There's a GREAT article about North Collinwood in today's Fresh Water. Can someone post it? On my iPhone....

The Agora Theater getting some tax $$$: 3 Historic Ohio Buildings Will Benefit from Asbestos Removal Funds On Monday, Ohio state officials released the names of three historic buildings that will benefit from Ohio’s Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund – Toledo’s Madison Building, Cleveland’s Agora Theater, and Youngstown State University’s Garfield Building. The three will each receive $200,000 to help remove asbestos from the buildings. http://www.asbestos.net/news/2011/01/05/3-historic-ohio-buildings-will-benefit-from-asbestos-removal-funds

Murray Hill Market will open up this week. I'm on high alert to post when they are open.

^. Haha! The girls I brought both stopped at 5 or 6. BUT they seemed happy enough!

The lady pays ten dollars, and she can select up to ten martini's off of the drink list. So it breaks down to a buck a piece. Most girls stop ordering around 6-7 though it seems. Heading over right now...

Damn setback...

Tonight I'm taking a few ladies over to Coventry to "La Bodega's" insane ladies' night special: 10 martinis for $10 every Monday night for females. This got me thinking, what are some of the best specials/drink specials around Cleveland? Please post here. My new favorite downtown happy hour is Zinc, where every drink is 50% off.

Welcome! :) if you dare to be an eastsider in University Circle, there are a ton of "for rent" signs in Little Italy. Lakewood is obviously great. Good luck with everything!

Did this ever happen?? This is the most current article I can find on the new station: http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/devnews/thebikerack11112010.aspx

Here's an update on the new Washington Place Bistro and Inn. They are now officially open as both a restaurant and an Inn. Here is there pretty impressive website: http://www.washingtonplacelittleitaly.com/ I ate there for lunch last week, and I was pleseantly surprised and impressed by the quality of the meal and price ranges. Every Wednesday night, they have a "2 for $40" special that includes an appitizer, two entered, and a bottle of wine. Today I received a tour of the new remodeled rooms, and they give Glidden House a run for its money. They are cozy, with some nice views of UC on the top floor. They run for $149 a night...so not too bad at all. So there's my report. The new remodeled Inn and restaurant is now ip and running, and is a great improvement to both UC and LI.

I would still rather have this than nothing--Downtown Cleveland adds another attraction.

Whatever happened to plans for an international welcome center in Cleveland? Expect to hear a new welcome mat hitting the front porch in the new year. Sometime this year, according to plans, Cleveland will announce that it is again open to immigrants -- as well as to anyone else who can breathe life into empty homes and help to create high-tech jobs. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/01/international_welcome_center_i.html

Construction to begin next week: http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/12/post_410.html Money secured, work to start next week on Flats aquarium Jacobs Entertainment announced Friday that it had secured the $33 million needed for the first phase of a long-discussed aquarium in the Powerhouse on the Flats' west bank. Officials hope to start construction next week and expect the attraction to open later this year. They're also designing an eventual second phase estimated at more than $40 million.

It's like Cleveland's E.4th street, but everywhere!!

^Thanks. It lights up different colors at night on the corner.

Ohio gained 1.6% population this past decade ... But will lose 2 seats in Congress :(. The other states in the Sunbelt grew much, much faster

Any time now, new state population will be released

On MOCA's facebook page, it says a "month or so" as of Dec 9.
