    From my inside connections Jackson will run again and will likely win since no real challenger will come forth. The people that may have a chance are all going to sit this race out until the next election: Cimperman, Ronayne, and a couple of other possibles
  3. There are scenarios where skywalks are acceptable or even beneficial, but in general they tend to reduce the foot traffic in the area and discourage walking and pedestrian improvements. In this case, IMO, it would not discourage anything. The people that will be working are going to come from where ever they live (probably a good guess that a vast majority of the employees work from outs side the city border), park there cars in the garage and go to work likely via the skywalk. I feel once a worker has found there parking spot, they will not likely leave to go to lunch and have to deal with coming back to find another parking spot. They will more than likely, if they do not bring there own food, just walk to one of the many close by restaurants. Those coming in for business will likely do the same if they intend on making time to grab a bite (or eventually, I hope, shop in some of the fine retail spaces that will come along Euclid). Once you find a spot to park downtown, one tends to hold on to that for as long as you can, even going back to feed the meter. The Casino skywalk proposal is a different story all together, and i am not in favor of that at all. If I were to be employed by the county in the new building, or live in the tower, the skywalk would be a huge selling point. Not any different than having a home with a garage (in the back of the house, of course... not in the front - hate those :) ) EDIT: (I was composing my response the same time you edited yours, Keith. Regardless, I do not agree completely with you. I worked at City hall for a year and every Friday, weather permitting, the office would WALK to a place near by for lunch. These office mates were from all over the area, not just the city)
  4. Very nice. Thank you so much for sharing the pics and info.

    Ooooooo, that's good to know. My lady and I are thinking about which cultural venue to become a member of for the time being as the kids have outgrown the Science Center and such

  13. I saw the pillar of light sign thing the other night when it was snowing from the freeway. not sure what to think of it yet
  14. Very exciting place. I will def. try to make a visit on my next trip. Apparently they usually have live salsa bands on Friday nights I picked up a pt job recently for delivermefood.com to make a little extra cash and I gotta tell ya, even though I have never seen the place full - or even half full... I am always going there to pick up orders. Looking forward to trying it out myself soon.

    Sorry I missed out. I was all alone moving into my new house in tropical Newburgh Heights. Good character building experience.
  16. On a related note: I notice this past weekend the new McDs is open in Lakewood already. Not sure when demo of the theater began.
  17. Whoa! That was pretty awesome... sad, but awesome. I really needed the laugh right now. Glad it all worked out

    Good bye, Holmgren.
  21. So we will likely know something for sure this time next year. Start the timer.
  22. Nice turnout at the first Rollin on the River event Saturday. My gf's daughter won skate boarding lessons, so that was a nice bonus. I have no doubt this will be one of those annual events that will be big in the near future. http://www.rollinontherivergate.com/
