^ Yes! I just found this out the hard way. I was told by an RTA officer that a 1-Trip fare expires after one hour of purchase. Because I tried to be proactive and buy both fares at the start of my trip. It's really dumb...I'm guessing it's because of 'proof of purchase'? But then why wouldn't a 5-Trip fare expire. The logic fails me.

It's disappointing the lack of political leaders in Cleveland, specifically mayoral candidates. The city seems to be 'bouncing back' in spite of the politicians, not because of them. :/

I recieved a survey from the Indians floating the idea of a $15 SRO ticket for the new bar and it would come with your first beer free. I hope they do this.

Having the city maintain the boardwalk would not be a good thing. They can barely provide routine maintenance to city infrastructure as it is...They'd be spending the absolute minimum. I'm sure Wolstein wanted to go this route because they'd have greater control over how their money is spent...and there is no option to diverting some of the funds generated here to other parts of downtown. I'm not saying that the things slated for the tax shouldn't be on the developer, but you also can't tell them how to spend their money. Without a dedicated stream of money, it's all gonna come down to business.

I'm most excited about the dual level bar :) I'd like to see the progress on that.

Boy that's depressing. But then again, Ohio usually isn't very forward thinking and Cleveland definitely isn't.

"@Indians: Stay locked here today, Tribe fans! At 1:30, we'll announce major additions to our renovated Right Field District for 2015!" Hmm....

Wow, yeah that company seems like a mess right now. And the restaurant reviews were definitely not glowing. But I agree (in my unqualified opinion) that there is a market for this type of place, as the only two real 'country' bars around NEO are in Medina and Rootstown. But then again I like country music :)

Thanks MuRrAy HiLL! There was a comic in my University's newspaper titled 'Enginerds.' Who doesn't love a little self-depreciating humor? :) It seems like the 'Jenga' effect would very much hinge on the type of glass they use on the exterior of the tower. You can see in the hotel bridge section they show the use of different glass to mimic the effect of the tower. It looks like the designers intent to me...although in practice I don't know how well it works!

38% of the space is parking...holy moley! Can't say I like that, but if that's what it takes to make the project feasible to build so be it. Probably a sure fire money maker (sadly).
