BUMP. One more reminder to the longest running Sci Fi film fest/marathon in nation. This Friday and Saturday.

Also, there are a ton of "hip" internal office views on google maps. Hover over their location with the dragging the small, yellow guy and you'll see what I mean.

Congrats to Columbus! Bring it home for Ohio.

WHOA. :( In the heart of Uptown/University Circle, and police chief involved immediatley afterwards. Police officer shoots and kills man at Corner Alley bowling alley in Cleveland's University Circle CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An off-duty police officer shot and killed a man late Saturday at the Corner Alley bowling alley in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood, according to Commander James McPike, who oversees the department homicide unit. The shooting happened about 11 p.m. Saturday at the bowling alley on Euclid Avenue and Ford Drive, according to three police sources. Homicide investigators are at the scene. Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams showed up to the scene, and left after refusing to answer questions from a reporter. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/01/police_officer_shoots_man_at_c.html

I believe it's the new Centers for Dialysis Care (CDC) Cleveland East. I presume this means it'll free up that prime real estate of their current location of E.117th and Euclid.

Cavaliers' new Nike uniforms pay tribute to The Land Updated 11:48 AM; Posted 9:00 AM By Joey Morona, cleveland.com, jmoronaCleveland[/member].com CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Nike unveiled the Cavaliers' latest jerseys and they're... different. The uniforms, dubbed "City Edition," are primarily gray with black and gold trim, giving them a subtle Pittsburgh Steelers vibe. The words "The Land" replace the traditional city or team nickname across the front. LeBron James started calling Cleveland "The Land" when he returned to the team in 2014, and as one of Nike's signature pitch men, played a role in the design of the uniform. Nike says the side panels are inspired by the Guardians of Transportation sculptures that watch over the Lorain-Carnegie bridge. The shorts feature an Ohio emblem on the front and "Cleveland" down the sides. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/12/cavaliers_new_uniforms_pay_tri.html

University Circle's Magnolia Clubhouse completes major renovation in historic home KARIN CONNELLY RICE | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2017 Since 1961, Magnolia Clubhouse has been a place where people with mental illness can go for friendship, counseling, help finding employment, and even just to get a good meal. Situated in two neighboring early 1900s houses, Magnolia Clubhouse is located at 11101 and 11027 Magnolia Drive in University Circle—and about to enter the final stages of a $3.85 million renovation effort. Originally known as Hill House, the organization was one of the first psychological rehabilitation centers in the United States. It became Magnolia Clubhouse in 2004, joining a network of more than 300 Clubhouse Internationals around the world. “Simply put, the difference between the Magnolia Clubhouse model and other mental health centers that help with rehab is we’re not just a drop-in center,” explains Whitney Bohan, Magnolia Clubhouse's development director. “People come here, and they help to run the clubhouse.” http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/breaking-ground/MagnoliaClubhouse121317.aspx?utm_source=Emma&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=University+Circle%27s+Magnolia+Clubhouse+completes+major+renovation+in+historic+home&utm_content=Newsletter&utm_campaign=Get+spirited+away+with+Cleveland%27s+festive+holiday+light+displays

Done. TT went from 142nd tallest to 83rd tallest in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_United_States#Tallest_buildings

Check out the "public transit" heading in the Infobox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSanto_Field I've figured out how to incorporate public transportation offerings / logistics. This is, of course, scalable to all Cleveland places on wikipedia.

Communism is back, baby.

Very curious to know what's going on this renovation in light of this unfortunate news of CEO Evelyn Gates resigning. This project needs to be a game-changer for generations to come. Anyone hearing anything?? Evalyn Gates leaves Cleveland Museum of Natural History after 7 years as director over differences on project Updated Dec 6, 6:41 PM; Posted Dec 6, 1:38 PM By Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio - Evalyn Gates, the executive director and CEO of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History since 2010, has left her position after having differed with board members over how best to proceed on its partially finished $150 million expansion and renovation. "We all agreed this would be the right thing to do," Gates said of her decision. She added, "I will use the word painful," when asked how it felt to leave the museum. The museum's news release said an interim head will be named soon, and the search for the next CEO is to begin immediately. Leaders of the institution said Wednesday night they are re-evaluating the expansion project's scope, size, content and technology because some of the plans date back to 2010-2011 and need to be updated. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/12/evalyn_gates_leaves_cleveland.html

Too bad county tax generation wasn't taken into account: Cuyahoga County's sale of transportation center upsets Midtown businesses By Karen Farkas, cleveland.com, kfarkasCleveland[/member].com CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cuyahoga County mishandled the sale of a former transportation center in Cleveland's Midtown area, according to business owners and developers who have invested tens of millions of dollars in the neighborhood. In a letter to County Council's Public Works Committee, the critics objected to awarding the building to the top bidder, who planned to use the building as a transit garage, rather than a bidder who wanted to redevelop the property for a bioscience and biotechnology laboratory. But the committee voted Wednesday to approve a bid of $2.75 million from Tony George and send the proposed deal to the full council for a vote on Dec. 12. The committee's move came three weeks after it was presented with legislation to approve a $2.5 million offer from CoLab Partners LLC. http://www.cleveland.com/cuyahoga-county/index.ssf/2017/12/cuyahoga_countys_sale_of_transportation_center_draws_ire_of_midtown_businesses.html
