SNAP Program Recipients Endure Bad Weather Outside Tremont’s St. Augustine Hunger Center
Prior to the mid-November end to the US government shutdown, Catholic Charities Diocese of Cleveland (CCDC) received a generous donation to be distributed to Northeast Ohio SNAP families. The donation was distributed in the form of gift cards to CCDC’s network of sites, and promoted throughout local SNAP networks.
Responding SNAP program beneficiaries (who had not received benefits since the beginning of the month) overwhelmed Tremont’s St. Augustine Hunger Center on November 7th, leaving a long, unmoving line of neighbors and their children in 47° temps and sometimes driving rain. The line extended from the door of the hunger center to Howard Ave, then continued far down W. 14th St.

The Pretentious Cleveland Portrait Artists Celebrate 20 Years
Tim Herron and participant Duane Dickson spoke with The Tremonster when we stopped in on The Pretentious Cleveland Portrait Artists for their 20th anniversary during a regularly scheduled portrait artist and model break.
by Timothy Herron and Brian Pierce
In June/July we will be our 20th year, beginning in 2005 in the back of a small bar in the Tremont area of Cleveland called the Literary Café, which was run by Andy Timithy and Linda Baldizzi. Brian Pierce and I just wanted steady practice drawing portraits and offered the patrons our drawings in exchange for posing in order to save some money and not toss the drawing in the basement or closet. Overhearing a fellow patron explain to his friend in a private conversation that Tremont was filled with pretentious artists provided us with a name for our drawing group.

The Hooper Farm Experience
Kite Day
by Bruce Checefsky
Erich Hooper has been farming since 1993. Hooper Farm in Tremont (2835 West 11th Street), the original Cleveland urban farm, is cultivated on a 1-acre parcel at 2702-2880 W 11th Street, just a few blocks from A Christmas Story House and Lincoln Park. Erich works with the youth, elderly, ex-convicts, and others on the farm, giving them real-life skills and opportunities they can use to support themselves. Hooper grows lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, sage, onions, potatoes, and other crops, with enough produce for restaurants, many of them in the Tremont neighborhood. Hooper Farm Kite Day at Clark Field took place last month.
