  2. My friend Jon (cross-posted to the I love Cleveland thread) Street Artist With Brain Cancer Paints Picture of Hope With New Therapy This summer, street artist Jon Sedor has braved blistering heat to complete two colorful outdoor murals for Cleveland-area clients – one in Edgewater, on the banks of Lake Erie, and another in the Shaker Heights, Ohio, district of Van Aken. When temperatures get really hot, he’ll briefly take off a device – which looks like a bathing cap – that is otherwise adhered onto his daily-shaved head for 18 or more hours every day. The 32-year-old Cleveland Heights resident, who is being treated for a form of malignant brain cancer called glioblastoma (GBM), is hopeful the device’s battery-powered electrodes will prolong his life. “Usually, I don’t even notice I have it on,” says Jon, who is also finishing up a 12- by 25-foot indoor mural, at the Music Settlement community music school’s new campus in Ohio City. “But (the device) isn’t breathable, so sometimes I have to take it off, just for a while, when I’m painting in the sun.” https://my.clevelandclinic.org/patient-stories/407-street-artist-with-brain-cancer-paints-picture-of-hope-with-new-therapy

    ^^^ Wolfman Jack?
  5. I'm looking forward to that purple fading a bit in the weather, so it's no longer so reminiscent of a 1980's Camaro IROC Z.
  6. I could be wrong, but I'm going to assume this isn't the first person that guy violently assaulted. The bigger problem is that violent sociopaths are running around society and given second, third, fourth and fifth chances to hurt more people.
  7. Agree. The courts should be within the city grid. The riverfront, just like the lakefront, should be saved for more versatile and variable 24/7 types of development.
  8. ^ They look like balconies from that view!
  9. I've seen a good deal of fans lamenting the loss of the "MACtion" televised weeknight games.
  10. The first floor of 2222 is really bad. Thankfully this kind of anti-street presence design has seemingly ended.
  11. This was a very interesting article...thanks!!

    Agree. If MLB is any indicator I'm guessing it will be impossible to stay safe for a sport that 1. is much much more contact-oriented and 2. not in a "bubble"
  13. ^ Getting a "page not found" error...it looks like an unfortunate result of Mr. Goddard's first name lol.

    Oh, wow....that was really hard to listen to. With all the trickery now available to get a singer sounding decent, it is quite shocking to hear someone so famous singing so terribly.
  15. If they paid more than $40 for that hideous racoon/hyena logo then they totally got ripped off. And note to sports owners of America, here you have more solid proof that all good team names have already been taken.
  16. ^ hahahahahahaaaahhhaaaaahahahaha

    One of the talking heads brought up a good point, the only reason this isn't catastrophic is because nobody cares about this team.

    Interesting aside, I overheard a radio show on word origins this weekend. The hosts mentioned that the dictionary definition of "Appalachian" only referred to white residents of the region. I had never heard that before. Very strange.

    Man oh man...I myself could have pretty good QB stats with those skill players!!

    Only sometimes....and once you see it you realize how crazy things like "ghost ships" and sea monsters may have gotten their origins. It's really something to witness. I have talked to Canadians that have seen Cleveland skyline and cars on the Shoreway. What weather conditions allow Northeast Ohioans to see the Canadian shoreline across Lake Erie? (video) CLEVELAND, Ohio - On special days, Northeast Ohioans at the beach can see a hazy image of land across a seemingly shrinking Lake Erie - the Canadian shoreline. But most of the time? All you see is a vast lake of blue. The strange phenomenon is due to a condition in the atmosphere called super-refraction, which bends light downward, allowing the naked eye to see far beyond the horizon. Here's how. First, let's note the Canadian shoreline is more than 50 miles away from the south shore in Ohio, so Earth's curvature prevents us from seeing anything that far away -- which is why, on most days, that northern shoreline is hidden. In order to see it, something called a temperature inversion must be in place. This is where instead of the temperature decreasing with height as you go up from the surface like on a typical day, it increases with height, inflicting density changes in the air causing sunlight to bend downward, so that far distant objects can be seen. A temperature inversion over the lake happens when the lake is still much cooler than the air above. Any air directly over the lake surface cools greatly, while the air farther above that layer remains warmer. Since warm air is less dense than cool air, the warmer air flows over the top of that shallow, cool layer, creating what meteorologists call a "cap." Light rays can bounce off that cap, reflecting back down toward the surface. That bending of the light allows us to see around the curvature of Earth, and over the horizon. https://www.cleveland.com/weather/blog/2017/08/what_weather_conditions_allow.html

    ^ that visual is very reminiscent of the "mirror effect" images when you can see buildings across the lake in Ontario, Canada from Edgewater park.
  22. For this narrow section I have proposed simply continuing the boardwalk along the front of these buildings, where the sidewalk is.
  23. I'm still a big fan of the heritage team names that may still be kicking around in one league or another.... Ft. Lauderdale Strikers Jacksonville Teamen New York Cosmos Tacoma Stars Tampa Bay Rowdies Rochester Rhinos Wichita Wings Cleveland Force Canton Invaders San Diego Sockers
