Day two At the "Gulley" stage (new home of the Urban Ohio Amphitheater at the College of Urban Affairs?) Euclid Corridor Bus Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival Probably the best act of the whole weekend. Crowds died down at night. It was cold and windy.

Think of the fieldhouse as a replacement for the old intramural dome. It will house offices for the sports program and reduce usage of the recreation center for those who are on CSU sports teams - the rec center being used more as tool for the general population. It is proposed to be connected to Wolstein via a bridge.

Really?!? Wow, my wife would laugh in your face if she heard you say that about something i said. Hmmm, I must be getting smarter. No doubt from reading post on UO.

Pray all you want. Let me know how that works for you. :-)

Wow, I wasn't expecting anything like to happen until sometime around christmas. That was really fast.

I kid... mostly. I have developed a fine sense of taste in my children. (There are several forumers here who can testify to my culinary skills.) My kids have their particular taste preferences. I do insist they at least taste whatever new thing I concoct at home. But every once in awhile, we just have to go to Fridays, or IHOP, or Cracker Barrel, or... well, you get the point.

Good idea gotribe. This will be very interesting to see once there are responses.

Don't know. Do they insist on eating hot dogs for three meals a day?

I'll give you the pictures for free. I just want a new camera.

RE: PLJ's editorial and the resulting posts. It is still possible to implement all of PLJ's ideas - and they are great ideas. But, as was implied by many in the post that follow, MM will not wait for Cleveland/Cuyahoga to get its act together creating naming right, pouring rights, etc. That is why the .25% tax is the correct revenue stream for the moment. This shows MM that we are committed to this project and are willing to do what it takes to get things started. Amazingly, the other two commissioners have tweaked their original plan to allow for changes in it when different revenue sources are identified. There is also verbage that will rescind the tax if paid off early. So why not accept the tax now to get the ball rolling and then work feverishly to implement PLJ's proposals that will allow for an early tax cut.

^Only because you don't have kids.

While we're at it, maybe the Ingenuity thread should be moved from the events section into the Urban Var or City Discussion threads.

Wired:

I officially have a headache now.

OK, OK First, I admit this my fault the thread went off topic. There is a thread devoted to NEO becoming its own state. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=3487.0 Now shhhh, Before you know who comes along and zaps us.

Wow, this is all news to me. This still does not address the court issues that have caused the delay up to this point. I'll have to ask around again for a status.

CNET News:

I agree. It will be fun for a little while, but this won't be Drew's career gig.

peabody99: I don't feel bad about it at all. And it is easy this time since there are large amounts of equity issues that come to play in this. (Damn Krumholz and his social equity. He must have brainwashed me. Stupid bleeding heart liberals.) E Rocc: Great. I'm glad you slept on that. You were able to completely not respond to anything I said. No problem. I probably did not make myself clear.

E Rocc: Ok Read your response tomorrow and ask yourself: "Self... why?" "Why are all the "customers" living only in the city, when many of the jobs are located outside said city?" "Why... self?"

US DOT:

^yes, I like it. I think in order to make NIMBY work, you need to have a grassroots citizen action. The politicians will follow. If they do not follow what the citizens want... well, just ask former Lakewood Mayor Kahn about that. So it does not matter what my council(woman) wants... its what the residents want. I stand corrected on the term "another." It was supposed to be "Adding A prison." The statement I was attempting (poorly) to make in that sentence was meant to imply social services. (CSI at Metrohealth, Juvy, countless Temp centers, the huge proportion of low-income housing) All of these things sit mostly within the city limits. Why add another? Why can't the rest of the county start taking up the slack (I sound like I'm arguing with my wife - repeating)? To be clear, I never implied that NIMBYISM is at work here. I was invoking my chance to have a say. My own personal batch of NIMBYISM that I bought fair and square at the flea market at Memphis Drive-in before they closed.

1)yes and 2)no

Here's a good one.
