Very good news. I was concerned for these historic buildings.

Ditto with the Cleveland Cinemateque. Stellar national reputation.

For the record, I never said that skin color wasn’t an important fact in this case. Just that it’s sad we have been and perhaps always will be at that point where it’s normal to suspect racist motives.

^ yep.

^ anyone else find it sad that here we are, it’s 2018 and the skin color of the victim has to be mentioned like it’s an important fact.

It figures then that theaters are a cornerstone of Flats 3.0 haha. I’d hate to see the CIFF leaves TC. But it would be sorta cool to see that event gravitate toward Playgouse Square.

Southern tier is excellent! Nice gain for Gateway.

Aside from Columbus, I think this would be most transformative for Newark, Pitt and Indy. Maybe if it's Columbus it helps to spur 3C rail talk once again.

^ Gothcha. I used to watch basketball games there at the above spot when my office was in Oswald Center. I'm sure one of the CSU folks can clue you in on your search.

Maybe here?

Cudell is the worst CDC ever.

That's a great point. But I gotta say from my vantage point there are still tons of football fans in SD. No more Charger fans everyplace....but there are two Browns backer bars. Heck, there are TWO Patriots bars in my tiny neighborhood alone!

This is disconcerting to hear. Is there any indication that the owners are at least securing the building from further damage?

I agree. It's a perplexing provincial attitude. Every rational person in the neighborhood should be lobbying for more residents. Perhaps some renters are concerned about being priced out?

^ funny how several of the attendees suspect the city is clandestinely working on behalf of a developer.

^ The shooting victim appears to have been out of control. By these news accounts he seems like a nice guy who made some extremely poor decisions that night.

Local tourism rose in year without Chargers San Diego Union Tribune admits that economists were right The Union-Tribune admitted this morning (January 14) that those "pointy-headed, sissy" economists were right all along: the San Diego economy remained strong during the year that the Chargers were gone. From the mid-1990s to last year, the U-T, radio and television stations, the hotel lobbyists, and others vehemently argued that the Chargers and Padres were big stimulants to the local economy and deserved huge public subsidies. In my U-T and Reader columns, I regularly interviewed economists who said that was a bunch of hooey. This morning, the U-T, tail wagging between its legs, admitted it was a bunch of hooey. Hotel occupancy has risen in the year the Chargers were gone. Economists always said that few people came from out of town to watch games. There were a few exceptions: Los Angelenos who came down to watch the Dodgers play, got drunk, and stayed overnight. Also, in 2016 when Dean Spanos and Mark Fabiani were doing their darnedest to alienate San Diegans so they would lose the election and be free to move to L.A., out-of-towners came to San Diego to see their teams play the Chargers because they could get cheap tickets in good seats at the then-named Qualcomm Stadium. https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2018/jan/14/ticker-local-tourism-rose-year-without-chargers/

If anyone's been on the Google today FYI the MLK themed art was done by a friend, Cleveland's own Cannaday Chapman. Cannaday's an illustrator and all-round-good-guy at American Greetings. Enjoy! www.google.com http://www.cannadaychapman.com/

I wish the article explained this a little better. It only mentions "an off duty police officer" working part time. But yeah, it would make sense if "off-duty work" was a specific, legal term for doing private security. They have ID'd the officer and unfortunately he's had some problems in the past. Attendance issues basically. Equivalent of time card fraud. Funny how the PeeDee mentioned this, and did not mention that the guy the police killed in Euclid had earlier been caught in a roundup of the Lakeshore Boyz gang. It seems to be taking a long time to ID the victim. CPD is having a busy morning though. Double murder on the east side, aggravated robbery/kidnapping at W. 117th Subway. Well, it paints the officer as dishonest. Anyhow it appears there were several witnesses to the incident, so that should help. I'd be shocked if there isn't video as well. Great point. Overall, it's very sad to think that a fun night of bowling would turn into a traumatic and violent episode.

That's interesting to me. I wonder what the limitations are on this policy. I'm sure the officers don't complete authority to wear their uniform for just any outside job.

Do officers in Cleveland wear uniforms when working off-duty?

I hear you. A community among the wetlands with lake access, connected by boardwalks, in close proximity yet separate from the city....could be something really special.

See the "Before and After" San Diego example above. THe roundabouts are much better for pedestrians in that case. I'm no traffic engineer, but somehow they were able to cut the road width down from five lanes of traffic to only two.
