Recently at Reason.tv: Mr. Carey Goes to Cleveland – Drew Carey and Nick Gillespie talk to the Cleveland City Council about how to save Cleveland

Reason Saves Cleveland with Drew Carey, a Reason.tv original documentary series that proposes viable solutions to some of Cleveland's biggest problems, premiered in March 2010. The release made the front page (twice) of the Cleveland Plain Dealer and ruffled the feathers of at least one local writer.

The film also caught the attention of the Cleveland City Council, who invited Drew and Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie to Cleveland to discuss the ideas raised in the documentary.

This short video is a collection of highlights from Drew and Nick's 2.5 hour conversation with the Cleveland City Council on May 27.

Approximately 10 minutes. Produced, shot and edited by Paul Feine and Alex Manning.

I spent a whole day there. Longest year of my life!

Pet rocks were a profitable fad in the 1970s. Maybe Drew Carey can lip-sync the song "Cleveland Rocks" as a commercial jingle for genuine rocks from Cleveland. If he can get enough people interested in them, the city can make some money that way.

I'm still stuck on the guy obsessed with sign regulations. It's extremely obvious the idea of dumping the regs is a totally alien concept to him.

I like the first few comments on the "Scene" site. They pretty much slam the writer for being shallow and vapid.

The Frank Lewis column is interesting: one the one hand he ridicules Messrs. Gillespie and Carey for their misplaced idealism, and responds by suggesting the real answer is for The People to Do Their Part. R-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght...
