As a new regular feature, our occasional “Latest from the Ohio Preservation and Revitalization Blogworld” series will now be a monthly feature. Here’s what has come across our computer screens in the last month:

“Breuer Tower: What to Do Next” in Cleveland vs. The World includes a detailed letter from Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson-Jones profiling reasons why he voted against demolition, and a review of what can be done at this point by building advocates. The Breuer/Cleveland Trust Tower was recently included on Preservation Ohio’s List of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites.

“GraveQuest” is a new adventure game on OhioTraveler.com that requires participants to visit the resting places of several famous Ohioans, which can be found either by solving general clues or by using a GPS locator. Once arriving at the site, contestants obtain letters from the gravestone inscriptions. Prizes will be announced after the final clue is revealed. One wonders, however, if the fine folks at OhioTraveler.com realize that photos of the first two grave markers are already available online?

“Franklin County Joins City Partnership to Preserve and Restore Columbus’ Historic Lincoln Theatre” in Columbus RetroMetro heralds the decision of the county to commit $4 million to the project to restore and reuse the historic Lincoln Theatre on the east side of Downtown Columbus. The venue, an integral part of the history of the African-American community in Columbus, is slated to become a center for jazz music and other performing arts. The County joins a wide-ranging partnership, which includes the City of Columbus and CAPA.

and… we wanted to say “thanks” and give a shout out to blogs around that country that have featured MyHometownOhio stories. In the last month, this list includes the following, among many others:
