  1. Lol it always finds its way into threads... "The Rocky River Reservation seems to be missing something more..." "IKEA!"
  2. Be weary of any report that does its cover page in comic sans.
  3. I can see some of the materials starting to appear above the Oswald building from my office at One Cleveland. Picture won't post for some reason.
  4. ^Had a NIMBY refer to this project as a monstrosity to me this morning. I honestly cannot pick a cooler, more practical, environmentally conscious, and aesthetically pleasing project for that location
  5. When I was in law school, I clerked for a firm that represented solely HOA and Condo Associations - from my experience, I'd recommend against it. But it depends, HOA's where most of the occupants are below 50 tend to be more innocuous. If you live in a community with a majority of residents at 50+, I'd personally steer clear. I have seen some abuses of power you would not believe by retired persons who turned the HOA into their power vessel within the community. Moreover, we almost always won in court when challenged by individual owners.

    Five best bands out at the moment: 1. Mumford & Sons 2. Mumford & Sons 3. Mumford & Sons 4. Mumford & Sons 5. Mumford & Sons
  7. Hence the reason traffic around Southpark Mall and Crocker Park are still absolutely insane Fri-Sun
  8. Thankfully it won't have the same impact on the economy, but predatory auto loan places have done essentially what the mortgage industry did from 1995-2007. I know of a law firm in Cleveland that has only two clients, both predatory lending dealerships - an office of 4 attorneys netted over $3 million last year alone in collections fees.
  9. I was also referencing consumer confidence indexes dropping for the 3rd or 4th time in as many months
  10. I really fear that the timing of this will be bad. All signs indicate a market correction coming in late 2019 or early 2020.
  11. This isn't a bad idea. I think the enclosure is relatively easy to achieve as well, especially with major renovations planned for the upper deck seating to begin with. However, I do not think we will see an enclosure so long as we are seeing renovations and not a rebuild.
  12. Has anyone else been getting an insane amount of calls on their cell phone? I have had to block 17 numbers since Monday, all from people with Indian accents trying to talk about either insurance, a bank account, or taxes.
  13. Those discussions have been had already, pretty in depth
  14. I've had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Dee Haslam on multiple occasions - she may be a billionaire, but I genuinely believe she wants any changes that the team, organization, stadium bring to Cleveland to be a net positive for the community. They get a bad wrap, but in my interactions with them, they are very approachable and kind people.
  15. I personally know 6 people that work out at my gym who work at Voss... this might have a bit of a ripple on local businesses
  16. We had two years to show up and support them with attendance revenue and we didn't. If we were top 10 in attendance, I would feel differently
  17. If someone from Outhwaite Homes, for example, is displaced by development, there is a 99.9999% chance that they will be moved somewhere newer and safer. So it's not always terrible.

    There was literally a pile of human feces in between Toast and Il Rione this morning on West 65th. That's a hazard of a morning jog, I guess.

    I know a number of counties who see this coming and are working at heading it off ...... via blockchain lol
  20. Thank you. Otherwise I think the far-right conspiracy folk on here will start accusing you of shadow banning
  21. "If you're not cheating you're not trying" - Lori Laughlin / Trump Jr. / Barry Bonds
  22. If they've got their location, it must be all...... downhill..... from here. Winning guess?

    It all comes down to the Golden Rule, Don... He who has the gold, makes the rules

    @eastvillagedon I always thought the city of Painesville has some absolutely perfect bones for a walkable, exurban community - which is rare. I think with the right vision it could look something more like Medina than Lorain
