    Agree while dt Albuquerque is boring, the ambiance and natural beauty of the area can be most alluring. And that's a very interesting link. Thanks for posting!

    ^ Point well taken. Prince had Brian Wilson-esque production abilities when he was on top of his game. But just to stick up for Keith R. a little bit, I really dig the recent album which he co-wrote and co-produced.
  4. ^ the sheer number of culturally significant people from NE Ohio is astonishing.
  5. Chargers will grab Tunsil. They have an ever narrowing window with Rivers and they're going to try their best to keep him intact. Some Philly radio guy came on 92.3 yesterday to say that the fans in Philly hate the trade.

    ^ Can you imagine the uproar if Houston manages to tie the series? Sad to see Andy not get any playing time. My guess is that the injury last year effectively ended his career.

    I'm predicting (hoping for) a Minneapolis memorial concert featuring Morris Day, Appolonia 6 and Sheila E.
  8. Well speaking personally, my downtown office is on E.12th. It's a long walk from Tower City. I have tried the free Trolley and unless it's nearby I don't see the point in waiting for it, especially in inclement weather. Now if a line ran along E.9th, that to me is a game changer. That's closer than where I could park my car.
  9. Hahahaha good point....sorry.
  10. "We are definitely headed to Cleveland,” he told reporters today after a rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania. “And in Cleveland, the people are going to prevail.”
  11. Just noticed this new site. If you're downtown there's some great choices for lunch. http://www.5thstreetarcades.com/
  12. Thirsty cities begin to eye water from the Great Lakes By Josephine Marcotty MINNEAPOLIS Nearly a decade ago, eight governors shook hands on an extraordinary agreement to erect a legal wall around the largest source of fresh water on Earth — the Great Lakes. The unusual bipartisan compact, signed by the heads of the states that border the massive basin, aimed to keep the increasingly valuable water right where it is for the 40 million people who rely on it for their jobs, their homes and their vacations. Now they face the first test. Waukesha, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, has asked for the right to pull drinking water from Lake Michigan. In coming weeks or months the current eight governors, will have to make a critical decision on how to share — or not — one-fifth of the world's fresh water. The question arises against a backdrop of increasing national conflicts over water and growing concerns about the way pollution and climate change are threatening the world's water supply. http://www.thespec.com/news-story/6505024-thirsty-cities-begin-to-eye-water-from-the-great-lakes/
  13. Anyone else old enough that they thought of this: (My apologies if anyone fell in love with and/or married this render....old wounds....the Lakefront Plan is a harsh mistress!!!!)
  14. ^ First rule of UO: Never fall in love with a rendering!!!
  15. Which forum member do you think it was?
  16. I'm a regular at their Rocky River location. It's a great company.
  17. Seems like it's the end of the line for these tribute cities. Shame, I am rooting for Worlds Fair era Chicago Lakefront and original Penn Station!

    ^ Indeed!
  19. Anyone else take the Edgewater exit into Battery Park yet? I seem to be the only person in my circle of friends that knows you can do this.

    Not a fan of Eli, but he's got himself a really nice place. http://ny.curbed.com/2016/4/11/11408664/rent-eli-manning-hoboken-tea-building
  22. ^ The window-to-wall ratio makes that look more like a water treatment plant than a school.
  23. Conspiracy? Ha. Not sure what's up. I suppose some unseen, higher force doesn't want the world to enjoy the official video "Sleepwalk" by the band Pere Ubu.
  24. Sorry I can not find a better version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-9lMVZGI74
  25. Ya know this is often said about Lakewood. And I don't doubt it. But for a place as dense as Lakewood it is surprisingly auto reliant. Even at the Gold Coast you would expect there to be more walkable amenities, but those residents are somewhat sequestered. Being that this building is located in arguably the most walkable section of town, it may be indeed a game changer.
