There is a parking lot where Bessemer runs into E. 55th. South of 490 rather than north. There is also the former Hospital site at Broadway between McBride and Fowler. The parking lot looks to be the same distance from the Rapid stop. The old Hospital site is 30% further away. I think getting this into Slavic Village helps the city save Slavic village which is disintegrating before our eyes and should be a higher priority than trying to revitalize nothingness. This puts the facility close enough to the wholesalers at that corner and into an area that has some interesting housing/architectural elements rather than smack dab in the middle of an industrial/abandoned area. Which could help turn slavic village into Ohio city.

The western border of Cleveland being the Rocky River valley precludes a lot of what might have happened with the east side. Where the border isn't a geographical feature it is a major commercial street, Brookpark Rd, W. 117th etc.

I know there are parts of Fairview Park that are in the Rocky River school district.

Dogs&Cats....what is that # please.

Going to Put in Bay or would join you. Just down Fairfield at W. 11th you will find SouthSide, Parallax and the new Record/Coffee shop Loop. One block further east at 10th you will find a Cookie and a Cupcake...Professor Ave dead ends into 10th at this point. Along professor you will find most of name restaurants in Tremont: Lolita, Lago, Dante, Farenheit, Ty Fun, as well as bars: the flying monkey, Edison's, the tree house. You will also find the Banyan tree (which my wife, who moved here from Manhattan, tells me is good boutique shopping) and the Ice cream shop Scoops. At the corner of 11th and Kenilworth (one block south of 11th and Fairfield) is the Civilization coffee shop and Lincoln Park Bistro. Sprinkled in between all of these are numerous art galleries. You might want to park and meet up around one of these and make the short walk to the festival. If you go at one of the busy times It will be crowded, it will be hard to find parking close in, and it might be hard to find a table. One man's humble opinion....

McCleveland I moved into the neighborhood in the fall of last year....would you please share this knowledge. PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting.

Toast Wine bar. 3rd hand info.....Being held up by the Church next door and one of the Neighbors possibly objecting to the liquor license. Stopped all construction until they get it cleared up.

Those were charters. Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Celtics a couple of days before that there was a 737 with the Texas Rangers painted on it.

not completely sure but you can look here. http://www.hermescleveland.com/sportandsocial/index.php they put on a lot of the 5k's and such around town... Maybe go to a 5k and talk to the folks running it or running in it. On the west side ( Rocky River) there is a shoe store, second sole, that is pretty much all about runners and running, there might be something similar on the east side.

if they doubled the width of the shelter and had something solid inside, preferably light colored it would help a lot. 2 people could sit and it might stop the wind/driving rain. and reflect some of the sun. Drew opened a restaurant. kewl, glad to see him contributing something positive to his old home town.

The definitely look good. The provide no shelter, well maybe from the sun except that metal will probably get hot. I also found that due to the sloping nature of the upright, only 1 person (maybe 2 children) can sit at a time.

wow you just compared what Drew Carey 'DID' in making this little youtube video with MLK jr and Ghandi? Our education system has failed and I am sad.

I do agree with at least one point that Drew makes. We have to "fix" the schools, non functional schools keep functional people/families away. I think blowing up the current construct of the Cleveland Public School District is necessary. I think that we should make many districts centered around high schools making them geographically coherent. 1 high school, 1 - 2 middle schools, 2-4 elementary schools are a "district", with the people in each area voting for the "district" school board. Get any and all decision making out of downtown. Eliminate all those layers of management. Some people think vouchers are the answer...I can see their point. What we have now does NOT work, we need to DO something different. I do not think vouchers are workable simply for the logistics involved. There are simply not 30,000 slots open to put the voucher kids in...so almost all of them end up right where they are, which is NOT working for anybody.

Invest in a business, fund a candidate, get a petition drive together to outlaw zoning. there was a big long list of things he could have done HE HAS DONE NOTHING I did no research...he his a favorite "Limousine liberal" of the right. It is a reference most people understand. DOERS >>>>>> TALKERSABOUTOTHERSDOINGTHETHINGSTHEYTHINKARESOGREAT ACORN and the TEA party people DO things Drew Carey talks about things other people should do, without DOING anything about the things he thinks other people should do. Unless you can tell me something he has done....so far we have: he spent an hour on TV and donated somebody else's money to the Ohio Library Foundation

TBideon you watched the whole series? or the 1 minute trailer?

I said anything............that was one possibility. what HAS HE DONE?????? He can talk all he wants, it his right....that is all it is...until he DOES something. People who TALK about doing things suck....People who DO things are worth listening to. Leonardio DeCaprio telling everyone to take a bus SUCKS...just like DREW sucks for TALKING about solving real problems instead of DOING something. Charlton Heston DID things Ed Bagley Jr DOES things. Whether I agree with the things or not is immaterial. DOERS >>>>>> TALKERSABOUTOTHERSDOINGTHETHINGSTHEYTHINKARESOGREAT

Sorry Avogadro you seem to understand my point.....I think it is quite simple. But for some, they want to argue about it.

