I doubt that they want to go to Independence. I'd bet that they are just using it as leverage.

I thought that they bought it, even though the PURE sign was still up long after it was purchased. The renovations have taken much longer than anticipated due to permit issues and other general renovation issues.

Salon Zen is moving from Lorain to the old Today's Fashions. I believe that is what you are talking about.

"I can safely walk to east fourth street for night life/groceries/gym/evenings." Walk safely, yes. Walk feeling safe, that all depends on who you are and where you are coming from.

^really? I'd love to take my son there. He LOVES trains (no, KJP is not my son). I'll set up some youtube videos of model trains and let him watch them from his high chair. Any info on how to find out about the Valley Forge shows?

^which complex did you select?

^you can see similar inscriptions on St. Tom Collins and St. Jack and Coke.

Did I miss something over the weekend?

^Downtown, welcome to UO! I must say that is the most unique initial post that I've come across.

^Jackson is not a grandstander. He doesnt' make changes because it will make him look good. He would only do this if he thinks it is good for Cleveland. Council is very parochial. If something is good for Cleveland overall but is bad for his or her ward, then the councilmember will make it seem as if it is bad for the ward, cleveland, ohio, US and the entire world.

CDM, The 120th station (which you refer to as the 105 station) is being moved to Mayfield Rd in Little Italy. This has been mentioned frequently in the Cleveland RTA and UC threads.

^If anything, the w25th scenario is better than it has been in the past few decades. I think sometimes that we romanticize the past to the point that it we are re-creating it. W.25th in 1988 was a no-mans-land.

^If Great Lakes were open on Sundays, then I think West 25th would feel a bit different. I also think that Ohio City is slowly becoming more family-friendly (there are a lot kids being born these days). The mentality of us families is that we don't go out on Sundays to the bars.

^I have a hotmail account. When I log in, there is a main page with "news". At least once a month, there is a "hot cities for xyz". They always mention the same cities. The Media is very good at promoting certain cities over others. While I will never say that Cleveland is a greater city than Chicago, I'm getting a little sick of the Nashvilles, Austins and Charlottes, etc of the world getting all this great press while many of the cities with great architecture, urban fabric and character are never mentioned. It become ridiculous. If the equivalent of E. 4th were located in Nashville or Charlotte, then you'd hear a lot about it in the "national" internet press. It would be "hot". Perception is everything and nothing.

I think that the post had to do with the fact that so many people paint Chicago to be the epitome of city perfection. The flip side to that adulation is that we paint ourselves as the epitome of decay. In Cleveland, we tend to emphasize our weaknesses and downplay our strengths. When we compare ourselves to other cities, we tend to ignore their weaknesses. Chicago is a valid example because many Clevelanders have relocated to or have spent significant time there.

I wasn't saying that they shouldn't do it. I think that they should do it. I just don't want them to try to turn it into some Ukrainian Disneyland thing. Do it well, don't try to be something that you are not. I do think that this is something that would turn out better if they don't spend too much money.

Parma, just be yourself. I was surprised to read that 10% of Parma's population is foreign born.

^but i also thought that the stats didn't include Stonebridge. Is that true?

Urbanite, Thanks for the thoughts. Welcome to UO. My issue with an auto district that it would create very little foot traffic. (For the sake of argument, I'm assuming that the cars could somehow fit inside the existing structures.). Interesting idea, but you don't get that many people looking for high end autos.

If they room together, then they'll have a lot more options.

Welcome to UO! That is my favorite username on this board.

The problem is that we have Garko cemented at first and at least one nice 1b prospect in the minors. maybe we ought to look at trading garko and try to get a solid third baseman during the offseason. I like Garko, but we need a good power 3b. Marte is not the solution (and unless Blake gets hurt, we'll never find out if he can live up to his prior hype).

Well, the fact that the parents are together is oh-so West Side Story-esque.

Check out this site: It gives a good deal of options. http://www.mnip-net.org/CC/CCrent.nsf/home?OpenForm
