The projects I am working on for Shell in the Gulf of Mexico hit break even at $27 a barrel. If we applied some automotive discipline, we could get that down to $15? https://reports.shell.com/investors-handbook/2018/upstream/deep-water.html

FWIW I was working on huge, sprawling chemical facility for Shell in Pittsburgh, the first permanent structure completed....parking deck. There is a logic to it

Have a certain insurance company purchase the Jake, give the team all sorts of cash to buy, er, win a World Series in return we become the Cleveland Progressives ?

Since its 35 MPH on the west side, is it feasible to put a traffic light at the ramp?

Anyone remember the cost of this idea when the inner belt was being rebuilt? I remember Litt discussing it, but I don't know if ODOT ever really looked at relocating the shoreway at that time

If I recall correctly, the convention center has a "bathtub" foundation

Looking for silver linings, (rather than opportunism) I wonder if the economic packages the federal government is considering, especially for airlines, might include some money for airport construction projects, like Hopkins.

Its upsetting how the city just ghosted a developer who really put some skin into the game. Not returning phone calls is crappy

Hey group - couldn't find a "Cleveland housing" thread, but I had a question. Last time I was home over Christmas, people were telling me the West side housing market was on fire. I was told everyone was bidding more than asking price in order to get a house for sure in Lakewood, and it was beginning in West Park, and other West side neighborhoods. Do I have this right?

New Orleans converted a failed riverfront mall to an outlet center, and its very successful

Thanks @KJP For sharing all your hard work with us on this project over the last few months.

Probably wildly speculating here, but if R&D go to Tower City, I bet HQ goes to Tower City

I can't imagine SW would ever leave the Breen site

From reports Kitchen did seem genuinely surprised that he was being let go, He felt the organization was behind him, maybe he was talking to Dorsey who Felt he could sell the Haslam’s on one more season with Kitchens. Maybe? Im speculating

Can we add trading away draft pics to move up to get Calloway as another blunder? He had great hits, awful misses (some were safe bets, some were just gambles) but most were mediocre.

I am more interested in the power struggle between Dorsey and DePodesta. "Football instincts" vs "Moneyball". An ideal situation is a combination of both gut feel from experience and analytics, but the Haslams have not shown any ability to create a decent situation, much less of an ideal one.

I finally used one of my season tickets for myself today. Had a great time in the first half, until the last minute and a half. Im now bald because I ripped all of my hair out

Dorsey was also responsible for hiring a head coach. He chose someone with half a year experience as an offensive coordinator, and let him be head coach and offensive coordinator. Our top 5 talent team will end the season with a losing record.

Could it be a similar situation like when someone buys a house? You do an inspection, and if you find anything wrong, you tell the current owners to fix it before you buy it SW has such a huge headache on its hands from an acquisition they made years ago, because that company they bought made lead paint, now SW is responsible for for all of the liability stemming from that. Now, is going to purchase the land, I could see them wanting property that is free and clear of any potential problems, like contaminated groundwater, that the corporation may be held liable for, even if it was due to the previous owners. But, this is just my speculation.

Dorsey picked Kitchens because he did not want to be challenged by a strong head coach. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article158155634.html

what does "negative rent growth" meaning rents are less expensive year over year (function of supply / demand?)

The Browns, especially under Haslam, keeps finding ways to embarrass Cleveland

Development would be obviously new, is Daryl hearing that major renovations to the stadium would be part of it as well?

^I may be remembering the name / function of the Cuyahoga and WIlliamsom wrong.

Anyone know if there was there ever anything remarkable on the Jacobs lot? I forget what was there before it was torn down for Ameritrust, but I don't remember it being anything special, as opposed to the county administration building that was imploded for the Standard Oil (Sohio?) building.
