    All in: Cleveland rocks as title drought ends with NBA crown By Tom Withers, Associated Press on 06.23.16 Word Count 828 Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (bottom) dunks past Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes during the second half of Game 5 of basketball's NBA Finals in Oakland, California, June 13, 2016. The Cavaliers won 112-97. They went on to win the championship. Photo: John G. Mabanglo, European Pressphoto Agency via AP, Pool CLEVELAND — More tears — only this time, tears of joy. Cleveland's championship drought, crossing 52 years, generations and noted by a long list of near misses, is over at last. On Father's Day, LeBron James, the kid from nearby Akron raised by a single mother, brought the title home. As the final seconds of Cleveland's 93-89 victory at Golden State in Game 7 ticked off on the giant scoreboard inside Quicken Loans Arena, 18,000 fans, some of them strangers when Sunday night began, cried, hugged, screamed and shared a moment many of them have spent a lifetime dreaming of. They then linked arms and shouted the words to Queen's "We Are The Champions," a song that seemed reserved only for others. For the first time since 1964, when the Browns ruled the NFL, Cleveland is a title town again. With James leading the way and winning MVP honors, the Cavs became the first team in NBA Finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Call it The Comeback. At 10:37 p.m., Cleveland finally exorcised decades of sports demons — the painful losses given nicknames like "The Drive" and "The Fumble" and "The Shot" — and became a title town for the first time since Dec.

  • REMIX Cleveland Page 1
    ClevelandEXECUTIVE SUMMARY EEMIXR R A MUSIC INDustry stuDY “Where words fail, music speaks” - Hans Christian Andersen EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This introductory quote speaks of the utility of music, but misses its pervasiveness in the various aspects of our lives. The art of music has contributed significantly to society. Music inspires us to move according to rhythms and express our emotions in keeping to the optimism of Mozart, the energy of Elvis Presley, the creativity of Miles Davis, and the innovativeness of Lady Gaga. Throughout history, music has helped people to worship, win wars, create communities, enhance dialogues, and prompt social change. From an economic perspective, music is not usually recognized as being influential. In the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, the new paradigm of economic growth has emphasized the significance of technological change and validated the importance of creativity to social change and economic development. However, because many people tend to think of music only as an amenity, the usefulness of music as an economic and community development engine is often overlooked. There is a growing awareness of the economic impact that a creative and entrepreneurial workforce can have on economic outcomes. Art, in all its forms, can provide a region with a “sticky,” or long-lasting, regional competitive advantage that is attractive to creative people. Regions can become commodities sold to people in packages relating the city’s history, arts, and cultural amenities. Despite this newly recognized awareness, the arts generally remain disassociated from the main economic development strategies of regions striving to improve and grow their economies.
