You know you’re in Cleveland when …


So our intern Iulia is in the United States visiting her cousin Mikhail in Cleveland. She went out for a coffee at a Starbucks and spotted this sign and was so taken aback that she snapped a picture with her iPhone. A bit fuzzy but you can read the sign. She sent it to me on email and asked, “Is all of America this dangerous?” I’ve assured her that in many other parts of the country the Starbucks do not need to post no-guns-allowed signs. Iulia wrote back saying she saw a sign very much like this one at the Natural History Museum too. All I can say is that I guess it’s great to see Cleveland making such an effort to create a few gun-free zones inside the city limits. It’s a step in the right direction. Take that, Detroit.
