super duper

The Leader Building is now the Daily Planet.  

The Cleveland Leader was the main Republican paper from 1854 to 1917, and for most of that time it had the highest circulation in town. It was extremely nativist, and anti-Catholic. The Leader Bldg was completed in 1913, and the paper was sold to the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1917.

Movie security that has come to Cleveland has been known to act as jerks, and act beyond their bounds. But apparently, everyone on staff assumes authority over the public. I don't like being told by people WITHOUT the authority what to do. So, to-day after 7 pm on Superior Avenue downtown Cleveland, i was told by three different people in black, in succession, some carrying stuff: "You're not allowed to take pictures."  Me three times: "It's a public street".

Well, a cop wearing a Cleveland police uniform was near by. He said, where did i come from? He said he was looking down Superior. I pointed north on East 6th. I past him at a right angle. I engaged him in a short conversation. "You know there is no law prohibiting taking pictures on a public street", i said.  "You have to be on this side of the sign", he said. "You know the law", i said. "They pay me to do this", he said. "You know what is right", i said. He says his lips are locked, and makes the gesture of turning his hand and fingers before his lips. "I don't have a microphone here. You know what is right", i said. "I'm biting my lip", and so he did. He says, "Money makes the world go round", he said. "Yeah, unfortunately", and i walked away.

A fellow on fa$eb00k runs a group called "Visions of Metropolis", i was considering to name this post that.

Superior is now Concord (i didn't think so), E. 6th is Lee.
