Just in time for Christmas!

Is the bendy straw gone from Goodale park? That thing looks idiotic.

Haha, the grin on his face the entire time was great!

I shop at Aldi too. I use a laundry bag for my groceries. I think that's pretty trendy.

Yep, the good ole y chromosome really kicks men in the butt on this topic. It carries little genetics for color vision. Therefore guys have to hope their X chromosome has no mutations in the color department. If it does, you’ve got some color blindness. In fact many women are able to see shades of color on the red side of the color spectrum that no men are able to see. I forget what it’s called but it’s a trait that only exists if the gene is present in both chromosomes. Since it only occurs on the x chromosome, only women have the ability to get it.

^ I hope so too. I have a hard time believe Jacobs would hold on to this property for this long only to build something underwhelming. It stinks that it's a parking lot, but that is property that shouldn't be touched until a worthy project is proposed for it.

^ It’s always cool to see your city in movies and videos and such. Seeing that video with Cincinnati reminded me of a video from a particular band that I’d have never expected to see Cleveland. This is a Laibach video where they obviously decided to do some filming as they were touring the States. It actually has a pretty cool mix of urban shots from the US and Europe. I’m sure the music won’t be to everyone’s taste though. How many shots of Cleveland can you count? There are quite a few. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuGf6PykkCM&hl=en&fs=1

^ Must be because all the white people around here enjoy seeing offensive statements directed at white people.

As renderings continue to change, I’m liking this less and less. Some of the buildings really look like they belong in the suburbs, especially the proposed building for Eaton.

I’m writing in my vote. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEzh10_xoqw&rel=1

I’d be careful using sarcasm. There are people that frown upon it here.

Dike 14 has seemed like a waste from the start in my opinion. Why add land to your shoreline just to turn it into a grassy meadow. In my mind this project is a bust whether it happens or not.

Animals are great! I saw this video on youtube a couple weeks ago. I've always thought the stigma around pitt bulls has more to do with mean owners than mean dogs. I certainly wouldn't say they're cutest dogs around or anything, but can't believe how people mistreat them or any animals for that matter. Anyway, good story. That dog deserved some love before it died. [youtube=425,350]m2OC5Z1Fii8

Only once, several years ago when I was in college. It was a few days before Christmas and I was walking up High Street in Columbus. The streets were pretty empty because students had gone home for the break. I was feeling the holiday spirit and a Vietnam Vet (at least he claimed to be) asked for some money to get something to eat. I dug in my pockets and handed him the loose change I had which was probably 80 or 90 cents. So then he started cussing me out because apparently what I gave him was an insult. I cussed back at him and turned to go on my way. As I did he followed me for about a block challenging me to fight. That was definitely the last time I’ll ever do that.
