Pet Peeves!
Has anyone else experienced servers adding a couple bucks on their tips after the fact? I'm sitting here reconciling my credit card statement and it's happened 2x in the last month. I'm not a weak tipper--always 20% at a minimum unless the service is awful. I feel like they are playing an "office space" game if they add $1 to enough tips in a week they can jack up their earnings by a few hundred. I'm tempted to go on the credit card site and report for fraud as I doubt calling the restaurants will do anything.

Mexico City May 2023
Nice set! I love it there. Mexico gets a bad rap. More Americans should visit places outside of Cancun and Cabo.

I think I saw this guy sipping on IPAs at the Lakewood truck park a few days ago!

Well you can't say she doesn't have a type. Ultra-wealthy with one foot in the grave is definitely a thing!

I do think Greyhound would make an amazing entrance lobby/restaurant space to a high rise.

Just as all Cleveland boaters know about the biting flies out there. Especially bad on the crib!

Anyone want to put together a UO ownership group? We can have a nice little mancave out there. Bring plenty of bug spray!

Cars & Vehicles Discussion (History, etc)
New Jersey is a case study in post-World War II highway destruction. It's all about speeding cars through the state to a bottleneck at the bridge and tunnels.

It really is the best thing to happen to transit in recent memory. So much easier for everyone!

I don't think so. Best you can do is buy tickets on the Transit App using your card.

Great Lakes Shipping News
Here's something you don't see every day! A freighter named Cuyahoga caught fire overnight on Lake Erie just north of Pelee Island. A mayday call was issued by the freighter, and multiple rescue vessels responded to help the cargo ship. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/freighter-catches-fire-on-lake-erie

Love this. Going to appropriate this quote for my own uses! 😂

I do wish those balconies were bigger.

Cleveland: Downtown Parks & Public Spaces - Development/Construction
How is it we used to manage this in Public Square (photo circa 1940) and today it's so difficult? Maybe there were accidents back then and we just never heard about them? Less lawyers? I personally would love to see pedestrians, cars, buses and trains crowding the square with a population approaching 1 million once again....

The WSM probably doesn't treat Griffin and his friends to a luxury suite and beers on a Sunday!

Michael Belkin is still the president of the local Live Nation office. Yes not the same, but he's still here and very active in the market. Taylor Swift is promoted by Louis Messina/AEG, so he has nothing to do with her.

It's complex. In all touring, but especially on the stadium level, much of it comes down to the deal that the promoter and artist can get from the venue. I'm sure not of us would be shocked to learn, but my guess is the City of Cleveland is not a great negotiating partner. Also as much as you don't want to hear "routing," Cleveland lies right in the middle of the Detroit/Pittsburgh/Cincinnati triangle. So the promoter probably sees an opportunity to maximize revenue and draw from this market by playing around it. Especially with multiple nights in the surrounding cities. It costs money to move production. But fans driving to you is pure profit. It's not necessarily always this way. Last summer Motley Crue/Def Leppard played Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cincinnati. The difference is they only did one night in each city, and played smaller baseball parks in the surrounding markets. If Taylor Swift announces an extension of this tour into secondary and tertiary markets, I bet you might see Cleveland on the routing.

A football stadium does not make for a great convention space. The floor space is limited, and the ceiling is too high.

CBS actually hosts quite a few of these already, mainly in the clubs either facing the lake or downtown. As mentioned in the post above, there really isn't a huge market for a rental space for 80,000 people, unless you're in Vegas or NOLA, and even then it might be once or twice a year, if at all.
