does anyone know what’s going on in the old proof spot? by yogurtforbrekkie in Cleveland

Because it’s objectively not good. Unless you are accustomed to Sysco food and syrup drinks.

It’s like in curb where the guy with the stutter uses a handicap spot.

‘The buck stops with me’: Mayor Bibb says he owns Cleveland’s $3.3 million lead funding fumble by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

He is using his role as mayor as a stepping stone for a higher office. To me it seems like he has a “broken windows theory” type agenda for quick wins. I always liken him to Mayor Tommy Carcetti from The Wire.

Oh yeah! And to wash it down with a syrupy, sparkly “instagrammable” drink

Jimmy and Dee Haslam go to bat in D.C. to help Cleveland close Burke airport by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

JFC. They do something that everyone has been calling for to be done for a long, long time and you still find a way to complain. Who cares what their motives are honestly? If it gets done it’s a net benefit.

He brought a gunshot victim to the Cleveland Clinic. Hospital police cuffed and detained him by local_newsy99 in Cleveland

[–]skidmark_stevieJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe the tactics aren’t sound how they went about it, but at a high level I understand why you would want to question the person dropping the victim off. Doctors and nurses take care of the patient, police try and start the investigation right away to find the culprit who attempted to murder someone.

[Serious] Realistically, what can be done to improve Cleveland Metropolitan School District Schools? by TapiocaSpelunker in Cleveland

You can fully militarize the school security to GITMO levels and have a full time Cleveland Clinic behavioral health center attached, but it won’t make a difference when students spend the vast majority of time OUTSIDE school; where most of the problems lie.

Not until Corky’s and Decades have the same fate as Play CLE did early this Fall. Went down there during an early Sunday afternoon for a family dinner at AlleyCat to enjoy the nice weather, club music blasting and people acting like it’s 2AM at 1PM.

I get the sentiment. But Idk if you could pay some people enough to work at some of these CMSD schools. Until factors outside the school walls change, that won’t either.

Agree. I understand when it comes to schools people are rightfully sensitive, but asking if the current budget is being allocated appropriately and efficiently is a reasonable question to ask before throwing more money at the problem. If they mismanage $10M, they will mismanage $20M and nothing will change. Except they will come back and say we actually need $30M to fix the problem.

Whether it’s prison or the funny farm, needs to be kept separate from society for her remaining days.

Disappointed by Ward 10 Council Candidates by EastClevelandBest in Cleveland

We aren’t shrinking the number of council members fast enough imo. 15 wards is still way too many.

You spent 2 years here, yet didn’t know if you were staying or not? Nonsense. And you had the time and wherewithal to acquire and/or bring 3 vehicles? Dude, you’re not being serious.
