  1. This kind of sh*t infuriates me; the ceo doesn’t own the company, why should where he lives determine the hq location of a public firm for the next several decades when this guy could possibly be elsewhere/retired/whatever in the next few yrs?? Same situation with Eaton, where’s the oversight from the board & shareholders on this?
  2. Buster Olney said Tribe probably not done dealing today.
  3. Salazar supposed to start Thursday against Houston; first action since 2017 ALDS
  4. No doubt we added some thunder to the lineup; I like it. Wondering if Antonetti will try to flip Puig to another team today? Him and Reyes are both primarily right fielders, though I’m sure they’ll get dh time if both stay. I love Reyes, and the lefty reliever is a real prospect too, impressive they turned Bauer into 5 guys, nice mix of present & future....plus Bauer goes to the NL (no potential AL playoff matchup against him). Nice job front office??
  5. Good, let’s see how we stack up against big boy baseball teams. I’m looking forward to this stretch, hopefully with a new right-handed bat somewhere in the lineup?
  6. Not sure where else to post/ask this: I’m aware of Progressive’s proposed hq tower downtown that obviously didn’t happen and their subsequent developments along 271; where were they located prior to the hq proposal?
  7. Yup! Expand the convention center underneath it and put a transportation center under it as well at Lakeside Ave level (I know @KJP has written at length on this) and now we’d be getting somewhere!
  8. ^Awesome job! Is it just me or does the linear green space in the above renderings appear to line up almost perfectly with the malls? I can picture the Land Bridge project descending several levels to meet up with Pace’s green space in this project.
  9. Question: would the commercial trucks share the same ferry with passengers? If so, where would this downtown ferry depart from so that it could accommodate numerous 18-wheelers queing up to board said ferry while tying up (I’m assuming) a tremendous amount of asphalt and degrading whatever waterfront property this ferry terminal would occupy. IMO, I love the ferry to Canada idea, but the trucks would have to have a separate location/ferry from the recreational passengers; there’s nowhere downtown that could accommodate the number of trucks idling in place waiting to board, and then those getting off coming in, not simpatico with a pleasant urban waterfront. Build a consolidated marine terminal downtown that would handle: *passenger ferry to Canada *Great Lakes cruise ships *Jet Express to CP/Islands *Goodtime *Nautica Queen This terminal would be located either on E9 or north of GLSC to make for easy walk from future intermodal terminal under Harbor Land Bridge?. Commercial truck’s can board their own ferry somewhere on the northern side of Burke; plenty of room there.
  10. Wife and I took the kids, because of the heat we pretty much spent the whole day inside the convention center doing the interactive stuff and seeing the sights; really well done, lots of activities for fans of all ages, not overly crowded, easy to get around. It was a great experience!
  11. I was under the impression that Fred Geis had sold his interest in the family business to his brother and was on his own and involved with Hemingway Development, no?
  12. There are 81 home games....though hopefully more, i.e. playoffs?
  13. ^Randy Newman’s ode to the Cuyahoga didn’t just open “Major League” but it was the entry song for my wedding party back in 2008 at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (Tremont Greek Festival Church, though I’m not Greek?)....great memories whenever I hear that song!!
  14. Outstanding!! I’ve daydreamed about the potential of these various projects and over the years made my own sketch-ups of various potential projects on paper....to see how these could feasibly happen within our lifetime is really exciting!
  15. My spidey senses are telling me Stark’s got an issue elsewhere in his capital stack and he can use the Building Trades/Port/City as scapegoats I’d this doesn’t end up going forward idk.
  16. I should add that Stark has never had an issue using/paying for union labor on his past projects (Crocker, Eton, Beacon, etc), so what makes Nucleus such a problem?
  17. So Stark is essentially at the funding finish line, has pretty much indicated a start date, and says “Oh btw, I can’t afford to do prevailing wage” wtf. Something doesn’t smell right about this....why did this come up now?
  18. Wow, with what I did know about the rails and infrastructure in the valley I suspected it would be quite a maneuver but that's incredible.
  19. I didn't know where else to ask this so here goes: with the known instability of the Irishtown Bend hillside on the Cuyahoga river and its potential threat to bulk shipping up the river, particularly to Arcelor-Mittal's blast furnaces, could iron ore be railed to the furnaces from Whiskey Island? If so, what route would be required? To my knowledge there is no rail row through the valley to the mills, so could it be done via other routes or would the mills have to shut down? I bet @KJP knows the answer to this and thanks in advance!
  20. Haha, I was just gonna say "I know that guy"?
  21. Agree with your take, except the Cle Dolans' wealth came from their investment in Cablevision (I believe started by Charles Dolan in NY); they've had the law firm in Chardon for many years ( my mom worked as a legal secretary there in the 70's) but that practice could never have supplied the juice to buy a MLB team. The Dolans would never move the Tribe, but sell it to someone who might? Paul Dolan was kind of cryptic in his interview about "his parents getting older"....would he pull a Randy Lerner and unload it after his father is gone?
  22. Could the Scranton Peninsula accommodate thousands of employees commuting in/out each morning and evening through the limited routes in and out each work day from such a facility?
