A big hat tip to Life in Ohio’s Ed Burghard for these in depth interviews. And to the website itself for it’s user-friendly layout. I wanted to feature this because I’m not sure many of us have the chance to hear (or read, in this case) why companies start, grow and stay here. It’s not [...]

Maybe, but still homes people have built. Usually in places like California, Oregon, etc. This article however, revolved around homes [...]

What Are The Most Congested Highways in the Country?
January 19th, 2010 · No Comments

They list length of the congestion(by miles), the speed (or lack of) cars can travel during these periods, among other things. I wasn’t very surprised that the Capital Beltway in D.C. was #3.

NE Ohio Home Sales: Zip Code 44122
October 20th, 2009 · No Comments

My stats are as usual, only covering homes (single family here) listed and sold by area brokers. But I did glean some info from the new County Data base (auditor’s site). Here [...]

How Fluid Is A Master Plan Designed to Be?
June 6th, 2009 · No Comments
One thing has puzzled me since I moved back to Cleveland, and it’s about adherence to the City’s Master Plan. I know these plans are and should be fluid. But I always had the nagging suspicion that Cleveland is pretty good at looking the other way regarding her master plan. Am I wrong? Now [...]
