  1. Well, it is southwest of Cleveland ;)
  2. Was watching "Dora and Friends" (The Magic Ring episode- amazing, would highly recommend!) with my 2 year old today, and noticed that the city skyline silhouette in the closing credits was quite clearly Cleveland, OH. Were on the map with the toddler scene.
  3. The reality is that all of the candidate sites deserved the credit, they are all cultural gems. Unfortunately, there could be only one winner. I have a feeling in the next round of "catalyst" investment CLE will be rewarded.
  4. I just got Jarboed! I had never seen that word/usage in print before. I humbly stand corrected :) Now back to topic! max
  5. Had my wedding reception on Gay St, shout out to the Vault.

    In the World 1. Cleveland 2. Columbus 3. Cincinnati 4. Toledo 5. Tie: Dayton/Akron Honorable Mention: Pittsburgh, Detroit, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Wheeling, Youngstown, Altoona All other places can suck it!
  7. Just moved back to C-bus from Nashville (Germantown neighborhood) 5 months ago- lived there for the past 5 years. The Gaylord Opryland Hotel/Complex is a machine, and is not going away anytime soon. Everybody (generalization) over 40 goes there for there Nashville "experience", with frequent buses/shuttles to Broadway and other sites. They also just reopened the mall. They also just spent a sh*t ton of money renovating/rehabbing mall and complex from the floods of April 2010, that place is going to be there for a long time. I think Gaylord also is partner in the new CC Hotel. Exit/Inn is still there. Interestingly, I always thought the traffic in Nashville was much easier then any of the 3C's rush our traffic (lived in all 3). Their is a ton of new residential construction in the downtown core and expanding out from there (down Broadway/Westend, the Gulch, Germantown, SoBro, 12South, Charlotte ave) and I think it is becoming a much more urban city. Its the "popular" southern city now, previously Atlanta-->Charlotte.

    Still there. Good Breakfast.

    Very Strange location.
  10. It sounds like they plan on keeping the HQ here (good luck for NEO that they just started building there new HQ here), I would assume most of the corporate jobs would stay with the HQ. With Ireland's economy in the shambles, austerity planning currently, I wonder if there corporate taxes will stay that low.
  11. I actually think this is pretty funny.

    Yeah Germantown!- its my hood. You never leave Monell's hungry, by the way. I would argue that parts of Nashville are *very* charming. The neighborhoods over in East Nashville maybe the most so. Although I agree there is no place like OTR or German Village in Nashville. Part of the issue are these southern cities not on the coast are so much younger, and were not truly large cities until relatively recently, they never received the waves of immigrants that tended to build these sorts of locations.
  13. Schulman plant closing in Nashville will cut 60 jobs Good news for Ohio, bad new for Tennesse http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110827/BUSINESS/308270035/Schulman-plant-closing-Nashville-will-cut-60-jobs?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|s
  14. Lubrizol would fall of that list, because it would become part of Berkshire-Hathaway.
  15. Agreed that there are more highly ranked hospitals in the Cleve, and I support the MedMart there. The advantage that Nashville does have is HCA, a corporate hospital conglomerate-Fortune 100 company, and a number of other Hospital Corporations (including one that just bought out a number of Detroit based hospitals) are based here. These companies own hospitals all over the country, which would make this an appealing locale for a medical mart.
  16. Looks like Ohio will be picking up another Fortune 500 company, now that Marathon is breaking off its refining business as a seperate company and HQing it back in Findlay. Good news. http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110113/BUSINESS03/110119771
  17. ^I thought that too at first, but it looks like Bos Sci invested in that 8 mil in that company at its inception. They were likely going to buy them out anyway. At least the clinic makes some bank off the sale.
  18. ^The corn fritters at the Unionville Tavern were rediculous.

    ^ I would argue that Memphis and Cleveland have a similar rep

    Anybody remember Crazy Louie's and the Yucatan? That was the place to be in 1999/2000.
  23. Wow, those murals are surprisingly good. They look like Diego Rivera.

    "Anse Chastanet" in St. Lucia is pretty unbelievable, verrrrry secluded, secure, and attentive staff. 2 seperate beaches, 4 restaurants/bars, amazing views of the pitons. Johny Depp stayed here during filming of "Pirates of the Carib". The paparazzi still managed to find me however, and I ended up in People- long story.
