Does he have an email list i can sign up for? I don't do twitter

I thought the way it works is the movie takes huge paper losses while the real profits flow up to the parent co, in order to screw over the actors/writers/etc on royalties.

Ultimately the "light rail" cars will still be traveling through grade separated, heavy rail tracks on the red line portion, which is the most important part IMO.

This is 2018 numbers but look here: http://www.city.cleveland.oh.us/sites/default/files/forms_publications/2018CAFR.pdf?id=137549 Go to pdf pages 61-62, or 60-61 if you use the printed page numbers on the bottom of the document. Main thing to focus on is the general fund. They basically had $186 million at the end of 2018 "in the bank" with $67 million of that "Assigned." On the next page you can see that year's total general fund revenue was $600 million with expenses of $533 million. So they should be able to absorb a drop in revenue for a few years. As far as income tax collections YTD 2020 vs the same point in 2019, that'd be an easy public records request, maybe I'll put one in. They aren't the fastest but they always get it to you (in my limited experience). There also could be a report out there online somewhere that already exists, or a news agency could have reported on it. I do worry about the impact of if more people WFH going forward. Not a five alarm fire right now but it's a concern. The real Ohio law is that the city you are physically located in gets the tax $, not the office address. There is temporary relief on this during COVID, but it could be an issue in the future.

They do, it's been a few years since I looked at the financials but I do recall that they have a rainy day fund that's been building since coming out of the recession/raising the income tax, and it's never been touched since then, so far at least.

Get ready for false positives to become part of the cocktail of conspiracy theories.

I read Shaker used to have a program (not sure if it still exists) to try to prevent one neighborhood or another from being to homogeneous. They'd subsidize people of one race to buy homes that were in areas that were leaning towards the other race. Not sure how it plays out on the ground, I don't know enough about Shaker neighborhoods and you'd probably have to live there for a long time to really get a feel for that.

The Best Cities To Live In For Fans Of Rock And Roll Museums And The Cleveland Browns https://www.theonion.com/the-best-cities-to-live-in-for-fans-of-rock-and-roll-mu-1844466314

I'm not the biggest sports fan these days and mostly just watch when Cleveland teams or maybe OSU football have big games, but I might watch some NBA when it restarts. A two month season sounds fun and short enough to hold my attention. ? Probably will just become a temporary Lakers fan because LeBron.

Almost a kind of ancient greece/rome vibe with the leaf-crown thing. Kind of interesting no American teams use that kind of Caesars Palace style theming

Guardians, using the Lorain Carnegie Bridge guardians as the logo, is the real and true answer. It feels so right, it feels more Cleveland than the Indians, I want it and I want it yesterday.

Not a fan of the Walleye. Too reminiscent of the Marlins

I am definitely a traditionalist for baseball so I get where you're coming from, but I think something that honored the history of Cleveland if not the history of Cleveland baseball, would be great. I definitely think the uniforms should be understated and retro-feeling as opposed to futuristic colors or that type of thing. Give me something that I could feasibly see being done in 1915 and it'd satisfy the traditionalist in me. Spiders, Naps etc were used so briefly, we shouldn't limit ourselves.

That's great, I didn't know that was the origin.

I loved Chief Wahoo as a kid in the 90s. I didn't know anything about the negative aspects but to me he was just a really happy dude that Kenny Lofton and Omar Vizquel wore on their hats. Then I learned a few things and realized his time was past, and I got over it. I understand all the happy memories people have and the need for a type of mourning, but it's sad that so many others can't let it go. Things change in life, they don't stay the same forever. I do think people will probably be more desensitized to the name change since the Chief is already gone.

Honestly this is an opportunity for us to get a team name that really represents the city and local culture. Something that isn't necessarily uncommon in pro sports, but it's not the norm, as most of the classic baseball team names were quite generic 100 years ago. "Cubs" "Tigers" "Reds" "Indians" "Giants" etc. Though now iconic, they're originally generic. Yankees is a good one, Brewers is a good one, Washington Senators was really cool and preferable to Nationals IMO. Off the top of my head.

Based on today's Terry Pluto column, there's going to be some awful names proposed. We all might need to get our resources together for a PR campaign to get something good. https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/2020/07/why-are-the-cleveland-indians-changing-their-name-cleveland-colavitos-cleveland-buckeyes-hey-terry.html

That's a great idea. Could see lots of transportation themed imagery. It'd be a UOer/Urban Planner's dream come true...

This is kind of the only beef with my alma mater going from Miami Redskins to RedHawks, I always thought it was a little bland (and I hate that dumb capital H in the middle) and I do hope the tribe can avoid that.

I don't like team names that aren't plural or are inanimate objects, at least in this case. they sound very "90s expansion team" and so not for old teams with long legacies. It wouldn't go well with our retro block C, etc. Baseball in general feels more old-timey. I vote something industrial themed, not necessarily river connected. Something in the spirit of the Collinwood Railroaders, always a personal favorite due to the history of the railroad workers in the neighborhood. Or I guess it's also the spirit of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we can go even more into industrial imagery than they do. Like seriously if we had smoke stacks in our logo it be b**a**!

Damn. I don't even like to send multi-paragraph emails without sitting down at a computer.

Had to laugh because I inadvertently timed the market successfully this week. Did a 401k rollover last week, the money is in transit now, I guess I sold high. I am all index funds and against trying to time the market.

A true patriot.

Thank you as always @KJP

Given their substantial investment in the store and their success, it's unlikely this will be more than an inconvenience for them. People are anxious as hell right now though. And I'll certainly be breathing a sigh of relief when they reopen.
