This is what you're looking for: https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Hudson/FullOnCVNP They are in the 5th year of doing this. I did it I think the first year, which was the first winter of COVID. It was an awesome thing to do especially back then when we were still isolating so much. I also recommend it because they specifically look to hike 99% of the trails so they'll use trail connectors to combine trails that you might not otherwise do together. For example, when I did Ledges, I think it was like 7 miles because we started at the Kendall Lake parking lot whereas most people would just park at the Ledges parking and do like 3 miles from there. If you didn't want to sign up for this let me know, I could email you the old route guide that was sent to me, though trails do get slight modifications over time. Sign up for AllTrails if you haven't already. Best way to track.

Are you sure that's right? I think that might be beauty supply store (formerly loanmax) which is a separate building from the beauty supply and vet space.

If looking for car camping, there are a few sites at Heritage Farms, which is adjacent to CVNP. They are walk in sites and the sites are relatively far apart, which is nice.

Is Karrie Howard on Bibb’s left or to the left of Bibb?

i don’t think you got this caption right cleveland.com

It really does feel like it's moving slow. No, that lot at the corner of Coventry and Cedar is owned by the city. I drive by the Medusa building often - I love that building and was inside it a few years back. Would be a cool mid-century modern reno.

Mandel and authentic should never be in the same sentence

@cityEscapeThere's a facebook group called BuildCLM and someone asked about how they can get a sign? Any plans to get more? I'd be willing to contribute to the cost.

IMG_5297.MOV Had to get something from Steelyard Home Depot. Used Waze to see if it would take me using it from CH and it did. Here’s a time lapse of the way back.

This looks like a perfect spot for the park that people want as, unless I'm mistaken, that area is not part of the proposed development.

Hopes for Horseshoe Lake remain drained in sewer district dam assessment https://www.cleveland.com/community/2021/06/hopes-for-horseshoe-lake-remain-drained-in-sewer-district-dam-assessment.html It seems crazy to me that after 170 years(!!), they're just like, "eh, we're gonna get rid of Horseshoe lake for a couple streams." Further crazy that it's been drained for 3 years and they're saying it'll be 2024 (let's be real, 2025) until anything is done here. And these costs seem absurd to replace a dam. We're not talking Hoover dam here.

I've heard this mentioned before. I'm certainly no lawyer and I know you are, but I find this hard to believe. As a homeowner, aren't I assuming a responsibility for the condition of my property regardless of whether I shovel snow or not? If someone trips over an exposed tree root and breaks an arm on my property, I wouldn't say "not my fault, I didn't try to trim it back, so nothing I could do about it."

Why do marketing options for Spiders suck? I'm 100% all in on Spiders. I think it sounds great and it's a scary animal! I completely hate guardians and would hate to have to explain to people for the next 10 years what it means... "see we have this bridge and there's these stone figures on it...."

That's good question. I can't answer as we are generally looking in the S and UH. And yeah, Hudson and Chagrin Falls have both been popular for a while and certainly Lakewood. But while Lakewood had been booming the past several years CH seemed to be humming along as normal. But I've never seen this amount of activity that you have multiples, often above ask. I know of someone getting 16% above ask. So this is all anecdotal my pure speculation on why CH is that interest rates are low, supply is low (I guess??), and maybe bigger is the ability (though getting much harder) to get a quality home for $150k or less close to downtown / university circle. In a pandemic no less!

Residential real estate in C.H. right now is insane. I can’t speak to high priced properties but I’m licensed (just on the side from reg job, so do very few transactions) and helping my cousin buy a house and good houses under $200k are going instantly with multiple offers often selling for more than ask. I know Lakewood was like that a few years ago but I don’t think C.H. was. But is now and I’m actually pretty surprised it’s as active as it is especially with COVID. I’ve never seen C.H. as much of a seller’s market as it is right now.

Bump for OG Robert Pence

thanks for letting me know troll

Nope. It's called a joke......

My CLF stock certainly ain't growing today......

There's an article on Costar.com titled "Macy’s Hints at More Closings After Holidays" and in particular that sales at lower-tier malls lower than expected in Q3. I haven't been to this Macy's in a while, but it's certainly a lower tier mall and there is a lot of competition in the area. Hopefully they are doing OK here, but wouldn't bet on it.

^ https://www.cleveland.com/community/2019/06/cleveland-heights-turns-over-small-city-parking-lot-for-expansion-to-aid-top-of-hill-construction-schedule.html ^^ Generally I agree with @Htsguy, but I am OK with adding retail at Cedar/Fairmount and the Lee/Meadowbrook lots as it is filling in gaps in strong existing districts. Severance should be redeveloped, but we don't need to create a new retail district. If not all residential, the challenge with bringing non-retail commercial to the site is on the one hand the one thing I like about C.H. but bad for business attraction - our lack of highway access. Some other thoughts I have on C.H. The former Coventry school was sold to the library for $1 who now lease it out to non-profits and other users. I'm all for having a non-profit center in the city, but frankly that shouldn't be the location. We are essentially subsidizing the non-profits by getting no taxes on that property. It's valuable land in that location. I'm all for subsidizing non-profits, just not there. The city owns 1 of the tudor buildings on S Taylor N of Cain Park and will acquire the other 2 due to back taxes (I think). These building have functionally obsolete retail. This retail should be repurposed as a non-profit center for the city.

Have to take a ferry, but also Kelleys Island has sites on the water.

Camped last Wednesday night. Was going to go to Mohican, but the river level was too high for tubing, so stayed closer to home. Went here instead, adjacent to CVNP. http://heritagefarms.com/campsites Pretty nice spot close to Cleveland. The guy told me his family has had the land for about 170 years I think. The Park asked them about 4 years ago to offer camping as there aren't enough sites in the Park. Surprisingly, only 3 sites we occupied.
