    1 2 1 Fitness in University Circle has a running club, and I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a member of the gym to participate.
  2. So this is what is in store for us with the newly elected mayor? I wasn't impressed with her suggestions for the city while she was running and I'm surely not impressed with this move. Can't wait for the whirly-ball to go in where Tops used to be! Yes, this is a very wide lot for a McDonald's. Also, I don't see it being deep enough. I don't see it fitting right unless they are going to site it facing Bushnell or Lansdale, which I highly doubt would be allowed (who knows with this new "leadership", though). Also, I consider Boston Market to be fast food.

    I would definitely suggest Lakewood, especially if you want to meet people. There should be plenty of nice rentals there in your price range, you'll be close to the lake and many bars and restaurants, and have very short work commutes.

    Chippewa Square, although the bench was placed there just for the movie (there are benches facing inwards on that square, but none on the outside facing outwards). I have been to Savannah three times and love it. It really is a great city.
  6. I don't think CH needs to make any street improvements. Yes, things will be a bit slower, but I can't imagine it will turn into a gridlock. As far as parking, I agree it seems like it would be an issue, but I think Melt will utilize the parking lot behind them as well as maybe the lot catty-corner (sp?) to them. Do you ever drive on Cedar Rd. through the Taylor Rd. intersection?!?!? It's an absolute nightmare since there is no left turn lane, and cars are allowed to park in the right hand lane. Either you get stuck in the left lane behind someone waiting to turn, or you get stuck in the right lane behind parked cars. This is just going to make things even more awful. I used to do it every day after work when I worked on Lander. I guess you are right it can be a mess, however, I am one of those agressive drivers that fly up on the right and go around the drivers turning left before I hit a parked car. It wouldn't hurt to add turning lanes, but is there enough room? I think the traffic would be better if they made it one lane each way through the intersection with a turning lane. Also, I think the problem is overblown. I go through there often at busy times when left turns are allowed and have never had to sit through more than 2 traffic light cycles, even when I'm not driving aggressively. The biggest problem with those intersections along Cedar is when two people facing each other are turning left; it's impossible to see around the other left-turner to see if cars are coming through the right lane. This is even more of a problem at the Lee Rd. intersection.
  7. Or that zoning is the only variable which differs in determining development along the two streets? Or even that the type of development along Peachtree Street is such a lofty goal? (I see it as a wide highway through a skyscraper canyon, with little street activity, especially around Buckhead.)

    No love for 76 or 77? Don't you live in Akron?
  9. Which Pizza Pan? 18th and Euclid probably.

    MTS is placed on administrative leave for 3 days, take a free spin.

  12. I'll wait for the 4 for 1 deals.
  13. Awesome job bringing the Flaming Ice Cube to downtown Cleveland, EC!
  14. I haven't heard much about this in the last year, but if it is open through the park district, I think it would be an ideal area: http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/science/stories/2009/01/20/sci_nightsky_geauga.ART_ART_01-20-09_B4_FSCHQ09.html

    I have not used the N900, but would like to play around with it some time. I have used the iPhone/iPod Touch extensively and currently own the Motorola Droid. There is no doubt that the Droid blows away the iPhone in every way except maybe the slickness of the UI. (Can anybody ever beat Apple in that regards?) Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to capacitive touch screens and my experiences with resistive touch screens (LG Voyager, LG enV Touch, and older Palm devices) were terrible, but I just can't imagine a resistive touch screen working as well as a capacitive touch screen. I love to be able to flick with a feather of a touch. There's no way even the best resistive screens can provide this experience. Maybe there are other ways in which a resistive touch screen makes the experience better, but I don't know what they would be. What is it that you like about the N900's resistive touch screen? I don't know too much else about the OS or apps for the N900, but it does look like a great phone from what I've seen.
  16. Both the W. 9th and E. 9th Phoenix Coffee locations serve bubble tea.
  17. A wine bar sounds cool, but when I saw "Taost" I got excited thinking maybe Chicago's Lincoln Park breakfast establishment off Halstead might be expanding to D-S. :)
  18. They sell Indigo Imp 6 packs at Heinens.
  19. About 7000 Euclid.
  20. Too bad it didn't open in time for Joakim Noah to have a restaurant he can go to.

    Those people are talking about long-haul Amtrak trains, not light rail commuter trains. There's a little difference there.

    I have heard more than a few people say that. Do you know of any places that do serve good, authentic Greek food around Cleveland?

    Also on Coventry are Mint Cafe (IMO much better than Lemon Grass for Asian/Thai food) and Tree Country Bistro (which in addition to sushi/Japanese they serve some authentic Korean dishes).
