#HappyInCLE, but for how long?

The denizens of Cleveland seem to have rallied around a particular hashtag recently. #HappyInCLE.  And there seems to be a fair amount of stuff to be happy about.

Cleveland held its first TEDxCLE which was a great success I’m told. Local boy done good-Michael Symon, is looking to expand his brand and in response to a recent negative Forbes Magazine article, one local businessman decide to create and sell t-shirts, benefiting the local food bank, while a celebrity is looking how to save Cleveland (and other cities) with a documentary series.

So far 2010 seems to have a lot more small businesses, groups, and events coming together for their hometown.  This kind of groundswell doesn’t come along that often, or last that long, so I’m hoping this continues to grow online and within the city itself letting a lot more people find reasons to be #HappyInCLE.
