Blog - Executive Arrangements

Welcome to ConnectToCLE!

Each week or so EA’s blog addresses various topics relevant to the people that we help. We work with companies and organizations to attract and welcome top talent to Northeast Ohio. We do this by connecting job candidates, new hires and their families to the people, places and lifestyle opportunities in Cleveland and Akron.

Our blog presents meaningful information about life in Northeast Ohio, relocation topics and trends in destination services. We answer both the common and uncommon questions that we hear from our clients and the people that we introduce, welcome and acclimate to Northeast Ohio.

And why ConnectToCLE? Because CLE is catchier than Northeast Ohio, Cleveland or Akron. But, rest assured! Our blog does address the entire seven county region we serve.

It’s a Jungle Out There: The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

In honor of EA’s 40th anniversary, I would like to share one of my favorite places in Northeast Ohio: the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Originally located in Wade Oval in 1882, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo used to be called Wade Park. Jeptha Wade donated land (and deer) to the City of Cleveland – the initial residents. In […]

What Makes Gordon Square Arts District Exceptional

I find it interesting when people call me a “pioneer” for opening Sweet Moses Soda Fountain & Treat Shop in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District. If they knew the area’s history of grassroots efforts, determined leaders, and visionary collaboration, they would know how much hard work was done before I began renovating our storefront building […]

Book It to Rocky River Public Library

I can’t imagine too much time going by without a visit to a library. We’re very lucky here in Northeast Ohio because we have access to many library systems such as the Cleveland Public Library system, Cuyahoga County Public Library system, and other local libraries. For Executive Arrangements’ 40th anniversary, we’re touring Cleveland to talk […]

Kelleys Island is Quite a Catch

Lake Erie Islands? Yes, please! Approximately 90 minutes from downtown Cleveland, we have day trip destinations or relaxing locations for staycations. The most popular destinations are South Bass Island – a tourist destination containing the village of Put-in-Bay – Middle Bass Island, and my favorite: Kelleys Island. I headed over there as a part of our […]

The View from Brandywine Falls

August 30, 2019

Anu Ramakrishnan

For EA’s 40th anniversary, I’d like to share an area attraction that had its origin 400 million years ago. The 65-foot Brandywine Falls in Cuyahoga Valley National Park is one of the park’s most visited sights. It is carved by Brandywine Creek, and the geologic rock formation is clearly visible. There’s a hard layer of […]

For our 40th anniversary, we’re reviewing 40 of our favorite places in Cleveland. One of the coolest places in Cleveland to see, especially during the summer, is Edgewater Park.

Space Rocks and Other Inclinations: A NASA Glenn Exploration Day

August 27, 2019

Rebecca Ferlotti

The Great Lakes Science Center has more than just augmented reality sandboxes, the opportunity to create duct tape hats, and Dippin’ Dots. NASA Glenn Visitor Center moved to the Science Center shortly after 9/11 as a solution for less people on government grounds with heightened security at NASA’s facility by the airport. Now welcoming about […]

We have so much love for the Cleveland Metroparks; we can’t seem to stop talking about all our parks have to offer! Our 19th stop on our 40th anniversary tour of Cleveland is Quarry Rock. Tucked in South Chagrin Reservation, Quarry Rock sits off of Solon Road within the village of Bentleyville, offering a picturesque view […]

The 18th Reason We Love Cleveland: Euclid Avenue

August 18, 2019

Rebecca Ferlotti

Much like Euclid Avenue, the road to Executive Arrangements’ 40th anniversary has been filled with exciting developments. As our Guide, Brad Withers, explains, Euclid Avenue brings back a sense of nostalgia for us Clevelanders. Let’s start with Public Square, where the original settlers of Cleveland let their animals graze. Revitalized in June 2016 before the […]

3 Jewish Institutions Giving Back to Cleveland

August 8, 2019

Rebecca Ferlotti

The principle of tzedek is alive and well in Cleveland, where Jewish organizations thrive, improving the city through their philanthropic efforts. As a part of EA University, Executive Arrangements spent a half day in Beachwood, learning about some of the groups driving this change: The Temple Tifereth Israel, Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the […]
