Last summer, the Cleveland Foundation launched a new initiative aimed at building connections over a shared meal and conversation. Common Ground brought together more than 2,000 Clevelanders at various locations to talk about how to improve their communities. This June, Common Ground is expanding to Lake and Geauga counties for more food – and more talk about the importance of place. To learn more about this year’s plans and how organizers hope to involve even more people, ideastream's Rick Jackson spoke with Stephanie Hicks Thompson of the Cleveland Foundation.
