All about Cleveland, Ohio

Awful quiet in here. You guys staying hydrated? That humidity is like a kick to the balls that somehow hits your lungs instead.

What's everybody doing for the holiday? Getting naked and climbing the FREE stamp? No judgement.

Hey, you guys hear we're getting a soccar team? Whatever happened to that? They announced it like 2 years ago, and then........nothin.

So, there was a time when they announced that they were changing their name. The name I kept hearing, and hating, was the Cleveland Rockers. Blegh!

So me, assuming the new name was going to be based on the idea of rock and roll being part of our image, I had a different idea. A crazy idea. A real longshot that I never expected to happen, but I still say the name is 100% cooler then "The Guardians" (especially since they don't use the guardian statue imagery).

My idea is that the Cleveland Indians makes a HUUUUUUUUGE purchase. They buy WMMS from iheartradio. They continue WMMS as 100.7FM, and still play rock themed genres. Kf anything, they become the non-corporate rock station. Who plays local artists. Who doesn't have a set list that just repeats everyday. But during the games, they'd have Tom Hamilton and crew announcing the games. Just as always.

They become the Cleveland Buzzards, and use the WMMS buzzard logo as their logo too.

The other idea I had was calling them the "Cleveland Drummers" with a cartoon version of John Adams face as the logo. This was before he died, so I figured he'd be at opening day of the new team......and then beat his drum. Unfortunately, he came down with health issues. He battled health issues, and died during the Guardians first season.

And the stadium does not feel the same without him.

You think maybe Tim Misney is one of the subscribers?

Federal agents found more than two dozen minors illegally working inside a poultry plant in Kidron, Ohio, earlier this month, according to local immigration advocates who spoke to NBC News on the condition of anonymity.

The children, mainly from Guatemala, according to the advocates, were working in meat processing and sanitation in a plant run by Gerber’s Poultry, which produces Amish Farm Chicken, advertised with the slogan “Better feed, better taste.”

Just brought home a baby boxer/shepherd pup and want to get him used to other people and dogs. What are some good public places or dog-friendly spots in the area? I'm located near Ohio City. I checked out Lucas's Bakery yesterday and they were awesome!

HB 245 from Assembly 135 would ban drag in everywhere except in "adult cabarets". This would mirror Tennesass bill from earlier this year.

What a garbage human being this cop is. I don't even like dogs, and I can tell that dog was zero threat. Yet he shot the dog, and even continued firing as the dog was running away. And it is clear this asshole doesn't even care, and it is clear Lorain Police just want to sweep it under the rug. It is sickening.

I think we all know of the big places? Any good hole in the wall spots for indie rock? Just moved to the west side and looking for local independent music, not just touring bands

I just wanted to prompt some discussion:

What are some of your fav spots in Cleveland?
