Here's another gem from the Plain Dealer. This was on the actually on the front page of Saturday's print edition. What are they thinking... "Let's see... Cleveland is the 83rd most caffeinated city, let's put out a front page article that basically does nothing but bash the city". http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/cuyahoga/1203154393288260.xml&coll=2 Men's Health ranks Cleveland one of least caffeinated cities Saturday, February 16, 2008 Michael K.

My Buckeye friends always told me it was "F * ichigan". :wink: Good news about the game. Cleveland Browns' Stadium needs to host more events. The Greater Cleveland Sports Commission is making an effort get more stadium dates filled. This event, the recent soccer game, and the high school playoffs last year are a good start. I've heard discussions about an annual college football game between one of the service academies and a MAC school. Maybe we'll even have a Browns playoff game in the future (I'm an optimist).

Bird Town is an area that was settled primarily by Eastern European immigrants who worked at the National Carbon Company plant at W. 117th and Madison. Here is some additional information: http://www.tccweb.org/lakewood.htm Clifton Park is in the northwest corner of Lakewood, bordering the Rocky River and Lake Erie.

I took these during the Detroit-Superior Bridge Tour on Saturday 5/27. It's very interesting seeing the lower level of the bridge. The next public tour is scheduled for Labor Day weekend - September 2nd, 2006. I highly recommend it.
