Smoke Signals


Unlike San Francisco, people still smoke in Cleveland. Some Clevelanders smoke and put on lipstick while walking at a brisk pace. (Technically, she's also giving me the finger, but I think it was inadvertent.) That's not easy to pull off. I really like this city. (Click photo to enlarge.)

  1. OMG. This is too funny!
    You are right about that finger, though maybe not about it being inadvertent.

    Thanks for a great laugh with this one.

  2. Flint had its own horrible smoke signals today -- Jackson Hardy house on Garland in Carriage Town burned to the ground, taking the Urban Alternatives House with it. Everybody's just heartsick.

Thanks for commenting. I moderate comments, so it may take a while for your comment to appear. You might enjoy my book about Flint called "Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City," a Michigan Notable Book for 2014 and a finalist for the 33rd Annual Northern California Book Award for Creative NonFiction. Filmmaker Michael Moore described Teardown as "a brilliant chronicle of the Mad Maxization of a once-great American city." More information about Teardown is available at www.teardownbook.com.
