Just tacky advertising lol.

Technically “Into the Night” by Benny Mardones though written in 1980, it charted in 89, a year after “17.”

Wow, ok I’ll be checking that later.

That’s terrible. I’d certainly choose driving vs. that cost. I have a severe hangover from last years CLE-SAN prices. Flights are really expensive now.

Huh, what kind of info did you find?

Not to sound like a Winger apologist, but I saw them at Germaine Ampitheatre in C-bus in 2004. They sounded pretty good. The headliners were Cinderella and Poison. My friend got me free tix and backstage passes...because otherwise I’m not paying $2 for that show lol. I think I heard 15 hit songs that night! Since the rock hall (and the industry) loves its commercial artists I have to wonder if Poison won’t get some consideration. If any of you have the chance to seee Poison live - do it.

I'm very excited to see how the bookstore/brewery works out on the first floor. If you can drink and read in the same spot... ill be there. I have a suggestion for their bar :-) https://goo.gl/images/gr6Z9s

Cool! I have never knew of the World Seeies of Rock. Makes sense that it was a Belkin production, they were big time. What a crazy history!

Aw well, at least only the one is closing....still two left.

When was the last time CLE had a top notch music festival? Ever?? It’s about damn time. Lol [/member] confidential BON JOVI event.

Yeah same thought. I’m not sure you want to be digging around that soil. However, maybe the canal concept could be incorporated as part of a wetland reclamation project. The major water quality issue we have is from rainwater rushing off hard surfaces - the steep streets into the flats for instance - and directly into the river. Or perhaps a shallow decorative canal like in San Antonio would suffice?

Ha. Well, for this list “most popular” certainly doesn’t equal “most desired,” but that’s not to say it’s not good, useful information.

You can see the Rangers lose from that aerial haha. GO DEVILS.

“Alternative” was probably the most politics (in the office sense) ridden, network based, middleman ridden, and general horsepoop infested music scene since the days of the Hapsburg courts. It’s no surprise to me that no Cleveland based bands made it. Even my brother’s best band, which had some brilliant originals and the manager of the Maple Heights Record Exchange as its lead singer, never made anything resembling a mark. It was right before the ‘net changed everything, for the better in many ways. Right. The labels controlled significant airplay and they never mined NE Ohio, despite a wealth of original material. The drummer of Semisonic wrote a book about his experiences in the industry as a one hit wonder. Essentially all about politics and modern (90s version) of payola. Virtually every market had their own 107.9 The End type station. So easy to play gatekeeper until that pesky internet thing. It’s a fascinating read.

The brewery hasnt been attracting any sort of wild party crowd. I don’t expect that to change.

Let it Whip!!!! Also, The James Gang has aged particularly well. I still hear Funk 49 and Walk Away pretty regularly in California. It still confounds me that not a single one of the 3,000 local alt-rock bands never went anywhere in the 90's. p.s. now to bring this post full circle, the bassist for the James Gang produced.......Let it Whip for the Dazz Band. It actually won him a grammy for recording. Who was the bass player that produced it? I never heard that before? Dale Peters. He's quietly had a most prolific career, check this out: Dale Peters is a longtime musician (The James Gang) and recording engineer who was Director of Remote Recording for Westwood One Network. Dale has engineered over 100 recordings and has done over 350 live recordings for artists such as Aerosmith, R.E.M., CSN, U2, The Police, Todd Rundgren, John Mellencamp, Jimmy Page, Don Henley, Neil Young, Roger Waters, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue,Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Peter Gabriel and Ozzie Osbourne. He was the recording and mixing engineer for the live television coverage for Amnesty International, Farm Aid (1985-1990) and the Moscow Music Peace Festival, which was the first live satellite broadcast ever to originate from the Soviet Union. He also co-engineered Van Halen's Live Without A Net music video, the best selling long form music video at that time. Dale either recorded or mixed many of MTV Unplugged concerts and recorded and mixed Madonna's first live worldwide broadcast via satellite from the Orange Bowl. "Dale has been awarded many gold records, an AMPEX Golden Reel Award and a Society for Communicating Arts Award. He was awarded a Grammy for engineering the song Let It Whip from The Dazz Band album Keep It Live.

Nah I think you’re right. The Cars are the closest.

The proper names is the 'Dona Brady Center for Parking and Transparent Government Accountability' see also: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dona-Brady-Center-for-Parking-and-Transparent-Government-Accountability/165481014087554 I’ll totally donate money for the historical marker that this beautiful new parking lot deserves.

Good to see the Elmwood wasn’t a flip. That’s a total makeover! My best friend just jumped on a quad at Fry and Clifton. He paid cash at 15k over the asking price. The race is on!!

Occam’s razor....this is a movie set and they’re filming Spider-Man IV lol. There’s no other explanation.

I know Mike Brady is a fictional architect from a 1970s sitcom, but is there some new software that mimics what he would design if he were alive? Because this building makes me think that is possible.

Funding gymnastics.

Does this mean that Stark or other developers in that 20 story category can essentially bypass local obstacles?

It is crazy. Perhaps it’s time for the Lakewood observer to observe some of this good news lol.
