The Cleveland Executive Fellows are partnering with Pop Up City and St. Clair Superior Development Corporation to host this temporary use of the 2nd floor of the Leff Electric Warehouse.
When the fellows went to Duisburg and Stuttgart, Germany, we focused on post-industrial re-use. Typically the final Fellowship event is a conference, but we realized that a conference isn't the best way for us to share what we learned with Northeast Ohio. We also know that there are already folks in Cleveland doing that same thing like Pop Up City and All Go Signs.
So, instead of talking about post-industrial re-use, we decided the best thing for us to do is to partner with folks, put into practice what we learned and then share with the community.
The DiscoTech is still in the planning phases, but we'd like to use the term Roller to apply to all non-motorized wheeled devices: bikes, scooters, rollerblades, rollerskates, unicycles, skateboards, etc. Of course, there'll be a DJ, some food and drink, and a fannypack decorating contest. We are still seeking out partnerships to enliven the space and reach other networks.
Keep your eye out here for more information about the event and our process as we learn the ins and outs of temporary use.

What about Dancing Wheels? And, a crazy thought...FFA in skates.
You read my mind. I am speaking to Dancing Wheels about it and FFA would be great if you really think it could be done in skates!! The goggles are perfect :)
