Newsarama.com reports that Cleveland, Ohio is moving forward with plans to celebrate the birthplace of Superman during his 70th anniversary.Work on Cleveland’s “Summer of Superman” celebration is moving quickly with a series of Superman events.
It’s sill way too early to talk about actual events, since planning is just getting underway. But here’s what is shaping up:

Another promoter, Jim Hambrick, owner of the Superman museum in Metropolis, Ill., and organizer of that city’s annual Superman event, is anxious to bring his expertise to Cleveland. He’s also offered to bring a massive Superman display to Cleveland.

Representatives of Cleveland area schools and libraries want to hold Superman-related events.
