Lorain Port & Finance Authority Text:

Check out this waterspout that appeared just north of Lorain Harbor! We captured this amazing sight live on the Lorain Lighthouse Cam just a few minutes ago as a storm moved into the area.

It lasted roughly two minutes before retreating into the clouds. This 30-second timelapse gives you a clearer look at how it formed and dissipated!

Smoking a cigarette in my neighborhood on my porch at 11:20pm and a Parma pickup truck cop just flew down my street — no running lights, no cherries, no berries, no sirens — at 90mph. It’s posted 25mph through here. He blew every stop sign. No exaggeration.

People walk their dogs at night, crosswalks…there are cats around…he didn’t even hit his sirens or lights when he hit the main road. Didn’t tap his breaks not once blowing through my street (3+ stop signs down the blocks). I can’t even quite believe what I just saw & heard. He was flooring it.

Around 10:30 Friday 10/16. You’re name starts with an O. I work for a law firm (not a lawyer, or an attorney, or a paralegal). You shared your pizza and you tried my sour beer that tastes like wine. I should’ve asked for your number, but I guess I was too shy, and you were gone by the time I decided to.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the grand opening of SouthPark Mall (then SouthPark Center) back in 1996. The mall has changed a lot over that time and has gone through multiple eras. From SouthPark Center to Westfield SouthPark to SouthPark Mall. From the Jacob’s Group to Westfield to Starwood to Spinoso. When I visit SouthPark, I can tell it was designed with an intention to stand out among others. The architectural design from the heights of the impressive entrance vaults, grand barrel vault skylights & domes to the attention to detail in the ground tile patterns (more so of the original in this case) never get old for me and I hope they continue to inspire for years to come. SouthPark played a role in my desire to pursue a career in the world of architecture.

This is the mall I grew up with and it’s fascinating to think about the strength of presence it’s had on me. My early memories include the Westfield years with the Disney Store and the dining court with the glass facade. Not long after, the 2006 facelift took place. I remember experiencing the mall amidst the renovations and how exciting that was.

There’s so many memories in general. I remember a Charlotte’s Web experience with the Christmas setup one year. The clock tower used to be filled with references to “A Christmas Story” (before I understood any of that). I remember Caribou Coffee (although I was too little for coffee at the time), Firefly’s Minigolf, and Kids Concoctions. Helping with setup for Christmas decorations multiple years in high school. The grand opening of Mitchell’s Ice Cream. I also have a vague memory of the existence of Johnny Rockets.

So many memories and so much has changed over 30 years that has not always been kind to SouthPark. There have definitely been challenges but I’m optimistic that SouthPark’s highs can still be stronger than its lows. Even with the addition of newer centers like Crocker Park and Pinecrest, SouthPark continues to perform. Ownership changes through the years have shown (in my view) different levels of effort towards SouthPark. I’ll long miss the Westfield era and, although there have been positive impacts, I’m still skeptical of the Spinoso era. I hope they genuinely have the best interests of SouthPark in mind and are willing to do whatever it needs to continue perform in the long term. (A Westfield level full interior renovation would be nice for one. Replacing the faulty escalators for two.)

Hey cleveland!

My band and I are in search of a female drummer to join our all-girl rock band! I KNOW there’s a sick drummer out there that we can find. PM me for the audition link!! We are just forming so we are still ironing out details but we’re antsy to start netting up and working on music.

I've got a mobile job that sends me to many areas of Cleveland- oftentimes places that I'd call "the hood" or sometimes decent urban neighborhoods, such as Ohio City, are just packed full of lovely little fluffballs that could use a home. Some will run right up to you, some are shy and need a little convincing. I've got three house-cats and a porch-cat, two were strays in my neighborhood and another was found on Train Ave, almost certainly dumped.

●Disclaimer, don't just be grabbing cats off the street willy-nilly. Many are indoor-outdoor cats, and some are cared-for strays. Caretakers of these outdoor cats may consider the cat "theirs," or they may be happy to see it go to a loving home.

●The cat in this post is just a random cat I befriended around East Cleveland. Not mine, but very sweet.

● Adopting from a shelter is also great as it clears room for these strays.

