There are many great things about Lakewood, but I'm not convinced they're headed in the right direction in terms of urban development, either. They tore down a historic movie theater for a McDonald's and now want to tear down another.

Oh, OK, thanks. I assume that would include IHOP then?

Severance Towne Center consists of 53.06 acres and they are paying $2.2m per year in property taxes. Not sure how that compares to the other business districts. 53.06 acres sounds low. Are you including the parking lots and outparcels?

If this is "Glitzy" then a word does not exist for a building like MOCA. That wouldn't even be glitzy in Landerhaven.

Myxx. Did city council shut it down o a lack of revenue? I never saw more than about 3 people in there, even on a Saturday night. Also, wasn't it Platinum Dreams that got shut down before Melt moved in?

I wasn't arguing with your point, just correcting the locations.

1st and 10. Down 7 at the time. 5 min left. Their half of the field.

FWIW, these happened all throughout Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights (Lee and Fernway, Onaway and Van Aken, CH-UH library on Lee, Powell and Antisdale near Cain Park, the Coventry Peace Park, some other location not mentioned, and a seventh I'm forgetting the location of).

OK, I was probably being overdramatic. But I still think he might be the worst. Our ability to win with a QB who couldn't play anywhere else (Hoyer) shows that this isn't really a bad team. We just have a bad QB in Weeden.

I think we can easily say Weeden is the worst quarterback in the league. Good arm strength, average accuracy, bad feet, awful pocket presence, and now we can add TERRIBLE decision making to that list.

Looks like it was a drug overdose per cleveland.com.

In what-exists-on-the-south-side-of-cedar terms. There's no 60-story condo towers with grocery stores over there, are there? Then why the Manhattanist hyperbole? I'm pretty sure he's saying it would be considered high density here, especially when compared to what exists south of Cedar.

The house next to it was for sale for a long time. I actually looked at it a couple years ago. Although architecturally a very interesting place, it was in horrible disrepair and needed a ton of work to get it even livable (like burst pipes leaking had put holes in the ceiling, plaster peeled off the walls everywhere, stucco falling off the outside, etc.). I noticed that someone finally bought it a few months ago, so I wonder if they're planning on restoring it. The house next to it (on the other side) looked to be lived in by a family and I believe it still is. The blue house on the corner which is being demoed must have been in foreclosure at the time I looked at the one next to it because I remember seeing people in it but not knowing what was going on (it seemed to me that they might have been fixing it up). Soon after, CWRU bought it in a Sheriff's Sale apparently.

Shefner still said a trade was "highly unlikely", right?

That's not really true. I am familiar with Greensboro as well and know a firefighter there. For a smaller city, they have areas of "inner city" on the south and east sides similar to many northern cities, just on a smaller scale since it's a smaller city. http://goo.gl/maps/t6lKU http://goo.gl/maps/UHkaU Besides, it's all relative. Cleveland's inner city would be considered sprawling to someone from NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, or Baltimore. That's not too say that Greensboro doesn't have plenty of sprawl. It has a ton. And some of that sprawl does have a high crime rate. But they do have plenty of inner city problems as well.

:lol: :lol: Funny because it was probably about to happen.

That's what I'm guessing they'll do. It will seem funny then to have signage for SR 10 guiding you from Progressive Field south on I-77 then west on the Opportunity Corridor to get to University Circle. Regardless of how fast you can travel down the OC, I can't imagine that could ever compete with just continuing down Carnegie from that point.

Agree. Also, the random words at the top of the building are cheesy as well. It reminds me of one of those fake Irish pubs, like Claddagh.

there won't be a direct connection to Route 10 They need to designate it so it will qualify for State + federal repair funding which BTW still has a substantial local match. Yeah, but to designate it an "extension of Route 10" I'm pretty sure it has to "connect" somehow, even if that connection means routing along other existing routes such as I-77. Couldn't they have just given it a new State Route number, like SR 490?

Do you know when Bar 145 is supposed to open? I have been to the one in Toledo and it is pretty good.

I have now twice seen references to the Opportunity Corridor being an extension of SR 10. How is this possible? SR 10 currently terminates at "the corner of Carnegie and Ontario." Are they going to reroute SR 10 down I-90/I-490 from where Lorain crosses it, or are they going to have it go down I-77 from Carnegie and Ontario, or is this just wrong?

Hoyer's brain, feet, pocket presence, touch, and accuracy combined with Weeden's arm strength would make a very good quarterback. Given that we can't do that, I'd take Hoyer and his lack of arm strength any day over Weeden and his lack of many things a good quarterback needs to have.

I even know people from Geauga County who use the Green Rd. park-n-ride, if that tells you anything about its perceived safety. I'm assuming you forgot about the Blue/Green lines though.

What? Every time I have tailgated, I have ridden the rapid down. And plenty of other people get off at the Muni Lot stop as well.

9 hits and 0 runs? Glad I shut it off and started watching The Wire after the 5th.
