  1. ^wait, so the Federal Government is propping up Cuyahoga County with tax subsidies that Lorain County Doesn't get?
  2. I do this ever year the day of thanksgiving, wee. Not many photos, it was blazing cold. Everyone's favorite indiana limestone art deco skyscraper! (Who is in the Christmas Spirit) Looking up woodward There's our tree, yay! Tree and Art Deco! The water stays on year round (its heated). Usually he shoots up jets 50ft in the air or whatever, but there's a tree in the way. The Old Water Board Building Like a wedding cake Compuware, the big suburban company that moved in 2001, sooned to be joined by another 4,000 employees Detroit's Soldier & Sailors Merchant's Row, rehab-tastic Such happy styles of Architecture (one in the far back is Yamasaki, the WTC guy) okay bye, enjoy the rest of your holiday!
  3. Funny that MRN is moving into a building that is not theirs.....
  4. If there's one thing that truly matters to conventions its contiguous usable space, basketball court>IX Center? I don't think so.

    ha, I can totally see it from your perspective given the BJ's Short and Bad history.

    i'm sorry, "playoff pace"? Its not even March yet.
  7. and Jeff, that 2nd Crosswalk was a relatively new phenomena (maybe put in in 2000?)
  8. ^anecdotally, detroit actually used the MQ methodology and applied to downtown only. Turns out, detroit has one of the top 10 safest downtowns.
  9. if L. Kahn were alive today, he'd say "light is not architecture"
  10. that's good to hear, Sushi on the Square really really really let things slip when I lived on the square back in 2002. Sloppily prepared food multiple times had never going back.
  11. Chicago's reporting doesn't conform with FBI standards. As far as I know (which I don't), they legally shouldn't be doing it that way, but its not like that's ever stopped our favorite political family in chicago from doing something.
  12. And don't think this isn't intentional. (at least that's what my smell test says and I have absolutely no facts to back this up.) Either way, I'm off to St. Louis to commit a few felonies to bump detroit down to #2
  13. well considering that Feagler doesn't even know a bus runs up and down euclid in the first place, I doubt he'll call you on that.
  14. the pope replied to a post in a topic in Roads & Biking
    you are going to have to translate the acronyms for me
  15. yeah, if there's a "C" they should use, I would have leaned towards that one.
  16. riverside=where the airport bought the land, looks a lot like brook park.
  17. actually i thought the #6 - Euclid wasn't the number one bus in the city, could be wrong.
  18. no his criticism is far, i rarely contribute more than one line.
  19. the pope replied to ColDayMan's post in a topic in Sports Talk
    well it didn't turn out to be that way, but why did the booth initially say the kick can't be reviewed?
  20. I just met someone from the Hat Factory and his location (in the back) is perfectly fine noisewise. Not disagreeing with you, it just goes to show that location within the building means a lot.
  21. speaking of that area, I wonder if the Euc will bring bag a similar burgers and wings menu
  22. reminds that i haven't been to parnell's in a while.....
  23. from my perspective it seemed willful, and she just made the same order not less than 30 minutes previous. It was like she was looking over her shoulder to see if I noticed and I saw it out of the corner of my eye. The place was not busy. (and yes I was tipsy when I posted that)
  24. Wonder Bar Sucks I've never been over impressed with the place, but this story ruined it for me: Round 1 of drinks: All good, Stella and a Greyhound Martini (Grey Goose and grapefruit) Round 2 of Drinks: Same order, but the bitch behind the bar (you know the mildly attractive one if I'm 12 beers deep and she weren't wearing a top thats frumpy and only looks good on pregnant people), uses stoli instead of grey goose in the greyhound martini. I have nothing against Stoli, its a fine vodka. But you put Stoli toe-to-toe against Grey Goose, and its going to lose. Its like she was trying to sneak it by me while I wasn't paying attention. I mean the cost difference between Grey Goose and Stoli is minimal right? You just saved your boss (your dad i think), 25 cents by pulling the old "switcheroo"? You just made the same drink 30 minutes ago.... Maybe the Free Times was right in calling you guys a bunch of cheap bastards and nickel-and-diming the customers for every little last bit. Up yours Wonder Bar
  25. is this a situation of state/federal tax credits dictating the units must be rental for 5 years?
