MayDay

But it'll have a mall near it! Never mind that one up the hill on East 9th and St. Clair...

^The PANTHER District? What possible relevance does the Muni Lot and horseraces have to do with a PANTHER? Oh, and a mall at that site? BRILLIANT! :roll:

2-floor limit? Suuuure, so Sandy can have Gates Mills on the Cuyahoga :roll:

Ouch! National City to cut 4,000 jobs, posts another big loss http://blog.cleveland.com/business/2008/10/national_city_posts_another_bi.html Posted by tmurray October 21, 2008 06:16AM The bank said today that it will cut up to 4,000 jobs nationwide as it reports a loss of $729 million in the third quarter of 2008. CLEVELAND -- National City Corp. today said it's planning to cut 4,000 jobs nationwide in the next three years as it copes with another big quarterly loss. The Cleveland bank said it lost $729 million in the third quarter -- results that were much worse than projected -- largely because it continues to build its war chest to prepare for future potential loan losses.

^Me either, although I had to say "Pass" on the pointy-toed shoe trend a few years ago. And despite what you people might think, I never had ANY inclination to ever take up ballet but apparently it's not an option for those with Morton's toe.

I can use my second toe to cross over my big toe and crack my big toe knuckles. Yes, I have monkey feet.

^I can help ya there - I'll send you a PM tomorrow.

Now that's a good shot of a good time - I swear anytime a forumer is on the Goodtime, there's a kick@ss shot of the skyline and the weather always seems to cooperate!

Master and MyTwoSense, feel free to take it up via Private Messaging. Thanks.

I can't verify the reasons people visit my site. However, over the years when I've checked the visitors' "log", there are a few (just a handful) IP addresses that read "film people" who seem particularly interested in the "Streetscapes" section. Again - no idea if they're just interns surfing, or people actually scoping out locations but you never know ;-) I think ColDayMan has had people buy licensing rights to his images and they were *definitely* film/TV folks, but he'll have to give the scoop on that.

Welllll, I have heard that Ohio would be at an slight advantage because of the extreme diversity of locations in Ohio and more importantly, their proximity to each other. Meaning, we have everything from old-growth forest, to rural farms, to small-towns, to medium cities to larger cities, not to mention the variety of topography, etc. - and they're all in very close proximity. I've also read that a lot of filmmakers are interested in any city setting that hasn't been overexposed - I mean, you can't say "this film was set in downtown Omaha" when you can see the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

The pumpkins aren't getting carved, they're probably going to end up as pies. And I ain't sharing those! :-D Ink, I didn't the chance but if you go I've heard that Hiram (not far from Garrettsville) has a nice campus and apparently Garrettsville has some sort of riverwalk, or an old mill on the river... it might be incredibly lame or utterly charming - no idea. Anyway I found some details on the Portage County tourism site, but I'm not sure how up-to-date this info is: Garrettsville Boardwalk Bordering Silver Creek with shops, restaurants and the historic Garretts Mill which features an operating grist mill, restaurant and micro-brewery. Garretts Mill is located at 8148 Main Street, Garrettsville OH 44231 Hours: Mon - Thurs 11-10 pm, Fri 11-11 pm, Sat 11-2 pm/4-11 pm, Sun 11-4 pm 330-527-4080 330-527-4078 Regardless, Sean's Pub is good for beer and cheap-ish but good eats!

At work, yes. It's mostly 20' x 4' banners and 8' x 3' panels for an "entry island" aka a 40' wide by 10' tall form that goes over a series of conference room doors - I'm just glad they only need 100 dpi for these beasts.

Good question - even though our personalities are different (he's more calm cool and collected, like THAT's a shocker), we're both pretty even when it comes to decisions about, well just about anything.

I refuse to show a photo, but the toenail of my second toe begins where my big toe (toe, not the toenail) ends. Yeah, I'm the poster child for Morton's toe. :-| EDIT: Not my pic, but from wikimedia - in my case, the big toe and second toe look like this, but the third toe is even with the big toe:

Congratulations all of you. For the record, there have been plenty of people (including those who have been given the privilege of being moderators) from both Cincy AND Cleveland who have been a little too f#cking sensitive about any comment made about their respective cities. All of you, get over yourselves.

Thankfully it looks like they're taking down more than just the one level of scaffolding :-) Notice that there's more to go on the left side of this image:

"Do other cities even have an Urban Coordinator?" In Cleveland, the bike rack program has been handled by the Office of Sustainability - they've placed 500 racks throughout the city so far (similar to the design posted above). Specific details are here: http://www.clevelandbikes.org/Clevelandbikeplan.htm

^The pumpkins weren't MY idea! I'd be just as happy to swing by Dave's or wherever and be done with it, but hey - I gotta keep my better half happy!

TouCHÉ!!! :laugh:

HelLO, one has to have the appropriate booze for every season and temperature! :drunk:

^Basically you take a tea infuser, fill it with mulling spices*, and set it in a pot of whatever you're mulling (aka simmering with mulling spices). Most people use cider or a red wine (nothing fancy, just an everyday cab or pinot noir). Just a heads-up, it's very warming, and it makes the booze go RIGHT to your head. But there's nothing better when it's a chilly night in front of a warm fire. * http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-mulling-spices.htm

"I was just excited about the housing program that they announced, and I was hoping other people would be more vocal." As a resident of one of the target areas, it's good to hear - but I'll wait for the details. Any improvement is good news, obviously but my level of excitement might depend on if they fix up houses a mile away or right next door. :-) Am I the only person who HASN'T ever been to a Chipotle?

Not much to report - we picked up four, all about the size of a soccer ball. :? More importantly, I got some mulling spices - and I'm now enjoying some mulled wine :drunk:
