  1. I was wondering this myself after learning there aren't intersections. Is it perhaps a first step? I don't particularly have a problem with reducing the speed, people drive way too fast on the shoreway as it is. And perhaps makes it less intimidating to build up to?
  2. I see the w28th and w45th safety improvements are supposed to be complete by summer 2015 (thank god, that 28th entrance is a daily terror). Mainline improvements are still in planning phase, to be done spring 2014. I guess this is what I'm most interested in, is there anything more than this buried somewhere? It'll probably be concurrent with the w28/45th improvements though?
  3. Thanks. I'm sure it's totally obvious but I can't find the timeline?
  4. I'm not great with the terminology, but does that mean there won't be any traffic signals if there aren't any at-grade intersections? That's the only way their prediction that lowering the speed limit to 35 mph will only add 75 seconds of transit time makes sense to me. Also I'm having a hard time following the details of this. Is there a timeline for when the conversion will start? Will it be possible to keep it open during the conversion? I live on Edgewater and need to seriously evaluate if I need to relocate to the East side if this is happening soon.
  5. Michael Symon will take 'The Chew' audience behind the scenes at his Cleveland restaurants http://www.cleveland.com/dining/index.ssf/2014/02/michael_symon_will_take_the_vi.html#incart_river Sorry for poor formatting, posting from my phone.
  6. Always skeptical of lists like these, but hey. Lakewood deemed a most exciting small city http://www.the-review.com/local%20real%20estate/2014/01/09/lakewood-deemed-a-most-exciting-small-city A pretty wide distribution of cities. I didn't read it that closely but it sounded like they had some interesting metrics they were working with. 1. Hoboken, N.J. 2. La Crosse, Wis. 3. Chapel Hill, N.C. 4. Lancaster, Pa. 5. New Brunswick, N.J. 6. Manhattan, Kan. 7. Lakewood, Ohio 8. Royal Oak, Mich. 9. San Marcos, Texas 10. Sarasota, Fla.
  7. What's your PhD docta?
  8. I'm Case alum (2001) as well as a current student
  9. I just interviewed at Cinci's med school and was really impressed. I've also interviewed at Case. They're very different programs - Case is very small group oriented whereas Cinci is more a "classic" lecture based program. So it'll mostly come down to personal preference, they're both excellent programs. Cinci definitely has an edge in terms of facility, it's a beautiful, modern building with lots of amenities. Case is pretty old, although they're fixing that in a couple years with a new building.
  10. I recently hit that Constantino's and was pretty disappointed. Nothing like the downtown location I used to frequent. I haven't been but the uptown one looks pretty sweet too. People are probably thinking of those. I have to agree that'd be much more exciting, I'm sick of seeing GE's everywhere as well. It really doesn't feel like any of the others would be feasible though.
  11. They are aiming to have the new medical school building done in time for the 2016 entering class (which starts July). I haven't seen any new renderings, and they were pretty careful to say the ones that had been released were very early concepts and would probably change considerably. Idk how these things go, maybe they always say that to cover their butts.
  12. ClevelandOhio, can you generate that same list for robberies only? I'm curious to see how flawed the FBI stats are
  13. I don't recall the exact comparison, but remember seeing some FBI statistics that had Cleveland Heights the highest in the area (I'm guessing among other suburbs). I'm only asking because some people seem to think this is a new phenomenon but I'm not sure it is.
  14. Hasn't Cleveland Heights had the highest rate of robberies in the area for quite a while now? And poor On The Rise, they were trashed not too long ago by a guy who went nuts
  15. Guy leaves note saying girl is cute & his number, girl calls police http://www.cleveland.com/lakewood/index.ssf/2013/10/lakewood_woman_concerned_about.html
  16. Looks like a great resource, thanks for sharing.
  17. With Heinen's going downtown does that mean for certain they won't consider the w117 rotunda? I apologize if this has already been covered. Just moved back to the Goldcoast and it's really not a huge deal heading to the Rocky River store but that would have been pretty sweet to be able to walk to it.
  18. I feel like the new place in Lakewood, El Carnicero, is almost identical to Momocho, and bigger so probably easier to get into? I don't particularly care for either place, so maybe I'm not appreciating any nuanced differences.
  19. I've witnessed some of these neurostimulation devices firsthand, specifically a paraplegic veteran who was able to stand on his own two feet with the assistance of an implanted stimulation device. It's pretty incredible stuff. http://www.hivelocitymedia.com/features/neurostimulation082213.aspx

    So I guess some people were chanting "Detroit's bankrupt" yesterday at the game in response to tigers fans chanting and from the Google results they're pretty pissed about it
  21. Apparently Sammy's was the vendor servicing the Case Club in Severance Hall, which is now closed as well until they find a new vendor. I didn't even know this place existed, tbh, I'm kind of looking forward to checking it out once they re-open.
  22. Missed this one too lmao Guess that explains the huge Puerto Rican biker gang that rumbled by as I was tucking into my eggs
  23. This is probably embarrassingly obvious, but does anyone know why the shoreway was closed today? I was confused why Detroit was so crazily backed up while heading to brunch at XYZ this morning.
  24. NYC

    Momofuku Noodle Bar is reasonably priced although the menus don't explicitly list prices for some reason. They also have an online reservation system. http://momofuku.com/new-york/noodle-bar/dinner/
