  3. The bad guys do seem to get a lot of wins these days.
  4. In that first shot, it looks like this was Iron Curtain Bridge's predecessor. If there ever were a neglected opportunity, it would be to somehow connect the Flats to Wendy Park/Whiskey Island with that bridge, and relocate all that industrial sh*t somewhere. Well, except for the trains. Forget Burke and the associated headaches of redevelopment; connecting downtown directly to miles of Wendy Park/Whiskey Island/Edgewater would be epic. You need an army of drones to figure out how to get there otherwise.
  5. Always love seeing sky cranes. Hell, they're more visually interesting than the final product most of the time. I mean, can we get some shapes besides rectangles for once.
  6. Well, here we go folks. Between Beiber starting and the shocking Ramirez extension (damn, does someone have dirt on the Dolans?), I'm feeling good about today. Also, go Cubs. Also, enjoy the day off Boston and Yankee dolts.
  7. Cleveland didn't seem that different from '96-'98 before the expansion team began their glorious 22 year run. The city will survive if leadership decides not to be blackmailed by Jimmy and Dee.

    I have been tearing through YouTube trying to find bands similar to the Midnight. Gunship, Timecop1983, FM-84 come very close, but I'm starving for more of that futuresynth 80s style music with lyrics. A lot of the recommendations on google/reddit seem to solely be instrumentals, which are fine, but I need the singers there too.
  9. On the plus side, at least someone will start using the Tri-C Campus District (E. 34th) stop.
  10. Assuming this is current, https://en.as.com/en/2022/02/08/nfl/1644284110_443528.html#:~:text=- The host stadium must be,be approved by the league. How are Super Bowl cities selected? "There must be a minimum number of hotel spaces within one hour's drive of the stadium equaling 35% of the stadium's capacity". So that means there have to be at least 24,500 hotel rooms within an hour since the potentially new stadium's minimum would be 70,000 seaters.
  11. Arghhh, I completely forgot about the one in Jersey. I blame some bad octopus I ate several days ago.
  12. While a domed/roofed stadium is clearly non-negotiable, there are a lot of requirements for a city to host a Superbowl, especially with hotel room numbers within 60 minutes that would need to be rectified. Beyond that, my cynical belief is the odds are just not in cold climate cities in general. Detroit in 06, Indianapolis 2012, and Minneapolis 2018 are cold cities that hosted the Superbowl recently; otherwise, the Bowls almost always go to warmer cities. February in Cleveland is just not fun weather for those kinds of festivities. Late April NFL draft is one thing, but early February? I don't know...
  13. God knows how much they're salivating over that sh*t in Buffalo.
  14. Housing is scorching all over the country, even in regions where population is stagnated or falling, so it's really not the best barometer of population growth. Hell, one could even argue a hot market can hurt population growth, since it inhibits immigrants and lower-mid income families from home ownership - and they make up a pretty big chunk of the country. But I do hope you're right.

    It's basically the anti-Gilded Age.

    Sigh... the Alienist is just terrible. How could they ruin my favorite book?
  17. Absolutely stunning, unique. Anything is better than another f*cking rectangle.
  18. The season is coming up! I am particularly excited about Mark Schatz, Jeremy Copeck, and especially Coco Sparx. A few more up-and-comers like that, and we could have a truly memorable summer!

    How many crimes was Jim Brown convicted of? I believe one, with virtually no sentence. Hell of a price to pay for a lifetime of beating and violating women. Donald Trump. Zero convictions. Bill Cosby is walking free due to prosecutorial malpractice. OJ was acquitted. Charges were dismissed against Saint Kobe. The law fails all the time; life is messy. Doesn't mean this sicko should be rewarded with $230 million and be the face of a sports team.

    Nothing wrong with seeking compensation for being sexually harassed or abused. I certainly would want him to pay, literally, for his violation and my pain and suffering. And the whole thing is messy. Perhaps there were a few consensual sexual encounters thrown in there; hell, I'm sure Cosby, Weinstein and Spacey have a few charlatans among their victims. Doesn't exonerate Jimmy and Dee from the common sense that, at the least, we probably shouldn't give this predator a quarter billion dollars. Can you imagine this turd volunteering at the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center? I guess the Cleveland Hope Exchange it is.

    "As to the Watson allegations- admittedly, anyone would be disgusted by a man that would sexually assault a woman" Evidently that's not the case if your last name is Haslem. They can file it under "boys will boys" or compartmentalize the man from the player... but in the end they are welcoming a serial sex offender/rapist with a quarter billion. And considering their alliance and photo ops with Jim Brown, it's pretty clear the Haslems, and many fans, just don't give a firey f*ck about violence against women.

    Roethlisberger raped two women and has two rings. Watson committed a variety of sexual assaults on 22 women. That's worth, what, 5 rings? Shameful day for the city.

    OBJ is unquestionably a headcase, and I can't blame Baker for sending a nuanced goodbye message when it was clear Haslem tried to toss him for a serial sexual offender/rapist. I'd be ticked off too and want to see the boss grovel.

    The Tourist was watchable. Righteous Gemstones amazing. Raised by Wolves episode one isn't exactly riveting. This requires more rum. Edit: nevvvvvvvvvver mind. This show is great!
