    I was thinking the same thing. Could it be the downstate rural politicians capitalizing on a Federal law being forced upon them?
  2. Greatttt that means any flight arriving after 7 pm will have an even longer wait for their luggage. Not that I mind waiting 45 minutes for my bags after a 38 minute flight from ORD. >:(
  3. Of course it wouldn't make sense to patch it during the winter. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to PLAN it for the summer? The City of Cleveland is incapable of even this.

    That explains their medal count in the winter games this year!
  5. It makes sense to set paving priorities after the worst of the weather is over. Temperature swings early in the year are brutal on the roads. Roads can go from okay to awful in a couple weeks. Setting priorities before winter ends seems premature, imo. I could have told them LAST SUMMER that this road needed done. It's just the road that most of our out-of-town visitors stopping by get to see. I'm sick of the excuses. This is just one of the many instances where the City of Cleveland government fails us. These kinds of things should just be done, and instead it takes a Carl Monday investigation to get a road paved or some potholes filled.
  6. Nice--thank you! And as suspected--check out those big sexy columns!

    Machine Gun Kelley has festival dates and a supporting slot on a Fall Out Boy tour coming up. He was also just cast for the roll of Tommy Lee in the Motley Crue "The Dirt" movie being produced by Netflix. I hate to say it, but the kid has a nice little career forming.
  8. ^^I tried to find interior images of the building last night but was unsuccessful.
  9. A-freaking-men! I'd like to think I had a part of this since I dropped a request in on the "Mayor's Action Center." This line of Joe's story is very telling: "News 5 contacted the Cleveland Mayor's office, but we were told the city still doesn't have a 2018 resurfacing plan in place." Why wouldn't you have a 2018 resurfacing plan in place? It's only....2018! And here you have a perfect example of the culture in the ranks of City of Cleveland employees. They are completely reactionary and have no vision. They show up 1 minute before their shift starts and leave one minute before it ends (at least the good ones do....). There is money for these kinds of projects, mainly held onto by the council people for distribution when they say so. But it usually takes hundreds of citizen complaints, followed by a news story, to get something done that they should already be planning for.
  10. My guess is they have too many supporting columns and not enough clear interior space. Doesn't the Warner-Swasey complex have open space? Or the low-level building at the old Westinghouse plant near Edgewater Park? Or the Brown Hoisting Company in the 4500 block of Hamilton Ave? Or maybe even the Masonic Auditorium on Euclid Avenue? Of all you mentioned I'd say the best chance of having that kind of space is the Brown Hoist company, but I've never been in it. Those old factories weren't built with weight bearing roof trusses--lots of columns in them. Sound stages are built like airplane hangers, but with load-bearing roofs. Wide open floor space.

  12. I am skeptical too. I know of people who have met with the Mayor for smaller things than this. Perhaps this group didn;t reach out to the mayor;s office ahead of time to schedule a meeting. Agreed--but for something as significant as this, the mayor might want to consider a deviation from his calendar. That is something I could see Frank Jackson not doing and instead going to a meeting about the dirt bike track....

    Where have we heard that before...the beginning of this season when they were always losing games in the second half? They are 3-2 since the trade with road wins over OKC and Boston. I think they'll be ok. The exact same record they had from October 17-25, start of the regular season. We thought they'd be ok then as well. I'm not feeling it.

  15. Agreed on Cleveland and Akron-and there would likely be no gap at all if it weren't for a large national park dropped between them.
  16. Do you mean the northeast? Isn't the SE corner a BP?

    What did you talk her down to on the bras?
  18. I can't see an NHL or NBA team being down with a renovated Key arena in Seattle. It's so old there is only so much that turd can be polished!
  19. Heads up for anyone flying this President's day week--dropped my girlfriend off early this morning and ALL the onsite parking facilities are full, with security guards blocking the entrances. Valet still seemed to be open. Maybe it's time for the city to sell some bonds and rebuild the long-term parking ramp on the Orange surface lot?
  20. The city and state should sell naming rights to recoup some of the cost and help pay for actual development improvements. "The Lerner Family Parkway at Cleveland Clinic Corridor"
  21. It is when a white cop (who should have been fired long ago) working in a majority black city kills a black kid at a bar. I'm sure somewhere in the officers tribal tattoos is a pledge to Steve Loomis. Why is the cop's race important? Why is race not mentioned when descriptions of perpetrators are provided? Where is BLM? http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/01/cleveland_officer_who_fatally.html Check out the D-bag in the article photo. A white cop in his 50's with tattoo sleeves and 4 chins? A cop that plead guilty to 8 first degree misdemeanors in 2014 and still kept his job. In a majority-black city, his race is important. I don't doubt that the kid was being a drunk a$$hole and needed to be tased and sent to jail. If he was a white frat boy, that's most likely what would have happened.

    Economical? Lol, the investors got wiped out. Well relative to 1802 it is, and it's finally turning a profit 20 years after opening. Maybe they should have waited another decade or two, but my point was it never hurts to speculate about what might be possible....
  23. I was interested in reading about this and found this site, which apparently claims Cleveland's is lower than Columbus. https://www.apartmentlist.com/oh/cleveland It's interesting to look at the national picture as well. https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/national-rent-data/ (disclaimer--I am not in the field and not sure of this website vs others in their methodology)

    The first proposed tunnel under the channel was in 1802, put forth by a French mining engineer. 186 years later, construction on the current Chunnel started when technology had advanced far enough to make it not only feasible, but economical. Dream big Elon!
  25. What's the over/under on days until a RTA driver takes one of these poles out? ;D
