^the cavs lease with gund arena is somewhere around 24 more years left

^actually the local media says quicken and rock will be part of the same building

yeah, hypothetically this could be a nice 1-2-3 combo for detroit in a five year period. 1) compuware 4000k jobs 2) visteon IT 400 jobs 3) quicken loans/rock financial 3000 jobs. i hope livonia dies a slow painful death.

wow, a ferry running between two towns i've never heard of after actually looking at a map, am i led to believe this would be in competition to the port stanely to cleveland ferry?

re 1: certainly so re 2: I think some people got a little ahead of themselves re 3: also very true, i'd also love to see livonia lose 3000 jobs to detroit given livonia's history

still speculation, but this doesn't look well for cleveland: http://www.detnews.com/2005/business/0511/06/D01-372823.htm Rock Financial eyes Detroit HQ Livonia firm may need new hub when lease is up; some say site could be former downtown Hudson's. By R.J. King / The Detroit News DETROIT -- Livonia-based Rock Financial/Quicken Loans Inc., one of Metro Detroit's fastest growing companies, is scouting locations for a new headquarters including the site of the former Hudson's department store downtown, according to people familiar with the plans. Rock Financial on Friday confirmed it may need a larger headquarters when the lease on its Livonia headquarters expires in four years. The company, which has 3,400 employees and is hiring about 200 employees per month, also has workers in Auburn Hills, Farmington Hills and Troy.

salvation army didn't have red sweaters

its not telling anyone how to live their lives specificly but it does affect multiple parties: smokers, non-smokers, restaurant/bar employees, restaurant/bar owners, tobacco companies, insurance companies, etc (whether positively or negatively, i'm not here to debate that)

^or we are convinced that government should not be legislating how we live our lives

when i'm in columbus i'm not going to drive to dayton just to light up even when i'm in ontario, i'm not going to select a bar because it has a patio (and they have some pretty awesome ones there, for use in the winter), but if i end up a bar with smoking accomodations, so be it

god bless google and the use of " " i idiotly googled cleveland junkie without the quotations

hey, random question. One of my friends has a red shirt that reads "cleveland junkie" and its two union terminals crossed in an X with syringe like apparati at the ends of them. Anyone ever seen the tshirt? or know where to get it?

i believe that this should be a local government issue, not a state one. much like the strip club legistlation

i just remember a few of the nicer (looking?) couldn't be used b/c they hadn't seen action in any markets with snowfall like clevelands.

yeah, there better be some hella streetscaping to make this look like more than a glorified six (and yes i am familiar with the renderings/designs) still i'm waiting to see the finished product before i become a pundit

that was pretty hillarious footage if you ask me, kudos to drunk guy for making me laugh

i am more inspired to wander around cincinnati more now

have patience for the big lot on euclid (unless you were being sarcastic)

neat concept. regardless of content, i'm a sucker for well put together local magazines

but UCI does have a reputation as being bad property owners (i.e. demolition), from the local residents, whether its true or not, you ask some of long time UC residents, and they really dislike UCI [/broad generalization] And really i think hessler only has a handful of the left over hippies. For the most part, its all rental housing for students.

wow, the brownies are three point underdogs against the texans. A team that has never held a lead in any football game at any time during the season

yeah, the burj is one crazy project, in fact all of their skyscrapers are crazy projects. Regardless, they are compliling quite a bad-ass modern skyline.

as long as the sportzone and the fairgrounds are still intact, that's all i care about

i glanced through their website, and it seems the really are expanding at a fairly rapid rate, four new stores between michigan and ohio in less than three months
