Haha. Freudian slip.

Something like the HM sign (Conde Nast building NYC) with the SW logo could look really iconic.

Unfair and incorrect? This is what Euclid Beach did and should look like.

Yes, thanks. I have seen it. While I'm ecstatic the issue has finally gotten needed attention, I think that the plan relies far too much on armoring the shoreline. I'm skeptical about the value of those pocket beaches among all of those rock jetties as these erosion control structures create dangerous and unpredictable currents. The choice has been made to preserve the land at the expense of the natural sand beaches that are supposed to be there. It may be that there just isn't the money or the political will or enough cooperative effort to get back to where we were. But this armoring, once completed, is the decision we have to live with for the next hundred years. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/shoreline-armoring.html Shoreline armoring has both beneficial and detrimental effects. Armored shorelines can prevent sandy beaches, wetlands, and other intertidal areas from moving inland as the land erodes or sea levels rise, but they also have the potential to eliminate habitat for marine organisms and beach front for the public by restricting the natural movement of sediments. The key to shoreline stabilization, if it is required, is to use a site-specific stabilization method that balances the needs of the public and the needs of the natural system.

Okay. Here's all I'll say for the time being. The vast majority of erosion issues in Ohio - and really everywhere - is building too close to the water. Beaches are the product of erosion, and stopping erosion destroys beaches. Re-naturalizing the shoreline is the proper way to go, not armoring it with more cement, rocks and rebar.

Okay then. Until they hire consultants who know what the heck they're doing then this plan is not a good one.

What is TLCI?

Debbie Downer here. I'm almost as worried as I am optimistic about these efforts. But my main concern is that this plan will exacerbate the erosion problem, as many ill advised attempts at erosion-control have done before. I'd very much like to hear word that the best coastal engineers in the country will be consulting. There's just no reason to believe that the county engineer and the dreaded Army Corps of Engineers has the necessary experience to get this right on their own.

What percentage of SW employees even need to travel extensively? The higher ups already have Burke. And seriously, if Atlanta was marking a play someone, somewhere would have heard something about incentives. Crickets.

7 songs in the top 100? Im honestly surprised. As someone who didnt grow up in Ohio and religiously listened to radio & American Top 40, I’d only heard “He Can’t Love You.” This could get me banned from the thread, but I’d say arch nemesis Donnie Iris has a leg up on Michael Stanley. “Leah” and “Love is like a rock” got a lot more airplay.

^ I would bet that Devo’s “Whip it” wasn’t far behind! Funny that MSB’s biggest (only?) hit song wasn’t sang by Michael Stanley.

This isn't too far away...the storied Loews Jersey Theatre.

Well we lost the incredible Fat Fish Blue for that stupid Tilted Kilt. That's pretty bad precedent there.

Glazen mentioned a new location. That's great. There really is plenty of space in CLE. Though it's probably unlikely that the ambiance of the place can be easily replicated. One thing I loved about Ontario was it was one of the few places where the crowd was mixed, white and black. I can only think of a few other bars/restaurants that can say the same.

^ May not mean much, but I couldn't help but notice that KJP used "site" in the singular, and not "sites."

Wow. So late in the project. These had to be some of the last steel beams, right?

This sucks.

^ Very bad feng shui

Okay, I’m a little tipsy so I’m not sure, but was Freddy Kitchens sobbing uncontrollably during the post game interview? This team is the most penalized team in the NFL. Freddie, get a hold of things now or next year you’re gonna be bagging groceries in Arkansas or wherever the hell youre from.

I’m going to circulate a petition to change Browns nationally televised games to Outdoor Life Network or ESPN 8 “the Ocho.” Its really not so great having everyone laughing at the Cleveland Browns tonight.

Lesson here seems to be: you can not criticize thin-skinned China. Nets owner Joe Tsai weighs in on Rockets GM Daryl Morey’s tweet backing Hong Kong protesters By Yaron Steinbuch October 7, 2019 Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai says the damage from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey’s tweet showing support for pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong “will take a long time to repair.” Tsai, co-founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, said in an open letter posted on his Facebook page that he felt the need to address the matter as someone who had spent his professional life in China. “When I bought controlling interest in the Brooklyn Nets in September, I didn’t expect my first public communication with our fans would be to comment on something as politically charged and grossly misunderstood as the way hundreds of millions of Chinese NBA fans feel about what just happened,” Tsai wrote. On Friday, Morey tweeted a shout-out to protesters in Hong Kong. “Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong,” Morey wrote in the now-deleted tweet. The Chinese Basketball Association fired back its “strong opposition” to Morey’s “improper remarks regarding Hong Kong.” https://nypost.com/2019/10/07/nets-owner-joe-tsai-rips-rockets-gm-daryl-morey-for-supporting-hong-kong-demonstrators/

Former NBA coach Blatt leaves Olympiakos Piraeus (Greece) (AFP) - Olympiakos announced Sunday the departure of former Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt, who in August revealed his diagnosis with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). "It is a difficult moment for everyone since we part ways with a great coach but most of all a wonderful person," the Greek basketball club said. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/former-nba-coach-blatt-leaves-olympiakos-170403922--nba.html

I was actually wondering about the same thing.

^ it would be fun to be working in downtown CLE and order an authentic Chicago deep dish pizza for delivery.

That Phase II plan had a certain grandeur to it. I wonder if they've been using that vision for inspiration.