Tbideon wow you got all that....from NOT watching the videos in question? But you did answer something. Drew Carey did DO something for the Ohio Library Foundation. Not quite Cleveland, but I am sure there was some benefit. And what he did was spend an hour on TV.....so not sure how much credit I am willing to extend here. But it is > 0. That was a very nice thing he did...how much above the bare minimum would you rate that at? Celebrities going on game shows and "donating" somebody else's money to charity is just above the bare minimum in my book. Kind of like for profit business that have "charities" that take YOUR donations or employee donations and use them for 1) publicity 2) to offset their taxes.

Drew Carey is a funny guy. saw his stand up, laughed. Watched the show, until like most of them it went on 2 years too many. Possibly slightly improved Cleveland's image while the show was on....personal anecdotes suggest this is mixed. Cleveland isn't a filthy cesspool of a mill town who's river burned....but we aren't real bright, friendly, but bumblers. Seems to have done well for himself. Doesn't really give Cleveland a bad name. Happy for him, wish him nothing but success. And if he came here and ran for mayor I would vote for him....mostly because he could by pass the "machine", and if anything is just more of the same it will be the next mayoral candidate the local democratic establishment spits out. But until he DOES something, anything, he can go pound sand.

I didn't ask him to save Cleveland. Anyone and everyone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and DO something is more than welcome. Drew Carey not so much. I will say this...the things we have done, in the manner we have done them in the last 40 years have done us a grave disservice. At least Chicago gets a reasonable amount of competence with their corruption. I didn't make a video telling you I know the answers....I have the self awareness to get the fact that I probably don't even know what 1/2 the questions are. Somebody who tells you that you should wear pink pajamas to make your life better, but wont put a pair on? why would anyone listen to that? unless you already wear pink pajamas or sell them? You have a good idea, sell it to me. Community gardens? Un-electing officials or electing ones you prefer? getting together to clean up a street? Knocking down all the vacant houses? getting rid of the water department? I will work with you to make this place better. We are about to get a new county government...will it be better? hard to see that it could be worse than the current one, but people's ability disappoint seems limitless. But when you cant be bothered to expend any effort to implement the ideas that you think are so gold plated.....I will kindly tell you to go pee up a rope. Invest more??? as far as I can tell he has invested and done nothing, except talk about how great it would be if everyone just listened and did what he said.

wrong being corrected. If you pay cash ($2.50), you will need to pay each time you get on a bus/train. If you buy and all day pass ($5.00) you can get on as many different times as you want in a 24 hour period. if you buy a 5 ride pass THEN you can transfer within 2.5 hours...it is built into the time stamp....of getting on the first bus/train. You CANNOT get back on the same bus/train, that is not a transfer. so if you get on the healthline to go out to the clinic, you can transfer to the red-line or a different bus within 2.5 hours but you cannot go to the Dr. and then get back on the healthline without paying for a second ride.

I don't want him to save Cleveland. He is saying that he knows how. won't DO anything about it mind you. So I give him and his ideas the consideration that they deserve > 0 < 1 on a 100 point scale. The people who keep saying that he has DONE something are delusional and discredit those who DO things everyday to try to make this place better. including Republicans, Democrats, Independents and even Libertarians...even completely apolitical folks who just work to make their homes, streets and neighborhoods a better place to live. The guy who picks up a piece of trash that was blowing around, just because somebody needs to, has done far more than Drew Carey to make Cleveland a better place.

Video taping me talking about things other people should do is not DOING anything it is TALKING about doing something. I said it in the first post....maybe he has DONE something and if you enlighten me as to what that is I will acknowledge it. Invest in a local business even? I mean freaking ANYTHING. Heck he could have opened a Buzz Beer Brewpub and cleaned up, could have improved his wallet and Old Brooklyn, could have been 10 times bigger than GLBC. Shipped Buzz beer all around the country, lots of jobs....would have given him political clout....employers get listened to. Some crazy guy from Cali bought the X-mas story house and has turned a falling down house in a marginal neighborhood into a money machine......I really mean ANYTHING. But this is NOTHING but talk.

I'm going to quote and completely agree with X in this case. There is no reason to get all in a tissy over someone trying to offer ideas for improving our city. Sometimes it's easier to affect change from the outside and at least he's doing something. I don't understand why people are complaining about this. It's like complaining that someone gave too little money to charity. Drew Carey didn't have to do a damn thing, but he did. If you disagree with his ideas that's fine, but don't attack the man for doing too little. That's pathetic IMO. No he is not DOING anything TALK <> DO. If he really thinks these ideas are worth anything he should expend some effort in implementing them. He doesn't. He isn't doing too little he is DOING NOTHING.

Tremont Tap house would also meet your requirements. http://www.tremonttaphouse.com/ Short Rib sliders, Egg and Blue burger are all very good. Very long and excellent beer list.
