the pope

i'm just quoting this to re-emphasize

the hungarian historical musuem finds your comments in bad taste

funny, i thought you would have said the galleria yeah the kc proposal includes a decent rennovation of arrowhead, i'm trying to dig up the article to see if it separates costs. And believe the nfl gave them the superbowl in the next 5 or six years (contigent obviously)

really not much. A few of the mega-concerts end up there (U2, rolling stones) and the occasional sporting event (ncaa bball, hs football, blah blah blah) also, i know arrowhead stadium is looking at adding a dome (give me a day i'll find something concrete) and they are looking at a 450 million pricetag........

^lansing

1) only 90 million? 2) i think we've established its not worth clevelan blowing its wad to host an event every 10-15 years

wow, a new high

i really don't have a single story like this, nor have ever heard one. Though it doesn't beat my playstation 2 i bought on the streets of baltimore

excellent use of the professor/graduate smiley rob

I've performed with the cleveland orchestra, does that make me cool?

^oh yeah, whoops beer company, not brewing. The zoo shuttle stop was only about a 20 minute wait.....I guess the 10 buck parking scared away people (i walked to it)

well at least parking isn't the focal point.......

because cbs sportsline picked us as the chic pick to win the central

^and it would make sense that some more public money would be available

oh, "the akron vulcanizers"

well if they do go with akron, at least the city does have some national name recognition....

come on baseball is soo close......who is excited?

wasn't csu's viking field considered for a a while or something?

another similarity (which some have already touched on) to The Rencen: Complete lack of human scale.

oh yeah, there was a point to my story, after standing at the platform for a while, KJPs graphic demonstrates how amazingly obvious and easy/simple some of these TOD projects could be. Especially since i did really nothing but stare at the empty lots and the standing housing stock.

Yeah, so i was in detroit for SBXL. I arrived downtown on Saturday at about 6:30 p.m. I didn't get home until 9:30 a.m. sunday morning. I got drunk, took very few pictures (b/c i was drunk), saw DT, New-Tony and Michi in there somewhere, ate some hot dogs, got drunk, and i think that's where these pictures pick up at According to my camera timestamp, this was at 2:50 AM at the Detroit Brewing Co. Then there's a few hour gap in time where i went into the casino (and yes DT, NT and Michi i finally got in) Next thing you know, i'm eating breakfast at the au bon pain downtown (7:16 AM) Then it seems like a good idea to keep drinking, (8:16 am) i couldn't even tell what building we are hanging out in front of, somewhere behind the millinder (those are two of my buds) so with our beers ready, we head over to the RenCen to see if ESPN is filming anything at 8:46 in the morning, sure enough its The Sports Reporters john saunders! (or whatever his name is) michael wilbon and finally, my buddy tony and jon saunders (who for some odd reason wears a toronto raptors jacket, asked where he got it, he responded "a friend gave it to me", i'm also sure by know we smelt like some rank booze) that's all i know, the camera is the best source of pieceing together the night.

well from the windows i think 70s, from the shape, i think "la defense" ditto on the rencen. i've always joked it looked like a spaceship, apparently this is the rencen go-botting (yes there are jews in louisville) into its other form Regardless, if i'm ever near louisville when its completed, i absolutely have to stop to see it.

ended up calling a friend. I explained my situation to a few other dead train operaters who stopped to contemplate a random white guy standing on a platform. They basically told me "call a cab" and "sucks to be you"

i once mistakenly got on a dead train that went only to E. 79th, at 12 at night. Once there, the driver told me tough luck. That was not fun.

by "by build on mall X" you don't mean literally, do you?
