    i had no idea this was MTSBlog.com
  2. You guys wanna discuss a three year old Brooking's Institution Report, Do it elsewhere.
  3. To add on from my experience that the two big numbers larger retailers/services look for is 20,000 - 30,000 Residential population and 100,000+ Worker population (which Cleveland already has). There's clearly other factors to be looked at, household income, % with college degree, etc.
  4. I swear I saw a contractor type sneak into 668 Yesterday afternoon. Either that or he was a ghost.
  5. I've always believed this to be a racket for banks, where they purposely process the large items first, and the little ones later, and thereby racking up the overdraft fees like no other.
  6. IOOF's will always have a special place in my heart. Why, I don't know.
  7. thank you for the highlighting, that made my day.
  8. Because he's an admin, and yes there is a double standard. Also, you were the last post on that subject (until now), it seemed a good point to put a stop on the subject.
  9. I would feel insulted. But then again, I had Maya Angelou and I was insulted too.
  10. Funny, I thought this thread was about Cleveland, and not some bridge in Toledo.......
  11. first thought, are those the elevator banks against those? Engineering could have been a factor too Nothing against you, but hell no. Wyland is shameless self promoter, those are nothing but giant advertisements for his work and gallery. When a building owner in Detroit tried to cover one up with an advertisement for the 2005 All Star Game, Wyland chimed in and threatened to sue claiming "historic significance" of his mural. Funny thing is, that the building it was on predated his sh!t by about 55 years. [/rant]
  12. Indy is deceiving because of their small stadium. Look at the % of capacity statistic, that gives a good idea of the team's true attendance. Same with detroit, they purposely built a smaller stadium to avoid blackouts (long story and reason short)
  13. Funny, I spend a lot of time on Euclid, and I've never heard a catcall....I have caught them ogling, but that's about it.
  14. God, who is that MayDay fellow from SSP? We should get him to help out over here....
  15. You explain to me how a 1000 ft skyscraper creates urbanity. Key tower sure didn't create it.
  16. the pope replied to a post in a topic in General Photos
    Everybody's favorite art school:
  17. I'm not trying to stray away, but I'm having a hard time finding a real hierarchy here.. Oakland Press > Sun Press > Detroit Free Press > UrbanOhio > Plain Dealer > DetroitYes > Detroit News > Jesus
  18. what about the circles on the east side, 3 of which on gates mills blvd (at shaker & brainard, lander & fairmount, and som ctr), and chagrin & lander. i feel like these are easily navigable, except that my mom always freaks out while driving thru. ...so maybe not? I wouldn't even know where to find the figures, but I'm willing to bet the volume of Ontario is about 25X that of those other intersections. And fairmount circle isn't even a real traffic circle....
  19. Don't forget you have federal routes running through here....
  20. you are so losing me on all of this.
  21. I'm glad the phrase "Asshat" has made it into Mayday's Photoshop Vocabulary.

    Point is, It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand, If you love Halle so much, go write about at the C-dawg Blog.
  23. waiting for a post to say "you aren't thinking big enough", "this is why cleveland is small", "wah wah wah", "you make cleveland sports teams keep losing"
  24. Given your CompE background at case, that almost sounds sexual.
