Controlled Demolition of Old Innerbelt Bridge to Take Place July 12 Hold on to your hats! The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Trumbull-Great Lakes-Ruhlin (TGR) are pleased to announce that controlled explosive demolition of the steel skeleton of the 1959 Innerbelt Bridge will take place at first light on Saturday morning July 12. Controlled demolition will drop five (5) of the nine (9) steel spans of the old bridge. The team which includes Joseph B. Fay Company and Controlled Demolition, Inc. has used a mixture of both traditional demolition along with the “controlled” – or explosive – demolition method. The bridge railings, lights, barriers and concrete driving surface were all removed using traditional methods. Specific spans over the river and railroads were also disassembled in a traditional manner. Concrete piers will be demolished this summer using traditional methods. The plan protects the businesses that operate from the Flats as well as people living and working in the Tremont neighborhood. Members of the public are invited to watch the event live at www.Cleveland.com or www.wkyc.com. Due to limited view-sheds, only a small public viewing area near the corner of East 14th Street and Broadway Avenue is available. The area will be accessible beginning at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 12. Paid, public parking is available in downtown lots – a short walk from the viewing area. Even better, ride with our friends at RTA! The #19 bus provides direct access to the site. Visit www.rideRTA.com for more! A 1,000 foot perimeter will be set around the blast zone and many local roadways including I-90, the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, Abbey Avenue and others will be closed during the event. For a map of anticipated closures and closures times, please log-on to www.Innerbelt.org. ODOT is in the midst of replacing the 1959 bridge with two new structures – one to carry traffic in each direction. The pair have been named in honor of statesman George V. Voinovich. Replacement of the 1959 bridge is vital to the success of moving people in and out of downtown Cleveland now and in the future. It will enhance capacity, bolster our economy and ensure the safety of motorists. The first of the pair is now open and temporarily carrying traffic in both directions until completion of the second new bridge in late 2016. Members of the public with questions or concerns are encouraged to call the Innerbelt hotline at 216.344.0069 or email [email protected].

Overheard out and about this weekend a conversation about him and the one guy says to the other something to the effect that he thinks the Browns will keep Gordon regardless of if he suspended for 1-2 seasons because at the end of the suspension he will be two years older and two years smarter and still only be 25. //end run on sentence Interesting opinion

And then there is this (Not sure how legit to take it as it is coming from fantasy sports blog): Source Confirms LeBron James is Coming Back to Cleveland This summer has certainly taken a 180 degree circle. Before, it seemed that Carmelo Anthony would leave New York and sign with a contender while LeBron James and the Heat would sign some help. Oh, how the wheels have turned. A writer for The Akron Beacon Journal was told by Dru Joyce II that he reviewed a text from LeBron James shortly after the Finals and said he’s “coming back to Cleveland,” according to Josh Teplitz, of North East Ohio, who is close to The Akron Beacon Journal writer. Our source says the writer has confirmed that the text was not taken out of context due to the circumstances of the aftermath of the Finals. The source continued that he is “110% confident that LeBron is coming back” after hearing what the Akron Beacon Journal writer told him. The big question is when will this become official? Lebron most likely won’t want this to linger on leading up to his Skills Academy in Akron beginning July 9th, so expect a decision before then. The Kyrie Irving extension came as a little bit of a surprise. It was reported that it took only two hours to finalize his deal. Perhaps he was in on the “LeBron James Text Message Frenzy!” Most think that the stories of Kyrie not being happy in Cleveland were smokescreens created by Miami media trying to lure LeBron back to the Miami Heat. As for reasons for leaving the Heat, LeBron supposedly told Joyce that there is disconnect between Chris Bosh and James. Bosh is seeking max money, as is James. Four years ago, the Big 3 took pay cuts in order to team up. Their windows of cashing in on big paydays are closing and Bosh wants to cash in one last time. There have been reports that Bosh will be offered a max deal by the Houston Rockets and that the Lakers will be interested in his services, if he doesn’t resign with Miami. The Heat are already trying to find a replacement for James by bringing in Luol Deng, who has already met by Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley. http://www.legionreport.com/2014/07/05/source-confirms-lebron-james-is-coming-back-to-cleveland/

Ooooo... I actually knew that, Surf. I even showed our mutual Filipina friend the remnants of that a while back. I didn't know it looked liked that though. Very nice.

Took me a while to find it this time, but I found the UO Billboard :)

boo to the squeaky wheels

Just remembered this. I saw an interesting thing going on in the WHD last Friday... or perhaps it was Thursday. There was a boring sample truck set up in one of the parking lots. I am pretty sure it was the one on West 9th, but it could have been West 6th. Any guesses as to what this was for?

Or add a giant Menchies billboard like the one on the Stark building

I've always loved the exterior design of this building. Terracotta, right?

Yes They've been doing this for about 4 or 5 years now

No. It is not coming back. You can see it stored on the second level of the 2 story garage next to the 8 story garage at the corner. Right. I have seen them there. I presumed (perhaps even read) that they were being stored there until the construction was was complete enough for them to be replaced. So if they are not being placed back in the plaza, what will become of them?
