I'm still not following how you're tying the incompetence of the Biden administration to the riots of 2020 and earlier, all of which happened under Trump. And BTW, there were quite a few right-wing agitators arrested for starting fires and breaking glass during those...

You gotta be tough to surf in Cleveland!

How many riots have happened since Biden took the reigns? 🤔 Perhaps the incompetence you are speaking of was actually during the Trump administration?

Followed by a stumble to the Big Egg!

It's been a bad time to be grabbing fast food in the burbs! Woman shot near drive-thru of Elyria Taco Bell: police ELYRIA, Ohio (WJW) — Police in Elyria are investigating a shooting that happened near the drive-thru of a Taco Bell restaurant. According to a release from police, on Wednesday at about 10:21 p.m., officers responded to the area of Taco Bell — located at 117 West Ave. — for a report of shots fired. https://fox8.com/news/woman-shot-near-drive-thru-of-elyria-taco-bell-police/

I would agree with this especially when the majority of legacy auto makers are heading to end production of internal combustion powered vehicles. Disagree on this...the more Trumpy the Trumpster candidates try to Trump, the more they will turn off women. Also there are a lot of baby boomers dying off in the suburbs, shrinking the Fox News faithful in these areas.

I feel bad for Justin Bibb. He has a lot of work to clean up the neglect left by Frank Jackson.

Well of course for foot traffic...however I was thinking of the St Louis Ball Park village specifically. They have an entire complex with rooftop seating and bars (much like Wrigley Rooftops). https://fox2now.com/news/tickets-set-to-go-on-sale-for-rooftop-seating-at-ballpark-village/ I don't think tearing down the garages would ever fly (especially since it's a revenue source for the city/county) but if you put an attraction on top, they could co-exist. Of course, having a team with fans like the Cardinals or Cubs helps....

Welp back to the drawing board. Hopefully the Bibb administration can figure this out. It really needs to be a county-wide contract which would benefit the entire region! Recycling Contractor Jumps Ship, City of Cleveland Back to Square One in Woeful Saga The City of Cleveland announced Wednesday that it has failed to agree to contract terms with a vendor selected to manage the new curbside recycling program. Roughly 27,000 households registered for the "opt-in" recycling program this summer and fall after a consultant proposed such an arrangement earlier in 2021. Under the new program, theoretically, those who sign up will retain their blue recycling bins and have recyclable materials collected every other week. But without a vendor to collect and process that material, the City will have to go out for bids once again. That's a dicey proposition, given that it has now failed to enlist a willing vendor at a sensible price point on three consecutive occasions. https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2021/12/29/recycling-contractor-jumps-ship-city-of-cleveland-back-to-square-one-in-woeful-saga?utm_source=Cleveland+Scene+-+Weekly+Newsletters&utm_campaign=09de94a096-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_01_05_02_48&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_63c629abc4-09de94a096-37375164

Would the Gateway parking decks support a couple more stories on top for development? Bars and restaurants can't weigh that much....

I don't see how Ryan is any further left than Sherrod Brown?

On this note, we have one of the better backup QBs in the league. Case Keenham should have been the guy after his win against Denver. They should have sat Baker until he had time to heal properly. Instead they've generated another Quarterback controversy. Browns being the Browns.

Its also killing his long term chances with the Browns or any other team. Maybe the Jets would take him.

Well that couldn't have been much worse. I was hoping the Browns could dash the Steelers playoff hopes. Instead they laid a huge turd filled with sacks.

And to make matters worse, many of these minority owned firms are just shell companies, who hire in majority white firms as subcontractors and mark their invoice up 10%. So it's not like lots of city of Cleveland minority residents are benefitting with jobs and wages...it's one guy making a small markup who has figured out how to game the system with the white contractors.

Would love to hear about it--probably needs it's own thread though!

Thank you for your informed responses on these posts. I don't want to come off as anti-police, because I'm not. I'm just part of the frustrated citizenry caught up in the politics vs reality of the situation.

We have a long way to go here...

I understand this is a problem with staffing, however, when the officers determine something is worthy of their attention, they seem to crawl out of the woodwork. For us "regular citizens" in need, ehhh "take a number pal...we're too busy." This reminds me of an anecdotal incident. Last summer there was a bad wreck on the Edgewater Parkway with a fatality. There was no less than 12 zone cars blocking the westbound entrances (About 7 at Clifton and 5 at Lake Ave). All the officers were parked in a row with their windows down talking to each other. It may take me months to see 12 cars in my neighborhood in normal circumstances, but somehow 12 were available to block a road that could have been done with 2 cars? I guess the weather was nice and these guys wanted to catch up on gossip....

I get the sense that there is a lot of union foot dragging happening within the CPD ranks. My interactions with officers on minor issues (like a neighbor's car getting hit while parked on the street) made it clear that they don't want to do any paperwork. In the CPD killing of Timothy Russel and Malissa Williams, a backfire mistaken a gunshot somehow led to 60 patrol cars in pursuit. I found this fact astounding, thinking there wasn't even 60 patrol cars on the streets of Cleveland at any one time. Where did they all come from?

Nah, This is clearly a TMUD project for continued surface parking, as some developer is betting on the rumored return of Lebron to the Cavs. 😜

Sometimes the lines are blurred between the cops and robbers...

Seems like it might be going down

A quite unfortunate surname. Almost as bad as this Yahoo Sports headline last week 🤔
