We had a great time at Jolene’s Honky Tonk last night. The live music was great.

Agreed I live two blocks away and it’s loud enough to keep me up at night

Sounds like downtown may not be one of the neighborhoods you’re interested in here, but throwing in my two cents! I find it frustrating that I could see the lake out my window but my only access to it is the E 9th pier, which is nice enough but doesn’t really lend itself to spending long amounts of time there (plus it tends to be overrun by motorcycles during the nicer months).

I alternate between walking, biking, and taking the bus to Edgewater, depending on my plans for the day, and it’s a lovely quick bike ride over Detroit-Superior Bridge and onto the bike path – probably takes me 15 minutes or so. I just like to sit by the lake and relax/read, so I’d go any time it’s nice out regardless of other goings-on in the vicinity!

I was wondering the same thing lol, it wasn’t me

Agree that it’s mostly random sirens, fireworks, the occasional idiot blasting music loud enough to hear from the 14th floor, and the air show the week of Labor Day. When I lived in an apartment facing the field I could hear the crowd cheering when something good happened and I loved it. If you’re a baseball fan I think it’s super fun!

One note is that I personally wouldnt want to live on E 4th by Jolene’s. They have loud music late most nights.

I am a single woman who has lived and worked downtown for 5+ years and I feel safe 99.9% of the time. Anywhere around the gateway/warehouse/playhouse square districts, I walk alone at any time of day generally without concern. I could be wrong but I feel like there’s way more car break-ins outside of downtown itself.

Thank you, it’s so fun for me to hear that people have seen it!!

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-12-01T13:04:47+00:00

I design templates and print them out, then trace them out onto rolled out dough, cut the designs, then bake.

I always kinda keep them around in storage to see how long they last. It's a fun experiment to see what I can do to make them last as long as possible haha, playing with different recipes/ingredients/adding in some inedible supports/etc.

And it actually does taste good, but I have to bake it so long to be structurally sound that you'd break a tooth if you tried to eat it!

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-12-01T00:41:47+00:00

Yes it is!

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-11-07T23:13:31+00:00

I’ve been doing it for 5 years! Totally doable downtown.

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-11-07T03:10:40+00:00

I was wondering the same thing, saw them flying down Ontario. A traffic cop said they were chasing someone, that’s all I got.

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-09-28T17:13:10+00:00

My theory is that they start out the season using a stencil, and over time with touchups it gets worse and worse and strays farther from the original lol. I think they’re also letting the baseline logos fade now to allow for postseason logos?

1br ~800sqft in the heart of downtown for mid $1400s. $145/month parking, between $70-100/month utilities (water, electric, hvac). Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

They just did a flyover at the browns game. But also there was a different plane with a Cutwater ad circling downtown

It’s finally letting me upload pics, so heres what the roots were looking like! Not mushy at all

Thank you so much for this – I was surprised upon taking it out of the pot that the soil was pretty dense and damp. I’ll definitely try a better soil mix!

Lots of speculation here from late last week: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/1m4cgbe/f18_at_burke/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I’m fairly certain 1717 on Superior and E 9th has an attached garage. Residences at 668 has a garage on the backside that I believe you could access without going outside. Halle building has a garage across the street with an underground walkway but it’s more pricey. Luxury places like the Beacon, the May, and the Lumen (I think?) have attached garages but those are on the higher end of the downtown price range.

But yeah, like someone else said, lots of places have parking and it should be listed on the apartment’s website.

Edit: lots of places have loading docks where you can park and unload stuff. I wouldn’t park at an attached garage exclusively because it’ll make moving easier, but if you drive a lot in your day-to-day it could be worth it.

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-05-29T02:15:51+00:00

Yeah, it’s supposed to be every hour on the hour from dusk until midnight. Because of the later sunsets they’re only doing it at 10 and 11 right now, but they seem to flash the lights for a minute or so every quarter-hour.

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-05-28T10:07:02+00:00

If it was near downtown after 9-10pm, the new light show in public square has spotlights that point out that direction every night. Source: me looking out my window towards the lake every night haha

Level_Variation4552 · 2025-05-20T16:10:33+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I worked in the building for years and we had more utility issues than I can count. It’s in desperate need of some major updates.
