From this Saturday article:
http://www.vindy.com/news/2009/oct/31/wi...

"Williams arrived in Germany on Oct. 23 to attend the German Marshall Fund’s “Comparative Domestic Policy Program.” Williams was among 13 officials from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina attending the conference. His expenses were paid by the fund."

Read the last sentence carefully, boardmanneedschange.

A couple of bags of concrete would NOT have prevented or fixed the structural problems the west stands were having. (not sure if they are visitor or home)

Where were the new dishwashers put? I would expect to buy new dishwashers for the new AMS. I don't know anything about the Gator, though. Is that in the funding records, too?

Thanks for the clarification. Just to be clear, the 0.5 mill levy is for maintenance of Fitch and AMS, and not at all for building improvements as reported above?

I'm not sure how the district could have maintained the stadium better to prevent the repairs that were done. Regardless, the surplus AMS money couldn't have been used to prevent this levy. That money was allocated for construction only.

Do you really think the district is going to make $26 milllion from the sale of the old AMS property??? Would you rather have the stadium condemned? (I'm not sure AMS money was spent on that, anyway.)

commyliberal, you're right that if the issue fails this November, the ALSD is still eligible for the OSFC funds. They have a year to get the issue to pass. If, after a year, it hasn't been passed, the district loses the money. If your research tells you otherwise, please let me know.

530020045000 217 W BOARDMAN ST COLWYN BAY LAND COMPANY LOT 91 EAST 33 X 137

That's the one. On that property's page, click "Transfer" and you can see that ownership was transferred from Don Hanni to this land company in 2005.

The only reason the city and neighboring suburs are in the shape they're in, is becuase of the continued sprawl. Anything to reverse that trend is a good thing for the city AND the suburbs. If this trend doesn't reverse, the city and suburbs will continue to decline.

I wonder why Cleveland has one of the fastest growning downtown residential populations in the state? They generally have more crime than Youngstown, and their schools are just about as bad.(for all intents and purposes)

When I was considering moving to downtown Cleveland 10 years ago, there weren't any of the conveniences you speak of. But as the population continued to grow, now there are. So, there is some truth to the expression "build it and they will come."

IMO, YCSD is a distillation of poor performing students. Those who abandoned the district early, helped the slide to start. As the slide continued, and Youngstown's best and average students continued to leave, only those who don't care about their education, (with parents who don't care about their children's education) are left.

I know this is an overgeneralization, and there must still be parents who do still care, but I think there are far too few of them.

I would like living downtown janeyblue. But I agree with beinghonest that these places don't have the level of finish that would be appropriate for the rents being asked.

Check out the Park Building on Cleveland's Public Square that was renovated into condos:

Just from the one picture of the couple, I can see nice woodwork, built-in shelves, french doors, etc. And these places also begin "in the 200,000's"
