Who was W.C. Reed? Tremont is fortunate to have a large green space--Lincoln Park--which serves to provide a community center to one Cleveland neighborhood.
My neighborhood has W.C. Reed Field, one of the most picturesque spots in the City of Cleveland, but largely unknown by our neighborhood.
Brooklyn Centre needs to protect it and make it our "Lincoln Park." Some of the best and brightest go to this school, which was "thrownaway" by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. HORIZON DENISON SCIENCE ACADEMY
How do we get a Field of Dreams in Brooklyn Centre? (Little known secret--Paul Alsenas, Jim Kastelic, Howard Maier, Andy Vidra and Jan Rybka played softball here. Believe it, or not, all great ball players).
and was also a 21st congressional district representative at the 1940 democratic convention, according to the politicalgraveyard.com website
Reed made it in an issue of Time Magazine on Sept 4, 1939 over the Cleveland mayoral elections
Traditionally Democratic Cleveland, Ohio last week found it must choose as its mayor in the October third primaries one of two Republicans, either incumbent Mayor Harold H. Burton or John O'Donnell of the School Board. Behind this novelty was a pretty piece of Democratic boggling. Two equally powerful party factions fought themselves into the ground, refused to compromise. Desperate leaders turned to the local version of Texas' Maury Maverick, Councilman William C. Reed, begged him to accept the nomination. On a strict "no strings" platform, Mr. Reed accepted tentatively, if a $25,000 campaign fund were raised without macing the utilities, gamblers, contractors, racketeers. Hampered by this restriction, leaders did not find enough funds. Mr. Reed withdrew promptly; filing-day came & went with no Democrats on the ticket
The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History cites him as the first chairman of the old Cleveland Transit System in 1943. (okay....im bored but I enjoyed finding that one)
Could it be the simple fact that one was submitted before the other? Or, could it be an explanation more complicated and sinister involving the "old," as in old mentality found in Ward 16? Did some OLD folks complain to KK that they didn't want any "old, POOR" people in THEIR ward? Was/is there any communication going on here between the duelling council reps? We sure don't get any information from either one of them in the form of a newsletter* and/or posting at our nominal CDC's monthly "news" paper put out by www.oldbrooklyn.com, and, it surely won't get any scrutiny from the PD.
*Kevin, why don't you use/abuse your franking privilege to explain this one to the residents of Ward 15? I know, I'll just ask the Mayor at the Meet the Mayor night at the Brooklyn Memorial Church on Archwood this MONDAY , July 21st at 6:00 p.m.
I once got a call from a very popular local softball league at the Brooklyn Centre library. When the coach realized he had the "wrong" library, he quickly got off the line, despite the fact that I could have given him the name of several outstanding athletes. I wonder why? We can do better. Did Brooklyn Centre get the green light on the NRP project , because we meet the "poverty" equation?

How ironic ?
Oh, DWeller, I can see that we are friends. Thank you for the information. This is insane. Follow the bouncing wrecking ball--why does Brian Cummins' lame-brained NRP senior development location, proposed on part of W.C.Reed Field, get funded (?!), and Kevin Kelley's more logical NRP senior development location get denied?
