^ Yeah you are right. It is slightly confusing because I generally consider the Lake to be North although thats not necessarily true. So to clear things up, expansion could happen toward the river or toward Stonebridge.

As McCleveland noted expanding to the front of the building would not be simple at all. It would destroy the facade. East or west are simplest ways that expansion can go.

I'm starting to wonder the same thing. Did his family and friends stage an intervention, with a nice big intervention sign? Was he forced to quit cold turkey? These are important questions that need answering.

I would agree that due to topography Pittsburgh has much less sprawl than other Midestern Cities. If you look on a map you can see that there were very limited areas to actually place freeways, basically through a valley. And these areas would have been natural transit corridors.

remember. keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I think thats what a seat on this board equates to.

The one in the new NCB building is only accesible to emmployees, its on the inside of the access gates. So I would not really include that one in the list. Plus I am hoping that this wont be simialr to CVS, which fills a different need.

darn forgot about Moriarity, that palce is good and divey. And work right next to there.

Isnt this represnative of supply and demand. There is now a demand for this type of space because of the supply of apartments that has sprung up in the area. I know everyone wants things like this to pop up immediatly, afterall we do live in an "everything right now" world, but it does take time for developers/small business to prove that there is a market for these services.

I think downtown needs more hole in the wall bars. Everything is either sports bar, Just about everything gateway, higher end bar, e 4th mostly, or clubby, WHD. And along the side of another building off an ally like street is perfect for it, if it is hole in the wall-y. I really cant think of a good hole in the wall bar downtown.

^^From the sounds of it, Nuti had his mind made up a while ago.

I know that between PS and E 9th all the planters were still on pallets, as if they had jut been off loaded from their truck. You can see markings on the sidewalk of where they are going to go and, I think, which direction the end of the wrap will be. Also, although the growing season may be ending, there are certian plants that will onlt now be starting to bloom and so on, as well as probably having been grown specifically for this project. And with the them keeping them filled year round I'm sure there has been much planning about what variety of plants to use. All good things to those who wait . . .

I meant for the current futures trading. Yes the previous swings were and are still going to be pretty wild. I am just suprised with how mild they are projecting the increase in price to be.

All oil fututres are trending up, but there are no outragous swings. Just a long protracted rise. Wait isnt that what housing prices were supposed to do?

^They are deliciously aweful. :evil: I think a little piece of me dies when I eat there.

PD doing positive stories and posters not trashing the entire article and making valid points. Hell must be getting colder. Cleveland gets rave reviews from travel writers in town for conference Posted by Stan Donaldson and Trevor Hunnicutt/Plain Dealer Reporters June 03, 2009 22:41PM Tracy Boulian/The Plain Dealer What we take for granted in Cleveland, a group of travel writers found unique. Some of the sights they liked: Big Fun in Cleveland Heights; the Christmas Story House in Tremont; and East Fourth Street, downtown's newest entertainment district. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2009/06/cleveland_gets_rave_reviews_fr.html

It wasnt out on the lake just an taken looing south east from GLSC. It was a nice shot though. I think the point they were trying to make at that point was that we will need different power sources scattered all around. Put I recall that we discussed on here somewhere that Wind turbines in urban enviroments wont work due to the swirling winds created by the buildings. Ohh well still a nice shot.

Interersting layout for the locker room. Seperate rooms for Shower/Toilet and one big locker room for everyone instead of seperate facilities for men and women.

Mayor any idea when the Bike Station is set to be completed?

I saw a friendly a while back, 2-3 years, at cleveland browns stadium. It was a really great experiance. we had dawg puond seats about 7 rows back and the goal is right on top of you. Almost got dinged by a shot that went wide.

Vivo has had the signs up for two weeks, maybe three. Definetly an interesting space.

^This is my thought. Why not just build a light rail line from dayton CBD to Faiborn/Riverside and be done with it. Less stops on the maine line and everyone is connected.

wow MTS that is a pretty in depth look at your inner self. I feel like we should of had drinks first or something.

Exactly. I know Dan and I use credit cards and pay of the balance each month. It makes it so much easier to keep track of spending, create and maintain a budget and get credit card protection on various items. Yes, Doing this is great for us. I would argue that as long as you can bring the balance to zero every 3-4 months you would not be paying enormous amounts in interest. Plus it is nice when you earn money back on the card, we recently had a near 10K bill for one month that we paid off at the end of the month. Needless to say there was a check attached with that bill for our cash back.

Ideally that is what credit cards were created for. Is making a purchase and paying it back over time. The problem occurs when it becomes cyclical. If you were to buy something and only that one item and pay it off over 3-6 months the amount of interest would not be that great (assuming you didn;t just buy a car with a credit card). Unfortenatly, many people instead will maintain a continuous balance without ever paying it down/off. Also, I have an issue with credit cards being considered evil. They are not evil, they do exactly as they allow. It is what people do with them that causes problems. P.S. I do agree that there needs to be more regulation in the industry. It became a little too loose for its own good, and now we are going to see a brand new lock down of credit when the CC debt comes to roost.
