can just use this regex:
\b(avenue|av)\b\.?\s?(\w+)

The British Columbia government has released guidelines it says will lead it toward the goal of reducing the province's overall poverty rate by 25 per cent and child poverty by 50 per cent within the next five years.
Shane Simpson, the minister of social development and poverty reduction, says the province's first-ever poverty reduction strategy called TogetherBC takes an approach that involves all of the government to assist the 557,000 people who are living in poverty.
He says TogetherBC's programs, policies and initiatives tie together investments launched in the fall of 2017 and are being implemented over three budgets.
He says they include a focus on safe and affordable housing, cutting child-care costs for low-income families and raising income and disability assistance rates.
Simpson says his ministry alone will offer more than $800 million in support to people by 2022 and while those programs and other plans won't end poverty, the NDP government is confident the strategy will help some of B.C.'s poorest.
Simpson made the comments Monday flanked by several anti-poverty and social service experts at a child care resource centre in Surrey.

Rising Through the Ranks to Achieve Engineering Excellence
"Finding solutions to the many challenges we face on a day-to-day basis is very rewarding. The greater the challenge, the greater the feeling of satisfaction and, working with such a great team is a joy."
"Starting out as an apprentice engineer for Hines in November 2000 and now being the Engineering Manager for the residential component of CityCenterDC in the nation's capital, shows that the company recognizes hard work and promotes from within," stated Frank with his usual humility and a hint of pride.
While working on eight different Hines properties over the past 22 years, he earned a reputation as an engineer who knows how to identify and solve problems. That reputation garnered a number of promotions and requests for his service by several property managers.
Frank workedin engineering operations at CityCenterDC's two high-end apartment buildings and two high-end condominium buildings, accounting for a total of 674 units. Located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C., the eight-acre, 2.5-million-square-foot, mixed-use project also includes office and retail space plus a central plaza, a public park and a planned luxury hotel.
"Managing residential properties was a different and exciting experience for me, as I had only worked in office buildings previously," Frank explained.
He came on board at CityCenterDC in July 2013 while construction was still underway to identify equipment issues and develop punch lists. During the start-up process, Frank worked efficiently and effectively with two outside property management firms. He fine tuned the systems for optimum performance and problem solving. He and his team did such an outstanding job that the condominium association board requested that Hines perform maintenance for individual units. As a result, Hines was awarded its first in-unit maintenance contract in the firm's East Region.
Since then, Frank moved to engineering operations at Constitution Center, one of the largest privately-owned buildings in Washington D.C. with approximately 1.4 million rentable square feet. The building, which sits on a full city block, is occupied only by federal agencies such as The Office of the Controller of the Currency (OCC), The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and General Services Administration (GSA).
A devoted family man and avid cyclist, Frank enjoys tackling tough challenges in the workplace. "Finding solutions to the many challenges we face on a day-to-day basis is very rewarding. The greater the challenge, the greater the feeling of satisfaction and, working with such a great team is a joy," said Frank with a smile.

I got this book in Denver, CO. It's a great town and the Tattered Cover is a great, independent bookstore. It was displayed prominently at the entrance because it was the "One Book, One Denver" offering at the time. Arvin is a Denver resident with roots in the Midwest (he went to U of M). I'm a damn fool for some local flavor so I grabbed it.
This is a story about the horrors of war; World War II in fact. It's about a fictional kid named George Tilson who lands in France and makes his way across many battlefields dodging German bombs and bullets. Early on, he doesn't separate himself as a proficient fighter and barely fires a shot. He spends most of his time beating himself up for being afraid.
There was good reason to be afraid. Large chunks of the book are devoted to describing just how awful it is be in battle. He spends his time in dirty foxholes and is always on the brink of starvation. He sees fellow soldiers get shot, blown up by booby traps, and killed by freak mishaps. There is some hope. In the background and often on his mind is a woman he met during his first week in France. Here name is Claire.
On the violent front, his desire to leave the battleground and find Claire is so great that he raises his hand above the cover of a brick wall hoping to get shot and thus get a ticket out of the war. He takes a flesh wound but it's not enough to get him sent home. Even worse, shortly thereafter he gets chosen to participate on a firing squad chartered to execute a deserter named Private Eddie Slovik.
The picture of Eddie Slovik struggling to stand after being shot by the firing squad haunts Tilson for the rest of the war. I think it basically desensitizes him to everything in life. This allows him to finish out the war as a respectable fighter and he even volunteers to hang around after the war to help rebuild. He is so desensitized that he even ignores Claire after noticing her in a line of beggars holding a baby. He finds out shortly after from Claire's father that she was raped by a Nazi.
The last scene finds Tilson in the bunkhouse when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door but nobody is there. Then he hears the crying of a baby. It's Claire's baby girl and note requesting that Tilson take care of her.
The book ends there, leaving the open ended question of whether Tilson has the emotional fortitude take the child in. I'd like to think that he did so and that it changed his outlook for the rest of his life.
Arvin's inspiration for this book appears to have come from another book called The Execution of Private Slovik. According to the book, Private Slovik was the only deserter during the war to pay the ultimate price of death. It was even made into a movie with Martin Sheen. Check out some of the reviews on Amazon of the movie, it seems to have stoked some passions.
It's not light reading. I may have to get the movie.