I went tonight and it was well decorated and my dog loved it. You drive through and it was really nice. You pay by the car I it was 27.50. It’s great for everyone even the pets. 🐶🦴

It lasted almost 40-50 minutes and I put the map on so you can see. I was driving so my photos are limited but I’m glad I went.

I was wondering if there are any people in this sub community from Wickliffe? If so, do you know why Lucky 7’s Beverage Store has been closed since the 6th of October? The sign on the door said, it was due to “Unforeseen Circumstances.” They said, they’d be temporarily closed. Didn’t give a reopening date. They were still closed tonight when I went by there. One of the workers there had been ill and I’ve been worried about her. I’ve tried to find out on facebook and no luck there.

Anyone had work done by Dr. Liu? I’m scheduled for a septorhinoplasty for a deviated septum and some minor cosmetic changes as well, however I don’t know anyone who has seen her personally and just wanted to know your experience and outcomes. I really liked her and her colleagues in office. TIA!

And for the love of all that is good, and your neighbors (good or not), and requiring companies that extract sooooo much wealth from our communities to pay at least a little bit back in the form of employing people, please do!

Amazon has gone out of its way to hide its "contact us" option, so here are the instructions.

• From their main page, scroll to the bottom and click "Customer Service." (It's the bottom right option on my computer, the last one under the heading "Let Us Help You.")
• Under "Can't Find What You're Looking For," click "Something Else."
• Then click "Amazon Drone Delivery."
• Then click "I need more help."

.... and you will finally get an option to chat with a customer service rep.

If anyone knows an easier way, please put it in the comments!!!

p.s. Before people attack me for still using Amazon: believe me, I hear you. But I'm pretty broke right now, and when there's something I can't avoid buying, I have to get the cheapest option. And, and this is key, Jeff Bezos is not my problem to solve. Every billionaire represents a public policy failure, and that's on bought politicians and their voters. My piddly purchases every month make exactly zero difference in that man's bottom line or dipshit attitude.

Anyone else in the Cleveland area watch this movie every year for Halloween? I love the film so much I want to sleep with my Blu-ray copy.

Hi all! I am from Oklahoma and have a single ticket to ALCS Game 4 tonight. I unfortunately was not able to make my flight, and will not be able to make it up there in time.

I got the ticket through a promotion, so I cannot sell the ticket through the Ballpark app directly, but should be able to forward it to you. Not sure what price to sell it at, so come at me with an offer, and I'll consider it.

Surfers are at it right now @ Edgewater

I just got an email today about them not coming to an agreement yet for the new year. Has this happened before? I’m scared I go here (and travel 2 1/2hrs) for specific diseases. Does anyone know any news about this?

Hey everyone! I'm 34 and considering relocating from Charleston, SC, to Cleveland. I'm looking for recommendations on affordable neighborhoods where I could realistically live without a car.

Ideally, I'm looking for:

- A studio or one-bedroom apartment around $700–$800/month.

- A reasonably urban, walkable neighborhood, not a car-dependent suburb.

- A grocery store and basic necessities within walking distance.

- Reliable public transportation to get around the city for work, including evenings and overnight hours.

I have a background in hotel security and will likely be looking for similar work in Cleveland, so access to downtown and other major employment areas would be a plus.

For those who know Cleveland well, what neighborhoods or specific areas would you recommend? And is my rental budget realistic for a decent studio or one-bedroom?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: walkable for me means I can get to work on public transit. You know, Is there a bus stop within ten-15 blocks i can ride across the city or will get me to a connector to one that will? Is there somewhere I can walk or ride a bus to grab groceries? Not like walk around and grab coffee and like go to the bar and shit like that. Answers have been great so far. Thanks!!

While driving down Madison I peeked over and saw this conniving smile behind the Doughnut Pantry plotting something sinister! A couple years ago a house on McKinley created something similar by adding giant eyes on the roof and teeth to the front porch! It’s such a simple but effective Halloween decoration! (Address: 1668 Onondaga Ave)

I doubt that there will actually be any news released about this but Swagelok is implementing a RTO, five days a week starting this month. Less than a two weeks notice to those who have been working remote/hybrid for years.

They also waited until the month after their annual Associate survey to announce it.

FYI to anyone thinking of applying there for any office roles.
