FLEET BIKE

cleveland heights speed trap YELESEYEVSKY DELI (haven't been inside (if there's baltika i will), just commenting on the world-class signage)

are you going to be working at metro? I know a resident who lives on Tr0wbridge (don't want her googling) in a nice house very close to the hospital, in an area deemed ghetto (west of 25th). I could chance Corning. I usually park on the street and haven't had a break in in two years *knock on wood*

cedar fairmount might be a good bet if you are going to be spending a lot of time on the south side of case

my mom said she saw the hot in cleveland ladies today and that they look the same in real life as in on tv.

cool, i look forward to meeting other urbanohioans. i think i know only one regular poster in person, and one who disappeared.

^i did this ride, you can see me in the vid at 5:13, wearing sky blue chuck taylors, and on the phone. really safe, right. i was on the phone a good amount of the time trying to get my coworker in on the ride, but she was trailing by a couple blocks almost the entire way. luckily she found the ride almost at the very end, on w73. next time i should make an urbanohio sign and hold it up so i can meet ppl.

^i did pedal for prizes but didn't win anything :( but my friend got a $50 gift cert.

i also never offer that i am from Ohio first, always Cleveland first. i think my self-identification is as follows in order of importance: Clevelander American (Slovenian/Polish-American) NEOhioan . . . . Ohioan Oh and I think Cleveland rules. The only other place I've lived in was Toledo, and it was not fun. A good place to be in a demanding academic program, since you don't really miss all that much when studying all the time. But maybe I'm being provincial when it comes to my opinion of Cleveland.

there's a walmart, target, and giant eagle in close proximity around parmatown, so a giant eagle wouldn't be out of the question, right?

yes, it was my first critical mass. it was a lot of fun, as was the afterparty. i planned on doing them last year but something always came up: getting locked out of my house, flat tires, trips, unpredictable work schedule... i did do tweed ride last year, and this year also, which was the day after critical mass. i'm planning on doing pedal for prizes. thanks for appreciating my beard-itude.

^i'm sure that everyone wants to know that i'm at 3:48-3:51 of the lower video

what did they expect? western lake county peaked in population in 1970, and is full of eastern european or italian grandparents. it may be out-county, but it's still inner-ring, with only euclid separating wickliffe and willowick from collinwood. it's 3.9 miles from the county line to east 185th along I-90. also, the article mentions growth to the east being "two counties out" referring to geauga, which is immediately east of cuy, and portage which is opposite cuyahoga at a "four corners." the writer probably thinks you need to travel through lake county to get to geauga from cuy, for some reason.

i can't verify who lives around st vitus church now, but they do offer slovenian language courses for children and adults

Cleveland's Slovenians followed St. Clair out east from the area around E. 55th to Lake County. My grandparents did the St. Clair to Collinwood to Wickliffe move over a 30 year period. Cleveland's Polish are heavy in the south suburbs. Brooklyn Heights to Brecksville and everything in between.

you're off by a factor of ten on the size of indy

downtown willoughby was my immediate reaction and your familiarity with the area makes the suggestion even better

The administration seems to drive students toward the Southwyck part of town, toward Springfield township, along Heatherdowns and Glendale, southwest of campus. I lived over there the first year of med school. When my lease was finished I found a house on craigslist in the Old Orchard neighborhood which I enjoyed a lot more than living in a semi-rural part of town. I vote for living near the main campus. The area around the health campus is dumpy/depressing with car break-ins, occasional gunshots. Half of a large nearby apartment complex burned down while i was in school there because someone set fireworks off inside. Old West End is nice too, close to St Vincent's hospital where you will probably be rotating, and a short drive on 25 (multilane higher speed highway with at-grade crossings) from the health campus. Living in "northern Toledo" will be closer for you when you return from the D. The extra 20 minutes getting to the area southwest of campus got irritating (I went to Detroit a lot while living there). And it's closer to Ann Arbor. "Northern Toledo" (in quotes) is referred to as West Toledo by locals because the north-south axis is the Maumee River which runs diagonally.

personal anecdote time my grandpa's house in seven hills had 5 people living there in the 70s, 1 now my dad's house in seven hills had 3 people in the early 80s, 1 now my grandma's house in wickliffe had 3 people in the 80s, 1 now my mom's house in wickliffe had 2 people in the 90s, 1 now (and 3 previously before she bought it). there hasn't been any change of homeownership between the dates mentioned and today this is just an increase of one-person households due to empty-nesting, divorce, and aging

actually, halle berry was named after the halle department store

anthony's? spuzzillo's?

ultra was in one of the hotels at the I-90 Euclid Avenue exit in Wickliffe the cos(mopolitan) is/was? at 91 and Euclid in Willoughby

this isn't on the way to work (lake co right?) but jack frost donuts on the corner of pearl and fulton are killer
