  1. So on the money. If the SEC is so elite they should have no reservations about playing some cold weather games up north.
  2. I totally saw that thing. It was a cool machine! Good. So I'm not crazy ha ha.
  3. A few weeks ago I thought I saw this going on: http://i.imgur.com/gXrSZx3.gif
  4. The dead zones are just as damaging as the huge surface lots imho.
  5. Speculation: The Print Edition. Lakewood Hospital Closing, Kind Of by Jim O'Bryan For the past 4 years Bill Call has been saying that the Cleveland Clinic is closing it doors and pulling out of Lakewood. At first I thought it was crazy talk, after all who wouldn’t want a hospital in the middle of 52,000 residents, right? Then over the past year I have seen scene after scene reminiscent of what we covered when the Cleveland Clinic pulled out of East Cleveland and closed Huron Road Hospital. The announcement was made that Huron Road Hospital was no longer financially viable and that the residents could easily make it to another clinic or hospital in the area. The fact seemed to be that the overhead of treating un-insured patients was dragging Huron Road down, leading to its eventual closing. This is where the waters always get muddy for those not in-the-know. “Aren't hospitals non-profits?” No, they are for-profits with non-profit designation. No business can afford to operate at a loss, and while one would think something as huge as the Cleveland Clinic could afford to be more generous than say Parma Hospital, the last community-owned hospital in the area, which was recently taken over by University Hospitals. Community hospitals, it would seem, are a dying breed. http://lakewoodobserver.com/read/2014/12/29/clinic-announces-changes-to-lakewood-hospital-1st-quarter
  6. I'm not glad, but I'm not upset either. There was a very corporate vibe at WOB. Plus they booked cover bands...I hated that. You have tons of amazing, original music in NEO and instead you would rather have some goofballs playing "American Pie" and "Sweet Home Alabama" not good.
  7. Unlike in Cleveland, the Lakewood portion of Clifton was in good condition. So naturally most of the infrastructural work went into the CLE side.

    Karl Strauss in San Diego. They were a bold alternative in the 90's. Now they're fairly bland by today's standards. For the record I think GLBC is way better than Karl Strauss. And Gordon Biersch.
  9. Business hours for WSM. MONDAY & WEDNESDAY: 7am - 4pm FRIDAY & SATURDAY: 7am - 6pm. Something's not right. The OC bars are usually pretty dead during these times.
  10. It would be great to fill in all those garages with retail. But even if that's not feasible check out how unnecessarily wide the sidewalks are along Superior. One can envision some pop up stores fitting there, or perhaps even some more substantial retail frontage constructed parallel to the garages.

    Well with the injury we didn't see that much, but to me he still looks overwhelmed. The entire offense has been in a shambles for several weeks now...whether it's Hoyer or Manziel it's really not fun to watch.

    My first thought was they get to put a new name on that jersey in the warehouse dist.
  13. I feel like any development that could give more attention to Ernest Angley Ministries would probably not be a great investment.
  14. "Ghouliardi" was a clue in the Halloween themed LA Times crossword puzzle. I found it strange that anyone outside of NEO would've known that one.

    The Browns look several drafts away from being any good. I'm not sure how they're perpetually so bad...but they are.
  17. I'm rooting for you guys. But Dalton, wow, he looks shaky.
  18. You're forgetting Moses Cleaveland...came there, stayed for ten minutes...left.

    I thought that was sewer work.

    This reminds me of Sonny Bono, who wasn't the least bit interested in politics until he tried to open a restaurant. Let's be honest, most of the rules surrounding alcohol sales exist merely protect the large, politically connected operations. New Hampshire’s Libertarian Beer Renaissance December 9, 2014 by Livia Gershon What could thousands of libertarians do if they moved, en masse, to one tiny state and tried their hardest to reduce taxes, regulation, and general government meddling in people's lives? That's the question that one group of die-hard liberty-lovers has been trying to answer for more than a decade. Founded in 2001, the movement, known as the ​Free State Project, has persuaded nearly 17,000 people, from across the US and other countries, to sign a pledge promising to move to New Hampshire once the number of signers reaches 20,000. So far, 1,674 "early movers" have already relocated to the state. As you might expect from libertarians, the Free State migrants don't have a single strategy when it comes to turning New Hampshire into an Ayn Randian paradise. Some Free Staters have been trying to change the state from within the system—between ​15 and 20 members​ of the 400-seat New Hampshire House of Representatives are now associated with the Free State Project. Others are trying to build their own utopian institutions, starting businesses and schools aimed at putting as much distance as possible between themselves and Big Government.​ Kevin Bloom is seriously involved in both. A real estate agent-turned craft brewer, Bloom moved to New Hampshire with the Free State Project in 2008, and founded a microbrewery in Concord, the state capital. After the venture failed—due in part, he claims, to regulatory hurdles—he helped lead a campaign to pass the nation's first nanobrewery law, differentiating tiny beer producers (2,000 barrels a year or less) from their larger counterparts. Essentially, the law legalizes a scaled-up version of home brewing in your toolshed, letting hobbyists and other experimental fermenters tap into the growing market for craft beer. http://www.vice.com/read/new-hampshires-libertarian-beer-renaissance-129
  22. The HVAC sounds like a thousand demons escaping Hell. You can sort of envision how improvements can be made to improve the streetscape, ie add reatail space, built up to the sidewalk. This is a case where yes, you do want to compromise whatever the architect was thinking. Does the outside of a jail necessarily have to look like a jail? But since the Center is in the way of the Warehouse District, I'm certain that Hilton guests will traverse that ugly block anyhow.
  23. Haha!! Well they've got to develop that subway/bridge space sometime. Something as simple as a bikeway-walkway with some retail kiosks along the way would be nice. Think of it, you could go from that building into Tower City without having to brave the elements. How's that for a selling point?
  24. If I'm not mistaken, this building connects underground with the subway. Hmmmm
  25. thats unfortunate. ive seen a few accidents and countless of close calls over the years.
