^ Chicago AND Lakewood(10,208.5 sq mi)....

It SUCKS that these things are stuffed away in a warehouse and not rolling around on tracks throughout downtown!! Oh well, those days are gone I guess. I also LOVE the vintage photos of downtown....man would I love to see those streets packed during the day (and night) like that again.

Being a firefighter, I am not totally happy with the design either. The original design was MUCH worse though, it's hard to describe the old one, but believe me...horrible! As for the location, the Lerner family donated land and money for this project(so I have been told). I wish there would have been more photos of the base of the memorial because it list all the firefighters names who have died in the line of duty in the city of Cleveland. I would have preferred seeing a more realistic and lifelike scene, but I think the artist was trying to convey the larger than life figures as just that...and the fire as an almost monster like hand as a living "beast". I guess overall it IS nice to have a memorial.

^^ The statue on the new Federal Courthouse Building!!??!!

Was wondering if anyone has checked them out yet? I know a few of the ladies in this league...it seems pretty wild and fun! www.burningriverrollergirls.com http://www.myspace.com/burningriverrollergirls

I think in theory this is a good idea...but not sure where this money is coming from..there are rumbles of more layoffs in the fire department again...I would rather see the money used for things that we need...not want

I'll take that place over any new park....it was classic, vintage baseball....right up on the field....who cares about a few poles!

Is Kenny "The Mouse" McFadden available!?!?!

Boo hoo :cry:

Or maybe they should do what other states do and have more than one shift working on the project.....like maybe a night shift....but hey, what do I know...

This study says that Cleveland only had 75 murders last year when the actual number was 119.....also, where did the study come up with the population numbers for each city?

The 2-3-2 series is set up that way because the finals are generally between an East coast and West coast team....it make the travel time easier on both teams. I know there could be arguments for or against...but the powers that be see this being the best way.

will try to make the meet...but if not...what time and where is everyone meeting for drinks?

^ That is why we never pulled under the canopy, we just parked off to the side. It IS a large vehicle, not really meant for routine Pt. transports, but EMS routinely stuck us with "you are to handle" calls...which meant they weren't sending an ambulance. The 4 rescues carry a lot of technical equipment for many situations from firefighting to special rescues (water/high angle/entrapment)....I DO miss working on Rescue 1, but this is a temporary and deserved recharging period for me.

PLAIN DEALER: Two men die in shootings in Cleveland Posted by Mark Naymik May 28, 2007 11:07AM Categories: Breaking News A family get-together turned deadly early this morning after a 50-year-old Euclid man vomited on his niece's couch. Johnny M. Smith was shot several times in the chest and stomach by his niece, Roxanne L. Smith of Cleveland, Cleveland police spokesman Lt. Thomas Stacho said. ... www.cleveland.com

been REALLY slow for me as well......and this is the only site that does tat to me right now... :?

Station 41 was mine until 6 weeks ago, I just transferred to 42 in Old Brooklyn.

I do NOT feel sorry for the illegals..no matter what country they come from! You are here illegally, you are breaking the law plain and simple...and you should face the consequences. If YOU chose to make children while you are here, then YOU are at fault to put children in that circumstance. Instead of protesting here, protest in your own country to make changes to make life better for you. Do you think if I was an illegal in another country, I would "think" I somehow have a right to be there? Of course people will use the excuse "they do jobs Americans won't"...of course that will be said by employers that pay crappy wages (for here) and offer no health care , and can get rid of you if you get hurt because they know you can't complain for fear of deportation (the illegals). They should punish the people that hire illegals as well...they are only encouraging people to break the laws of this country. Hell, most of our industrial jobs went out of this country, many to Mexico...you would think there would be an abundance of jobs down there. I am SERIOUSLY venting...but really...illegal means exactly that....why should it be okay to break the law? Maybe if our borders were secure (with Customs agents, coast guard, port police, etc etc) and illegals wouldn't get in...and the people that visas expired...we get them out as well.....we wouldn't need our troops in Iraq to "keep us safe"!.....this whole thing just gets me fired up....

At this rate, in 30 years Cincinnati should be over 1 million!!! :wink:

^ point taken

This whole thread is redundant! As much as some say that the bars are "suffering"....seems as all the ones I have been to lately that DO NOT smoke seem to be doing just as well if not better than before the ban...I just get a kick out of all the "boo hooing" going on here...

I wonder why NYC hasn't crumbled into ruins by now because of their smoking ban?

But I thought the Indians were the indigenous people in North America!?!?!

I think subclavius is really MTS in disguise!!! again with the Shaker Square thing... :roll:..lol
