The year is 2001 and both David’s life and the mortgage industry are in balance. After the attacks on 9/11 the stock markets shut down for over a week marking its biggest decline since the great depression. America’s economy is in the tank and the mortgage industry’s response is easy lending and easier money. It was the dawn of the biggest boom in the mortgage industry’s history and a young and naive David Martin was interviewing at a chop shop brokerage called Empire Funding. Once hired, David joins an unsavory group of unethical mortgage brokers led by Empire’s manipulative and controlling owner, Michael Banco. It is here where David is exposed to the mortgage industry’s veritable group of crooks, cons and cheats – Realtors, Appraisers and Investors – and they all have a con of their own. David is soon faced with the decision of abandoning what he knows is right…Written by James Repici.

ButtOut Ohio is partnering with the LGBT Center of Greater Cleveland to host an art exhibit at the Arts Collinwood café on Thursday, Nov. 17!  The artwork, prepared by Center students, will encourage tobacco cessation. Members of the community are invited to view the art display between 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, (11/17) at Arts Collinwood (15605 Waterloo Road, Cleveland).

ButtOut Ohio is a tobacco cessation campaign sponsored by the Ohio Department of Health that aims to curb tobacco use among LGBT students across the state – especially in Northeast Ohio, where nearly 80 percent of LGBT youth self-identify themselves as smokers.

In collaboration with community partners, this event will highlight the Center students’ creative work and free quit line resources will be provided to individuals interested in kicking the bad habit!

The event is free-of-charge, so come out and support LGBT health & wellness, as well as the local Cleveland art scene!
