Lake and nearly a mile to the west for the river valley.

Wow that’s all pretty fascinating. I def didn’t realize exactly how Midwestern and specifically rural midwestern the German population of the US is. I also would have expected Cincinnati to show up as more German but it seems not outside of the norm. Also somewhat surprised at how similar Cleveland and Pittsburgh are and how much they stick out in the Midwest/Great Lakes. NEO has almost nothing in common ethnically with the rest of the state.

Southwest corner right?

Awesome set

Idk, but the fact it says W. 25th street and not Pearl Road indicates this is north of 71.

I think the YMCA site is housing with supportive services, not market rate. I think it’s been mentioned before, but NRP is partnering with Metro on the housing aspect of their master plan. Not sure where on 25th it is but one of those vacant lots west of Metro is a good guess. https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/local_news/metrohealth-project-aims-to-revitalize-neighborhood/article_297a550c-bf82-11e9-9221-6fa88771570b.html

Have you lived there? Your scenario sounds insane. Who moves their life a thousand miles away from their friends and family to go to a city that is moderately less liberal?

Excited to see what corrupt, monied interests push our incompetent county government into an unnecessary and terrible decision that haunts the city for decades!

The seasons/activities are just inverted in Austin. You can dine al fresco, go hiking, and just generally be outside all winter in Austin. You have to live like a shut-in from June-October but winter is great. Although I will take Cleveland summer over Austin winter.

I don’t know if it’s fair to say it’s “inauthentic”, it’s just new. Cleveland def has it all over Austin for cultural amenities, architecture, cost of living, and traffic. But I would take some of that downtown street life, and good lord do I miss those tacos. I wish there was one place in Cleveland that had decent breakfast tacos (don’t @ me with La Plazas, it’s not the same).

I just moved back from Austin too. I agree the cities have almost nothing in common. I do find myself missing the “buzz” in Austin a bit sometimes. The city is a sprawling mess but there is stuff going on everywhere on account of a Cleveland-sized population living in an Akron-sized infrastructure.

Spirit is great if you set your expectations. If you can get away with just bringing a small backpack you’ll save lots of money. Round trip direct to LA right now is like $130.

I hope all of the offices for every company move downtown and every suburban office park rots into the ground and is replaced by redwoods and black bears. Keeeeping it on topic bring all them SW jobs downtown!

That’s what she....nvm

The NFL is a business that profits from human beings sacrificing their long term physical and mental well being. Myles Garrett’s violent reaction is a symptom of the problem. Any pearl clutching done by anyone involved with football is naive, cynical, or disingenuous.

Best city in America, fight me! I spent some time in the fashion district last time I was there, it was fascinating and lots of fun.

Yeah they stink. I kind of prefer the plain wine and gold ones they had from ‘11-‘15. I hope they wear those powder blue throwbacks more often.

They’ve been beating bad teams and losing to good teams. That’s about the best I could have hoped for this year. The coaching has been good, and Beilein has shown some willingness to adapt his offensive schemes. And the Cavs appear to actually HAVE a defensive scheme this year which is nice. I’m slightly concerned about Garland. It would be nice to see him bury 4 or 5 threes in a game. But his decision making has generally been pretty good. Sexton picked up right where he left off last year. I’m still not convinced he’s a winning player since he doesn’t provide all around contributions. But he’s only 20 and man can he score. TT and Love have been great.

It would be nice to swap out some of those beige, vinyl-sided abortions for the 4 story Victorian brick apartment houses but oh well.

Dang, hard to believe what we have now on the east side of downtown is better than what we had in 1960. I guess I didn’t realize how much was already gone by then.

I think he’s maybe letting his links do a lot of the work for him. The link to the CityBlock article is mildly illuminating but the link to the paper about human capital is more interesting. As a side note, if you’d like to get bummed out about Bernie Moreno and his role in CityBlock go read his twitter feed. Yikes!

Yes I did. I said a school shouldn’t be built on a prime stretch of developable land. Oh well. I’m sure you have some numbers to back up an increase of high school age students in the area that would necessitate a new high school. Especially when a new high school was just built 2 miles away.
