Episode #37: Angie Schmitt

What is the impact of Cleveland landing the 2016 GOP convention, and what sort of political narrative will result? Will the return of LeBron James bring jobs and economic development to NE Ohio? Is the Playhouse Square chandelier a smart investment or just tacky? We discuss all of this and more with Streetsblog’s Angie Schmitt.
