  1. Found a description of this exact game! https://books.google.com/books?id=LhrYoCJfeNsC&pg=PA145&lpg=PA145&dq="big+four+heyday"&source=bl&ots=v_CiAgZECo&sig=ACfU3U2i-NlQHXX_B1S5SuiBBztOi7gb4A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwje9cCjw5DgAhUC9IMKHQTTC2UQ6AEwB3oECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q="big four heyday"&f=false ...referred to as the 'Aerial Circus'...the Yellow Jackets wound up as college football's highest-scoring team that year, with an average of 43.8 points per game. Western Reserve had what may have been the best football team in school history. Here's a super interesting stat from this era -- the NCAA college football scoring national leaders in a single season were unofficially: 1935 - Ray Zeh, RB, Western Reserve (112 pts) 1936 - Norm Schoen, RB, Baldwin-Wallace (117 pts) Scroll to the very bottom of this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_major_college_football_yearly_scoring_leaders Both players, of course, played in this game in the above photo. The "Big Four" college football battles were the games to go to in Cleveland before the Rams and the Browns.

  6. St. Edward High School announces $7 million student commons and main entrance expansion Updated 6:53 AM; Posted 6:45 AM By John Benson, special to cleveland.com LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- Less than six months after it celebrated the grand opening of the brand-new $5.5 million Joseph & Helen Lowe Institute for Innovation, St. Edward High School has announced a $7 million expansion adding a new main entrance and a student commons with dining space on the south side of the Detroit Avenue campus. Construction is set to begin in June with an August 2020 completion date.

  11. More chatter related to jobs numbers : The Best Markets For Real Estate Investments In 2019 Ingo Winzer You can never know when a real estate bubble will burst – I happen to think it won’t happen in 2019 – but in places like San Francisco, Seattle, Miami and Denver, caution is now the order of the day. If you own property in these spots and plan to sell, don’t wait until the market has peaked. And if you’re looking for a good place to put your money, you should consider instead the 20 markets I’m listing here. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ingowinzer/2019/01/07/2019-best-markets-for-real-estate-investments/#85eb29271f5c

  13. That design truly snaches defeat from the jaws of victory... What a squandered urban planning opportunity it would be with its waterfront location / downtown views.
  14. I like the tongue-in-cheek headline. Not sure why people on Facebook and in the comments section are getting upset: The ranking is based off per capita metrics. Cleveland Somehow Named Fifth Best American City for Nightlife in New Report Posted By Laura Morrison on Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 12:02 PM Cleveland's nightlife scene is so hot right now, at least according to the Apartment Guide blog's new Top 10 Best Cities For Nightlife in America list. The blog, which unsurprisingly helps apartment hunters find apartments, compared the ratio of people to the number of music spots, bars, breweries and clubs to come up with their results. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2019/01/04/cleveland-somehow-named-fifth-best-american-city-for-nightlife-in-new-report

  16. Thanks all! Ironically enough, this exacerbates the same problem I've been running into - the reddit user is using the 2010 SPA boundaries and names. I'm definitely better understanding "neighborhood does not equal SPA" across the multiple examples (thanks to everyone here!); however, from everything I can tell now. the city changed many SPA boundaries / names and census tracks in 2014...and none of us seemed to notice?? Here is the modern SPA guide from the city website: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/2010census/factsheets.php And I found the specific change referenced on the city website: In 2000 the City Planning Commission aggregated the Census Tracts into 36 Statistical Planning Areas (SPA). Each SPA is equivalent to a traditional neighborhood. A Neighborhood Fact Sheet compiles some of the most basic demorgraphic information for a certain neighborhood. The census tracks and SPA's changed in 2014. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/census/factsheets/cpc.html Again, here is the 2010 map the reddit user was using, which from what I can tell, was incorrect / not current: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/2010census/downloads/SPAs.pdf
  17. ^ Thanks Pugu. It's all coming together for me ... many boundaries / names did change, since the 2010 census. Here is the current SPA guide: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/2010census/factsheets.php And I found the specific change referenced: In 2000 the City Planning Commission aggregated the Census Tracts into 36 Statistical Planning Areas (SPA). Each SPA is equivalent to a traditional neighborhood. A Neighborhood Fact Sheet compiles some of the most basic demorgraphic information for a certain neighborhood. The census tracks and SPA's changed in 2014. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/census/factsheets/cpc.html A few other notables: "Industrial Valley" is now "Cuyahoga Valley" "Downtown" is defined as cleanly to the I-90 border "Ohio City" seems to have tighter boundaries "North Broadway" and "South Broadway" have been combined into "Broadway-Slavic Village" "Forest Hills" has been merged into "Glenville" I guess I'm just surprised I never noticed the changes, since it is currently 2019 and they were done in 2014. I like the new borders and definitions much better. Also, a TON of content online continues to reference the 2010 SPA borders.
  18. ^ BUMP! So who can speak to (or guess) on SPA / neighborhood definitions? Is "Hopkins" a neighborhood now and not "Riverside?"

  20. Great read! Only complaint is this second paragraph: One reason Landes likes Cleveland is because "things are affordable," especially when compared to New York, where she said the real estate market is "blown out of proportion." At the same time, she said there is "a lot of red tape" to work through, although Cleveland Department of Building and Housing official Kevin Franklin pointed out that it's actually state code that has to be followed.
  21. This is not necessarily a census question, but more a neighborhood definition question: **Cross-posted from "Cleveland: Random Quick Questions"** For the City of Cleveland, are the official city neighborhood designations simply known as Statistical Planning Areas (SPAs)? If so, I noticed a shift in both neighborhood names and borders since the 2010 census vs what the city posts as its SPAs (2014 the most recent): 2010: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/2010census/downloads/SPAs.pdf 2014: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/2010census/downloads/All_SPAs_2014.pdf Some neighborhoods completely drop off (Corlett). Some neighborhoods are added (Lee-Harvard). And many names and borders shift, especially on the east side. My question -- what is the gospel that defines the present day Cleveland neighborhoods? (I was trying to create wiki pages for remaining Cleveland neighborhoods that didn't have pages, and I noticed the shift. The main Cleveland wiki page is based off of the 2010 borders).

  23. Maybe we should start a “Cleveland: Music Industry” thread? Steve Popovich Jr. Relaunches His Father's Cleveland International Records Jeff Niesel Dec 26, 2018 15:54 PM Back in the 1970s when Cleveland became synonymous with rock n’ roll, the late Steve Popovich formed Cleveland International Records. The label had a huge hit right out of the gates with Meat Loaf’s 1977 album Bat Out of Hell and would go on to garner Grammy nods and other accolades. While Popovich still ran the label, it filed a lawsuit against Sony Music, which had produced copies of Bat Out of Hell without the Cleveland Internataional logo on them. Now that the suit has been settled, Popovich’s son, Steve Popovich, Jr., has relaunched the label. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2018/12/26/steve-popovich-jr-relaunches-his-fathers-cleveland-international-records
