I would actually like to see a downtown car detail shop to serve both residents and office workers. A ground floor of a parking ramp is an ideal location for something like this. It may be my imagination but I thought it exists on 12th and Hamilton (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.506066,-81.688172,3a,75y,334.22h,84.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqGZIC6eUXX61321VuewuiA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1) (google street view doesn't show it, although imagery is from '11). There's also this one on 1900 Hamilton Ave, a bit outside downtown for some - https://www.google.com/maps/@41.508954,-81.682301,3a,75y,131.93h,79.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVHGqud8mfiyKZlMulw2klQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 Have never seen it--will have to check it out--thanks!

Get rid of the double-dipping council members and top-heavy management of every department, and we could afford another 100 officers. Time to clean house.

One thing the scanner doesn't give is the race of the alleged victims.....

Whatever it was, the description on the police scanner from dispatch was a "large group of black juveniles, assaulting random victims." If you never tune in, have a listen: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/11446

I was listening to the police scanner yesterday evening--there was also another incidence of a roving gang of juveniles playing knock out. At least one adult injured, and the 5th St Arcade security grabbed a suspect for CPD.

This was the only thing I could find via Google. Not sure how current? https://ohiohome.org/lihtc/proposals/2014/New%20Units%20-%20Urban/A%20Place%20for%20Us%20Housing.pdf

Cleveland Hopkins manager says he's assigned to 'mop closet' for blowing whistle on snowstorm staffing CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The former head of airfield maintenance at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport says management retaliated against him for disclosing that Hopkins was understaffing its snow- and ice-clearing crews, potentially putting passengers and planes at risk. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2015/07/cleveland_hopkins_manager_says_hes_assigned_to_mop_closet_for_blowing_whistle_on_snowstorm_staffing.html

Dozens of teens rob, ransack Akron gas station AKRON, Ohio— About 60 teenagers robbed and ransacked a gas station late Friday in an incident partly captured by a cellphone video, police said. http://www.cleveland.com/akron/index.ssf/2015/07/dozens_of_teens_rob_ransack_ak.html

Cadillac Ranch II (just kidding!!) Maybe Gary Bauer can remake The Basement.

Probably a good idea. Noodlecat was really amazing, but probably the most expensive noodles I've had in the entire world.

Amazing!

That's quite a train! I didn't realize it would be pulling so much, including it's own coal supply! Wish I would have had a chance to see it in person.

I can't read the article, but aren't all airlines trying to cut capacity to increase revenue and seat miles? If there is demand they will have flights. On a side note--it was cool to see 8-10 737's nudged up to concourse A the other morning when I was leaving town. Haven't seen that in a while. US Air, Spirit and Frontier all had mainline jets visible from the highway.

Probably pay more double-dipping pensioners.....

Very true. And while we're all SIM City dreaming, I'd love to see the strip mall across the street torn down and replaced with a nice 5 story mixed use building. It's probably one of the best sites for TOD in the entire city currently....and we have a suburban strip there.

^^More proof we are being left courtesy of backwards politicians in Columbus who are trying to keep Ohio in the 1950's rather than planning for the future. I'm interested to see how Kasich spins this to defend his policies.

Where does downtown stack up against other city neighborhoods currently?

Sports Owners Dip Into the Public’s Purse, Despite Their Billions in the Bank http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/22/sports/sports-owners-dip-into-the-publics-purse-despite-their-billions-in-the-bank.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0

I do hope the homophonic glitch was intentional! :)

What evidence do you have to support that claim? If you look at a number of studies, you will find that LA does not always come up as #1 in most congested cities, and those cities that come in above it do just fine drawing people to their football stadiums. Plus, I'd venture to say the LA region has a higher number of "elites" than other metro areas, so even if a lower percentage of them have a desire to buy seats at the stadium, that still leaves a lot of people who may. Let's start with the history of the NFL in Los Angeles. They last two teams left because they couldn't sell tickets and the games were always blacked out. There are a host of reasons for this, but the underlying reasons probably remain. And yes, you may cite traffic studies that may spread the traffic out over the LA metro, but I don't think there would be many on this forum who would disagree that LA doesn't have the nations worst traffic problem. Do Seattle, Miami or Washington have events like Carmageddon or Obamajam making the national news a few times a year?

Everyone is missing my point. It's not about the traffic, which, yes every city above has, but LA is still at the top of the heap. It's about the people they need to support it. The Hollywood and corporate elite are the ones who don't want to sit in traffic all day on Sunday when they can just watch it on TV.

My understanding is the second floor is a faux treatment. I hope that is wrong.

Definitely true--but the people the NFL are courting are not blue collar. They need them club seat and suites revenue in LA to make the model work. Those types of people won't sit in traffic for three hours to get to a stadium. Is traffic that bad in LA on Sunday morning? NFL franchises rely on wealthy club suite buyers and joe 6 pack who buys the cheaper tickets. You can pretty much guarantee that an NFL game in Los Angeles, in a brand new facility, will have the most expensive average ticket in the league. Will there be Joe 6 packs? Of course! Somewhere up in the nosebleeds. Just like at the Lakers games. And won't this new franchise/NFL want to participate in the TV ratings bonanzas like Monday night football? Gametime at 5:30 pm Pacific time? In downtown LA? Or Inglewood? Cue the fear of Footballcarmageddon....
