  1. Goddammit Kids. Go Create a Cleveland Hotel Economy Thread.
  2. Yes, it was Demetrio's, the former "Mr. Steak" from years ago. It will be a Costco and a Best Buy with outlots available. Nothing says "quality development", quite like "outlots"
  3. I've been riding the rapids for 35 years and have yet to see a homeless person on the train. I've seen plenty of people who look/smell homeless. Though I've never taken the time to ask if they really were. Back on Topic, why are we wasting JMasek's time with this prattling?
  4. Just to double check, by "next may" you mean May 2009? If so....groan...
  5. No, it wasn't me. It was my era though.
  6. Seriously, it should have been called "CWRUtube" I wonder if they'll put up the episode of Dr. Oc's class where the caller gets him to flip out on air.
  7. I put it on my calendar, hopefully i can remember.

  9. Search is a wonderful function. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2840.0.html

    For my daily commute now, I cross the street.

    and I didn't even know fort lauderdale had a skyline....
  12. wah wah, "it would be taller than the church"? So flippin' what. I understand that Holy Rosary is a huge part of the community, but to be against a building because it would be taller than a church is absurd. Grow up Little Italy, change is coming, and its been happening for years (as reflected in your last census where less than 20% claim Italian ancestry).
  13. Hmm...I never got that vibe in Plymouth. Anywho, welcome to the site. I'm a former Ferndale resident myself.

    I'm still mad my last one received no comments, I thought it was funny. Anywho, Dirigible hooo!
  15. I'm a big fan of ESPN's game scores (methodology at the bottom): http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/bestgames
  16. two hours? You're getting slow in your......
  17. ECTP is aware of the irritation. Fences and barricades have been removed by people as shortcuts. Today, ECTP directed several construction supervisors to personally review the situation and see what can be done to improve it. Feel free to let me know what changes you see and if they improve the situation. Situation was remedied yesterday and today. Yesterday the barricades were re-established, and today signange indicating pedestrian walkway and detours were posted. Thanks JMasek. I completely understand that theres always going to be people knocking and hopping over the orange fences. And i also understand that people are going to be idiots and walk in the street, but I appreciate yours and RTAs/Constructions Cos efforts to make it safer.
  18. isn't it a little unfair to criticize CWRU for a decision made 40 years ago? (regarding sustainability)

    but not that sweet picture of village at E 115th

    disclosure: that's kind of a famous quote from SSP, well the form is. Variations: A city's true greatness is measured by its skyline A city's true greatness is measured by its tallest building A city's true greatness is measured by its ....well you get the idea.
  21. If i heard the news correctly this morning, its going to be on the lawn.
  22. the pope replied to KJP's post in a topic in Mass Transit
    I remember an old statistic, but not the details, something like XX% of sites near the redline are superfund sites... Anyone recall, KJP?
  23. JMasek, Can you guys get the the ECTP construction workers to update the Pedestrian Route, Signage and barricades at the Euclid and 9th Intersection, especially the SE Corner. I know there's always moving pieces and perhaps the Ameritrust site/work complicates things, but there's people walking all over the place, through broken barricades, in the road, everywhere. its been this way for at least a week now.
  24. Didn't really know where to throw this, but I figured some of you transit buffs might enjoy this. Its the report and recommendations for Detroit's Mass Transit Plan in 1926 Its a big file (11MB) so might be a "save as" What Other States didn't do with Rail: http://www.gotdetroit.com/img/transit/transit_study.pdf

    Pope....are you drinking brown liquor again?? Bulldoze my favorite urbanohio subject? [glow=red,2,300]SHAKER SQUARE[/glow] Neva! However, there are still some missing pieces and we could work to make the area's west of the square more integrated. East 116 is being remade and the new university circle area and adjoining station are being addressed, this "triangle" could be an amazing set of continuous neighborhoods and transportation options. I think the duplicating 12/13 service should be eliminated. First, brown liquor before labour day? Second, I'm just saying if there's a station that should be improved via TOD, skip shaker, he's fine and dandy on his own.
