That’s an apples to oranges comparison, though. The stock market is not the economy. The CPI, however, is much closer to being so. I’m not saying that there isn’t a recession on the horizon. But an irrational DJIA rally 15 years ago is not the same thing as the improving fundamentals that we are seeing today.

The art/signage looks suspiciously like the form of that placemaking art by the Ukrainian group that @KJPhas highlighted, including a proposed installation on the Mall. Any idea if it’s made by them?

Wow, that is great company to be in! But is it really any more accurate than those LinkedIn or U-Haul stats, which never really seem to align with Census numbers?

Just google “London bendy bus” and you’ll find all you need to know about this particular episode. Boris likes to think he saved the day (and cyclists butts) on this one. That said, the congestion and cycle usership of central London is not exactly analogous to Public Square. I don’t think that experience should be translated here for the choice of routing or buses

Can you expand on the religious tyranny that, I would assume by the mention, is the primary source of Arab refugees?

Yes. We are sure. We were sure 3 days ago when Crains reported: “Three years after marketing efforts began during the lockdown stage of the pandemic, the famed and beloved Sokolowski's University Inn in Tremont has gone into the hands of an affiliate of the WXZ Development firm of Fairview Park.” Cleveland's iconic Tremont eatery Sokolowski's sells for $1.5 million I consider you amongst the best of the best around here @mrnyc but “I looked it up” couldn’t help but give me flashbacks of “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent” vibes 😉

In the end, I go back to the comments the master Ice Cube made during the 2016 induction of N.W.A. addressing this very topic. It’s hard to argue with this: “Goddam right, we're rock and roll, rock ’n’ roll is not an instrument; rock ’n’ roll is not even a style of music. Rock ’n’ roll is a spirit. Rock ’n’ roll is not conforming to the people who came before you, but creating your own path in music and in life.”

Absolutely fair. There’s a long list of ports around the county that received these grants (and I was pleased to see Cleveland is receiving more than the MUCH larger Jaxport in Jacksonville, Fla, but I digress…) Point is, it can’t hurt the Port, Cleveland, or Cuyahoga County that Mayor Bibb is making the effort (alongside the congressional delegation) to stay on the radar of Cabinet level officials. Just the same as his colleagues nationwide. And while we might not ever know definitively, it may have had a role, albeit small. You couldn’t say the same about Mayor “It-is-what-it-is”. Source: Have commuted to both 601 Lakeside and a large white building with a dome on a hill in Washington in my life.

That’s true, but… Bibb resetting Cleveland's place on national stage and Mayor Justin Bibb says his out-of-state travels intended to bring resources, new ideas home to Cleveland (Just two examples documenting Bibb and Buttigieg meeting) It looks like Mayor Bibb and Secretary Pete have met at least twice, in Washington and in Cleveland. While not explicit, it’s probably safe to say that this likely included advocacy by Bibb for just the sort of grants that the port received.

So true. Another unfortunate example of the “journalism” on Cle.com. ICA should request a correction.

That’s absolutely Balloonfest! And I’m here for it. And the orientation of the roof that @ASPhotomanposted is 100% better.

That rooftop is going to be great! Although, as a bit of rooftops snob myself, I think it’s a missed opportunity to have the outdoor deck oriented towards the east, instead of Public Square (and dramatic summertime Lake Erie sunsets) to the west. Still, will be quite the impressive rooftop for downtown Cleveland! I imagine the guest policies will be fun to enforce.

Bingo. As the regular widebody service to Hopkins in the 1970s and 80s attested to — as with now, the somewhat regular 787 and 777 diversions — it was nothing about adding capacity for bigger planes (although the pipe dream of Asia destinations would have been a lot more comfortable (and/or without weight restrictions) at MTOW on 13000ft rather than the 10000ft we have now. Remember when CO touted the direct flight from CLE to PEK in the naughts!?) It was about the “throughput” that the parallel runways and simultaneously takeoffs and landings that they would allow. At its peak, the CO hub had something like 180 flights a day. Who knows what they were planning before 9/11 (although I suspect the IX fiasco is a clue) but just before the global financial crisis they announced a growth plan that would’ve brought us up to 300 or so flights a day. That, of course, didn’t pan out. But the accusations of city mismanagement of Hopkins would be even louder and more justified had they not tried to prepare the airfield for this demand.

Had the same thought! Perhaps it’s…

Mary Rose Oakar had her time and place in Cleveland politics, and she was a pitbull at times that lead to great benefit here, especially in women’s rights (although famously anti-choice). The west side politicians still treat her with the respect she’s earned, although fortunately not deference. Glad that she was in the extreme minority on Bridgeworks. And hopefully she’ll appreciate the progress once complete. https://history.house.gov/People/Detail/19070

No kidding! I grew up in a Bob Corna house. And went to the the dentist in a Bob Corna office building. He definitely has a unique fingerprint on certain parts of Cleveland. Not sure the Browns stadium will be one of them, though.

I mean, there’s a lot there to unpack. But I can’t not give a respectful slow clap 👏

Interesting! I like the cathedral-like addressing of Public Square, and the idea that we would have had a signature building by the homegrown Philip Johnson to feature for posterity (Public Theater was NOT that). But if a zero sum game (like it was), definitely glad we got our Pelli masterpiece instead.

The amount of autonomy, responsibility, and supervision provided to an 18-year-old E1 and that we entrust with police officers could not be further apart.

Well Wallops Island, Kazakstan, and especially New Zealand would certainly like to have a word with you about the equator. Proximity to it is an important factor, but certainly not the only factor. The day-in day-out cost savings of moving the Cape up to, say, Erie County compared to, say, Christmas Island, would probably make up the difference.

Oh FFS. This is really not good. I hope your submitted feedback; hopefully it’s just a “switch” that isn’t flipped on this beta version.

Investing in sports teams provides a much better ROI to the investor than…lakefront development plans. Or new stadiums. So I don’t think that is the motivation for their plans in a Cleveland vis-a-vis the lakefront. I would imagine these are completely different purposes and one isn’t being done at the expense of the other.

Organizations with these mandates do already exist, primarily the Downtown Cleveland Alliance (https://downtowncleveland.com/office-relocation-expansion) and GCP (https://greatercle.com/).

The top left parenthetical, I assume you are referring to 订单号, means “Order Number”, so not sure how that’s redundant. It’s (basically) a translation of the English just like all the other instances of Chinese on that form.

There’s nothing here that has anything to do with a potential change in the location of Flexjet’s headquarters. That’s probably why the reporter didn’t ask. Strange post.
