  1. i am sure he means craptastic in the sense of where its located and layout
  2. Yes. The impressions (eyeballs) and web traffic for sports content is much higher than anything else. And when a big part of their revenue is tied to monetizing those web impressions via banner ads, it's no surprise that they play up the sports stuff. Plus, now that they are "digital first" company, they are forced to repurpose the stuff for the web into the print side.
  3. I am fine with reporting on it on the front page, but they treat it like "man lands on moon"
  4. Does anyone know what is the latest news on Warner swasey?
  5. this doesnt sound like any government i know
  6. ^BTW not sure if you heard or not but Lakewood patch and all patch sites are closing down by months end. I actually really liked the sites sad to hear of their closing shop, they did a great job of cultivating a hyper local community
  7. Big G Baby! Buddies and I just went online and bought 8 tix for tomorrow.
  8. is that decision up to the mall manager or the actual owners? to me that decision would likely come from someone higher up. Regardless, they need to make a decision and own it already.
  9. Their presence here stems from BOAs takeover of MBNA. It wasn't a conscience decision to have people here.
  10. It is all in how you want to position things...yes we led the nation in volume of jobs lost, but we're also one of the largest population areas tracked, Top 20. Proportionally-speaking, which is probably the right way to view things, it is a small % drop that doesn't place us anywhere near the worst.
  11. Does anyone know if there are ways to seal bricks now that can prevent this sort of dirt/pollution buildup?
  12. Is it still leaking? That was part of the problem
  13. Where exactly is this located?
  14. This is very true. Attendance is a MLB problem, not just Cleveland. Then you have a commissioner coming through substance abuse scandals and bragging about attendance figures being up, fully exposing himself as a 20th century "old guard" thinker. Sports are now built on television and ratings. Hockey has amazing attendance, but still barely makes a dent on the American radar as a fourth sport. The NFL kicks all them to the curb, and it's largely been built on TV deals--not butts in seats. I follow the local ratings very closely as it is part of my job, and the numbers are up slightly over what I had projected based on a rolling average over the last few years. Through May the A35+ Live+7 numbers were 4.0 rating average per game, which was up over my projected 3.5. In June, the number has increased to 4.4 rating. So at least by one indicator, interest in the team is growing.
  15. serious question: can they do this while the owner is under investigation by the FBI?

    Some of it isn't so bad. Does anyone know the name of that slow, dim-witted cartoon character Kiley & Booms pattern after Browns management? It makes me laugh every time they play the sound clip...

  18. looks like the tree perched atop the Truman building has its own Twitter account: @TrumanTree

    this link suggests a weekend attendance of 40,000, so does that translate to 20,000 hotel rooms?? http://www.hotelplanner.com/Event-Hotels/5975-For-NBA-All-Star-Game-2013-February-15-2013-in-Houston-TX
  20. Is there actual merit to your claims KJP? I can't tell if you are speculating or stating fact. It would be a great story, and perhaps something that could be done with a claim to public records/emails surrounding the City of Cleveland landmark commission?
