Yes, the list of city coucilmen who opposed the orignial deal and now oppose the new legislation. It was in the PD online version this AM, now I can't find it.

Just fabulous photos. What focal length lens did you use if I may ask? Also, Carew tower and the PNC building look so New Yorkish. I bet you've head that before.

Can't believe that there is no discussion of the Mayor's ongoing LED fiasco. It seems that at least some city councilmen smell blood.

This is not a good omen.

But giant statues of Mary are A-OK... :) Not by me they aren't. I believe that you live your religion through how you live your life, not how long you spend praying to statues in a church. But that philosophical discussion is for the religion thread...... Catholics do not pray to statues. They ask for intercession. Let's not get the Protestants any more confused than they already are.

Hey, it would be a start. At least you would be thinking about it instead of spending all your economic development staff's time, energy and budget chasing biotech jobs from Israel and fool's errand LED jobs from Asia. You might start to look to Michigan, Wisconsin, even exurb Columbus manufacturing that needs to expand. Look, I don't want to get suspended again so I will stop now. Except that there is a reason these jobs went to the suburbs, exurbs, overseas.. chasing biotech is a pretty smart move, what with the Clinic, UH, Case all sitting at the circle. That's the future. You won't see manufacturing jobs back in this region without ties to biotech for the most part. Not to mention manufacturing has been moving away from labor toward automation for a while. I sat in on a discussion at State Chemical a while ago talking about how manufacturing productivity in this region has gone up a good deal while it's labor pool had dropped. Not to mention that the manufacturing jobs that are available in the city are often times hard to actually fill with the residents (talk to employers, you will hear that story more than a few times). So you get an unemployed, uneducated, dispersed population in as competitive a job market as we've had since perhaps the great depression, with few ways out for most. Pretty hopeless situation. The only way to solve it is basically sacrificing multiple generations for the good of the future.. and there's a tough sell if ever there was one. I guess my point is that you won't see a return to a place where a High School diploma affords you a middle class lifestyle as it once did in the manufacturing heyday. So the notion that you just need those kinds of jobs in the city to curb crime, to me, isn't a valid one because it ain't gonna happen. 327's idea is much better. More foot patrols more cops on the beat. Perhaps bring in the bicycle patrols you see in cities like Boston. Amazing how you all are willing to just throw other human beings away in favor of your utopian high tech economy where everybody has an engineering degree. What are you going to do with these people in the mean time? Incarcerate all of them? Because that is what you are going to have to do. If they are not at least marginally employed, they will commit crime.

Agreed. Lock it.

It is simple. Bring low skilled light manufacturing jobs into these neighborhoods (at any cost) within walking or transit distance and watch crime plummet. "at any cost"? ::) I think I know that guy! He used to work with me at Bird Electronics in Solon! Was gainfully employed then.

Correct. Glad to see you are coming around on this issue. Really, just look at the 90's in Cleveand. Look at the crime rates. Look at the neighborhoods.

How is it possible that we are this far down the road with no public renderings?

This is only the begining.

Would sure like to know what the objections of the 6 dissenting Trutees are.

I would prefer to see these installed on the roofs of large structures rather than taking up arrable land.

Why not drop the dredgings where the Windmills are supposed to go? Then the lake Eire wind farm will be on dry land.

I once dated an Antioch (Ohio) graduate. Very attractive, very strange. Like being in a time warp with Alice through the looking glass.

I don't understand why we are casting doubt on the victim. I wold bet a beer at Pat's that the perp/human animal has done this before, probably numerous times, is out on parole, etc. He has likely demonstrated at least once before (isn't once enough?) that he can not be loose in a free society. I am not saying that he is not a human or does not have a soul but for his own sake and for out sake he needs to be permanently incarcerated before someone gets killed. Him and everyone else like him.

Does anyone at Hopkins believe that bringing the 3C railroad into the airport will significanlty increase passenger traffic or will it just shift existing passengers away from driving. That is, would it increase people willing to fly though Cleveland.

Is this thing ever going to get started?

Are there any wharehouse buildings that are not either business occupied or reconfigued into housing? Any underutilized structures?

This whole concept of looking at dismembered bodies is sick. If you enjoy it you are either a creepo or a pre-med student.

Why not just go full bore and set up the galleria as a conservatory with some restaruants. Fill it with victorian plants and flowers, birds, etc. The Garden Center could run it.

Part of what I enjoyed about Case was its small (sort of) size. My physics classes had only 20-30 students, was taught by full professors and you could ask all the questions you wanted to (within reason). Same with calculus. Chemistry was a different storey but I hated chemistry anyway. Upper level engineering classes were also small. Sometimes only a dozen students and a handful of graduate students (they always blew the curve!). The liberal arts classes were even smaller. My Roman History class (taught by "dad" Lang, RIP, brilliant and humble) only had about eight students. It was like having a private tutor! Not all the professors were great, but most were very good, accessible, and interested in their field. Most of my class of '81 left Cleveland, not because we wanted to, but because there were no jobs.

You arn't factoring in depreciation. Your car loses about $2000.00/year in value as it asymptotically approaches $500.00 if it is still running.
