Cleveland has art

 

Tifereth Israel, Willson Avenue Temple 1894-1924
Mount Zion Congregational 1924-1940
a Friendship Baptist 1940-2018?

It burned on August 21st, and demolition of outer walls was done quickly. This is the next morning, since then the arch was knocked down. The fire was started in several spots by three young people.  Only the name of a 19 year old has been made public, John McManamon. A foto was placed on the internet, and a photographer confirmed it was of the interior. He had taken fotos there previously. There was a grand piano & a modern casket. A lot was left behind. Yeah, the building was burned for shits & giggles.

A bullet went through the face of a bust of Taras Shevchenko in the Ukrainian Cultural Garden of Cleveland. The statue is not bronze, in the 1960s much bronze was taken from the gardens. This may have been painted fiberglass. Shevchenko was a painter and poet, and a former serf. Statues of Shevchenko have been vandalised in several countries. This act in Cleveland was reported in June. 

That yellow bicycle is a symbol for the Tour de France. The electric rent a scooters were placed to be ready for Sunday past yearly Cultural Gardens' festival.

Just newly finished mural by Arlin Graff of swallows is on a wall behind a bus shelter in Cleveland Heights.

This was on the street across from the mural, exhaust from the underground.
