Hey Edsiou, I just checked the Galleria website and you're not listed. Drop someone there an email to get posted-you deserve at least that for your rent.

Whoops! I think I just drooled on the keyboard. Beautiful! :clap:

Chicago: The Spire
That's why it twists! In case of fire, you can just pop out a window, take a hose from a sink to wet the way and you can ride the 2000+ft. slip and side all the way down to safety! I'm sure that would work :-)

Cleveland: TV / Film Industry News
I just looked on the NBC map. I've probably been driving past it for years, but I didn't know we have a Women's Air and Space Museum!

Cleveland: Wind Turbine Construction News
This is more wind power in general, not really Cleveland, so please move this post if there's a better place Ohio winds enough to power state Friday, April 20, 2007 John Funk Plain Dealer Reporter Ohio's cloudy skies have an electric lining - enough wind to generate all the state's power, says a U.S. Department of Energy study.

Abandoned: The Terraces (formerly Domain on Lee in Cleveland Heights)
Yes, Tullamore is going to be blocked off. Coincidentally, I just closed today on my first house at the very end of Tullamore. The construction office trailers are like 10 feet away from my driveway. As soon as I get in, I'm totally setting up some little cameras to timelapse construction! :-D

Nickelback: Greatest Band of the 21st Century
I don't know, it does take a certain amount of talent for Nickelback to make every song for however many albums they've made now sound so nearly identical. Just ask Matchbox 20. :whip:

Race
1/2 Polish, 1/4 German, 1/4 Irish. ^My dad is the same way-adamant American and nothing else. As a side note, my 100% Polish father as a younger man, along with his two brothers and with the blessing of my grandmother, decided to Americanize and change their last name to Mitchell from Mscichowski. Only obstacle was my fiercely proud grandfather, who forbade his three sons from dropping the name. Oddly, some years later after gaining some distance from my grandfather and separate from my two uncles, my father changes his name to Mallory (I don't know whatever happened to "Mitchell"). So when asked, I tell people about what I call my father's "maiden name".

29. I think that means the factory warranty is about to run out.

Greater Cleveland RTA News & Discussion
No, I was just joking. Like we need a more extensive freeway system to help people flee downtown to the suburbs. :? The only place that project has been announced is in my nightmares.

That's just unrealistic. They're going to need that space to add the fourth lane onto I-71.

Ohio Intercity Rail (3C+D Line, etc)
I was on that very train about a year ago. They have a speedometer in each passenger compartment. The one I was on said it went up to 201-mph. I didn't know it maxed out at 205. I kinda feel let down. We were 4-mph away from top speed! C'mon! Why not bury the needle? :-D

Swim Kingfish Swim! :: Central Ohio Diabetes Association Benefit

Yes, I've seen that episode. If everyone I ever ran into was that smug, well, (insert smiley vomiting here). Also, very sorry to hear about your cat.

san francisco & the pacific northwest
Beautiful shots! I gotta get out there someday soon. How old are these photos? I'm trying to place it based on the cars I can see and I'm guessing '94-'96 maybe? Oh, and why aren't you a big fan of SF?

Cleveland: Downtown: East 4th Street Developments
FIRST BITES Not totally bowled over at sleek new Corner Alley Wednesday, December 27, 2006 Bosses beware. Your downtown employees might be seduced into playing hooky at a new place called the Corner Alley, Euclid Avenue and East Fourth Street. Don't let them give you the excuse that service was slow - which, actually, it was for us, a painful thing at lunch. They might come back to work late because this Art Deco-lite restaurant and bar comes with 16 sleek bowling alleys. Watching the action can be as much fun as playing.... You'll find more extensive reviews of other area restaurants in The Plain Dealer's Friday! magazine. To reach this Plain Dealer reporter: [email protected], 216-999-4357

The Worst US Map Ever
If you start clicking on the "destination cities" drop down, you get even more misplaced cities. Click on any city via Minneapolis and you find out that Detroit has been relocated to upstate New York. Or click on anywhere via Las Vegas to discover that Pittsburgh has migrated several hundred miles east to become a new suburb of Philly. When they get the Cleveland to Port Stanley ferry up and going, I wonder where you'll end up? I'm hoping for the Caribbean! :cool2:

IMPORTANT QUESTION - What browser do you use?
Firefox. And I'm pretty sure that Firefox is the browser from Mozilla, so I don't think we need both Firefox and Mozilla in the poll field.

The Ohio State University Buckeyes Football Discussion
A few predictions: OSU 41 Florida 14 I will be drunk by the second quarter. Halftime show will be boring. I will eat too many nachos in stupid loyalty to Tostitos. Michigan fans will bitch and moan about how they would have beat the Buckeyes if they were playing for the title. My friend Pat will the next day call any sports talk radio show and (in a hung over fashion) gloat.

Cleveland: Innerbelt News
^ where's this from?

Metro Akron-Canton: Road & Highway News
First of all, welcome! Me personally, I'd like to see it turned into a six lane boulevard. Every time I take the innerbelt to go downtown, I notice two things. One, how cut off the residential on the west side is. Any kind of development, biomedical or otherwise, cuts off at the freeway, leaving a stark line where investment and improvement are separated form deteriorating housing stock. Kinda the same way the Cleveland Clinic and the Fairfax seem to have nothing to do with each other (re: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=11170.0 ) But take a look at this website. There is at least some interested parties out there. But sadly, if you look at the multimedia section about the commercials they've been able to shoot on the innerbelt, an Australian location scout (or something) says they looked all over the US for places where they could use the road for up to 10 weeks and they found Akron. Presumably for my second reason-it is always empty. http://www.akroninnerbelt.org/ I cannot remember ever, ever seeing more the a handful of vehicles there. Whether or not that is to do with the entire plan never being fully realized, or a general downturn in the region's economic development or whatever, a major artery has been built to direct traffic downtown in numbers that are really unrealistic. I'd love downtown Akron to be bustling with the kind of traffic that would necessitate such a large freeway-it just hasn't happened. There's a lot of great projects in Akron, but most seem to be located over near 8 and UA right now. Maybe projects like the Northside Lofts and the new Art Museum will help bring traffic up to the point where the size that 59 is will seem appropriate, but it hasn't yet. The only real seismic change that I think could do it (and this of course goes for all cities) is a major infusion of new jobs downtown. If only I had a corporation with 5000 jobs in my back pocket I could drop on Main somewhere. But since I don't, and believe me I would have noticed 5000 people in my back pocket, I gotta think resizing the innerbelt to a more realistic boulevard would be the best option.
