Is that address correct? On Google maps, that block is full of houses. The Salvation Army is located between E. 176th and E. 177th... is it possible that a couple digits got inverted (i.e., 17625 Grovewood?)

The former address corresponds to 1134 St. Clair Ave., NE (which is part of the site of the current Galleria/Erieview.) Check out p. 12 of this book: http://cplorg.cdmhost.com/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p128201coll0/id/942/show/387

The problem is pretty much every suburb thinks it's a special little snowflake, so most suburbs are blind to how similar they really are to their neighbors.

Nobody here is saying it was an officer screw up. What's with the impulsive blaming of the kid and his parents, though? I'm sorry, but that's just as myopic as reflexively blaming the officer would be. None of us were there, and we don't know exactly what happened. In fact, all we know is that this is a tragedy, and all of this speculation about what this kid was thinking doesn't help anyone. And speaking of tragedies, SEVEN people were killed on the east side this weekend in circumstances that are far more common in Cleveland than police shootings. At the core of all of these shootings is a culture that condones violence as a means for resolving conflict. It's not nearly as convenient to protest or hold individuals accountable for, but it's a serious issue that nobody seems to be able to address.

As a Tremont resident, not at all. A ton of people use(d) Columbus to cut through the Flats into Downtown, or to cut up Franklin and avoid the W. 25th/Lorain intersection

That's exactly the same thing they did when they closed the Warehouse District location a few years ago

I think this is the salient point. How much manufacturing does US Steel do at its namesake tower in downtown Pittsburgh? And did Sohio/BP America do any refining on Public Square? The marketers, accountants, analysts, CEO etc. don't need to be anywhere near a plant. Fwiw, though, Sherwin-Williams does some (but far from all) of its R&D downtown, but those facilities are in the Flats rather than up the hill in the Landmark Office Towers.

Now that feels nice! :clap:

W. 65th actually did spur TOD- in the 90s, the EcoVillage townhomes were specifically built with the idea that residents would use the red line. To be fair, they're not the highest-density and I don't think the development was ever entirely built out as planned, but they certainly qualify.

Musky, is this the one? http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,28822.msg729863.html#msg729863

The Diane Rehm Show (NPR) gave a shout out to the Cleveland-Europe Express this morning, pointing to it as an example of local economies helping themselves in spite of economic policy gridlock on a national level. The guest who brought it up (whose name escapes me) mentioned that the Port was dredging the shipping channel deeper to accommodate ocean-going vessels. I was under the impression that this is not actually the case, but I was wondering if anyone here could confirm it.

The Cleveland Heights police department has a history of misreporting and downplaying crime that occurs in the city. I'd take their statistics with as big a grain of salt as any other source. That said, I really doubt CH has that much more crime than other comparable east side suburbs. I'm inclined to agree with others on here who have pointed to both the "click bait" nature of those stories and cle.com's increased scrutiny of crime in Cleveland Heights owing to the aforementioned problems with their police reporting.

I think 925 Euclid is kind of a long shot, but mostly because the law authorizing the $25 million tax credits was written specifically with the May Co. building in mind.

More accurately, it's right next to CMHA's Tremont Pointe development

It's actually lit with neon lights at night, and it looks really cool in person.

I know that land is/was a brownfield, and I'm not sure to what degree it's been remediated. Also, fwiw, the City was considering relocating the dog kennel to that site, although there hasn't been movement in a year (and see the linked story to Jay Westbrook's response): http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/08/_animals_in_the_news_44.html ETA- I agree, though, that higher density housing on that site would be fantastic, and I hope that spillover from Detroit-Shoreway and Edgewater will make it happen sooner than later

Am I seeing things, or does page 9 of the brochure show a tower on 515 Euclid?

Are there any remaining historic buildings that can be torn down to provide a site for this school?

Haha winterton, you passed me on the street while I was on the phone with the city about this! I saw you snap a couple pictures and figured it had to be someone from UO!

I haven't been following this story that closely, and my professional background is with federal and state agencies. But thanks for the information. 15 ng/mL is appropriate for confirmatory testing, but not for a screen, IMO. I feel bad for the guy, especially because chronic users frequently continue to excrete low levels of THC metabolites (below 20 ng/mL) for a significant time even after they stop using.

It would be extremely unusual. Even though mass spectrometry is an incredibly sensitive technique, for cost and several other reasons, it's used most often for confirmation after a specimen has given a positive hit in a cheaper/faster screen (frequently immunoassay, e.g. ELISA.) Organizations generally establish sensitivity cutoffs based on the physical limitations of the instrumentation or analytical method and to avoid problems with false positives or claims of passive exposure. For example, most federal agencies use the 50 ng/mL limit mentioned above. I don't know the specifics of the NFL's testing program, but it would surprise me if they didn't do the same. ETA- Ps, sorry for the slow reply... I'm on the road this week and haven't been able to spend much time online

Just a couple of notes- ELISA is NOT synonymous with "hair test." ELISA is an immunoassay technique that can be adapted for use with a variety of biological samples. Blood, urine, and saliva are most common. ELISA is also not generally used to quantify how much of a drug is in a sample; rather, GC-MS or LC-MS is preferred. The compound being detected is also important. THC, the parent compound, can be detected in hair, but is not generally present in urine. It can be passively absorbed by hair and clothing from second-hand smoke. 9-carboxy-THC is the primary metabolite of THC, and is only produced in detectable quantities if an individual has inhaled or ingested THC. It's not detected if someone has only been exposed to second-hand smoke. As far as hair testing goes, it's not nearly as developed as blood or urine testing. However, it's correct that hair can provide insight on drug use over a period of months versus hours (blood) or days (urine,) and it's less invasive. Drawbacks include lower sensitivity, and the need to sample approximately the half-inch of hair closest to the scalp (which corresponds to the last month of growth.) For people with close-cropped or shaved scalps, it will be necessary to pluck kind of a lot of hair from less pleasant areas, like the beard, armpits, or pubic area.

That's a fairly standard cutoff. Depending on the analytical technique being used, 16 ng/mL could be close to the limit of quantification (I'm assuming they use an immunoassay screen, but I don't know if they follow up with GC/MS or what system the lab uses.)

Man, I'm so excited for Detroit Avenue. 6 stories with ground-floor retail? Can we just hit copy and paste all the way down to about W. 54th?

I love Titus Quinctius Atta's used toga shop down on Lorain, and I always tell my friends to get their chariot wheels fixed at Lucius Afranius' Chariot Emporium and Circus!
