The mistake by the lake...
Wasn’t Cleveland like the place where Obama got 100% of the vote?
Burn on big river....burn on.
But hey how ‘bout that Johnny Football?
Jesus Christ: You can’t impeach Him and He ain’t gonna resign.
“Ya know,,,, it’s been spreading! There are actually areas in Shaker Heights that you don’t want to be in at night! Shaker Heights! I went to school there. Even my school moved out to Gates Mills!”
As I recall, Shaker Heights used to be where all the wealthy in the Cleveland Area lived
It’s where I was born.
Last year I visited the apartment where my parents lived. Because it was just down the block from a police station, I felt fairly comfortable in bright daytime.
There was a once beautiful park down the block in the other direction where my family went for picnics. It is now semi-abandoned. Full of trash and used as a dumping ground. The asphalt paved roads, probably not repaved since I was a kid (60 yrs ago) have nearly deteriorated back to dirt.
My Mom (RIP) went to Shaker Hts High with Paul Newman and my cousin went there with Roger Penske.
“As I recall, Shaker Heights used to be where all the wealthy in the Cleveland Area lived”
You are correct. It was Cleveburg’s wealthiest suburb, by far. My pre Schools was there. The mansions on Shaker Heights Blvd are still there, but the side streets become a nightmare after dark. East Cleveland seeped into Cleveland Heights, and from there, into Shaker. Very sad to see the decline. Urban sprawl indeed.
I wouldn`t give two craps and a stroke for ALL of Cleveland. It`s a sh!t hole!
Yup, like Detroit. So screw the businesses, and start the same dam model over from a clean slate. That’ll fix it. They should simply bulldoze the whole dam area.
Well it is! I don`t even visit anymore, I`d rather go to Akron for things.
By the way, how them buzzards flying?
The RNC national convention is coming to Cleveland, should be an interesting event.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Independence City Council unanimously approved rezoning a parking lot to build a new hotel on Rockside Road, which the developers said will be finished for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
The $15 million hotel, a 120-room Springhill Suites at the Marriott, will be built on the Holiday Inn parking lot.
Developer Ed Cury, of the Florida-based Cury Group, said the sole reason for building another hotel is the Republican National Convention and the thousands of people it will draw to the Cleveland area.
“Oh the hotel will be complete by then,” Cury said. “That’s the whole reason for it. It would be a waste to not be open by the convention.”
Prior to the start of the regular council meeting, council held a public hearing on the rezoning issue where residents could ask Cury questions.
One resident asked if the hotel would have a lounge, and the developers said that would be included in the amenities, as well as a pool and fitness center. It will also be in walking distance of various restaurants, such as Bonefish Grill and Outback Steakhouse.
Another resident asked about security, to which he was assured the new hotel would have security cameras, key-card access and additional lighting for the parking lot.
