Tito named manager of the year. I hope his health holds out and we have him for many more years. He's a great manager, and also a great citizen of Cleveland! Love that he rides his scooter from his home downtown and is gracious with all the fans!

This goes back to the origination of the nickname "Windy City," which was named for the local machine politicians moving a lot of hot air, and not for the local weather patterns.

LGA is right across the river.

Clearly aviation technology has advanced. The 1960's predate RNAV GPS units and many ODPs (Obstacle Departure Procedures). From a modern photo it looks like no one is afraid to fly their multi million dollar jets in there!

Likewise--and I'll be at the game!

Is it me, or should this house be snatched up by an organization like the Convention and Visitors Bureau?

Just in time for the Browns @ Bills. Could it be Snow Bowl II? Hopefully the Browns have the same result (they won 8-0 in 2007)

I agree and I wonder how much MLB allows for discounting. It's crazy the amount they want for an upper deck seat in May to a game no one cares about. TBH I'm surprised they don't offer more deals just to get people in the park and buying hotdogs and beer.

Kansas City & New York City to start.

Certainly commercial real estate has to be a boat anchor right now. I suppose that sector could tank the entire business.

Which is crazy because it's SO easy to vote in Ohio. Absentee, early voting and in person is all very simple and streamlined.

Bibb needs to expose the ridiculous union rules that prior administrations signed off on. Ever wonder why the early snowfalls are always such a debacle? Because the city mechanics union contract says they cannot work on the plow equipment until after a specific date (I'm not sure of the exact date, but let's call it "November 1"). So we can have 30 city mechanics sitting around with their feet up all of October with nothing to do, and they won't touch plows.....

"Didn't do much" is an understatement. He oversaw a growth of an already bloated city payroll, passed a .5% tax increase and services declined....

Gotta be able to tow your house!

They could land at BKL, and drive their passenger to an address downtown in a seamless trip.

But this is why I think Burke should be a part of the conversation. It shouldn't just be "what else can we do with Burke?" There should also be a conversation about what could be done if Burke does stay to make it better. I mentioned upthread that Flexjet was building a brand new headquarters at CGF. I count this as a huge missed opportunity for the city of Cleveland to put one of their aviation assets into the economic development mix. It most certainly would have attracted more jobs and development. We should also not discount that viable public transport by air is going to be a thing of the very near future. The FAA isn't likely to allow flying Uber cars to take off and land from city streets anytime soon, but Cleveland with its downtown airport could be a test bed for this soft of technology.

As someone who has witnessed the inefficiency of Cleveland's city unions, I'd like to see someone stand up to them.

Meigs field was 75 acres built next to one of the most densely populated central business districts in the country. Burke is 450 acres in a city that has spent the last 30 years waiting to build something on its main public square, and has an excess of empty land and surface lots throughout the city.

Burke is also home to air ambulance operations for Cleveland Clinic. County airport runways cannot be expanded. NIMBYs already put a stop to that years ago.

They tried for years and the NIMBYS shut down any further expansion of runways at KCGF.

I hear this complaint about Burke imposing height restrictions oft repeated. The only parcel I could see being affected is the parking lot immediately north of the stadium, and even then it would probably only affect the end of 24L/6R, which is only used by flight training schools typically anyway. 24R/6L RSA is well clear of any buildable land, and the current obstacle departure procedures for Burke in IFR conditions already accounts for the stadium and E&Y building where they are.

I see it as a better airport if the city actually uses it to generate economic activity in the city of Cleveland. Flexjet is building their worldwide HQ at CGF and I guarantee you no one from the city of Cleveland even bothered to call them to try to move them downtown. That would have generated a huge amount of interest by other aviation businesses in looking at BKL.

All of this enhances my point. We need to invest more money into the problem, training mental health professionals and providing long term solutions. If we did, we wouldn't have to worry as much about park benches on city streets.

So sad that we are the richest country in the world, spend 1 trillion a year on military, send hundreds of billions overseas and locally in our cities and towns we delete park benches over dealing with people with mental illness. It makes you wonder who is actually mentally ill....

True. The ones that are leaving are often not really leaving. They are moving their "headquarters" for a tax dodge.
