Chinatown is sort of a sleeper district, in my opinion. It's always extremely busy but I'd say 90% of the people who frequent it are Asian immigrants and there are very few suburban visiter types like you see in Little Italy or Ohio City. It's a heck of a lot more than just a few Chinese takeout places, although a lot of people would never realise it. There are bakeries, hairsalons, grocery stores, drycleaners, restaurants, merchandise stores, all owned, operated, advertised toward and utilised by Asian immigrants.

And it's not even downtown.

I know I'd love it if the city promoted racial stereotypes :P race huh wha? those are very popular chinese movie stars. you went over my head like a crouching tiger hidden dragon character - woosh! Martial arts stars are not exactly the epitome of Asian culture, despite what most of the media portrays. I mean it's kind of like assuming the ladies who work in Koko's Bakery go around playing Pokemon, karate chopping people and eating dog after they get off work :bang:

I know I'd love it if the city promoted racial stereotypes :P

I like the gate idea. I've seen gates used in Washington D.C. and San Francisco's Chinatowns and they unify and define the area better, which is something our Chinatown needs badly. Can you imagine this in the middle of Payne? I'm also in favour of anything that is not "Chinatown". Giving it that name would just generate unfair comparisons between Cleveland and other cities and discourage Asians of other nationalities.

My other hometown is bring teh sexy back:P

It's what EVERYONE needs :'( It makes me so sad that the closest Sonic to Cleveland are in Nelsonville.

Near East Side and University Circle are the ones that currently have the most potential, but I think the Near East Side will see a much bigger leap in the future.

Taco Bell on Court Street is already the world's biggest TB, why are they opening another? People can't get enough grade-D meat?

^^SRSLY ~*~SAVE TEH TOWERZ~*~

Haha I WISH.

I know. Is there even LIFE after age 30??? :? :lol:

Haha, I know, I was thinking the same thing. I'll be nearly 30 :-o

Thank God. I visited there a long time ago when considering college and ONU had the absolute worst dorms I'd ever seen. It was just a really big, long connected building that housed ALL of their undergrads. It was cramped and poorly designed, and needless to say, I didn't go there.

Cuyahoga County Cleveland Parma Seven Hills North Royalton Bedford Summit County Akron Portage County Ravenna Kent Lorain County Columbia Station Haha, that list makes my family sound extremely trashy :-o

I'm currently a sophomore journalism major at University of Hawai'i at Manoa. I'm also minoring in Japanese. Even though it's a good 3 years away, I plan on going to graduate school for mass communications. I went to OU for a year and a quarter and absolutely hated it, despite its journalism reputation. Too near West Virginia/far away from anything/drunk for me :\

I was the one who told you that, stfu. Don't be jealous of the fine ladies in the 808: I've lived here on and off, but I go to school at UHM now.

I don't have a subscription. GOP convention???

I'm joking! Cuz I love ColDayMan <3 The ones in Waikiki are, yes, not the ones in Honolulu.

??? > :'(

I've been waiting for you to start claiming Columbus was better than random world cities, just to see how delusional you actually are :lol:

Yoshinoba is one word. >>> But I still <3 you, ColDayMan. Mmm.

Utada Hikaru has the highest income of anyone in Japan. What are you talking about? And why are you crazy? :drunk:
