CLEJoe

I've been trying to share my "Clean Up Cleveland" idea with ParkWorks where bars or other organizations would sponsor clean up events at areas like Edgewater Park. I'm meeting with them this week. Feel free to message me if interested in volunteering or if you have any other thoughts!

Awesome! I take it you like living down there then? Any tips? Words of wisdom?

Thanks! Are you at 668 or the E 4th 'hood?

I'm a convert-ish. The "ish" is because I've always supported local sports teams (Cleveland) and defended my city - but I didn't know why I was defending it. I couldn't name any neighborhoods and I never spent any time in the city beyond sporting events, because of the same "gloomy" attitude that has already been addressed in this forum. Long story short, I've lived in LA, traveled overseas, seen most of the country and most recently got the heck out of Chicago for Cleveland. There was a point during my time in LA that I decided I wanted to get to know Cleveland better, despite warnings that I would get shot, stabbed or abducted by aliens. It wasn't long after moving to Chicago that I wanted out and back to Cleveland to take part in the ongoing Renaissance. Now I'm 110% in love with Cleveland and wouldn't live anywhere else if you paid me.

Old thread, but as someone moving into 668 - I thought I'd respond! They gave me the "wait list" speech, too, but it sounded like they'd prefer to give out a place to whoever bugs them the most rather than going through contacting people on a wait list. We were lucky enough to be able to schedule a viewing and I followed up with emails after we decided we'd like to move in. Since then, I've made a deposit on a place and we're due to move in no later than August 1st! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions... Although I haven't moved in yet, I've certainly spent a decent amount of time in the area and took the time to meet the owner/bartenders at Caddyshack! Cheers, Joe
