MayDay

Welcome to Ohio and to UrbanOhio, Fang! :-)

That you have that beguiling mystique that so many women strive for? :-)

That *does* sound nice... I'm wondering if GLBC will be making another special batch of Edmund Fitzgerald like they have in previous years. Last year they added a pinch of cinnamon to the mix, so my galpal and I got the idea to make "black and tans" but with Christmas Ale and the cinnamon-tinged Edmund Fitzgerald - oh.my.god.was.that.goooood.

Orange = Browns game.

^As brtshrcegr said so eloquently "if you're going to make blanket predictions on the relative success (or failure) of an Obama administration, comments like these pretty much negate taking anything you might say seriously."

Took the Healthline to get to an appointment in University Circle today. First impressions: 1. Ridewise - sooooo much better than the 6 (probably a given but still). 2. Timing - going from downtown to University Circle was fine, but in reverse there was plenty of bunching up (aka waiting at the station longer than expected). 3. Some issues of long waits at the lights at East 6th (as said upthread, it's because of the lane closure for the 668 Euclid building), and East 9th (I'm guessing because of the Browns game). Just adding to the chorus of once the timing is worked out, it f#cking rocks.

^No, he's on the just-a-bit-too-far-right-wing end of the social/cultural conservatives. There's a difference. I've voted on more than one occasion for a few Republicans based on their moderate/conservative fiscal policies which was balanced with a more liberal leaning on social issues.

"I'm hoping for Bobby Jindal. He's the most sincere politician I've ever met, and he would probably be the smartest presidential candidate in modern history. His academic credentials are amazing, and he completely backs it up in person. Yeeeeah... about that: From time.com http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1668433,00.html "Jindal has made his name by aligning himself with the cultural conservative wing of the Republican Party, fiercely opposing stem cell research and abortion while favoring the teaching of Intelligent Design in public schools."

^I believe it contains communications equipment (cell phone transmitters, etc.) but don't quote me on that. I was under the impression it was to be removed but maybe not? Keep in mind there used to be a lot more junk up there:

I think that there will be more banks getting into the check-cashing business - KeyBank (along with a few others) offers the check-cashing services minus the exorbitant interest rates through their KeyBank Plus program. I wonder if they contributed to the Issue 5 campaign. Along with that, they offer financial literacy programs through designated centers located in low-to-moderate income areas. There's obviously a market for these services, and I'm guessing banks will try to get their take: https://www.key.com/html/keybank-plus.html https://www.key.com/html/fe_education_centers.html

Scaffolding is still being removed, and I noticed last night the top was lit red, white and blue - and the new lighting is REALLY vivid (no pics, sorry):

Just three stars for Burning River? BANNED!!!

Wow that was a lot of memories - lived on the 10th floor of Leebrick for a semester, then moved off-campus. And then I think of how many late nights were spent in Taylor Hall getting the Stater out on time. Thanks for the pics!

I'm an Admin! ;-)

I'll take a 1681 please, and make it snappy! :-)

Already posted upthread :-) http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,9505.0/msg,339233.html

I picked up some awesome old-school techno CDs back in 1999 (the CDs were from '92). Great shop!

"(I love maydays pix of his polling place. Cleveland ...got to love that old ethnic thing still goin on up there)" Just to clarify, that wasn't the polling place - just one of a few "old guys" clubs in the area, but the surname-with-too-many-consonants is still representative of a good portion of the population.

That's one of a few things I give Ohio City over Tremont. However, we do have curbside recycling in our block - so every Friday morning the sound of smashing bottles echoes all over Tremont ;-)

^Agreed. I've heard it's a good bitter beer, so it sounds at first glance like it'd be right up my alley.

Well *that* wouldn't be so bad :-)

^Good question - I think their closest office to downtown is by the West Side Market.

Stopped by Constantino's and picked up a six-pack of my beer (most favoritest of favorites): Since they were out of six-packs of my partner's favorite, I picked up a case since that was all they had. Depending on the results, I may help myself to one or three:

"Also, I wonder how people felt about reducing cleveland city council size" Ab-so-frickin-lutely!
