Cleveland: Downtown: Progressive Field
Guess the Las Vegas Guardians will have to wait another generation😜 It's unfortunate that the city/county, especially one with so many challenges, has to put up any money to bribe a team to stay... but if you look at that ridiculous proposal in Buffalo, I suppose it could be worse.

Cleveland: Lakefront Development and News
Ah, reminds me of the temporary casino we were assured over and over and over and over.

What are you watching?
I must admit, I'm enjoying the Fear Street movies far more than I'd have thought.

I'm not sure exactly. It isn't the dishwasher (I don't use it). Maybe when I'm cleaning it by hand? The cracks seem to appear out of nowhere.

Cleveland Guardians Discussion
Well, they were called the Blues before the Spiders. So there is some logic to having gone back to that name in some form.

I have the worst luck with French presses. They seem to crack every 6 months despite every attempt to treat them delicately. God knows how many glass particles I've swallowed. How do people make them last?

Easier to change the name than retain and re-sign quality players, I guess.

What are you watching?
So far I'm somewhat enjoying Marianne although the first two episodes were a bit uneven. Just make sure to watch it in French with English captions.

Richfield Coliseum memories!

Cleveland: Downtown: Tower City / Riverview Development
"... slated to start opening for business in Fall 2021..." Hey, I want Tower City/Avenue to succeed as much as the next booster, but it's only a few months until the Fall, and we're just hearing about these plans/proposals now?

Geauga Lake
God, it looks like Rotterdam in 1940. Of all the losses Cleveland has had in my lifetime, I have to imagine Geauga Lake is number one, and the wound keeps bleeding with its current purgatory. Sure business relocations/closures had more an impact, but this one still feels like the biggest trauma.

The Official *I Love Cleveland* Thread
It's a mixed bag, and he's driving me crazy mixing up the city proper and metro regions. Quite a few fair points, especially about unreported crimes and regionalized police forces.

Damn, Goldman crushed it.

Another Dumb-a$$ List / Ranking of Cities
That's actually been an issue for a long time, including in nursing homes. It's really a whole other universe in those places, of which younger people by and large aren't comfortable with thinking about too deeply.

Cleveland Mayoral Race 2021
The guy is a pig, but it's got nothing to do with his religion. That's just a false justification he clings on to like all those other bastard hypocrites.

Cleveland Mayoral Race 2021
"He's a Muslim. That's what their faith teaches." Genesis 3:16: To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” Ephesians 5:22-33 ESV: Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.. Ephesians 5:22-23 ESV Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Let's hope we don't get any Christian candidates then.

Is that from the Citizen app? I definitely use it often -- and last weekend it was on fire.

MLB: General News & Discussion
There need to be real, monetary stakes, which of course should have been worked out pre-season. Maybe one umpire check per game, and the managers have discretion but at $25,000 fines if they're wrong. And $50,000 pitcher fines if they're caught. Make it draconian so they can stop wasting the players and fans time with this nonsense.

What are you watching?
I'd say a good way to evaluate a "favorite movie" is you can still watch it today with the same captivation as you did when you were younger. Example: I loved Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Animal House, the Goonies and Batman '89 with all my heart as a kid and teen, but when I watch them now, they're just... fine. Perhaps I've overwatched them? Whatever the reason, I just don't go out of my way to see them. They've run their course. If I were to point out a few favorites, meaning those that have the most rewatchability for the longest period to this day, it would have to be: The Burbs The Hard Way - perhaps my favorite of all time Jacob's Ladder Heavy Metal Not that I do, but I can watch those almost every day without being bored.

You're making me feel old David. Falling Down is just incredible, and Douglas was completely unrecognizable. Hell, I remember the trailers of the movie: "WAIT, YOU FORGOT YOUR BRIEFCASE". Hell, I remember the Siskel and Ebert review too. Check out the Game. Asinine ending aside, it's near perfect. Seed Money on Netflix isn't bad. After watching Kid Detective, I'm on an Adam Brody kick lately.

I am TRYING with Manifest. TRYING. But it feels so dated, so melodramatic, so networky... And Lucifer's musical... nope. I couldn't even get through that episode. Just give me season 6 of Peaky Blinders. I finished the series a few days ago and may rematch it soon. Tom Hardy's performance in particular is memorable and unique. And Arthur... that actor is something else. I just love doing impressions of him.

Cleveland: Crime & Safety Discussion
Guess those cars were just blowing themselves up in Tremont in the 70s. That said, gangs seem to be in full anarchy, leaderless modes today (or perhaps the last 40 years). Social media isn't helping. Enablers aren't helping. Generational single mother families are REALLY not helping. Loudmouth anti-social contrarian types aren't helping. Society's double standards on child abuse is not helping (an infant/kid is allowed to grow up in the most violent family and setting imaginable, but a suburban mom loses custody if her 9-year old walks home from school?). Etc. Etc. The realistic answer is that society - especially now with all the BLM, critical race theory, microaggression inventions, and other one-way conversations - isn't willing to address the core issues when discussing crime. Instead, we're distracting ourselves with changing team names, having new holidays, and seeking old social media posts for anything potentially prejudicial - none of which has an impact on the eventual 650 homicides in Chicago this year, 150 or so in Cleveland, 500 in NYC, etc. I consider myself liberal, but my god do they not make it easy sometimes. There does need to be a conversation on race, but it has to be a legitimate one that discusses both institutional racism and also that enabled subculture of violence.

Brecksville: Valor Acres Development
The tax revenue doesn't help the community?

Richmond Heights: Belle Oaks (Richmond Town Square Redevelopment)
I do hope this project goes through but am tired of the booster cliches from developers. That sales pitch of "redefining" Richmond Hts is such mularkey, and we hear variations of it for every single project and proposal. It'll be a nice development - sure beats a dead mall - if it goes through, but let's not act like it'll have a real impact on Richmond Hts issues. A more grounded presentation would be much more refreshing.
