It just a bunch of us teachers that play before school...We start at 5:50 and usually go till 7... I would say it is pretty organized, most are coaches or x athletes, it gets pretty competitive...

I play twice a week (in the mornings) now, I am average...Neither good or bad...

Anyone interested in starting/joining a league?

Thanks for the info...I appreciate it...

I heard there is no public sale, BUT there has to be tickets somewhere I can get my hands on...It's a big convocation center...

I have no idea what that even means...

This may or may not be on topic, but does anyone know how I could get tickets for the upcoming debate at CSU? If this is the wrong place to put this, please feel free to move it...

Thanks Mayday, I appreciate your help...

Nope, But I just checked them about and they don't seem to have anything posted or any events... Thanks for the link though...

So, I am looking for a place that has "intramural" basketball or some kind of league...I have yet to find a place that even offers anything close...I would like to find somewhere in the Old Brooklyn area...Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated...

Another point people tend to forget is a lot of sub prime loans were 80/20 loans to get around deposits and PMI...So in many cases a single house had two foreclosures on it at the same time...Not saying it isn't bad, but it can make the numbers look a lot worse... I agree the long foreclosure time definitely plays a role to...2 years till bank owned is a long time to let a house sit...It just begs for trouble...Good points shs96...

I wouldn't mind seeing local places like Goodwin's Sandwiches or European delights (Great pierogi place in Parma)... Just some of those "strip" kind of eateries, why not expand down there?

Where is the "BACK ON TOPIC" post with the pretty picture?

Eh, should have spell checked before he posted, devasatation is spelled wrong...

That story is a bunch of B.S. I went and counted the number of foreclosed homes in Shaker as of right now, 36, The same as about 8 towns around the region... Here is another example of great journalism and misrepresented facts: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/01/28/wohio128.xml

30K? 130K? 230K? Where is this btw?

Well I was at all three places tonight...I was expecting a little more from the exteriors... It is on the outside, unfortunately I would say in the last 15-20 years it was gutted and redone poorly and made into a double...Some of the interior features you would expect in that house like that are not there at all...It was a HUGE disappointment to say the least... I actually did the boarding up and winterization (Not that there is any plumbing in it) of the Franklin house, It is in pretty good shape and I like it, but a Quad might be a little bigger than what I want...BUT after talking to some of the Fannie people they think she could go as low as 40K...I posted some pics of the house here: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=9327.msg231927#msg231927 The house on 29th wasn't in much better shape, both houses are owned by the same person...This was in every sense of the word a hack job...It is a cute LITTLE house turned into a double...I posted a pic to illustrate what a HACK job is... A nice house, but needs major foundation work and for the 30K asking price, might be a little high... Note that instead of cutting into the walls to install duct work, they just hung it on the outside. A nice look on a modern house, but not so much on an old one... Anyway, thanks for your help people...I am sure I will have more questions to ask, I have a goal to be in Ohio City by August...

Thanks, your non-professional opinion is appreciated... I like the 29th street house the best...A little smaller, but has some charm to it...

I am looking at buying a new (old run down) house...I am pretty sure I am down to three of them: First is a nice century colonial - 1562 W 29TH STREET Second is a Victorian double - 2083 W 28TH STREET Third is a quad next to Franklin Castle - 4304 FRANKLIN Any idea of how these streets are? I have driven by them many times, and they look like well kept, low crime streets, but you never get a sense of how a place really is unless you live in the neighborhood...I hope that makes sense...Any help would be appreciated...

Does anyone have any information on this? I know the casting plant is one of the best in the country and Ford really wanted to keep it open...I heard they might move into diesel production...Just being curious if anyone knows anything... http://www.automotiveworld.com/WAM/content.asp?contentid=65547

Just looking through some old threads...Did anything more come of this meeting? Seems like a great idea, just being curious... I always thought an UrbanCleveland newspaper would be a great idea...

I live over by Rhodes High School, on the south side of OB... I have noticed an increase in services lately around the neighborhood...Does anyone know where the recycling is being piloted and where it is going to be expanded to this summer...I see billboards around town, but they don't say much other than it is coming to Cleveland...

...But it has want plants crave w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=UuvK1NenUQ4 On a side note, I just learned you cannot post a youtube link as a url anymore, it always comes up as the full video in the thread...

Not that anyone cares, but I got my street plowed twice today...I don't think I have even had it plowed once in 3 years...Nothing against them, I am just some random side street...It's the little things that make me happy...Go Frank Jackson...

Aside from being art, does the "stuff" on the garbage can mean anything? Great pictures btw...
