I was going to post that, but I figure more people care about the outlet of the information and totally ignore the information itself and continue on bashing the source. There was already a comment about FOX from the one I posted with no response to the info itself. I find it quite amazing. I afraid though i hope not that the guy is right. We were being told this during the primaries by a certain presidential candidate as well. Nobody listened, and they laughed at him. What a shame.

the drivers use one of those pitch count clickers :wink:

Does anyone factor in that during the first depression half the workforce we have today was at home? Women, by and large didnt work back then. None of you guys looking for jobs now had to compete with women for it. Also, when a man lost his job then, the whole household lost its income. I think the 25% of the population unemployed number is complete bullshit. I think this is another reason how this current crisis is not comparable to the depression. The dynamics are totally different. The only similarity is the Federal Reserve's response. Which didnt help then and wont now.

We have lost most of our manufacturing jobs, some to imports, but a lot of the jobs were lost to automation. We are still at or near the top of the list of manufacturing output. Japan actually had a plan to lose their steel industry and shift to higher value added products like cars and electronics. (That's why they dumped TVs here for decades--to destroy Zenith, Motorola, RCA, etc). Steel was too energy intensive for them to compete in much longer. Japan's market the Nikkei's value was at close to 40,000 in 1991. Today it stands at 7400. They have never recovered.

I agree with you about Beck. To me his foreign policy is the thing I dont like. I think he's starting to come around. He's the only one talking about the real problems within our monetary policy ala Federal Reserve. And I give him much props for that. What he hasnt got to yet is how our foreign policy has bankrupted our country and how it is in no way sustainable. Our 700+ overseas military bases cant be sustained and shouldnt be. Were following the paths of the British and Roman empires and we all know how that turned out.

Check out what this guy is saying. I'm not saying what he says is going to happen but he does have a scary good track record at predicting events. Take what you will from it. http://smargus.com/2009/02/gerald-celente-on-glenn-beck-february-10th-2009/

You may just get your wish. Commercial real estate is going to get pummelled this year with all the chain retailers going belly up. Commercial real estate is going to be the next crisis.

Great news. Thanks for the update. You guys are doing a great job over there.

Agree. Also, this will leave maybe 3 or 4 empty storefronts between Public Square and East 9th depending on what the Maron's already have planned for their two empties. This strip has come a long way.

Thats it!

515 is getting an office furniture showroom. I cant, for the life of me remember the name. It will be taking up two storefronts.

I did notice that the Barley House will eat up some of the parking lot next to it for an outdoor beer garden. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/photo/021209/index.php#gallery

well, either you stick with the status quo and hope the masses will walk or ride their bike (which in large part wont happen)to the station. Or you can accomodate the mindset of the majority and give them more parking. Maybe you just want them to tear down another building for a surface lot. :wink: Either way there isnt much growth potential for this station in its current situation. And it serves a pretty dense area.

the puritas rendering looks pretty impressive. also i think the 117th station could sorely use a parking deck. The lot is at capacity almost every day. I'm sure this dissuades alot of potential riders.

The sign looks completely out of scale if you ask me. Good idea, it's just too freakin big.

.

Doesnt Stark own that lot?

Yes! thank you.

I dont have the capital to go after this building, though by posting it here maybe a fellow UO'er would seize this opportunity. Check this thing out. Right in the heart of beautiful Old Brooklyn. 199,000. 11,300sqf MLS Number: 2413055 Progressive is the company listing it.

Can you expand on this any? I was aware of unrest there, but not the extent or the cause. Here is a jist of what i'm talking about. Surprisingly CNBC has been chatting a bit about it today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/ambroseevans_pritchard/4623525/Failure-to-save-East-Europe-will-lead-to-worldwide-meltdown.html Also, notice as well what gold and silver have done the past four weeks despite a strengthening dollar. If your looking for a winner i'd get in on silver. Huge upside.

some mega serious shit is going down in eastern europe economically. it involves the derivatives market that no one likes to talk about. this has the potention to f**k everyones world up. very, very soon.

Sports lounge? I dont even see a TV in their pics.
