I like this comment: "And if you draw a bunch of circles, you will have a bunch of Pokeballs"

Yeah. They surrounded them with mums so you will notice them. All of the power lines in the background make it even more inviting

For those of us who are optimists What Does An 0-7 Start Tell You About An NFL Coach? By Chase Stuart If good things are supposed to come in threes, nobody told the Cleveland Browns. This year, the Cavaliers won the NBA championship in remarkable fashion, and the Indians are currently playing in the World Series. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s other major professional sports team is 0-7, the last remaining winless team in the 2016 NFL season. The Browns hired Hue Jackson to lead the team’s latest rebuilding effort in a move that was regarded as one of the best coaching hires of the offseason. In an offseason in which the Browns also brought in Paul DePodesta as chief strategy officer to turn the franchise around, it seemed like Cleveland had its coach of the future. But Jackson is now just the 17th coach since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to fail to win a game in his team’s first seven contests. . . . . Although the recent examples are pretty ugly — and caution against giving any unsuccessful head coach too long of a leash — there are two inspiring names on the list for Browns fans. The late ‘80s Cowboys were a mess, just like the current Browns. In 1988, Dallas went 3-13, and replaced legendary head coach Tom Landry with Jimmy Johnson. The Cowboys went 1-15 in Johnson’s rookie season, with the sole victory coming in Washington in Week nine. Johnson quickly turned around the Cowboys in part because of his ability to accumulate high draft picks, a strategy that Jackson’s Browns are currently employing. Those Cowboys have been the blueprint for preaching patience in coaching, particularly when a coach takes over a bad team. Dallas went 36 straight games from 1988 to 1990 as underdogs; Johnson’s Cowboys weren’t favored to win a game until the 30th game of his coaching tenure. And this year’s Browns have been underdogs in every game this season, a sign of the poor roster Jackson is coaching.2 Inheriting a terrible roster sometimes means a team has to get worse before it can get better, and that’s exactly what happened in Dallas: The Cowboys went 1-15, 7-9, 11-5, 13-3 and 12-4 in Johnson’s five seasons with the team, with those last two campaigns ending in Super Bowl championships. 3 And then there is Bill Walsh, the legendary 49ers coach who won three Super Bowls during his decade with the team. He inherited a San Francisco roster that was low on talent: The team sunk to 2-14 in 1978, and was without a first round pick in 1979 (which turned out to be the first overall pick) after trading those rights to Buffalo for O.J. Simpson the previous year. San Francisco went 0-7 out of the gate in 1979 under Walsh, eventually finishing 2-14. And the 49ers improved to only 6-10 in 1980, before Walsh’s influence on the team began to take hold. From 1981 to 1988, San Francisco won over 70 percent of its games, the best mark in the NFL, and won three Super Bowls. And as with Johnson, the fruits of his work yielded additional success after he left, with the 49ers winning a fourth Super Bowl in 1989 and a fifth in 1994. . . . http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-does-an-0-7-start-tell-you-about-an-nfl-coach/

Beginning Monday, I-90 west will have three lanes entering the #GVVBridge joined by a lane from East 9th Street and an additional lane from Ontario Street for a total of five lanes in the westbound direction.

Yep - Broken/fractured collar bone. Said to be out for an "extended period of time." Hurrray... another quarterback controversy in the works. We cannot catch a break - no pun intended

Great photos. Thanks for sharing

Just drove by there last week and the amount of work done thus far is crazy. Lots of machinery in place, and that wall.... WHOA! Thankfully most of it will have the garage attached to it.

It wouldn't solve its largely windowless bunker-style design, or its large apron (er, moat) of concrete and grass surrounding it. The whole structure says "I don't care about interacting on a human scale with my urban surroundings." And guess what -- it doesn't. In fairness, most arenas aren't built to be big statements of urbanity And there's plenty of space to build a 15 story, 1,000 room dorm in front of it attached to the arena.... I highly doubt that CSU will build any dorms taller than four, maybe five stories. Ongoing maintenance expense is something they want to minimize. By using the entire block of E. 21st to E. 18th between Prospect and Carnegie, one should easily fit an 8,000 seat arena, practice facilities for Men's and Women's basketball, as well as 1,000 to 1,500 beds of modern dormitory living. CSU needs to rid itself of the buildings that have high ongoing maintenance costs. This is just my opinion... CSU is not in the dorm building business anymore and hasn't been since Viking Hall. They own Fenn Tower, but it is managed by someone else (IIRC). As far as the rest of the state-owned property that makes up CSU goes, the state will continue to own the land and have private developers build as the market dictates.
