  1. Just announced today....28 THOUSAND Disney is laying off 28,000 employees as pandemic hammers its theme parks https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/29/media/disney-parks-layoffs/index.html
  2. There are many more unemployed than just restaurant and bar workers. Hotels, convention centers, cruise ships, entertainment industry....
  3. "Many places" as in employers with low skill jobs who cannot find immigrants anymore? Or do you expect a first officer with a major airline to work in the fields in lieu of a $150K/year job? Many of these airline employees etc are high skill and aren't just going to work at McDonalds.
  4. It isn't being discussed much, but by the middle of October we will probably see the unemployment numbers skyrocketing as the PPP money runs out.
  5. It's common knowledge that Cleveland Clinic tries to avoid Medicaid patients the best they can, so these kinds of policing stats are hardly surprising either.
  6. Here's something you don't see every day...BART cars driving on I 71! I spotted at least 3 headed southbound yesterday on my trip home from Columbus.
  7. I love this to show to the "buses shouldn't be in Public Square" crowd!
  8. Ugh all that gone for a Rally's..... ?
  9. Last I heard the City of Cleveland is doing what it does when it gets caught doing something stupid.....it's hiring a consultant! https://fox8.com/news/i-team/i-team-city-of-cleveland-paying-big-bucks-for-advice-on-recycling-program/

    NPR in depth story on recycling plastic (or lack there of). This makes me really sad. Waste Land https://www.npr.org/2020/09/11/912150085/waste-land https://edge2.pod.npr.org/anon.npr-mp3/npr/pmoney/2020/09/20200911_pmoney_pmpod1032.mp3/20200911_pmoney_pmpod1032.mp3_a7fb26b1d449c9090b705a4203a1b5ff_23633777.mp3?orgId=1&topicId=1150&d=1449&p=510289&story=912150085&t=podcast&e=912150085&dl=1&siteplayer=true&size=23147253&awCollectionId=510289&awEpisodeId=912150085&dl=1&hash_redirect=1&x-total-bytes=23633777&x-ais-classified=download&listeningSessionID=0CD_382_268__8bfe74f6e0e8fc9694fcecbea5b64b73e21a6ae4
  11. I took a cruise up the river the other day. Iphone photos attached focus on the industrial flats south of the innerbelt.
  12. Interesting article on the history of the jet bridge, complete with great old photos! https://www.airporthistory.org/boarding-bridge-1.html
  13. Destination Cleveland had 65 full time staff? Jeeze...
  14. It's a shame so many are demolished. It would be nice if they gave them away (even to a developer) with a promise that the house would be renovated within a certain time period.
  15. I'm sure they haven't heard the last of the Southwest Airlines and concrete construction lobbyists!
  16. True--except that the City of Cleveland is not a very good aviation business manager. They are not ones to be out hustling in Seattle to woo Amazon, or similar business to take up the IX center as a hub. On the Burke Lakefront thread I have pointed out in the past that there are actually the same amount of aviation related businesses at CGF managed by the county than BKL/CLE combined.
  17. Premium members have a 500mb photo capacity. It must be capped at a much lower limit for non-premium members.
  18. WKHS is back over $30 again today. I wish I would have bought some at $12 a couple months ago--kept waiting for it to drop
  19. Yay. We're #1. Fill out your census people! Cleveland overtakes Detroit as poorest big city in U.S., census finds https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2020/09/17/cleveland-overtakes-detroit-poorest-big-city-u-s-census/3476269001/
  20. My guess is the parking lobby that run the existing lots would fight this tooth and nail.
  21. Old Stone Church on Public Square turns 200 this weekend. https://www.freshwatercleveland.com/features/OldStoneBirthday091720.aspx
  22. I don't see why not. It has acres of open floor space with widely spaced columns, all with air, highway and rail access.
  23. What will be tough to make work are the labor costs, which are staggeringly higher at the Huntington Convention center vs the IX (which was non-union).

    And our lowly Cavaliers swept the Nuggets during the "regular" season this year.
