  10. I'll be impressed if you can get this quickly
  11. Montevideo?
  12. great. some of those look they were in taken in Europe.
  13. I thought that New York's Lincoln Center was the biggest.
  14. Yea, I should've done that, but I was in a hurry to get home, so it didn't even cross my mind.
  15. Last Saturday, I flew back to CLE from DC and decided to take the rapid home. I have a lot of pride in Cleveland and was excited to be riding the red line for the first time in years. However, when I borded the train, I noticed that there was trash all over the car which was really disappointing to see, especially after riding the squeaky clean Metro all week. Then, the lights and air conditioning shut off in the car from about Brookpark to W. 65th. The car was filthy and I was afraid to touch anything. Once I got to Tower City, I borded a Green Line train and found it to be much more clean and free of litter. I usually only ride the Green and Blue lines, and I hope that my bad experience on the Red Line was just a one time incident, because I would have been embarrassed if someone from out of town was on that train.
  16. I hate people who think they are funny and think they are smart but are not either (i.e. Jon Stewart).
  17. Closing the square off to traffic is a bad idea. However, I would like to see the streets narrowed and re-paved in brick to make them less hostile looking.
  18. Ambler Heights and Euclid Heights were two 'garden suburbs' that combined to form Cleveland Heights; Euclid Heights was the area around Cedar Hill and it served as a model for the Van Sweringen's Shaker Heights. Also, Nottingham was a former town that was absorbed by Cleveland, which is why E. 185th turns into Nottingham Rd. south of I-90.

    Not sure if this has been posted already, but I didn't see it anywhere. March 29, 2006 Ding, Ding, Ding Downtown trolleys are back…and free CLEVELAND - After a nearly 60-year absence, trolleys will roll once again on downtown streets, offering a way to experience Cleveland’s past and future at the same time. Beginning April 10, office workers and tourists will be able to hop on one of two trolley lines developed by RTA to replace Loop bus service. The E-Line trolley will link entertainment venues, from the Warehouse District at West Ninth Street, down Euclid Avenue past Playhouse Square to East 21st Street. The B-Line trolley will connect business, circling Superior and Lakeside Avenues between West Sixth and East 12th Streets. Both lines will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with 10-minute frequency. If the nostalgic green-and- gold vehicles, complete with cow catchers, wooden rails, and brass bells, don’t put a smile on the face of downtown travelers, the price of riding will. The trolleys are free now through Labor Day for -- a smile. This was accomplished through a partnership between RTA and the Cleveland Convention & Visitors Bureau. RTA is studying the feasibility of maintaining the appealing “smile” fare indefinitely. Characters from the past will help reintroduce trolleys to Clevelanders. Radio commercials feature the voice of a 20’s vaudeville promoter, describing the trolleys as the “Cat’s Pajamas.” Trolley jingles accompany the spots, sung by a chorus line of bathing beauties. And on the Indians home opener April 7, nearly 100 newsboys with capy hats and cotton news bags will descend on downtown, spreading the word in building lobbies, street corners, and at the Jake, “the trolleys are back.” The newsboys will descend on downtown, spreading the word in building lobbies, street corners, and at the Jake, “the trolleys are back.” Combining fun with functionality was the impetus for the downtown trolley lines. RTA worked with Cleveland Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Downtown Cleveland Alliance to develop the concept. Public meetings were also held to understand the changing transportation needs of office workers, college students, and a growing downtown group of residents. “We hope the trolleys will cause office workers to break away for lunch to meet friends on the other side of downtown,” said RTA General Manager Joe Calabrese. “By making the trip free and creating a 10-minute frequency, we removed any barriers for hopping on and exploring. The “smile” fare should come naturally, but it also says, ‘let’s enjoy our downtown again.’” Along with canvassing office workers and residents with flyers and advertisements, RTA is working with the hotel concierges to communicate the benefits of the new trolley lines to out-of-town guests. Operators with a gift for gab and knowledge of Cleveland’s history were also selected to drive the trolleys – serving as ambassadors for the city. They will dress in vintage uniforms, with motorman hats and vests. Dennis Roche, President of the Cleveland Convention & Visitors Bureau, sees the trolleys as a great way for people to experience all that downtown has to offer. “Great restaurants, unique music and comedy venues, and outdoor reading gardens – places that, along with well-known attractions like Playhouse Square and the Avenue at Tower City, are now just minutes away with the trolleys,” said Roche. http://www.riderta.com/nu_newsroom_releases.asp?listingid=865

    It seems thus far Frank Jackson's been proving me wrong. Let's hope he keeps it up.