i wish no one was ever called "crazy"
within the palm of His hand He saw an unborn child in His mind: A poet, My daughter, beloved, sister, made in My image, My bride.
she would read and write to escape.
She would dream of writing her story and having her own book in her hands one day.
"La Hija de Nadie" by Yolanda del Rio.
Where are we going, why are we going? I don't know, and I don't care. All I know is I am languishing in the car like an abandoned snail without its shell, we are stuck in traffic but this is not an ambulance; it's my stepdad's white Suzuku. My mom tries consoling me from the front seat she goes on to sing the song by Los Tigres del Norte, "Un día a la vez, Dios mío/ es lo que pido de ti/ dáme la fuerza para vivir/ un día a la vez/ Ayer ya pasó, Dios mío/ mañana quizas no vendrá/ dáme la fuerza para vivir/ un día a la vez"
I feel like Jesus is going down to hell again to rescue the souls that belonged to Him, including me. I felt like the whole world was suffering spiritually, and that I especially was being preyed upon by the Enemy of souls for some reason.
I wasn't hungry yet ate as if I had to eat for the poor children of the world, "Eat for your Great-grandmother in Honduras who loves you so much," Mom coaxed me to drink and eat and Horchata and half a hamburger.
I saw a great eagle out there in the arid mountains. This dark eagle was to my left. To my right, I imagined a great white eagle: it was the battle between evil and the Light; I was caught in between.
Waiting for a doctor in the check-up room at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
My Dad massaged my back for a while, in the check-up room at Harbor because I was tense from hardly ever sleeping. My Dad's hands soothed me as if he had secret powers. After the massage, my Dad revealed something wrapped up in a white napkin, from his cap with his keys, pen, and cell phone. It was the half of some kind of sandwich. It was for me. It was so good, I ate slowly to not waste it. I told my mom this was the best food I had ever tasted, and really I meant it. My mom remarked to my dad about how much I loved him that even this simple salami with Swiss cheese sandwich was the best thing ever for me.
Finally a doctor came. He asked me questions I could not answer as I was in a daze, so my parents answered for me. As the doctor with nice blue eyes drew blood from my left arm, I hallucinated a lion with wings in my blood and other things, floating beneath my skin. They were testing my blood to see if I had any drugs in my system. I knew I didn't. What I had was on a spiritual level, and not on a tangible one. I can still recall the moment the needle was poked beneath my skin. This pain was nothing compared to the pain I had had to endure on those sleepless paranoid nights back at the apartment on Vernon Street. My muscles were rigid, my neck tight, overall my body was stiff. I literally felt like there were demons inside my bones, ever since that old medicine-woman said, "she has the Devil," and didn't let me inside her house through the front door.
The following is a true story based on a strange phase in my life.
i am in love with love with love with life i am in love with light with sun with sight i am i am i am I Am are you are you? are you in LoVE too?


If we were to use the same methodology for calculating inflation that we used in 1980, it would show inflation today to be at 10% rate. We have simply modeled inflation away through the likes of "Hedonics" (my computer is ten time more powerful than it was ten years ago so it is deemed to have dropped in price by 90%) and "substitution" (the price of steak and chicken double in price but steak eaters will switch to eating chicken and therefore the price of their basket of goods has not gone up). Policy makers have many incentives for understating inflation. It reduces the amount of inflation adjustments to entitlement programs. It allows then to provide the illusion of real growth when that growth is really nothing more than inflation (a 10% inflation rate would turn our real growth of 4% for the last quarter into a contraction of 4%). It allows the central bank to keep interest rates low so that the government (and all other borrowers) can borrow at negative real interest rates (they get paid to borrow). The low interest rates also push up asset prices proving the ephemeral "wealth effect" (spending power over and above what their incomes alone could support). They started this back in the 1990's with tech stock bubble followed up with the housing bubble, and have since moved to the current everything bubble. We are now addicted to asset bubbles, because if they ever go way, our consumption and investment will once again be limited to our income alone – and level is WELL below where are now.
We are destroying the purchasing power of the masses. Those who the vast majority of the assets (top 10% maybe even top 1%) are offsetting that with massive wealth appreciation. The bottom 90% are probably much worse off. We are living in world where we should be experiencing massive deflation due to technology, automation, and efficiency improvements. Had central banks allowed that deflation to occur, the purchasing power of income would have been soaring over the last 30 years.
Using our current methodology for inflation, the purchasing power has declined by 33% over the past 20 years. Using the 1980 methodology, it has declined by more than 80%. If central banks had not been forcing inflation in a deflationary world, the purchasing power would have probably more than doubled due to declines the prices of goods and services.

Q: What's the equivalent for "rpm -qf " with the Python rpm library? # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/six.py
python3-six-1.12.0-r0

How do I use Python to query which package the file belongs to?

A: I've not found a direct call to the rpm database that gives in return the package providing a given file, so the better solution I've right now is the following:
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import rpm

CHECK_FILE = "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/six.py"

ts = rpm.TransactionSet()
mi = ts.dbMatch()
for h in mi:
    files = h['FILENAMES']
    if CHECK_FILE in files:
        print("{}-{}-{}".format(h['name'], h['version'], h['release']))
        break
