Cuyahoga County seeks attorney Fred Nance to lure Medical Mart Friday, October 05, 2007 Joe Guillen and Sarah Hollander Plain Dealer Reporters High-powered attorney Fred Nance, who had been tapped by a business group to help bring a new convention center and Medical Mart to Cleveland, could also be working for taxpayers.

:clap:

Yes. This would mean goodbye to Best Steak building.

I noticed last night the Terminal Tower had its lights on - red. The top of the towers on Jacobs Field were also lit up - red. That's the first time I ever saw that.

Latest and greatest on the Student Center - the egg is gone! (sorry for the crappy scans)

Correct. The streets will be one way. Which way they go will be determined. Larger shot -

Here ya go.
