December 4, 20213 yr The forces in Cleveland and beyond that fought for the RRHOF to be in Cleveland should be proud to watch this.
December 5, 20213 yr Watched the entire induction ceremony on HBO Max… really good and really impressed.

December 18, 20213 yr Yeah he didn't get everything perfect, but he really experienced and captured what Cleveland is ... an underrated, livable city with great architecture, culture, parks, sports, and people.

That outlet mall, when first opened, was cute. Now it's pretty basic BUT the views of the city are spectacular.
December 24, 20213 yr This is quite a list to be included in, as most of the hotels are Ritz Carltons and Mandarin Orientals in top global cities, but to top it off our lovely Arcade is the featured photo: When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
December 24, 20213 yr Thanks for sharing, BB. We are so fortunate to enjoy this magnificent space. Shudder to think how many other historic buildings were lost to the bulldozer of modernity. Happy Holidays.

I'm happy to have stayed in 5 of the hotels on the list, including the Hyatt Cleveland.

I’d be curious to see what their current 20 list would be now.
December 27, 20213 yr We’re heading into the depths of winter and nothing annoys me more than the ‘Cleveland Grey’ trope. So for handy reference, here’s a useful map to help remind people that we get sunshine equivalent to southern France, Italy, the Med. If you really want to see grey, dark winters, try some time in the north of England where I’m originally from. My hovercraft is full of eels

December 29, 20213 yr I don't notice the clouds, but I do notice the sun, if that makes sense. I like to see the sun but I don't want it on my skin. My Irish-Scottish-Scandanavian skin doesn't react well to sun. And I recall last March when Cleveland had only two overcast days all month. If that's our climate future, sounds good.

January 10, 20223 yr From the New York Times Morning email: 52 Places for 2022 Bike trails to inspire carbon-conscious travelers. A Black district that is once again distinguishing itself as a cultural center. And a lush archipelago that resists overtourism. These three are among our 52 Places for 2022, an annual Times feature on great travel destinations. This year’s list highlights places where positive change is happening, whether environmental or cultural, and travelers can be part of it. But worthy doesn’t mean tedious. The vistas of Iberá Park in Argentina are stunning, even if you don’t know that the park’s grasslands are crucial to saving the strange-tailed tyrant birds. And the braised artichokes and Burgundy snails served at EDWINS in Cleveland are as much about gastronomy as they are about teaching former prisoners a new trade. See all 52 Places. — Natasha Frost, a Briefings writer
January 13, 20223 yr i was reading about james webb telescope tonight and saw this about the mirrors -- probably should have guessed as soon as i read they were made of beryllium: The beryllium to make Webb's mirror was mined in Utah and purified at Brush Wellman in Ohio. The particular type of beryllium used in the Webb mirrors is called O-30 and is a fine powder. The powder was placed into a stainless steel canister and pressed into a flat shape. Once the steel canister was removed, the resulting chunk of beryllium was cut in half to make two mirror blanks about 1.3 meters (4 feet) across. Each mirror blank was used to make one mirror segment; the full mirror is made from 18 hexagonal segments. The Brush Wellman team and the mirror blanks. more: https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/observatory/ote/mirrors/index.html#1c https://case.edu/ech/articles/b/brush-wellman-inc https://www.jwst.nasa.gov/content/webbLaunch/whereIsWebb.html

Take a zoomed in photo of Downtown from the river to the innerbelt and post it here - certain street changes there will give further clues to the date.
January 19, 20223 yr As I said on Twitter, I think it's 1976. It references Conrail which didn't start operations until April 1, 1976. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

February 1, 20223 yr The NEORSD (CLE sewer district) Twitter account is a national treasure When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?
February 2, 20223 yr I didn't know where to put this so...my nephew, a college senior, just received a job offer from a company know as Cleveland Research Co. I had never heard of them so I checked out their website. It starts with a really cool drone shot of downtown Cleveland. It is centered on One Cleveland Center, its headquarters, but takes in a good portion of downtown from a unique point of view. Check it out. It is about 2 years old as Beacon was still under construction. I kept imagining the shot with the SHW tower. By the way, it appears to be a pretty young company, maybe 15 years old, but it appears to have a national rep with many large corporate clients. I liked the fact that when they decided to start up a company that was going to try to attract large clients from across the country that they decided to name the company after Cleveland.

February 10, 20223 yr That bridge still looks clunky to me but in the grand scheme of things it's small potatoes. So much development going on now around town l'm not even thinking about that little piece of crap.
February 10, 20223 yr https://bridgehunter.com/oh/cuyahoga/north-coast-harbor/ Interesting quote from the link above: "This is an ironic bridge, for an ironic city, on an ironic harbor, said NOACA Executive Director Grace Galucci whose organization helped provide some of the funding."
February 10, 20223 yr ^ LOL. Of course, her actual quote was ‘iconic’.
