3 Dog Pat

Yeah, he has earned my benefit of the doubt. We needed a third baseman, especially if Boone continues to slide

I thought Jacob's owned the Halle last time I checked. I know he has been unloading properties over the past few years, when did FCE buy it. Or did they always own it?

Franks first imprint on the city. great

I am upset on the whole backroom deal aspect of this. The northern alignment will scar downtown for a few more generations, but the politicians must have gotten something. I called Voinovich's office. Told them I thought that after this meeting, now I think that maybe Modell was not lying when he said that Voinovich told him to move the Browns

Elected officials back state plan for Inner Belt Thursday, January 26, 2006 James Ewinger Plain Dealer Reporter The Ohio Department of Transportation got what it wanted this week when a handful of elected officials blessed the state's plan for a second Inner Belt bridge north of the current span...

I think Stark himself called it "new suburbanism"

I think the one thing that is missing from UC is the local entrepreneur. All of the projects are government or foundation driven. Almost all of the projects will produce buildings that will be closed at 9pm. What I think he is pressuring the powers that be is to direct some energy to creating a neighborhood, something like a Coventry. Music venues, record stores, head shops (just for him), bars, 24hour taco stands...messy the place up a bit and let some life into the area. That said, I think Chris is the man to get that done.

Well, are any whorehouses on the drawing board? Seriously, I think he wants to see a bit of W. 6th street in noble UC

Have they put a pricetag on how much development will happen, or are they still planning what they want?

10-4..the Avenue not the Avenues :-)

Renamed the thread

there was a skit on a chicago radio station today, sort of making fun of the ranking. BUT, they explained it was becasue of the municipal broadband networks Cleveland "is the most technologially advanced city in this area" There is no such thing as bad publicity (unless it is #1 poorest)

btw where were those fountains located?? Mall B, where the grass patch is now, with the cool "windblown" scuptures. If I am not mistaken...I think the fountains only were operational for one year. But I might be wrong. I know they stayed around for a LONG time, empty and rusting

How close is the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to any of the Metroparks....I know the towpath will be a sort-of extension of it

3% would give 626,291.1282

I heard there was a math problem If you started with a population of 480,000 and you had a continuous 4% increase in population each year for ten years, the end population would be 683,189.67 yes, Cleveland would have two thirds of a person along with the 683,189 people.

There is a connection between mental illness and homelessness. That is not to say everyone who is homeless has a mental illness, or that everyone who has a mental illness is homeless, but there is definitely a higher percentage.

There has to be some psychology to hospital architecture. Solid, sturdy, harmless...boring. Or am I wrong?

Cleveland surely is a plum :-)

^a half-step nicer than Subway

I am still going with Brownsville (ala Wrigleyville, since there is no gum sponsor for Cleveland Browns Stadium) maybe it will be called what it is the "old port" neighborhood

Ohio State

She is too busy trying to start her own political machine, (i.e. Cleveland Mayor, etc.)she has no time to actually work on behalf of her constituants.

The police would not be involved. These are civil penalties," Ms. Sabetta said. "We're not looking at creating any kind of smoking police here." Huh? Isn't that exactly why you put something into law?

I work for a automotive supplier, and our Asian companies want nothing to do with unions. At the same time, one large consideration they give on whether to award supplier business is how well the supplier treats their employees. I know we had some people from Toyota visit one of our plants. The first thing they looked at when they got to the floor was the condition of the bathrooms. They believe if you treat your employees right, they will be happy and productive. Asian companies are really just afraid of union politics, and well to be honest, the more unhappy a plant is, the stronger the union is. If you like your job in a strong union plant, you are not very popular. The Cleveland area will never land an Asian manufacturing company, just refer to all the elected leaders reactions to Wal-Mart coming in.
