  1. Billy Cundiff for his career is 23.8% from 50+ yards. 5 for 21. And 3 of those 5 he made was way back in 2003, so hes been struggling since that year. Phil Dawson is 70.6% for 50+ yards but has gotten better with time and has gained the trust to where he has been able to attempt more. In the last two years phil is 14 of 15 from 50+, 93.33%. The one he missed was because of a bad snap, so not even his fault.
  2. ^its like that tv show where they put a car out with the doors unlocked and keys inside and when someone steals it the cops can manually lock the doors and stop the vehicle.
  3. Billy Cundiff? Really.....
  4. I would guess apartments would face the north and south(obviously) and the east. The center western half of the building will be used for parking.
  5. Partially. The river and the valley have always divided the west side. The high level bridges made things worse by moving the connection above ground level and creating a further distance. The east and south were always the best locations for downtown neighborhoods. The eastern neighborhoods were replaced with light industry, while the south was destroyed by the highway.
  6. Yes but I don't believe I would ever use that number. Cleveland still has a weak core comparatively. Additionally Downtown Cleveland is very isolated from surrounding neighborhoods. Boston for instance has nearly 60,000 residents in downtown adjacent neighborhoods within walking distance, not divided by rivers, highways, industry, or valleys. The number is even greater when you cross those barriers. The population is highly educated, with high income. "Downtown Cleveland" may be close to "Downtown Boston's" population but is meaningless as Boston has the North End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and other neighborhoods feeding directly into downtown's greater population and activity/business.
  7. I think when people say suburban schools are better they are talking in a general sense, and not specifically talking about the teachers. Westlake Highschool is a better school than Glenville. A child is more likely to succeed at Westlake than Glenville. Its not because Westlake has better teachers, its because of who the child would be hanging around and what the culture is like at the school. Also if suburban schools do have better teachers, not saying they do, could it be because they are more attractive a place to work than a Glenville? I dont think you can fault a parent for wanting to send their child to Westlake at its current condition rather than Glenville at its current condition.
  8. I still think part of the problem is the schools themselves, but obviously the main problem is the students, the parents and the culture. Lakeside Highschool in Ashtabula is 62.4% economically disadvantaged. Collinwood Highschool in Cleveland is 100% economically disadvantaged. Look at the Economically Disadvantaged for the the best comparison. Lakewide performance http://reportcard.education.ohio.gov/Pages/School-Report.aspx?SchoolIRN=001123 Collinwood performance http://reportcard.education.ohio.gov/Pages/School-Report.aspx?SchoolIRN=006940
  9. Yeah it's on the list above as part of the new units number.
  10. Geneva, Ashtabula and other poor districts have far better performance grades and they are nowhere near wealthy. And obviously it's not an exact comparison. Never meant to imply it was.
  11. Alright found it... First we must add 668 Euclid Avenue which is not included in the census. About 342 people. With my numbers I got about 1.4477 people per unit. This is on the high side though so expect the actual count to be slightly lower than these estimates. The Rosetta Center, 1717 East 9th Street, Reserve Square, Chester Commons, Avenue District, Breuer Tower, 1010 Euclid Avenue, and Hanna Annex will add 1,025 units downtown. This will add about 1,483 residents to the total. The Langston seems to be adding at a 2 people per unit rate so with both Phase 1 and 2, it should add around 616 people. This brings new residents up to 2,099. When all is complete this raises the total to 9,884.
  12. CLE OH, do you have enough data to make a ROM (Rough Order or Magnitude) or a WAG (Wild *ss Guess) as to the population today? Ha. I do, I just need to find it first. I posted it on this website somewhere awhile ago. I take added units and multiply it by the average household size in downtown cleveland, which is somewhere sound 1.5 people. The only building I do differently is the Langston since they are not your typical unit.
  13. I did not include inmates in those numbers. I have sex/age/race statistics on them but did not post them. 1,813 men, 211 female.
  14. ^ I think this draft might fit Mike Lombardi's draft record well...
  15. ^2010.
  16. Raw Census Data for Downtown Cleveland which includes everywhere South of Lake Erie, East of the Cuyahoga River, North and West of I90. Total: 7,443 White alone : 3,682 Black or African American alone: 2,771 American Indian and Alaska Native alone: 20 Asian alone: 730 Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone: 5 Some Other Race alone: 59 Two or More Races: 176 Male: 4,479 Female: 2,964 Under 5: 178 15 to 17: 25 25 to 29: 1,668 60 to 84: 648 85 and over: 41
  17. So I decided to look at every census block within Downtown Cleveland. South of Lake Erie, East of the Cuyahoga River, North and West of I90. This number includes everyone but prisoners. So homeless shelters and public housing/section 8 are included. I only mention this because they are not the typical group we speak of as moving back to the city as part of a trend. Here are the numbers. Total Population - 7,443 Population Under 30 - 3,801 Another interesting thing to note is that child population drops dramatically as age increases. Children Under 5 years old - 178 Children 15 to 17 years old - 25 Once adults turn 30 the population declines fast as well. Population 25 to 29 years old - 2,045 Population 35- 39 years old - 408
  18. Exactly. So basically Cleveland has the largest theater district in the United States (owned by one company) outside of the Lincoln Center in New York? Denver claims the same. Not that exciting. Seats are more impressive, although filling them is more important as vacant seats dont add much. I would think number of high quality shows/total annual attendance would be the major things to look at.
  19. ClevelandOhio replied to a post in a topic in Urbanbar
    Sunday will still be nice. Congratulations on 6 years! I hope you two have a good time.
  20. Thanks for the info!
  21. Ha! Thanks for the addition to my list! Denver even goes as far as saying second in the WORLD!
  22. How do I act like one? Because I don't believe every fluff piece as if it is 100% true. Because I recognize most young people still prefer cars over transit? Prefer suburbs over the city? If I had it my way there would be no highways, no density under 20k per square mile(which basically wipes out all of Cleveland), a massive subway system/passenger rail system, no building setbacks, and no wide avenues(Cleveland's staple). Walking would be the top form of transportation, followed by transit and rail. And historical preservation would be a top priority. Please find Republican with those views, let alone one of those views.
  23. Behind New York.... You hear it all the time, and it makes me cringe every time. So does when local news anchors say "Downtown Cleveland", but thats a different topic. What exactly does this stat mean? We aren't the only city to claim this accomplishment, or something similar. Houston: "More than two million people visit the Houston Theater District annually to experience its magic and excitement. With 12,948 seats for live performances and 1,480 movie seats, the Houston Theater District ranks second behind New York City for the number of theater seats in a concentrated downtown area." Minneapolis: "Dubbed the Hennepin Theatre District, this downtown area boasts more theater seats per capita than any other U.S. city outside of New York. These theaters sparkle with award-winning productions and talent." Detroit: "Did you know that Detroit is home to the second largest theatre district in the United States behind only New York City's?" Edit: Thanks KJP! Ha! Denver: "The Denver Performing Arts Complex is the second largest performing arts center in the world after New York City's Lincoln Center."
  24. Im not a republican and I dont listen to or watch any republican news. Additionally I hate driving and have no interest in cars. I hope/plan on never living in a suburb and I hate suburban design style. How many young people have moved to Downtown, Ohio City, Tremont, Gordon Square, etc. from the suburbs? Combined its less than 15,000. Its not hard to see that 15,000 people is not a majority by any means for this region. And the number could possibly be less than 10,000. Edit: While trying to find an article, rather than raw census data I came across this article. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2013/01/clevelands_urban_scene_gets_a.html
  25. Last time I was there it was extremely dead and very depressing. These are positive steps forward, but it is still far from where it needs to be.
