Like me, are you using the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority (GCRTA) to get to downtown Cleveland?
Here’s their map and information on their downtown stops.
Also, you can subscribe FOR FREE to their Commuter Alerts program here.
I have found their social media team is very responsive to inquiries. Follow them on Twitter: @GCRTA
BTW-If you happen to see me, say hi and let’s take a #selfie!
Showcasing some of the specialty teams in play for the upcoming RNC #RNCINFO
Press event yesterday morning to showcase all the equipment and teams that could be utilized and deployed out for next week’s Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland.
Cleveland Police Sgt Jen Ciaccia lead the effort that started at 0600.
After events in Dallas, the bomb robot was of great interest to everyone.
If you take the time to understand the technology, this is an invaluable piece of equipment to any police department.
Some reporters wanted to try to wear the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) suits.
NBC Nightly News Correspondent Jacob Rascon even hoped on the Mounted Unit to see what it was like to ride above the crowds.
Nice guy.
Don’t worry, Cleveland Police’s Mounted Unit doesn’t j-walk…
…like you, they use the cross walk.
Bike patrol officers from across the state including Blue Ash Police and Akron Police were out running training throughout the city.
It’s great to have so many law enforcement agencies working together to ensure safety for all participants.
Additionally, lots of pros working behind the scenes making magic happen.
Proud to have a so many Public Information Officers (PIOs) working together in the Cleveland Joint Information Center (JIC).
Looking forward to more fun tomorrow.
And yes, it’s t-minus 3 days…

Sharing a little history I learned this morning.
In 1924, the Republicans nominated then President Calvin Coolidge.
Then in 1936, the Republicans nominated Alf Landon to run against Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So third time RNC should be a breeze in hosting a large event like this one right?
RNC in t-minus five days…
Everyone’s talking about PokemonGo #PG
So far, this is making me feel guilty for abandoning my Second Life personna and my Tomagochi I got as a gift.
Pokemon Go is a free-to-play, GPS based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic for iOS and Android devices. It was initially released in July 2016. The game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual Pokemon who appear throughout the real world. Although the game is free-to-play, it supports in-app purchases. (Wikipedia)
Keep in mind, I did not grow up with Pokémon so I don’t think I have quite the attraction/ nostalgia to this game compared to others in the Nintendo targeted 19-34 age bracket.
However, this does show an interesting market shift as virtual reality aka augmented reality starts to integrate into our digital platforms seamlessly through social media. Oh yeah, the geolocation piece of this #gamification is total icing on the cake too.
Be safe and don’t get “lured” into something bad.
Where is @rusnivek?
