  1. That sits behind my favorite house in the city... https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4876609,-81.7130433,3a,75y,332.83h,89.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1skU_jviuE3uiG8tBXKm-h6g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

    Sorry @E Rocc! That's ruin the serenity of that place! And I expect DustinFox to enter the thread very soon to tell us this is why no one is moving to the National Park anymore...
  3. Yeah it's not bad! Just remember most of us will hate anything...
  4. Well said. There are currently no businesses on the near West side making profits...
  5. Little mod step-in here. We can make points against trolls without calling them idiots... ...his comments shout it loud in enough for all of us to reach the same conclusion on our own.
  6. .... cmon. it's not comparable. At all.
  7. I invested in an e-bike for my commute and was just told that my garage (Key Tower) charges for racking your bike in the garage. Besides being flabbergasted, does anyone know somewhere that they'd be comfortable locking a nice e-bike near Key Tower.

    And one final point. Jed Wills does not like playing football anymore. I hope someone can get through to him because his effort right now is not aligning with his natural ability.
  9. It's my block club too - and I'll be there with you. But holy hell some of our neighbors are stupid - I feel bad saying that but it's true. It's like they're all cosplaying Portlandia characters 95% of the time, and then whenever a vote comes around that would (God forbid) add a higher density project to the neighborhood they become Cletus from Lodi. The design isn't my taste, but it's thoughtful and it won't age poorly. I'm not sure what more I could ask?

    Lol. I billed 200+ hours the last few months and have an 8 month old now, so time has been scant. HOWEVER, I have 18 minutes before my first call of the day, so here goes: Special Teams Bojo is special. Dude is a GREAT punter and Schwartz and the defense owe at least part of its success to his net punt average. Hopkins is exactly who we need him to be - around 80% from 40 - 45. DPJ - for the love of God.... only field it if you can get your hips under it. Defense One of my biggest gripes with Joe Woods was that he wouldn't rotate Myles Garrett from 9 technique to 1, 3, and 5. Granted, we have more interior talent this year, but it's so nice seeing him line up on a guard or even center occasionally. As evidenced by the now viral clip, it's VERY hard to scheme Myles Garrett out of a play if he isn't limited on where he lines up. You essentially need to rely on the QB to change the protection, formation, and assign a max protection, which limits the number of skill players available to run routes. Grant Delpit is a f****ng stud. JOK is a f****ng stud. HOWEVER, their studliness is due in part to how effective our 3 and 5 techniques have been at occupying blocks or even commanding double teams. I cannot tell you how important these two will be this week - as they're both extremely quick and able to shed blocks well. Schwartz will likely have them in zone - or at least cover 1/2 - most of the game in order to keep eyes on Lamar, and these two can actually catch him. If we get after him and the secondary stays disciplined, we match up well against Baltimore. Part of Delpit's success, imo, has been Schwartz's willingness to dumb down some of our coverages. For as great as he is, Delpit does not have a high IQ - he's an instinctual player. If he can operate within generalized rules and guidelines versus needing pre-snap and mid-snap reads to adjust assignments, he's better. Juan Thornhill is an unsung hero. He gets in windows and CONSTANTLY forces quarterbacks into their third and fourth reads. He's also very good at man coverage for a safety. Offense For the love of God, back the hell off of Stefanski. There isn't a coach in the NFL that has a secondary gameplan for when they lose their historically good feature back. Yesterday was evidence that the guy can adjust. He knew he couldn't rely on first down runs to get them to second and medium, so he put Deshaun in situations where he could get a rhythm on early downs. Titans actually ran a lot of zone yesterday, and Stefanski smothered them with 2-beaters. At one point, Ford would've had a 30+ yard reception if he'd settled in the SCIF (which was where Deshaun threw it to him), but he missed his read - the fact that Stefanski had a playcall where our 3rd and 4th receivers are coming open is AWESOME. Deshaun showed what he can do. I hope he learns to slide again, though. Some of those hits were brutal and unnecessarily so. Expect to see us work the middle of the field with a LOT of RPO this week. I wish RPO was utilized a little more, because Deshaun is great at reading it and without Chubb, it gives us a an emergency lever to pull when teams have 7-8 in the box. We should've had 30+, and would've if the ref didn't blow the call on Amari's catch. (I'm also sick of Gene Steratore rationalizing every blown call... just say "he's human, he missed it. You all mess up sometimes at your job." I'd get that and understand). Overall, losing a game the way the Browns did in Pittsburgh would've ended a season for previous Browns teams. It's impressive that they not only bounced back, but did so in a dominant fashion against a decent and well-coached team. This is a big game this week, though. A 3-1 Browns team is in a really good space moving forward. Fortunately, our worst case scenario after next week is moving back to .500, which is a luxury not afforded to our teams often lol.
  11. FWIW I've heard that the new condos in the old Holiday Inn building are selling very well, for above-market prices. That's encouraging if any developers are considering going for sale versus rental.
  12. Well here's a story that I'm still fuming about... Two weeks ago, my garage was full - and I only needed to be in the office for about an hour. I had enough change for 57 minutes on the timer. I went in and walked out a little over 80 minutes later... to three parking tickets, all of them written within 19 minutes of each other.... all under the same windshield wiper...

    I have a busy work-week so this will be brief, but I strongly disagree with a lot of Browns fans/local media analysis... In short, we'd clearly incorporated a lot of man blocking schemes into the game plan, because Bitonio, Teller, and Pocic excel at it. Expect to see that switch back to zone blocking this week with a lot of wide flowing plays and then naked boots for Deshaun on the back end. Jerome Ford doesn't have the smash mouth gear that Chubb had, he does better in flow situations and I expect that will help his productivity as well. As someone who's been on a field when our only all-american broke his leg - there is no pivot in a playbook to substitute for a guy giving you 5 yards a pop. I don't have my emergency bells on for Deshaun yet, but if my thoughts are correct and Stefanski designs calls to give him room to work and he still doesn't play well, then I'll be sounding the alarms.
  14. I've never said this before in my life - but I think we need an autocratic executive at either the county or city level to go in one term and blow up all bureaucratic red tape and streamline efficiency (i.e. put suburbs feet to the fire over regionalization).
  15. Correct me if I'm wrong, but would rebranding to condos versus apartments allow them to get better financing on the construction based upon the projected sales prices of the units?
  16. Which is also part of the reason that police departments are leaving some suburbs near insolvency. But that's for another thread.

    Specialists are all about finding a reset button. Some can and others can't. I hope Cade can, because he's got the talent to be a great one.
  18. Coshocton's historical downtown is really cool
  19. Thanks! I played football at Hiram College so visited Granville and Gambier frequently! @Gramarye
  20. Hi Everyone - I'm doing a little pet project, and would like everyone's input. Please use this thread to nominate your favorite downtown of a non-metro (Three C's, Akron, Toledo, Dayton, Y'Town). I'll start off: - Chagrin Falls - Lebanon - Cuyahoga Falls - Medina
  21. Sorry for derailing the conversation from the thread like a good mod... And I think it's actually a little unregistered offshoot of the Buckeye trail, we do reach there from the Pine Lane trailhead, though
  22. If you're into hiking, there's also a great view from one of the Pine trails in the national park, one of the hills pops out above I-80 - it's a bit off the beaten path but worth it!
  23. The trade is wholly dependent on the Guardians' ability to get Syndegaard back in form, IMO. If Tito & Co. get him to even 75% of what he was, the rotation is in good shape
  24. Honestly I wouldn’t have given mod powers to me, a giant 4 year old
