Here's another story of a multi-million development that is in the works for the downtown area. 230 million dollars to be exact. The promise is for 300 living spaces, including apartments and condos, a shopping area and a multi screen theater in the notorious area we call the "Flats" This ...

Goddard, Weather and Woolly Bears.

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

It's early on Sunday morning and the sun is bright, but the air is cool. Cleveland weather can be so unpredictable! Dick Goddard is always talking about crazy things like Alberta Clippers (this means grab your jacket) and Nor' Easters (this means hold on to your hat) Nothing against Mr. Goddard, but ...

Driving Conditions

Saturday, May 14th, 2005

It is always good to be aware of the things that are going on around you. Especially when you are behind the wheel of a car. The highways can be very dangerous, and proved deadly for a 65 year old Pennsylvania doctor traveling to Toledo, Ohio via the turnpike. ...

Butch Davis - guilty of coaching boring football

Friday, May 13th, 2005

The football under Butch Davis was so bad, that I literally almost couldn't stomach watching it. My wife of 4 years has been forced to watch some of the most God-Awful football you've ever seen. I sit there, during the game, insisting over and over that "Really, the ...

A walk through the past

Friday, May 13th, 2005

Okay. So I'm weird. I like to visit cemeteries. Not because I have weird ideas, but because they fascinate me. And at some point in time, that is where everyone ends up. All that is left to commemorate your life on this earth is a slab of granite, and ...

Great day!

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

Today was a great day. About 70 degrees and pretty much mostly sunny. The sun broke way to some thunder boomers about a half an hour ago and the temperature dropped a good 10 to 15 degrees in quick fashion. Rain gives way to growth, so it isn't a ...

Spring has arrived!

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Finally! Spring is here just prior to summers arrival. Today is a little overcast with a chance of rain, but that is the case a lot of days. The morning air is crisp and fresh and having a window open is a welcome retreat from the shorter and colder days ...

Kellen Winslow poppin’ wheelies

Monday, May 9th, 2005

Kellen Winslow 2 reminds me a lot of myself when I was 21. Problem is, I was an idiot who you wouldn't hand $40 million to. K2 is apparently equally non-sensible. Despite having motorcycles excluded in his contract 9 times, he still persisted in becoming a motorcycle ...

Crocker Park in Westlake coming along nicely

Monday, May 9th, 2005

The Crocker Park retail development in Westlake is coming along very well. Today was an extremely nice day and I had a chance to take in the surroundings at Crocker Park. The area is certainly no secret, and there were a great number of people about. It ...
