Dear Jennifer,

Happy New Year to all of you CityProwlers out there! Winter has finally arrived in our city. While I throroughly enjoyed the warm weather we had recently, to be honest, I was getting nervous that at this rate, winter would be pushed back to April, because, with winter in Cleveland, it's not if, but when it starts. This issue of the CityProwl newsletter is an abbreviated one, just to wish you all a great 2007 and give you a quick update.

2006 was a fantistic launch year for CityProwl Cleveland and 2007 promises to bring more excitement. We are looking forward in the next few weeks to the 1,000th tour download! We are also busy little bees, working hard on the production of the third, fourth and fifth tours for release in late winter and early spring. And we have moved to a fun new spot downtown!

Even as the temperature drops, don't forget that the Arcades prowl offers a warm, comfy tour of the interiors of the 3 Euclid Avenue arcades. If you haven't done so already, get out the office at lunchtime, grab a bite in the food court and saunter around the promenade!

CityProwl Cleveland in the News

CityProwl Cleveland is again getting media buzz, this time an article in the November 2006 issue of Inside Business magazine. Lyndsey Walker profiles Jennifer as part of the magazine's Ohio Entrepreneur series.

CityProwl's Big Move

CityProwl Cleveland has set up shop in the eTech Hatchery, located on Star Plaza in Playhouse Square. The hatchery was established by the City of Cleveland's "Tech Czar" Michael DeAloia, as a business incubator for fledgling technology companies. CityProwl Cleveland is sharing space with Cleveland365.com, a website dedicated to providing digital content to Northeast Ohio's diverse urban population.

The eTech Hatchery is a 1 story, 650 sq ft. glass pavillion sitting on the western edge of Star Plaza. It used to house Playhouse Square's Ctix operation. If you are in the area, please drop by and say hello!

Production of the Warehouse District Tour is underway now, but we have 2 other tours that will follow soon after in March and April: Downtown Cleveland's Bank Lobbies and Public Square. Future newsletters will announce when each tour is uploaded to cityprowl.com, so if you are not on the mailing list, be sure to sign up.
