yep :) Funny, I had the same thought. Kind of similar to cool the name of "Frogtown" in St. Paul Minnesota.

Another very cool article...definitely like the comments at the bottom (I think he has one major typo...let me know when/if you see it): http://travelsofadam.com/2013/01/exploring-clevelands-hipster-hotspots/

^ Good article to have published for all the student body to see: http://www.thecwruobserver.com/letter-to-the-editor-8/

I've been to Mike's Pastries...had to wait in line, but the place was great! :) OK, that is a softball question about the cannoli's...two recommendations: 1) Corbo's Bakery http://www.yelp.com/biz/corbos-bakery-cleveland 2) Presti's Bakery http://www.yelp.com/biz/prestis-bakery-cleveland For everything else besides cannoli's and cassata cake, I always go with Presti's. Corbo's kicks butt with those two items though. Mario Batali likes Corbo's http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2007-10-04-little-italy_N.htm

Welcome to Cleveland! Not sure about parking, but I'd personally recommend three places that are all brand new units: Downtown: Rosetta Lofts http://www.east4thstreet.com/live/new-the-lofts-at-rosetta-center University Circle: Uptown Apartments http://uptowncleveland.com/ University Circle: Hazel 8 http://www.hazel8.com/ If you're working at the Clinic, you'd definitely save some headache of commute time and traffic by living on the eastside.

Another addition for Uptown? Some backward migration here -- expansion from Beachwood to Uptown Cleveland:

From the NY TIMES today: A Partnership Seeks to Transform Kent State and Kent By KEITH SCHNEIDER Published: February 5, 2013 KENT, Ohio — Though it is home to the second largest campus in Ohio’s state university system by enrollment, this small Cuyahoga River city spent much of the last four decades neglecting, if not deliberately retreating from, its history as a college town and its place in the annals of the Vietnam War era. But a $110 million mixed-use development that is under construction at the city’s center is remedying that. The project — a melding of more than 500,000 square feet of office, retail, residential and public spaces — is unfolding across a four-block, four-acre section of downtown. City and university leaders said the development, the largest downtown construction project in Kent’s 208-year history, will outfit the city with new destinations that suit contemporary lifestyles and spending patterns. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/06/realestate/commercial/development-aims-to-bring-kent-state-and-its-city-closer.html

From the NY TIMES: Bringing Back History and a Neighborhood League Park, a home to the Cleveland Indians until 1946, in the early 1900s. The ballpark was razed in 1951. By HILLEL KUTTLER Published: February 5, 2013 CLEVELAND — The grassy field at East 66th Street and Lexington Avenue in this city’s Hough neighborhood has a rich baseball past. The site has remained virtually untouched since the stadium was razed in 1951. But it is expected to reopen in turn-back-the-clock glory, featuring a baseball diamond aligned as it was during its major league heyday. The field will be made of artificial turf to reduce postponements in Little League, high school, college and recreational baseball games. It may also be used for soccer and football games, as well as concerts and other events. A second baseball diamond and a children’s water park, surrounded by a winding walking track, are to be built on the property. The project’s historical flourishes are to include a grandstand from first base to third base along the footprint of League Park. A visitor center will help buttress the portion of the original brick facade that is being held up by steel supports. The dilapidated two-story building that had been the stadium’s ticket office is to become a League Park museum. A facsimile of the Great Wall is to be built, after the foundation of the original one is excavated for display in the museum. www.nytimes.com/2013/02/06/sports/baseball/in-cleveland-bringing-back-baseball-history-and-a-neighborhood.html

Well that makes my righteously indignant letter to the editor for The Observer at Case Western far less historically accurate. Oops. Was the other side of the street, around the current Triangle apartments where the awful strip mall-thing used to be empty land before that as well? *Goes back to lurking* OK did some Googling...is it related to this? http://www.thecwruobserver.com/you-dont-know-what-youve-got-til-its-gone/

Well that makes my righteously indignant letter to the editor for The Observer at Case Western far less historically accurate. Oops. Was the other side of the street, around the current Triangle apartments where the awful strip mall-thing used to be empty land before that as well? *Goes back to lurking* Check out: http://www.historicaerials.com/ Definitely not open land. Most of the houses were there until about 1970. EDIT: And if you really want to blow your mind, look at all the houses/mansions knocked down to build the CWRU dorms on Northside.

Correct, Horace Ford: http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/1248207/Plate+024/Cleveland+1898/Ohio/ http://www.historicmapworks.com/Map/US/1248208/Plate+025/Cleveland+1898/Ohio/ Cozad, Wade, and Ford owned all the surrounding land -- NOTE: you can also see the "Circle" that named "University Circle"

Not to get too far off topic, but my family owned the Costello's music at 1993 E. 105th from 1950-1973ish.

Well I meant Stanley Saitowitz specifically.

^same architects as Uptown I believe.

Added upon UOer request! Also added the Jump Back Ball of Playhouse Square...and Dyngus Day.
