Just met Stephen Dubner from @Freakonomics. I had a legit professional reason to approach him after he got off stage ... but half a second later I was like "OMG I've been listening to your podcast since the iPod days and I really need a picture."
I'm moderating this free event (virtual and at the @ClevelandFed). Celebrate #America250 by learning how money worked during the first half our nation's life!

My late cousin, who I adored and miss every day, once said to me: Never make fun of someone for mispronouncing a word. It means they learned it by reading.
I’m moderating a free webinar on inflation expectations at 3 p.m. TODAY (Wednesday, Oct. 8).
I'll be joined by economists from the @ClevelandFed Center for Inflation Research.
There'll be Q&A. Sign up and drop a question in the chat!

Wapak friends: I will be giving a “Federal Reserve 101” talk at the Wapak library THIS TUESDAY, Sept. 30, at 6 p.m. Will be a lesson in economics, civics and history, all in one. And by the way ... the biggest vault door IN THE WORLD is at the @ClevelandFed.
I left the news biz two years ago, but I put the ol' reporter hat back on to write this article on what caused the housing supply crisis ... and what could solve it.
Zoning came up a lot. Other ideas relate to housing preservation and modular homes.

Great discussion on tariffs! Three experts talk about the impact of #tariffs (and uncertainty) on the economy - and what we can learn from the past.

Just heard Enter Sandman on the @NPR station in Columbus. Is there a @WOSU request line? Can I get some @Pantera before the next news break? @Metallica
"Not just edible, but damn good."
This is what I call a good news story. Ordering now. @ClevelandScene @vincethepolack

Please, @NEORSD, tell us you have a plan to stop the fatbergs before Bryan Adams comes back to Cleveland.

Small business owners: This Fed survey is widely cited - and if we get enough responses, we can publish data for more midsize cities. This year we did it for #Cleveland – a first! Hear that, #Columbus? Some #CLE results (survey link’s at the bottom):

The Waffle House CEO passed away this week and the No. 1 offensive line recruit in the country leads his team out on the field carrying a Waffle House flag just a few days later.
It doesn’t get any more American than this.
Props to @wkyc for their storm coverage yesterday. @BetsyKling was like John King on election night, explaining the map in detail with local knowledge (naming neighborhoods and describing clouds above them) all while talking to staff bringing in loads of video shots. Nice job!
Small businesses: Ensure your voice is heard by the Federal Reserve. More survey responses = more granular data. If, say, you’re in Ohio (like most of my connections!), you’ll be helping us see what’s happening on the ground in both the Buckeye State and across the nation.
#SmallBiz owners, we are seeking your feedback! The #SmallBusinessCreditSurvey is now open. Share your successes, your challenges, & your outlook for the future: fedsmallbiz.org/3Ekgw7D Survey closes on 11/17.

My son really loves cats. The other day he was at my wife’s office and heard these guys meowing out by the dumpster. He IMMEDIATELLY started cuddling them. After putting them down, he watched the orange one eat a mouse. Naturally, he put gloves on and kept playing with them.
Arnie typically hangs out with my wife when we work remote. But that was before my son built me this makeshift doghouse.
ICYMI: I work for the @ClevelandFed now! I arrived just in time to make a cameo in this video (which also gives you a glimpse of the largest vault door IN THE WORLD).
Our Cleveland headquarters first opened its doors 100 years ago on August 23, 1923. An estimated 40,000 people attended the unveiling. Join us in celebrating our first 100 years: Read more about our history and make plans to visit our exhibit: clefed.org/centennial
