I was there this weekend as well. My wife is from there. Great things going on in East Liberty, Lawrence and a few other neighborhoods, but take a drive through Wilkinsburg, Rankin, Braddock or any of those communities along the river and you'll see a lot of poverty. Having the mills outside of the city makes a world of difference.

Bringing the inductions back to Cleveland every other year requires significant local buy-in Catching Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr perform a few tunes in an intimate 5,000-seat concert hall isn't usually a possibility in Cleveland — or anywhere, for that matter... Moreover, the relatively recent decision by the Rock Hall's foundation to host the induction ceremony in Cleveland every two years, pending funding, is evidence of the Rock Hall's maturation as an institution and the city as a world-class competitor for major events. The ceremony also returns to Cleveland as many of its major assets — like the Hilton Downtown Cleveland Hotel — came online in the run-up to the 2016 Republican National Convention. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20180303/news/153631/little-help-rock-halls-friends

Plug and Play Cleveland launches with pitches from health industry startups One company envisions a wristband to track blood sugar for diabetes patients. Another thinks it has the technology to more accurately pick the right prescription dosages for individuals. Shorter wait times for doctor visits and medical tests is the goal of another firm.Twenty-seven startups from across the globe came Thursday looking for help to turn their ideas into reality as Silicon Valley-based business incubator Plug and Play launched a satellite program in Cleveland. About 10 winners from 21 health-related companies will be chosen within days to receive mentoring help in Cleveland over the next few months before presenting their fine-tuned plans to potential investors in June https://www.google.com/amp/s/articles.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/03/plug_and_play_cleveland_launch.amp

This is an entirely different team. I'm going to give them a few weeks before I decide.

Where have we heard that before...the beginning of this season when they were always losing games in the second half? They are 3-2 since the trade with road wins over OKC and Boston. I think they'll be ok.

It's going to take time for this new group to figure it out.

It's changed a lot since then.

University Circle isn't that great. Chances are, if you get off of a train at Unversity Circle, you're waiting 45 minutes for a bus to get wherever you're going. Also, compared to the Short North, University Circle is sprawl central. Relying on public transit, you'll be walking much more and waiting a hell of a lot longer on public transit to take you where you're going. I went to school in Downtown Cleveland while living on the east side of Cleveland. I've lived it. Public transit in Cleveland is a joke. Clevelanders would better spend their energy addressing public transit concerns than defending their city. Chill out...nobody said public transportation in Cleveland is great. We are well aware of its deficiencies. I said the neighborhood was unique. It has a ton of restaurants, museums, jobs, students, housing...on top that, it's connected by rail.

Short North is the most complete neighborhood in Ohio in terms of housing, retail, restaurants/bars. I don't know a lot about OTR, but I've heard great things. University Circle may be the most unique neighborhood in Ohio. 4th largest employment center in Ohio. 11k students at Case, restaurants, museums, housing, Red line stop...

I'll meet you in the middle and say it's 15 min. Lol. Most people aren't walking. They either uber or hop on the Cbus

It's a 10 min walk to Short North from High and Broad. Across the Cap from the convention center.

I think Little Italy/University Circle feels pretty "big city" in my opinion.

You're awfully sure of yourself for knowing nothing about Twinsburg. I know many people that live there and have lived in the area my entire life. It is 100% a suburb. The only argument I could see is whether it is more of a suburb of Cleveland or Akron. https://patch.com/ohio/twinsburg/cleveland-magazine-rates-the-suburbs-where-does-twinsburg-rank I still have no idea what your definition of "suburb" is, but it seems to be pretty non-standard. Also, here is a discussion by people looking for a suburb of Cleveland to live in: http://www.city-data.com/forum/cleveland/882556-cleveland-suburb-fits-me.html Twinsburg is a suburb. I've had two friends in the last year move back to NEO (they work downtown). They wanted to stay on the east side and they like Twinsburg's newish house stock. I grew up in University Heights. We almost moved to Twinsburg in the early 90s. My parents looked at Twinsburg as a cheaper Solon.

Easton has the same policy/security for the same reasons. Sign of the times.

^Something needs to be done asap. City and county leaders need to get together and figure this out.

^Yes

^Very interesting...

Metro Cleveland is larger than Metro Milwaukee.

^Ikea is large box store. Not hating on Milwaukee, but it's significantly smaller than Cleveland. This is what's so surprising about the Milwaukee announcement. We may be over thinking this. Ikea clearly has interest in the region. They had the Brooklyn site until the EPA stepped in. It's not like they haven't been trying.

If we waited for formal announcements about possible new developments, this entire forum would die. True...lol

^Agree...this thread needs to die until there is some kind of announcement.

My Mom could single-handedly make a Cleveland Ikea profitable. Edit: Ikea clearly has an interest in Cleveland. They've flirted with the Cleveland market for years.

Want to run a restaurant? Cleveland chefs sought for new Ohio City food hall CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Calling all Cleveland chefs: Have you always wanted to own your own restaurant, but didn't have the capital? Here's a chance to run your own kitchen, relatively risk-free. The Galley Group, founded in Pittsburgh two years ago, is bringing its restaurant-incubator concept to Cleveland next year, with space for four aspiring chef-owners. The eatery - it doesn't have a name yet - will be part of the Quarter development, under construction at the corner of Detroit Avenue and W. 25th Street in Ohio City. It will occupy the first floor of the historic Forest City Savings and Trust Building, built in 1890s and currently occupied by Massimo da Milano, which will close later this http://www.cleveland.com/travel/index.ssf/2017/12/want_to_run_a_restaurant_cleve.html#incart_river_mobile_index

The first option. I Would love to see fare reduction and expansion.

I hope this happens
