On Saturday, November 22, 2008 American citizens will join together to rally at Federal Reserve banks across the USA. Cleveland meeting location is near the FREE stamp on the corner of E. 9th and Lakeside Ave E. downtown at 12:00 noon. Our purpose is to create awareness of this private bank cartel's control over our nation's money supply and policies - policies resulting in economic crisis, credit crisis, job losses, and debt. We seek an end to the Federal Reserve System. We demand a thorough investigation, evaluation and audit of the Federal Reserve System and its cozy relationships with the banking, corporate, and other financial institutions. The arbitrary power to create money and credit out of thin air behind closed doors for the benefit of commercial interests must be ended! There should be no taxpayer bailouts of corporations and no corporate subsidies. Corporations should be aggressively prosecuted for their crimes and frauds. learn more at: End the Federal Reserve Bank!

Yes, May 2009 is correct.

Thanks for the info. In the meantime, Euclid Ave in in front of UH is really putting a hurtin on my car. I hope they get that all fixed up soon. Euclid Ave will be repaved won't it, I assume the whole way past Little Italy? As an aside, I spoke to Univ Circle Inc. today about their parking at the corner of Hessler and Ford. They said they hope to break ground for the retail/living project next May so the parking lot may not be available at that point.

Thats kind of what I thought would happen, but why not have the RTA vehicles on the interior the whole way? I do notice there is some kind of overpass somewhere near E 123rd st area, so maybe they couldn't build around that. It just seems to me that stopping traffic so RTA vehicles can go and then vice versa will probably create some kind of bottleneck. I'm not sure where this point will be as the orange barrels haven't come down yet past E 85th, but it appears it will occur somewhere near the Clinic.

It appears the terminals will be in the middle of the street from downtown out to the Clinic. But then I see the terminals on the exterior of the road starting somewhere towards case. How are these "vehicles" going to make it from the inside of the road (with cars to the outter lane) to the outer lane without running into the cars?

I couldn't find the thread on the Euclid Corridor project, but I had one question about it. It appears the terminals will be in the middle of the street from downtown out to the Clinic. But then I see the terminals on the exterior of the road starting somewhere towards case. How are these "vehicles" going to make it from the inside of the road (with cars to the outter lane) to the outer lane without running into the cars?

I just drove down Euclid since it was opened today the whole way to the Clinic. There was something that struck me from about E 55th to E 71st and it was those huge warehouse buildings that are completed abandoned. Are there any plans to remove these enormous structures? They are an eyesore to the area, and I can't imagine they would have any future use.

Just curious, does Sherwin Williams occupy all that building space between W 2nd and Ontario on your map?

Looking at your red shaded area on the first picture, I guess the Tower City site would require the outdoor parking deck between Canal Rd and Huron Rd to be removed. I was thinking the Convention Center would have to go between Canal Rd and the river because removing the deck would be quite the job and cause all sorts of parking disruptions. Although the Tower City site is more connected, I would really like the convention center and the people that go with it to be visible in the city on street level. The Tower City site is too hidden and enclosed. Chances are, a visitor passing through downtown wouldn't be able to tell you if there was a convention or not. Although the current Convention Center is "less connected", it is also more visible on a street level. Part of it does seem like its underground though from what I remember, I haven't spent a lot of time in that area. I would really like everything to be above ground in plain view of the city (sort of like the one in Pittsburgh).

There isn't much space in front of Tower City for the Convention Center. You already have Sherwin Williams there. Personally, I think the Convention Center would be better somewhere else downtown because there is a lack of visibility in front of Tower City on the river. Go to google satellite maps and look how little space you have in front of Tower City. There is the outdoor parking deck in front of it and then a surface lot on the river next to Sherwin Wiliams.

Went grocery shopping today at the Walmart in SYC. The prices are so insanely cheap. Some products were a 30% discount or higher over Dave's. Breyer's ice cream was $3.86, and not even on sale! Customer service was very friendly. Way too crowded for me though. Too many real slow people, people that stop in the middle of the aisle paying no attention to whose behind them, people that don't even move when you say excuse me. Too many bratty kids with their moms swearing and telling them to shut up and screaming at them. I'll have to try a quieter time when I go back.

I proposed that the Ohio Highway Patrol should be providing assistance to fight crime in Cleveland a few weeks ago. http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news_update/20070914_State_police_to_patrol_Philadelphia_streets.html Looks like in Philly the PA staties will be patroling the streets there given its crime problems as of late. Its time for them to step up to the plate in Ohio.

Yes, that is tacky I put my income on the messageboard. I usually type what first comes to my mind without going back and editing some. There is more than just me in my household, so my income isn't really out of the ordinary.

Well I'm not surprised to see these robberies in Tremont are being brought to the forefront again, after I mentioned the first robbery last week where I heard gunshots and a woman screaming very close to my house. Apparently, there was a second robbery which occurred over the weekend. The police should be saturating this area during the night, running undercover operations, including plain clothes officers on foot, but they do absolutely nothing (at least not that I am aware of). I never ever see them at night on the weekdays or after the bars close on the weekends. There are only a few bad applies that live in the Thurman Jefferson area (who I wouldn't doubt are collaborating with W 28th projects as suggested on the tremonter), and they can't control that? What happens when the residents of Valley View move in and these criminals start collaborating with those residents (teenagers moving in) in committing crimes? Its such an easy problem to solve, yet there is no action. It is such a small small area with respect to all the good parts of Tremont. What is further disturbing was that robberies happened in the same spot in two consecutive weekends. I was not around this past weekend during the robbery which happened the night of the 25th, which apparently was more serious than the weekend before. Why would you think these people on tremonter have alterior motives? One of them was a victim of a robbery for crying out loud! What does anonymous posting have to do with it? Do you think someone is coming on the message board and making stuff up? I have lived in many many different urban areas, some of which were downright scary, but the level of inactivity by city council and the police is downright disgusting. At least where I lived previously in the one neighborhood in another city, the police were always blaring by, making arrests, chasing people on foot, etc, etc. Coincidentally, crime in that district since i moved from there in 2003 has plunged by 50%... Also posted on the tremonter...all the new real estate on cityview drive and on the lower end of w 6th is a looming disaster. I have been tracking every one of those properties (many of which are in the 300-400K range) and not one of them has sold in the last 5 months, which was prime buying time. have any even sold since they were put on the market? No doubt developers are panicing as they will have to take serious losses on these new developments. And what happens when Valley view opens? The residents moving in have to have criminal background checks, but often enough teenagers committing crimes don't have criminal backgrounds as of yet. As their teenagers age another year or two, crime will increase. I understand that the vast majority of these people are good hardworking people, but it only takes 3, 4, or 5 bad apples to turn a small area like tremont into yet another ghosttown.

I posted that comment from Cleveland.com because I thought it was an interesting read. I agree with some parts, but not all. And no, I am not Arby.
