I greatly appreciate all the advice I've received, and I've thanked each contributor accordingly. As for that message being "humor", well we all have our idea of what's funny. Of course I realize that in his mind, he was just throwing in a little light-hearted aside. I can clearly see your point of view: some guy out of the blue comes in and "slams" a good forum regular. But if you can't see the childish underpinnings to his message, then you'll be unable to see this from my point of view. If you could set aside your bias for site regulars you might see how his comment was, at best, ungracious and pointless; at worst, vaguely invidious. As for whether or not disclosing info to me could undermine his own efforts/position, I apologize, and should give him the benefit of the doubt, as I'm probably naive about that issue.

I write for another publication in town. It's silly to be so territorial and secretive, unless you happen to be coincidentally working on a similar project now or in the near future. Do you imagine that you have so much to lose? Besides, I'm going to produce the article whether you help me or not--doesn't it make sense for writers to support each other? But in the bigger picture, why post that message at all? How can that be anything but mildly annoying to me? What was the point?

You might try talking to one of the guys at Progressive Urban Real Estate. http://www.progressiveurban.com/homepage_hires.htm Try to talk to Keith Brown or David Sharkey. Your might also try the Living in Cleveland Center, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Historic Warehouse District Development Corp, or Historic Gateway Development Corp. Google them for a web address. Thank you very much.

I'd help you out, tom2323, but you're a competitor. So my secrets stay with me!! Competitor in what way?

Hi, I need some advice. I live in Beachwood, and I've only lived in the Cleveland area for 5 years--not too familiar with downtown. I'm writing 2 articles for a new Cleveland magazine. One is about luxury living downtown--I've tried to reach Scott Wolstein and the Maron brothers, without luck so far (haven't tried too hard). Wondering if anyone can recommend a person who would be a good source for such an article--someone accessible! Someone who could speak knowledgeably about living downtown, and who is pro-Cleveland all the way. The other story is a shorter one, where I'm to talk with one or more concierges about downtown life--maybe little anecdotes about lives of the well-to-do. Many thanks for anyone who can take the time to reply. Tom

Hi, Just wondering, does LeBron still live at the Pinnacle?
