This one's my favorite ;)

So PNC is using a lot of tax payer dollars to buy NCB? Would this deal have been possible with out the governmental bailout?

Two weeks ago, I ran the Tow Path Marathon. I finished in 3:54--the best time of my three marathons.

I saw ALOT of BRTs running up and down Euclid today. They were also removing a lot of the E line signs. Will that service stop once the Healthline is fully operational?

^but i heard you hate fall in Cleveland ;) Is it me or have the last two falls been the best in recent memory? We've had perfect weather since mid to late August up here. i spent about one year in the Dominican Republic and I detested the weather after a while. I really got sick of the same weather, day after day after day.

This is one of those articles that looks like it is trying to drum up some controversy. In the end, it just seems like a smart move for all involved.

Hey, does it look like the top two floors of the Prospect side were added on at some point?

^I never saw that go through design review. I would have thought that it would have. Also, the Statler Arms got a sign today.

As a region, 11 Midwestern states and one region won $455 million in the third quarter, a record for health care investments since Northeast Ohio's health care company developer started tracking them in 2005. For the first three quarters of the year, 113 health care startups in the Midwest had attracted nearly $900 million in venture investing, according to the BioEnterprise Midwest Health Care Venture Investment Report. Despite the nation's banking and stock market crises, BioEnterprise President Baiju Shah expects investors to continue to actively invest in Midwest health care startups for several reasons.

Oh now c'mon, it is a fabulous idea. Every 19 minutes, downtown will go crazy!!! ;)

^I think it qualifies as a "building" :)

Neighboring structure news: Not that I've heard that anything is going to happen, but they've been emptying out the old Goodyear tire service center at 14th/Prospect. It has been slow work. I'm assuming that they are just doing it to get the building in shape to show people. They're filling dumpsters with everything and anything. They only have about 3-4 guys working at a time--from what I can see.

That's the old WKYC building. About two years ago, some developer wanted to turn it into an extended stay hotel.

I thought Dolan was just an investor. The project lost momentum when Dolan pulled out years ago.

Interesting. This is just such an odd project. We never ever hear anything about it and then new renderings pop up every once in a while. I agree that this one seems far from reality.

There, fixed that for you :-) MTS, you need to go work for an College or University. Seriously. As an alum of the University-thats-40-miles-to-the-south (akron). I admire the efforts of the current CSU president. When I'm back in Cleveland for convention, I marvel at all of the changes made and forthcoming. CSU is on the cusp on something big. HOWEVER- I just don't think CSU is ready for a football program. There's a lot of competition with other football programs in NEO and of course, the browns. Pitt currently shares Heinz with the Steelers and even though they average over 30,000; it's not really deemed the success they were hoping for. Keep in mind that Pitt is nearly 3 times the size of CSU. I do agree with the name change, though. I don't think that CSU would be gunning for a DI-A program. I think that a DI-AA would be more appropriate.

Back on topic, folks!

If CBS had field turf, then I could see this happening.

In theory, these are great ideas. Name change: State universities that place the city's name before "State University" always sound cheap to me. It would sound better, but the name change process needs to be handled well. Football: If CSU could field a competitive D-1AA program, that would be a huge boost for the campus. I'm glad that he says that it must pay for itself. CSU needs to grow agressively and in a financially-responsible way. An intelligent and a passionate president could balance those two things.

I remember watching him play against my high school back in 1992. He was a man among boys--taller, faster, bigger than anyone else on the field. We were lucky enough to have a freak of our own-- a talented 6'4" db who could somewhat hang with JJ. We beat Lake Catholic that day, but he almost single-handedly pulled out the win.

It was a nice game plan, but the execution is what made the difference.

Key reimburses any fees that you incur with other banks' atms.

I could be wrong, but I thought that the Wells-Fargo scenario was much much better for Charlotte employee numbers.
