^ Don't they mean NorthEAST corner of High St? Or am I just backwards? [edit: oh, they must mean northwest corner of the structure, not of the intersection]

Be prepared for a more drastic change on the uniforms. I just heard an interview with Browns prez Alec Scheiner. Putting a logo on the helmet would've been too controversial...but he gave every indication that the rest of the uniforms were fair game for a complete overhaul. Personally, I think if you want an idea of what they'll look like, just google search Okalahoma State and Oregon State.

Whoever put out those first Jacobs Field ads, get those guys back. Really. Those t.v. commercials made me play catch with my dad, then run out and buy season tickets.

Seriously, if they wanted to make the 2014 Logo look great, well, mission accomplished.

Scrappy Doo? More like Scrappy DON'T. Hey oh!! p.s. If I had to guess the name of the new font they're using it would be "Kindergarten."

Agree. Yet I don't recall seeing many crosswalks. I could be wrong, but it looked like east-west connectivity to that parkland didn't seem like much of a consideration.

Agree. The last streetscape proposal appears to make this stretch into something of a boulevard. It didn't seem to be very pedestrian oriented.

It's downright criminal that Morris Day gets overlooked.

This makes me laugh every time I see Wayne's reaction. She really had no idea. About anything. Ever. And yet our top 20 television market outlet hired her as an anchor. That split second when he looks at the camera, and his expression just says "Oh, she's definitely fired."

Granted the lakefront pathway is a nice addition. Do you know if there will there be true lake access? if so, then more props to Euclid. Because in Lakewood it's actually illegal to get to the water in Lakewood Park. There is no public access to the Lake anywhere in Lakewood which is sort of ironic, I think.

Heck I'm kind of torn on this. Like the lake-adjacent greenery a lot. But not a fan of those very long stretches of armored coastline. The stones they're using (oh man, please don't let them use broken up concrete) look kind of strange in the rendering. It's hard to visualize what they'll look like in reality. And what's to stop all sorts of weeds and trees from growing up through the gaps? This efforts, while laudable, just don't seem to provide enough greenery or enough sand. This will continue to look like a very unnatural shoreline.

Hahaha.....Phil Holmgren.

"Man in a hat" logo? What is it, an outline of Jason Mraz?

JobsOhio could be a real issue, but it takes a lot of explaining and connecting the dots. It's almost more an inside baseball type of a thing. The PD interview could possibly be used against him to somehow show that he's a jerk. Not sure if most voters would care too much, though incidentally many Ohio voters would be seeing it for the first time. Even with the video, the guys got a long way to go before he gets into Chris Christie level A-hole territory.

That's what I'm getting at. I was referring specifically to their views on government action, which is more germane here, unless we are proposing a rail system funded by charity. Yes, they like deciding where their money goes. The exact same charitable function (e.g. feeding the hungry) becomes abhorrent if government is doing it, or if it primarily benefits people they don't like. So my point is that it's all about the messaging, the packaging of the idea. Oh, roger that.

They love freedom and commerce and efficiency. They don't favor cities or helping the poor. Well, if you seriously want to change peoples opinions about transportation, you should probably start with being a bit more understanding. Bleeding Heart Tightwads By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF This holiday season is a time to examine who’s been naughty and who’s been nice, but I’m unhappy with my findings. The problem is this: We liberals are personally stingy. Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates. Arthur Brooks, the author of a book on donors to charity, “Who Really Cares,” cites data that households headed by conservatives give 30 percent more to charity than households headed by liberals. A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/opinion/21kristof.html?_r=0

You're not dense lol, I should have just explained it better. To clarify, I was pointing out how the Museum landscape calls for lots of interesting things, like varied multi-tiered landscaping, trees, exhibits, wetlands, pathways, educational areas, things you've mentioned etc. I was just wondering if those are the kinds of things that proponents of overhauling the Malls wanted to see. Me personally, I think the Malls function nicely as is; just simple well-kept open areas. But I could be won over by a drastically different plan that's as well-thought out and as interesting as what's going on at the Museum.

You're aware that the only substantial green space in the Museum of Natural History plan is essentially a zoo, right? ADDENDUM: I could definitely favor a more interesting design of the Malls, but the slope of Mall B and the fact that Malls B and C are essentially green roofs probably limits the options to some extent. What? I posted the Museum article because it's precisely NOT that. Sorry but I thought I was pretty clear in that. I think there's a value on keeping the Mall spaces open and simple. But seems like a lot of people are envisioning something much more, varied and in-depth. In that regard, does anyone else think that the future mall landscape could follow the lead of what's being proposed at the Museum of Natural History?

This is what happens when you assign values solely on the basis of skin color....you get a ridiculous article filled with third rate pseudo sociology that's in itself borderline racist, like this one, from ASIAN-AMERICAN-WHITE-GUILT-APOLOGIST Clevelander Arthur Chu. Kanye West vs. white mediocrity: The real story behind Beck, Beyonce and “SNL” 40 Kanye takes more heat than anyone. Post-Grammys and "SNL" 40, we're finally seeing his critics for what they are ARTHUR CHU There was a lot to criticize about the “Saturday Night Live” 40th anniversary celebration–Jerry Seinfeld’s #SorryNotSorry joshing around about “SNL’s” 40-year history of whiteness, cringeworthy reminders of the show’s tendency to run dubiously funny gags into the ground, and the mystifying continued relevance of Sarah Palin. So it was strange–though not surprising, for Internet junkies–that Kanye West came in for an avalanche of criticism for doing what was basically a competent, if flawed, music video that was as good or better than any other musical act that night. But this is par for the course with the ever-rolling tide of Kanye West hot takes. It’s never really about the last thing he did, it’s about the thing he did before–the (sigh) 2015 Grammygate incident–and whether that thing reminds you of something else he did before (the 2009 VMAgate incident), and so on, and so on, ad infinitum. http://www.salon.com/2015/02/17/kanye_west_vs_white_mediocrity_the_real_story_behind_beck_beyonce_and_snl_40/

Slow clap in your honor. We are all unique individuals first. Plus, being automatically categorized as a member of a "disadvantaged group" is a tremendous burden to carry around.

Are you saying to think more Central Park as opposed to National Mall? Yes, right! Well, obviously not on Central Park's scale. But the funding amounts that were initially thrown around for developing the malls suggested a lot more than a well kept grassy field. Again, I see value in both. It's cool to see people using that field for frisbee and touch football. There aren't too many places downtown to do that. That is, not until CSU (maybe, hopefully) gets a more inviting athletic complex that allows public use as at Kent and Akron and virtually every other college.

Wow, Marcs....I can't go in there without getting claustrophobia! I'm not sure I'll be visiting Lucky's that often when I'm back in CLE. But I'm certain that will be a successful location for them. Anyone think this place will seriously cut into business for Sapells, mini-Constantinos, GFS (worthless imho) or Aldi's?

It was crowded sometimes. But it was also a veritable rats nest. The new place looks like a destination grocery. The rats nest GE was quite the opposite, so a huge win for the hood.

If he can just keep hitting that outside shot with consistency, that alone is a great added bonus. And I gotta say I was impressed with his athletic, aggressive move toward the basket on the play where he was elbowed in the face. He's a tough s.o.b.
