Ultimate Air is suspending Cincinnati and Nashville---and all of their routes systemwide on the shuttle---til around Spring citing pandemic impacts to their business. https://ultimateairshuttle.com/

Airports on water are generally preferable to landlocked facilities as there are fewer operations when most events occur over populated areas. Regarding the beverage guy from Columbus who crashed into Lake Erie that was considered pilot error and if that was not into the lake it could well have been into a skyscraper or a house or street traffic.

^Is that from Oct 30th at the Q?

I really don't think weather is such a big deal as some make it out to be. Yes, when you're 90 you feel the cold more, so you move south. But younger people move by the millions from warm places to the north as the north is more developed than the south. How many Dominicans in NYC or Mexicans in Chicago or Africans in France or England? It happens every day and its not a big deal. Yeah its cold for a few months but overall lives are better. I think many in Cleveland make it a bigger deal than do the people who actually make such moves.

It's hard to reproduce if your cousin has moved away.

The 2020 Census results are questionable from covid messing up things where people would normally be to the shenanigans by the Trump administration. I would love see a mid-decennial census on April 1, 2025---as by then (hopefully) Covid movements will have settled including any lasting work from home patterns. We could then have a better picture of how things really are in the city. Even if 2020 was accurate, 2025 may be a very different city given the development between 2020 and 2025 and from the longer-term effects of covid. We had a Special Census in '65 of certain neighborhoods done by the Census Bureau, so a mid-Census census of the city is not unprecedented. EDIT: I just looked for and found it. Here's a copy of the Special Census if anyone is interested: https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/1967/demographics/p23-021.pdf

^from the article: "As of now, Day & Night plans to open at 8 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. After the first month, management is considering a change to 24-hour-service after getting an idea of how customers are flowing into the new location. The development occurs right next to the former Crop Kitchen space in the historic United Bank Building, part of which is being turned into the Bartleby Supper Club by a group of Northeast Ohio restaurateurs." A 24-hour place across the street from Intro will be great for who live there adding to the desirability of the spot.

and with balconies!

if no such option, then any city could claim a cop was present, no? where is the accountability and law in this?

When you get the ticket in the mail how would you know whether or not a cop was sitting there at the time of the incident? If a cop is there SOMETIMES, then a city could claim a cop was there at ANY time (or all times). Is the way to contest it to go to court and see if the cop shows up? And even if he does, can't he just be saying it? This all seems very shady.

Always good to see an out of town acquisition being done by a Cleveland company instead of a Cleveland company being acquired by an out of town company which happens all to often. "KeyBank is adding to its presence in Charlotte with the acquisition of local financial-technology company, XUP Payments...." https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2021/11/23/keybank-acquires-xup-payments-fintech-growth.html

^That's precisely the issue. Issue #24 will make many officers afraid to do the right thing because something may inevitably go wrong, and rather than viewing the situation from a police operations perspective, non-police "citizens" will make the call whether or not they are fired or whatever. And the mayor himself can't even fully run his own police force. It makes no sense and even less sense that Bibb supported it. That's why its gonna be a very rough four years with that kind of "leadership" at city hall.

Man, that photo is making me very hungry. I definitely want to try this place.

"...The plant currently....processes more than 800 tons of steel per day....." That's a lot of steel. Does that mean 800 tons roll in and out of there each day on average? Does that much move in each day? Is there a rail spur? Or is it all by truck? That's huge volume.

Don't worry. Justin Bibb will fix this. He's got plenty of experience and real, implementable and effective solutions.

There was a plan somewhere I saw recently that rerouted the Red Line between Tower City and E 34 Street to run through more of Downtown so that it would serve E. 9 St, CSU and Tri-C. It was a very simple yet very effective rerouting. Not sure if its happening or what, but I hope so.

And for those who say Ohio isn't backwards, just look at the company we share, with the exception of New Hampshire: "....More than half of these United States have filed suit against Joe Biden’s administration over its mandate that private companies with more than 100 employees implement either a coronavirus vaccine mandate or regular testing protocols. Attorneys general for 26 states joined multiple lawsuits challenging the mandate from the Department of Labor, which holds that private companies must comply by Jan. 4. Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming filed suit together. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia also sued, either individually or jointly...." yep, we fit right in. Move your business or open a plant in a state like Ohio or South Carolina or Alabama where many workers may be out sick for a long periods of time and raise your health insurance premiums or move to a smarter state like New York or Massachusetts. https://www.thedailybeast.com/26-states-file-suit-against-biden-administration-to-block-coronavirus-vaccine-mandates

I'm very disappointed, but it was the outcome I expected given the primary results. I hope he proves my fears wrong.

Speaking of #2 on that list, Kroger: "Thirty-six years after leaving Northeast Ohio, the Kroger Co. is positioning itself to re-enter the market — with a much different product. The Cincinnati-based grocer is eying a deal in Oakwood, near the southeastern edge of Cuyahoga County. Real estate sources say the proposed development is a high-tech fulfillment center capable of offering grocery delivery to households up to 90 miles away...." https://www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/kroger-eying-northeast-ohio-high-tech-grocery-delivery-hub

Its only personal in that the city in which I love and lived in all my life is threatened. The substantive points I've made are generally ignored here, or people can't understand them. They are provided by Bibb himself when he opens his mouth. That last debate was very demonstrative of his cluelessness though Bibbers refuse to see it and instead spin the debate as Kelley condescension.

Yeah, call someone a conspiracy theorist when you don't like the information presented. It was even on cleveland.com--or are you claiming the PD is fake news? Cleveland mayoral candidate Justin Bibb underreported income sources for 3 years in state ethics disclosure filings https://www.cleveland.com/cityhall/2021/08/cleveland-mayoral-candidate-justin-bibb-underreported-income-sources-for-3-years-in-state-ethics-disclosure-filings.html

So? Bibb also filed on a legal ethics disclosure form when RTA wanted to know what money he was getting from where in addition to the money he was getting from RTA and he completed the form to show that he had no other sources of money than what he was getting from RTA as a board member. It was completely untrue. (And if you believe that a former Key Bank employee with a CWRU law degree doesn't quite understand how to fill out a financial disclosure form, which is what Bibb claimed when he got busted, then, well, you likely don't want to see the truth.) So, who knows where re really lives vs what he's telling people. Maybe he tells people the Lumen to impress certain people. Or maybe he actually lives there. Or maybe he did and just moved out. I don't know where Bibb lives. I had just heard it was the Lumen, and never heard that before so thought I would share. Either way, Lumen or 1717 E. 9 (former East Ohio Gas Bldg), both are high-rent places, not quite the poor, struggling Mt. Pleasant story he aligns himself to to voters.

I don't hate Bibb. I think he would be an absolute disaster as mayor and that would really hurt the city. But I have absolutely no hatred for him (or anyone) personally.

That hasn't been my experience, but I live on the west side where, in general, things are better than some East Side areas. I've lived in the city my entire life and watched it decline year after year. Around five years ago, I'd say things looked like we finally hit the bottom. We were finally at a turning point. Yes, even under Jackson. That's why I find Bibb so frightening. If he wins today, that upward momentum that we finally got after 50 or 60 years will disappear and we will return to the downward trend. And then who knows how far it will go. If he wins, I may seriously look at selling my house as soon as possible as the value will begin to decrease. I have two more years before I can retire, after that I may leave Cleveland altogether and head to North Carolina or something as the mess from the city will spill into the suburbs as well.

Bibb lives on the 29th floor of the Lumen? Yeah, he's a man of the people.
