Yeah! Was wearing my Browns winter hat today and several people hi-fived me, thinking it was a Bengals hat haha. I went with it....it felt good :-) Ohio represent!!

It seems a little bizarre that you have an NBA owner trying to spur retail in the once great Tower City, while our guy with the alleged retail connections, Stark, is now AWOL. Meanwhile our football owner is somehow our primary lakefront developer lol.

Neat, I'd not heard of this development: Handmade model ships highlight Lorain's first industry at The Shipyards event center Carissa Woytach The Chronicle-Telegram Jul 02, 2020 6:00 AM LORAIN — A longstanding part of the city’s shipbuilding industry is finding a second life as an event center. The Shipyards’ grand opening is today. Formerly home to the American Shipbuilding Co. until the early 1980s, the space has traded its former industrial past for a taphouse, event center, cocktail lounge and coffee shop — but its owners are not letting history be forgotten. Restoring the former American Shipyards building wouldn’t have been complete without upgrading the pattern model that has hung in the building for the past 70 years. Now, it is a model of the Arthur M. Anderson, a cargo ship famous for being the last ship in contact with the SS Edmund Fitzgerald before it sank in November 1975. https://chroniclet.com/news/217260/handmade-model-ships-highlight-lorains-first-industry-at-the-shipyards-event-center/

Okay now, this person is all in, and truly living the glass block lifestyle.

I'm no engineer, but this could be an impediment: CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Deep beneath Lake Erie is a massive salt mine, stretching from Edgewater Beach to Burke Lakefront Airport and north about 3 miles. Cargill Deicing Technology extracts as much as 4 million tons of salt each year from the maze of tunnels, to sell as far as Minnesota and Massachusetts. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2017/12/go_under_lake_erie_and_inside.html

Having worked with Benesch in the distant past, I have no comment.

Very cool....Cleveland is such an interesting looking city.

From the New York Times Morning email: 52 Places for 2022 Bike trails to inspire carbon-conscious travelers. A Black district that is once again distinguishing itself as a cultural center. And a lush archipelago that resists overtourism. These three are among our 52 Places for 2022, an annual Times feature on great travel destinations. This year’s list highlights places where positive change is happening, whether environmental or cultural, and travelers can be part of it. But worthy doesn’t mean tedious. The vistas of Iberá Park in Argentina are stunning, even if you don’t know that the park’s grasslands are crucial to saving the strange-tailed tyrant birds. And the braised artichokes and Burgundy snails served at EDWINS in Cleveland are as much about gastronomy as they are about teaching former prisoners a new trade. See all 52 Places. — Natasha Frost, a Briefings writer

The Happy Dog was fun back then, probably my first introduction into the neighborhood. It seemed like an outpost. They didn't even have a liquor license it was byob. But yeah, my friends who bartended there were robbed at gunpoint more than once.

I'm never really sure what to make of these Zillow stats. Anyhow, still an interesting article on 2022 market: Inventory & Velocity Both restrictive supply overall – fewer sellers willing to sell, fewer homes built by builders – and sky-high demand can both lead to low inventory. The former is probably self-explanatory, but the latter is also interesting: When demand is very high, even a decent number of homes on the market can still sell very quickly given a high number of buyers, contributing to an overall low level of homes on the market at any given time even if the pace of new listings is healthy. And when new listings are quickly snatched up, it’s likely that means some buyers were left out, either moving too slow to secure a home while it was on the market, or not being able or willing to make a competitive enough offer. We can see where buyers had the hardest time finding a home in 2021, and so where there may be the most pent up demand in 2022. The fewest (standardized) listing days per home were in New Orleans, Cleveland, and Kansas City. These markets are forecast to have less deceleration than most other markets as well. https://www.zillow.com/research/zillow-2022-hottest-markets-tampa-30413/

^ The U.S. Air Force said it was all a cloud hahaha.

Who could have predicted that Antonio Brown would do something stupid?

Doesn't that always seem like what happens? The people committing crimes are repeatedly caught, then repeatedly set free to wreak havoc.

These are people that need to be separated from society, but in a manner that's safe, rehabilitative and productive; a system that doesn't destroy their lives in the way that our current system does.

I didn't say that was the problem, it's the implementation and the oversight. Read the article and tell me otherwise.

This is absolutely disgusting. This is criminal. This is proof the system is broken and perhaps even more proof that simply increasing funding to try and fix this broken mess is a mistake.

It's really sobering how all of the great momentum and good feelings of last season have just disappeared.

Right? I never understood why it seems that pre-European history of the Americas is so comparatively undervalued. Thanks for starting this thread.

The dna studies are fascinating! Even before that evidence, it's certainly no stretch of the imagination that Polynesians made it to the Americas. Also there is some evidence of linguistic and technological connection as well. Polynesians, tribes linked BY JOE ROBINSON SEPT. 6, 2005 12 AM PT FAMED for their epic navigational feats, the Polynesians may have sailed a lot farther than anyone suspected. Two researchers have found limited but intriguing evidence that suggests these mariners made it to Southern California between AD 400 and AD 800. While they were here, they passed along their boat-building technology to the local Chumash and Gabrielino Indians, according to Terry Jones, anthropology professor at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Kathryn Klar, a UC Berkeley lecturer, whose research appeared in the peer-reviewed journal American Antiquity. Unlike the dugout canoes and rafts used by other Native Americans, the Chumash and Gabrielinos built sturdy Polynesian-style plank canoes, which allowed them to sail longer distances and fish in the deep sea. Klar found a Polynesian connection in the word for the vessel. The Chumash term for the “sewn-plank canoe,” tomolo’o, unrelated to any other in the language, is linguistically connected to the Polynesian tumuRaa’au, as is the Gabrielino term for the plank boat. The researchers also found Chumash fish hooks are dead ringers for Polynesian models. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-sep-06-os-briefs6.2-story.html#:~:text=The Chumash term for the,dead ringers for Polynesian models.

Somebody dig up that Smart Bar era pic of Musky hahaha

I clicked thinking Seton Hall was changing their name lol.

Well if anything I suppose the delay at least gives that QB some time to learn the playbook.

Does anyone know how many key players the Browns are likely to have back on Monday?

Lots of great team footage here:
