How do you know that it wasn't a U of M grad commisioned to do the work? Be careful---as the saying goes, "You need to be polite to OSU grads---you might end up working for them one day."

(I graduated from a small college in Ohio---but I did do some of my grad work in Columbus.)

End up working for them, that's a laugh! I just pay them for the pizza and send them on their way.

Actually, dzervit, I feel your pain. Cleveland is,in many ways, like Detroit. We had a really large steel industry, but now it is now just a dribble,. We do have two tremendous health care facilites--the Cleveland Clinic and the University Hospital Systems, but htey hate each other and will not work jointly on anything. Cleveland was a labor-intensive city; now, it need to turn to medical technology, but neither one of the major health care research hospitals will give in and join the other. Cleveland (downtown) has become a ghost town.

My neighbor just got back from a free vision clinic thingy she volunteers for at work. They go to poor places and provide free vision testing and stuff. She was in Cleveland this week and said the city is really bad. I was surprised... granted I haven't hung out in Cleveland in nearly 10 years, but the place was hopping when I was there. She said the Flats are a ghost town, no river front whatsoever and the hotel people told her not to leave after dark... WTF?! She said Detroit is better... WOW. That is some crazy stuff. Has it really gotten that bad?!

The Flats are temporarily history now---they are tearing buildings down and rebuilding everything. The city itself is dead. We go to see the Tribe, the Cavs, and the Clowns (browns) but then we all leave. They are refurbishing the Euclid Corridor, but even that has been so tonr up that people cannot get to the businesses so the businesses leave, as well. We have to recognize that we are not a blue-collar labor econoy and that we are medical research/technology economy.

If something isn't done, it is time to say last rites for the Mistake on the Lake.
