Do they offer an all inclusive rate? ............. asking for a friend

Great stuff KJP[/member]

Friends of mine toured the Residences at Hanna last week. They tell me the leasing officer they met with felt the need to be candid with them about "construction beginning within the next month" :) :)

Not a question... But I'm getting drunk tomorrow, you guys. Big time.

I love walking around and talking to people during these kind of events. All of the feedback I've gotten, sans the weather, has been excellent

^Great insight! I’ll check it out. I’ve heard some less than stellar things about some of the neighborhoods surrounding the French Quarter. Is that any concern?

Can't do Ireland without my dad. And I really don't want it to last more than 2-3 nights, so I don't think Europe is in play. Love the suggestion though. I also have thought of the bourbon trail

Finalists are: Las Vegas, Iceland, New Orleans (for a Browns away game). Right now the group rates offered to Vegas are hard to pass up You seem like a sophisticated gent--I'd go NOLA. Some of the party of Vegas with much more history and character. Edit: I forgot to mention, having been to Iceland, the drinks are priced as you might expect in a remote island nation. Going out to bars and restaurants is SUPER expensive, so your flight savings may be quickly eaten up (pun intended). I hear you, and I'd love a fine Bourbon and cigar on a leather couch in the French Quarter, I'm just trying to be cognisant of my friend's check books. I'd like to keep the total (mandatory) cost for the weekend under $500. Our flights to Vegas would be $98/man and $112/night at the Mirage, with two guys to a room. Might be tough to turn down. I've been to Vegas twice, and never NOLA, but I have been to Baton Rouge. I'd choose NOLA if we could make it more economical for 16 people

BUMP

It's where my grandparents and parents got married. I will be getting married there next year. I will also be there Saturday morning for the St. Patrick's Day Mass. One of the coolest traditions in Cleveland, in my opinion. Fun story/folklore about St. Colman's that you may enjoy eastvillagedon[/member] ... In the late 1800s, the Irish were being more or less forced from their neighborhood strongholds, formerly Irishtown Bend (what is now the Franklin Rd. Hill behind W. 25th) and the Angle (near present-day W. 25th and Bridge). They petitioned the bishop at the time about the problem, worried that they would all be forced too far from their parishes at the time - St. Malachi (25th and Detroit) and St. Patrick's (Bridge Ave). The Bishop allegedly provided an answer that was less than satisfactory and in fact disparaging to the local Irish community and their habits. So, as a response, Father O'Callaghan took his congregation to look for greener pastures elsewhere, with a chip on their shoulder. Determined to break free of Irish stereotypes and to stick one to the Bishop, O'Callaghan deliberately broke Church doctrine at the time - which was that no church was allowed to be built that is larger than the Diocese's Cathedral. St. Colman's today sits on W. 65th, filled with impeccable marble, ornate gold, and (as legend has it), 20 sq ft larger than the Cathedral downtown.

Few churches top St. Colman's as far as I'm concerned. Built by Irish immigrants at a time when they were viewed as less capable than others, they set out to prove everyone wrong when they built this gem for their community.

^Should be

It is not required haha, though we did watch it in our civil litigation clinic

Not to be a dick, but the fact that motivational speakers even exist blows my mind.

Cranes in the air, and 30,000 tourists headed to town this weekend :)

As an Irish American, I could honestly eat potatoes at every meal so I'm all in here.

Call me crazy, but I think that spot should go the OPPOSITE direction. No signage, no wall paint, nothing. Just make it a "well-known secret" style speakeasy. Specialize the place in high-end cocktails, reduce the food to just small bites. A Velvet Tango Room of sorts Downtown

Been that way for at least 3+ years

So, my fiance and I were talking last night and I presented a question that's been bugging me for a while... About midway up the Key Tower, there are three floors that are continuously lit, regardless of the time of day. Does anyone know who/what these floors belong to and why they are always lit?

In one day we’ve went from historically bad to 7-9 lol

^^^That house in parcel 1 must be 6,000 sq ft. SHEEEEESUS

Absolutely mesmerized by the "mill row" picture. You don't see that much in Ohio, really awesome piece of history

Ending a sentence with a proposition is something up with which I will not put

East Cleveland will not survive the next corruption scandal.
