^ Great work. Now there's just a couple more brick fortresses to open up.

IN THE INTEREST IN PROTECTING THE CUSTOMER..... Hahahahaha.....right....

Maybe we can talk them into saving their energy for Pittsburgh!

Good call. I won't be complaining.

Just got this shot from the Lakewood Observer.....wow. http://media.lakewoodobserver.com/images_full_res/3ec5cee8e7cb2a19c757d25120e3ab0b.jpg

From the Pittsburgh Gazette Can the Cleveland Browns win the AFC North in 2014? 36% Yes 21% Maybe 43% No

Great news. There was talk that this beautiful building was a goner.

As stated above, I'd prefer to keep the windows. Even if they're decorative/non functioning, they're aesthetically consistent. And maybe even cheaper.

Seemed like there was good rapport last night. Very "team-like." Seven players in double figures! Dion stepped up the defense when it counted most. And classic, unstoppable LeBron when it counted most. Stretches of cold shooting for sure. But they held together.

Got to comment, those night shots of downtown look great.

wow. John kasich has inspired such debate!

I agree that gap needs to be a focal point, a crucial one. We are seeing an incomplete picture re: termination point. From comments in recent article it appears the North Coast Harbor stakeholders are very optimistic about future plans to improve connectivity. If that's truly the case, then I'd like to see some evidence that all parties are working together so this money spent isn't a waste. Or a hindrance to future improvements.

Correct. As proposed, this bridge will only foster more disconnection between Rock Hall/Stadium/Science Ctr.

Freedom isn't free....what hypocrisy.

Ohio: Tesla restrictions in progress? http://www.valuewalk.com/2014/03/tesla-motors-inc-tsla-now-banned-in-5-states/

So, by comparison I'm going to guess that something like this option would cost approx $723 Billion?

If you can, make sure to take a pilgrimage down to the Stadium along the shores of Lake Eerie and catch a game. :-)

Oops, forgot to post. Was perusing the WSJ print edition last weekend and came across this. The Maestro of Midwest Revival The billionaire who brought LeBron James back to Cleveland talks about his business bet on the big cities of the former Rust Belt. By MATTHEW KAMINSKI Updated Oct. 31, 2014 6:42 p.m. ET Cleveland ‘The Return” to northeast Ohio on Thursday night didn’t come off as hoped. Opening the NBA season in Cleveland after a four-year detour to Miami, LeBron James couldn’t lead the Cavaliers to a win over the New York Knicks. But that hardly dampened enthusiasm for the restoration of the “King.” LeBron is everywhere here—on giant billboards, carved into Halloween pumpkins and in a long Nike television spot huddling with seemingly all of Cleveland before a game. “I have to pinch myself,” says his former and current boss, Dan Gilbert, three months after the best basketball player on the planet chose to come home. “It’s unbelievable.” The morale and marketing boost for a Rust Belt city sometimes bitingly known as “the mistake on the lake” is a kind of redemption and affirmation for the Cavs owner. At 52, Mr. Gilbert has accomplished a few things beyond reeling in LeBron. The son of a Detroit bar owner, Mr. Gilbert started a mortgage business that he turned into Quicken Loans, amassing a fortune of $4 billion. He owns about 100 companies, multiple casinos and hotels, and much of downtown Detroit. Yet here’s what comes up first about him on Google: the 434 splenetic words he wrote four years ago in “The Letter.” When the Cavs star, an Akron native, announced in 2010 that he was heading to South Beach, it broke Ohio’s heart. Mr. Gilbert banged out a message to Cavs fans blasting “this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own.” Calling Mr. James “heartless and callous,” “narcissistic” and “cowardly,” Mr. Gilbert promised that Cleveland would win an NBA championship before Miami. LeBron won two rings in Florida. The men didn’t talk for four years. http://online.wsj.com/articles/matt-kaminski-the-maestro-of-midwest-revival-1414794678

Anyone have an answer to this? Anyone??? I could suit up and have at least one assist. Granted I wouldn't have scored 30 points haha.

First of all, JobsOhio is not a settled matter. In a Kasich candidacy, it would likely face more scrutiny than from the largely docile Ohio Capitol press corps. Second of all, Kasich's arrogant and petulant behavior in the video of his Plain Dealer endorsement interview with Fitzgerald -- which also was ignored by Ohio's compliant press -- would make great footage on TV. (IMO, that shows at least as much about Kasich's character than the driver's license fiasco does about Fitzgerald's.) Kasich's top-down, closed-door, close-knit-crony style of management also would get more scrutiny from a national press corps and a national Democratic party than from than from the flaccid press and party in Ohio. These are good points. Like his connection to the banking oligarchy, it's some good ammo. Still, I don't think these negatives are to the point that Kasich wouldn't be able to recover, assuming his guys are capable of running a positive spin campaign. In comparison, I do think Chris Christie crossed the point of no return with his nuclear diatribe last week vs. that Hurricane Sandy relief worker.

Are you still talking about Republicans?

Well the quietness of this forum speaks volumes. The Cavs only point guard is out for 4-6 weeks.

I warned you. I warned all of you.

What I took from the article was that a significant amount of these issues are the result of poor planning, and not necessarily overt voter suppression. By the way, when I attended the University of Akron the polling places were very hard to locate. In one year they were in the basement of project housing development - no signs. I always thought that was ingenious bit of Akron style corruption in effect.

Something like this?
