Thu, 13:11: This was originally the old German neighborhood. The whole neighborhood got torn down to build either Interstate 90 or Interstate 77. This was at East Ninth Street and Woodland Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. The year is 1953, the same year my parents were born. https://t.co/yx9F3gXeS8
Thu, 13:31: This is East Ninth Street in Cleveland, Ohio around 1946. This is looking north from Rockwell Avenue. In the distance is Lake Erie. I don’t know what that arrow is for. You see a car turning onto Rockwell. https://t.co/p1ij8I5cQp
Thu, 15:13: How much does rioting and looting affect the overall economy? It actually doesn’t. If you want to smash windows and burn things just for the hell of it, it might be bad in other ways but it’s not going to affect anything big like the GDP.
Thu, 19:20: Getting “tough” on crime has some real problems, like having six cop cars swoop in on me and scare me to death while I was walking late at night last October.
Thu, 19:50: My dad is getting weird. Anymore he will only eat certain things. When we go out, he will only eat sushi, certain Vietnamese food and certain Mexican food and that’s it. He used to eat just about everything.
Thu, 20:15: Sometimes when men have to have their prostate completely removed, they have to walk around with a leg bag, sometimes permanently. Then again, a lot of people are incontinent without having their prostate removed.
Thu, 20:42: Some people are like “Oh no! Cleveland is still losing population.” I’m like “Your point being? Is this a problem?” New urbanism is NEW urbanism. It’s a whole new way of thinking. In many instances it’s as much about deconstructing cities as it is about constructing cities.
Thu, 20:53: I once literally had a dream about living in a world with flying cars. We also had floating rest stops and floating gas stations in the sky. In my dream all these amenities in the sky literally had very long water pipes and sewer pipes and power cables.
Thu, 21:53: From a per capita basis, rural America isn’t all that safe either, especially when you consider the opioid and fentanyl crisis combined with pandemic fueled crime like gun deaths.
Thu, 22:18: Overall Cleveland is still going to hell in a handbag. It’s getting more shabby overall and people still aren’t sure why the crime is so bad. Just the same. I know what I know. Things WILL turn around sooner or later
Thu, 23:32: When people are sick and depressed they often don’t like to take a bath or a shower and my dad is no exception. I might call my dad a musky husky but I’m not out to my family about being a furry.
