    You can take hi-def video with many phones now, but the built-in video editing may give the iPhone a leg up until someone makes a good video editor for Android (unless there is one out already, I don't do much with videos).

    Do they claim only an iPhone can do that? :roll:
  3. Who said 50 mph is good? I'm just saying that the fact that they won't lower the speed limit shouldn't be a roadblock to this project moving forward.
  4. Who's to say this even reduces incidents with pedestrians? Maybe more pedestrians will get hit buy other cars because they're paying attention to the annoying busses. Besides, we're talking about something that happens very infrequently. Do we need to equip all cars with devices that make annoying noises, too?
  5. If we want the busses to be shorter and more to the point in their announcements, they might as well just yell "Get the f@#k outta the way!"
  6. After reviewing most of the presentation, I now don't understand even more why this can't move forward if the speed limit must stay at 50 MPH.

    My friend texted me last night that a deer ran right by him on Clinton in O/C last night. Invasion of the urban deer?

    Warm it up Kris.

    Press the minus button on the top right.
  10. Yeah, I don't understand this. I would like to see the speed limit lowered as well, but I don't understand why intersections couldn't be added if the speed limit must remain at 50 MPH. SR 91 through Eastlake is a 50 MPH divided road with plenty of intersections.
  11. Jerry, I think much of what people complain about is just whining for the sake of whining and you made many good points in your reply at the top of this page, but I completely agree with everyone here about the bus turning announcements. They are completely pointless and (especially around Public Square) you hear so much of them that you quickly learn to tune them out and they don't end up preventing anything anyway. All they do is add a bunch of noise to the urban landscape.
  12. I've been to Latitude only once (for breakfast) but I wasn't too impressed with their food. Maybe I need to give it another shot.

    It is collapsible.
  14. I didn't see him bobble the ball in the replay.

    I love it. It's like a throw back to an AOL chatroom. LOL Except without all the 50 year old guys posing as 18 year old girls (so far).

    The area around Federal Knitting Mills isn't too gentrified.
  19. Which is not exactly a good thing for an area with a fair amount of reported crime. Again, I am not saying that I consider the Harp to necessarily be in a bad neighborhood. I just find it surprising that everyone assumes Grovewood is in a bad neighborhood but assumes that it's fine around the Harp. There is a definite westside bias around here.
  20. Actually, that area is fairly uneventful. "Uneventful" is subjective. To me I wouldn't consider it bad, but then again I wouldn't consider the Grovewood Tavern area to be bad either. EDIT: Checking crimereports.com confirms my instincts...multiple robberies in the last 2 weeks in the area around the Harp (what the crimereports.com screen shows in default zoom after search, about a 1 mile radius), including one right at the corner of W. 45th and Detroit last Tuesday at 8:50 PM, and a couple Assault with Deadly Weapon reports, and a few thefts. Only one robbery in the area of the Grovewood Tavern reported in the last two weeks, and it was 11 blocks away, one theft, and almost every assault is domestic violence or menacing.
  21. I found it interesting that people consider Grovewood Tavern to be in a "bad neighborhood". I guess it's not the greatest, but it's not in the bottom half of neighborhoods in Cleveland, either. I also like to eat at the Harp, and I consider that neighborhood to be as bad or worse than North Collinwood, although I fully expect many people here to disagree simply due to the fact that it is on the West Side and close to Ohio City and Detroit-Shoreway. Then again, maybe my perception of North Collinwood is off.
  22. They build the cost of your "free meal" into the price of each meal you pay for. Why stop at refusing the card? You could just pay them $20 for each $5 meal you purchase if you really want to see them profit that badly.
  23. It's moving to the old Swingo's on the Lake location, but I'm pretty sure that's not happening until summer and that they are still open on Detroit.
