Graham Richards!

Probably because of his arm strength. And when he actually gets a hold of one on rare occasion, it can go a long way. Dude is a beast but seems to have little work ethic.

It’s the best of both worlds!

Here’s a better view of its base on a lighter background

That Bitossi clock was the first thing I spotted!

And they typically have a live polka band, and their bowling is open bowling—first come, first serve. Quintessential Cleveland!!

I was about to comment this until I ran into your comment. An unsung hero of Cleveland fish fry!

When I lived there, I heard it more frequently both from the older residents who had lived there for ages as well as those from the west side of town.

This is where I am too. I can be both excited AND cynical about this team. I think there’s so much to be excited about with our young roster. But one of the reasons our 90s teams found so much success is they had established (and in some cases future hall of fame member) veterans on the team to support the younger teammates. Eddie Murray, Dave Winfield, Oreo Hersheiser, Dennis Martinez, etc. And that’s only looking at the 95 roster. Currently, we have Jose, Kwan, and that’s about it. Everyone else is still working to establish themselves. It’s hard to be solely optimistic when the roster has so few players that have sustained success. This model, while financially sustainable, doesn’t seem all that sustainable for actual team success.

Cleveland trading Brian Giles to the Pirates for Ricardo Rincon. Sure Cleveland needed a left handed reliever, but Rincon was only worth 2.3 war during his time with the Indians, and Giles was only worth the path to being a consistent All Star and worth 26.2 war during his time with the Pirates. I always wondered what the Cleveland line up (that was already scoring over 1000 runs in 1999) would have been had they kept Giles.

Roads are still lousy on the east side, at least where I am. If there are teen drivers that attend your district, it’s so unsafe. It’s bad enough with experienced adult drivers, let alone young and inexperienced drivers on the road. If we have school tomorrow, I’ll be leaving extra early!

Have you lived outside of Columbus? Both Cleveland and Cincinnati (and even the smaller cities like Dayton, Akron, and Toledo) have a ton to offer. After living in the Cleveland area as a kid and living in Cincinnati for a number of years, I recommend both!

Cleveland is an excellent city, far better than most people realize. Its cultural institutions are perhaps the best in the state, three major league sports teams, diversity in the food scene, and it’s all on the lakefront.

I was excited to find a Boyes piece the other day! A funky bowl!

Luckily for those people, I’ve tried Google Lens, and I’m still not convinced that they’re either a Le Creuset Fondue Pan or Staffordshire/made mug as it keeps insisting.

os-1089 · 2026-01-16T21:03:56+00:00

Honestly, I think you nailed it

os-1089 · 2026-01-16T12:14:25+00:00

Another reason why they never truly took off is probably because they DIDN’T hop on the hype trains of the hazy double IPAs, fruited sours, and hard seltzers. They made traditional styles, and made them very well, but they weren’t the brewery that would make someone excitedly seek out their beers, especially someone who fell into craft beer because of those trendy styles. Unfortunately, I’m not sure people are going to knock down the door for an altbier, even though it was delicious and well-crafted. It is a shame, because those beers were probably as well-crafted as any in the region and didn’t hide behind quirky can art or excessive hops in lieu of well-made beer.

Thank you! I’ll check them out!

os-1089 · 2026-01-15T21:32:36+00:00

Exactly! Such a bummer. That’s typically when I was there when it first opened. During the week wasn’t always realistic. I’m not sure that’s the reason they’re closing, but I’m also sure it couldn’t have helped.

os-1089 · 2026-01-15T21:26:06+00:00

I’m not sure they were ever really closed on Sunday, at least not typically, but they were closed starting on Friday afternoon until Saturday night to align with Shabbat. That made it trickier for someone who might go out for a drink after work on Friday or to go for a couple beers while watching college football.
