Okay I mean... two different colored seats looks putrid...

Hi Cleveland friends - my neighbor threw out this old banker's chair and I snagged it... I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere where I can get this refurbished and if anyone has a ballpark estimate of how much this type of thing would cost? The wood needs to be touched up, the swivel and wheels need to be replaced, and I want to have a new cushion put in on the seat. Thanks! If it's going to be expensive (> $400) someone can feel free to come take it off my hands.

I know she's talented and accomplished and has forgotten more about the restaurant business than I'll ever know... But I think closing the Flying Fig was a mistake. My wife and I went to the Fig probably 10-15x a year and it was always buzzing and the atmosphere was great... When Pearl St. opened I think the menu and atmosphere were significantly more sterile than the Fig, so we stopped going. It's a shame, I loveeeee the location

This must've been a false flag by you anti-car people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in all seriousness, there's a BEAUTIFUL bar in there and they've been renovating for a while. I hope insurance covers it

This stinks! Some major damage to a renovation project on Lorain. I presume a car crashed into it overnight

If Darius Garland would've scored last night I would've hit a 10 leg parlay 😪

I appreciate the update... I can't imagine the shape of some of those reflective barriers upon return...

I drove by this morning and it looks like the traffic calming measures at Bridge and 41st - including the planters and reflectors have all already been removed. The decorative paint is still down though. I hope this is temporary, otherwise that was a short lived experiment.

I'm going to keep deleting ad hominem attacks on locals here. Not much of a value add...

Have you ummm... Have you ever been to Atlanta?

This isn't from an authoritative source, so take it for what it's worth. But I've heard there have been conversations about expanding lakefront service to the stadium (assuming the full lakefront development gets done), and having "feeding" sites - this would include the Flats rail site, The Muni Lot connecting to the stadium by rail, and also an eastern suburb connection at Amtrack.

I know this is at least in part true with Burke, but anyone think a stadium that close to a high-volume airport is a bad idea? Like 70,000 people congregating in a potential crash landing zone of a commercial airliner doesn't seem great. Or maybe I'm just being unduly cautious and the risk is soooo low it is isn't worth as a consideration

Omg Ken don't listen to him I think you're in great shape!!!

Not a KJP level scoop, (and no I can't DM details lol) but I just heard someone involved with the organization that there is an alternative use in mind for the Brook Park parcel. The sole purpose of the purchase was not a stadium

Cleveland Scene & Co. are finally getting what they want, I guess.

RIP Downtown Browns.

Whoever buys NYCB will get some assurances from the govt re: the toxic assets, I'd assume

My last response was - "I'm fairly certain your income would more than permit you to purchase one of these. So my entire issue is that you're lumping a group of people together (into a category which you yourself could fall into) because you're scared some suburban caricature is going to move there and you'll no longer be able to make snarky comments about them - though I suspect the suburban comments will soon be swapped for "they probably moved just to be closer to Townhall". The entire reason we are raising our kids in this neighborhood is so they meet people from every walk of life and to reduce our commute times so we can spend more time with them. Why would you not wish that for someone else? And for the love of God pleeeeease do not suggest these homes built on a vacant hillside are displacing lower income residents." As an aside - this is actually directed at a good friend of mine

It's exhausting. The designs are beautiful. It will help get more people near the city core. It's more eyes on the towpath for safety. It's merely people trying to keep an ultra vague "them" out of this area.

New from the group text: "Why don't we try to make that slope an archaeological site as well? Maybe that designation will slow down the timeline for this project and will make these elitist chodes lose interest." I love where I live but HOOOOOOLY HELL.

looking at those designs, I’d be shocked if they started below $750k

Yes - I know I'm one of the few conservatives on here so I'll gladly call it what it is - reactionary, virtue signaling BS. Not to mention the fact that one of them lives in a beautiful home on a double lot and put up a privacy fence "because the neighbors are a little rough" and drives a $120,000 car... The biggest issue is that "usable land is going to the 1% when it could be used as an addition to the park or bikeway" (that's a copy and paste of one of the texts I got). In short, when the hillside was overgrown with shrubs, and thatch, it was a beautiful value add to the community. When well off people want to move there, it's a blight.

I've gotten some flack for this in my neighborhood group text but idc - I think these are exceptional. And, whether we like it or not, having luxury properties can be beneficial to the sustainability of a neighborhood/area. It's a green flag to investors and also is an indication that people are visibly invested in the neighborhood. The Flats (east from 25th and North of Franklin Road hill) will be DRAMATICALLY different - for the better - in a couple of years.

Perhaps too tangential for this thread - but expanding the rapid to the near west side would help alleviate a LOT of that issue, especially with a direct dropoff at tower city

With the renovations to Progressive Field - will the roof top have any of the field of play in its vision? Would be an amazing spot for a fireworks night, nonetheless.
