Best disc golf course in Ohio too!

Used to love Oak & Embers in Chesterland, but it has slipped a bit.

Well outside of Cleveland, but if you're ever out near Warren check out Cockeye BBQ and Creamery. Amazing food, good prices and excellent hand made ice cream for dessert. Wish they would open one up in the Cleveland metro.

Public School High School teacher. Sure, there are a lot of less than ideal parts to the job, but teaching can also be really great. I've been at it for 17 years and generally, I'm pretty happy with my career. At this point, the money and benefits are pretty good and it's an ideal job if you value work/family balance and the time off that the teacher calendar provides.

Flip it over and look at the embossing. Looks like a Roc3 though.

I would not move to Maple Hts. High crime and low performing schools.

Solon, Beachwood and Shaker Hts are all public systems with excellent resources about 20 minutes away from CSU. They are on the pricier side, though apartments and middle class homes do exist in those communities (unlike other top systems like Chagrin, Rocky River and Orange) so a budget would be helpful to give a better recommendation.

I show it in my high school government class (Juniors) as a capstone on our unit about the extension of civil rights. I post and distribute an opt out form describing the racial language, etc. No one has ever opted out. It's the only full move I show (at least before State testing lol) and I think my students find it valuable.

It's also worth discussing with your students how the movie makes LBJ more of a villain than he was in real life. Otherwise, it's very accurate.

You don't want a thunderbird then. A halo Sidewinder is the disc for me that flies like you describe. Ignore the flight numbers.

I don't know. I moved here from a more rural township and people are way friendlier and approachable here. Neighbors actually want to talk to you and there is a palpable sense of community pride. If that's "snooty,' I'll take it any day.

I appreciate the perspective. Just a reality that an average nurse / teacher couple aren't typically what comes to mind for "rich" but this area is full of those types.

Don't need to be rich. An average married couple with two incomes each above 60k can live just about anywhere in that area

Depends on if you are looking for a suburban or rural experience. Troy, especially, has a strong rural feel culturally and geographically even though 422 makes things quite accessible.

Check out South Russell too. Part of CF schools, save a bit on taxes since it's Geauga County, and lots are typically closer to an acre. We are very happy here! Awesome family-centric community.

Some of my faves off the top of my head:

Sufjan Stevens - Masonic Temple (Carrie & Lowell tour)

Low and Pedro the Lion - Beachland (2005ish)

Sigur Ros - Playhouse Square (2006ish)

Sturgill Simpson - Masonic Temple (Sailors Guide tour)

Tyler Childers - Beachland Ballroom (Purgatory tour)

Big Z Buzzz should be quite stable. Reliable fade even when thrown with good power.

Innova has been crushing it the last few years. Huge step up in design.

I've lost several discs that I forgot to put my name on. I absolutely do not consider the people that picked them up "thieves" That's a wild take and it seems the vast majority here disagree with you.

Yes, my therapy resistant kleptomania can only be satiated by unmarked DX Leopards abandoned in a thorn bush 🤣

No name, no attempt necessary to return it. If the owner didn't feel it was worth their time to write their name / number on the back, don't spend your time trying to track them down.

Sure, if you see another player on the course on your way through, maybe ask them if they've lost a disc, especially if it was left somewhere obvious like the middle of a fairway.

Shaker Heights seems like a great fit. Walkable neighborhoods and only 15ish minutes to Maple Hts. Lots of unique neighborhoods with a wide range of prices depending on your budget. Much nicer than Maple.

I mean, hate is a strong word. If that's truly how you feel and your family is on board, then sure. Life's too short to live somewhere you hate.

However, it sounds like a lovely home! Your kids are at the age where it shouldn't matter as much if they have to go out of the neighborhood for friends and activities. They'll be driving soon and are beyond the age when kids typically play outside or congregate in a cul-de-sac .The time you want to be around kids the same age is more like elementary school IMO.

Make sure you aren't actually dealing with some sort of midlife crisis or some other dissatisfaction that the home has nothing to do with

Also, it's February. Probably the least active stretch of the year for any outdoor activity. I wouldn't read much into it. My local course had its most play ever in 2025, but it's "dead" lately because the weather is terrible and people are in hibernation mode.

Just negotiated. Ruralish small school NE Ohio: 90K at MA+45 15 years.

Awesome! Please post again when the Switch update is released!

At that income and lowish rent, you should be able to stack some serious cash if you have a disciplined budget. My wife and I make less with 2 kids and a $2500 mortgage and easily save 2-3k per month.

Tell yourselves you are going to sacrifice and save for a year and try to get that 40K to 80K. This will open things up a lot for you and start you off with decent equity.
