CLEVELAND, Ohio - When you enter Chris McNeil's home, it takes about five steps to find a connection to his Twitter alter ego - @reflog_18. It's a framed page of The Plain Dealer from Jan. 1, 2017, hanging in the hallway that leads to the kitchen.
At the top of the page there's an illustration of McNeil posing for a portrait, but instead of the 38-year-old with the narrow face and hints of gray in his hair, the canvas shows his recognizable Twitter avatar: a man with black hair poking out from under a red wig, a bushy black mustache, and a cigar in his mouth.
