They've certainly helped to put Cleveland back on the map.

This is no doubt the most exciting thing to happen thereabouts since
the Cuyahoga River caught fire in 1969.

Eerie.
Lead by example Wayne.

What kind of example would you like, and why are you so touchy about
that river fire?
ROTF. Touchy about something that happened 38 years ago?

Act like an adult. Putting down a city one lives in is equal to a 3rd
grader telling you that your mother is ugly.

If I recall, your favorite reprimand to folks acting like children here
was....."lead by example". Time to take your own advice.

BTW....what grandiose city do you call home?
None. His neighbors complain if he stays in one place for more than
three days. Sorta like dead fish. :}

I'm amazed you never picked up on my comment on Cleveland, that life
there "ended" with the demise of Szell. He was, as you know, the
preeminent conductor of his time, and when he wielded the baton, the
Cleveland Orchestra was, simply, the best in the country and among the
best in the world for interpreting the classical composers.

We have a mini version (when compared to large cities) of fine
arts.........the Cleveland Orchestra still lives.

Playhouse Square, The Cleveland Playhouse, the Cleveland Ballet, our
librararies and museums. Add to that our medical resources including
the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, and our educational
institutes including Case Western. Lastly, add a touch of recreation
with 3 professional sports teams, Lake Erie, the Islands, the Emerald
Necklace parks and our golf courses.

I can live with our winters. I cannot live with year round traffic jams
and over crowding found in most major cities.

For someone to bring up a polluted river that caught fire some 40 years
ago in an attempt to bash that person is juvenile and shows total
ignorance on their part.

It's just Wayne, the Reggie wannabe.


Hell, if he wanted a low blow at least he could have brought up Dennis
Kucinich!

BTW.....you gotta love these front runners like Wayne who *once* lived in
NY, perhaps several hundred miles from NYC and never actually seeing the
Yankees playing in Yankee Stadium.......yet claim to be a fan of the team.
He will most likely change his *allegiance* to another front running team
now that the dynasty of the over payroll Yankees was broken by the lowly
Cleveland Indians just a few weeks ago.

Watch what happens to the once mighty Yankees now that Torre told
Steinbrenner to shove it. The dismantling of the team will be fun to watch
over the next few months. Boston Red Sox fans can thank the Cleveland
Indians for that. ;-)


I like Dennis...he's refreshing. I'd never vote for him, but he says
some interesting things.

You gotta wonder...who wouldn't want Joe Torre, eh?
