I just refinanced from 4 to 2.875. Saving almost $200/month. I say go ahead.

Welcome back to positive territory S&P. We missed you.

Also, if you're dating, colleagues. friends or just an associate with a strange due who is (1) OPENLY rumored to be a cannibal and (2) puts together these incredibly exotic and complex meat dishes, maybe, maybe, MAYBE you should just stick with salad. Question about Walking Dead (almost done with season 4): Do bullets and drinkable water just... show up randomly every morning?

Thanks to YouTube I've been watching old episodes and clips of Another World. I forgot how brutal Frankie's death was.

Wonder if that has to do with a lack of fine dining as well. Still, someone has to be eating at Capital Grille or Cru Uncorked.

Cleveland: Suburban Crime & Safety Discussion
There is a ton of money on the east side that Nordstroms and Saks would miss out on should they relocate. While west side as a whole is safer and with fewer issues, it's also much smaller overall and without the Shaker/Cleveland Hts/Beachwood/Gates Mills/Pepper Pike/etc higher tier shoppers. Granted mall tenants are likely concerned/frustrated/angry with the same-problems-different-mall issues of the last 5-10 years, but still, the region's money is, as a whole, disportionately east.

I didn't even think those cancel culture loons were going after the Indians name. Oh well, welcome back Spiders.

Good grief Tesla. And Amazon is roaring to 3000. Time for a 7-1 split Bezos.

Cleveland: University Circle: Uptown (UARD)
Plum Market is pretty expensive, but a damn good grocery store. I imagine they'll have an attached coffee shop (i.e. Intellegentsia) and wine bar inside. ...and good point about cleveland.com. I've completely stopped going to the site, perhaps a few weeks after comments were shut down. It just isn't that interesting.

Bleh, what a downer.

I'm enjoying Hannibal but my god are some of the characters frustratingly dumb. And enough with the Silence of the Lambs references. Some are so on the nose you just roll your eyes. The prison/asylum doctor is my favorite character. Maybe the show should have revolved around him.

Hereditary was so depressing I turned it off. For all of its acclaim I found it ugly and unpleasant to watch; perhaps you need to be in the right mood. I'm still a fan of Midsummer so I'll give Hereditary another shot sometime time. This weekend I'm going to try Doom Patrol. Big thumbs up for Butterfly Kisses. It's a fake documentary about a filmmaker putting together discovered documentary tapes to form a found footage film. You watch him promote his literally found footage film as well as the film itself. In both cases things start to go haywire, and the events parallel somewhat. It wasn't particularly scary but the premise quite clever and very self-referential. And the guy who played the filmmaker was incredible. The radio scene was something else, very realistic and uncomfortable.

Troll Hunter is incredible. Hell House LLC is pretty good. I know what happens in the sequels but am not all that interested. Houses October Built was DOGsh*t. I just don't understand the appeal. Savageland was boring, and I turned it off. I'm watching Veronica tonight (or possibly tomorrow). Have heard good things. Grave Encounters is still one of my favorites; the similar Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum was very watchable, but not as good as I've heard. Lake Mungo started off slow but really picked up. ...as you can tell, I've been on a found footage kick lately.

Plus Microsoft and Apple racing to the 2 trillion dollar club. Amazon isn't too far behind too. Just a bonkers year. From bear to bull to bear in such a short period of time.

The strangest f'ing year-to-forget continues, as I'm, somehow, up 5.1 percent: Apple, multiple ETFS i.e. Vanguards, Invesco, Roth, Roth IRA... And yet my 401k is down 2.9 percent. WTF? I honestly don't fully understand what I own; one of these days I need to talk to my broker to simplify the information.

Now THAT is absolutely fascinating.

Why should football be any different than other businesses? Sometimes it make sense to work for a company even if they don't give you the biggest offer.

Cleveland: Restaurant News & Info
Presuming he's aware there's a problem, Frank needs to think outside the box to save some restaurants. Start closing certain streets downtown so existing restaurants can expand patios into the streets. Permit and incentivize restaurant food trucks/tented areas all over the Mall, Public Square, Browns stadium, Progressive Field, and city-owned parking lots. Eliminate property taxes on all commercial businesses for 6 months minimum. Permit open containers. Repurpose downtown Ambassadors to act as security against aggressive panhandlers (that sh*t along East 4th must stop).

I just liked the idea of it being all condos; we don't get many opportunities like that. Plus I live across the street and was getting hyped.

Chicago: Developments and News
This project has a host of challenges, with the design (in particular the last minute blowthrough floor that scars the building) and financing/prospective tenants. And that all pails to 1000 S. Michigan. Now THAT is a whole other banana.

I marathoned Extras in only a few days and will be done with After Life tomorrow or Monday. Ricky Gervais does make magic. Santa Clarita Diet is so f'ing GOOD! Are there other shows with that silly tone/style?

Downtown Cleveland after Covid-19
International investors have to park their money somewhere, and NYC is still NYC.

Richmond Heights: Belle Oaks (Richmond Town Square Redevelopment)
I think the biggest surprise/takeoff was that there are still retailers in the mall. Well were.
