hi!! i (25f) am looking for a spot to go dancing on halloween… i was thinking goodnight john boy in the flats but im pretty unfamiliar with this scene in general just wanted to try something new. what can i expect to pay for a cover ?

hey!!!!! preparing to vote (!!) and I am not the most knowledgeable person ever on government/issues, but am wanting to make sure my candidates are thought through. I mean overall i’m probably just voting democrat down the ballot, but i’m curious if anyone has any resources they use. Like, part of me wishes the DSA would put out a sample ballot of who they’d suggest voting for, or even curious if someone has made a spreadsheet or done their own research.

I have started a spreadsheet with my selected official for each position (color coded by party of course…. No red anywhere to be seen) and my notes/reasoning (could be as simple as opponent being backed by tr*mp), as well as confidence level in voting for this person. Looking to have more information so curious about the resources yall use, but also I wish I could reference other people’s plans and reasoning lol

One thing I’ve waffled back and forth on is senate. While I’d love to endorse a “socialist” Greg Levy in hopes of getting the next mamdani for Ohio, I have a few reservations and am leaning towards Sherrod instead. Namely, mamdani has socialist ideologies but ran as a democrat. Also he’s mayor so his job is different. Greg is running as independent/socialist, meaning he might end up dividing the vote and creating space for maga — and I’ve actually found an article stating that maga was donating / investing in his campaign in hopes of dividing the vote. https://archive.is/2026.10.17-144008/https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2026/10/16/maga-super-pac-greg-levy-mailers-ohio-senate-race
With that being said it’s lovely to see that he has support and ideally a socialist would be my choice but we don’t live in an ideal world. But i’m curious what others have to say on this topic.

i’m also curious just in general how yall are getting your friends and family involved. I’m thinking of sending this spreadsheet to everyone and letting them add or share thoughts but also reference it for a quick last minute voting plan with little effort. We all believe relatively similar stuff so it’s not too risky.

in other news I’ve heard ab this thing where you can get money to host a “voting party” if u know a bunch of people and want to all be proactive and research!

The club—I haven’t been following their saga and unclear if they are now open lol

hi! I have some things I wanna sell including a leather sectional and I'm just curious where everybody finds the most success selling their furniture/housewares virtually... marketplace? nextdoor? everything feels so spammy 😑

Edit: I’m in Cleveland and I am not neighborhood loyal. Used to big city traffic that takes 45 minutes to get anywhere so driving doesn’t psych me out.

Pretty much that. After a couple of bad historical experiences with people, I’ve been more wary to go out alone these days. But dang dude…I want to watch the game around people and not alone in my apartment. I want to cheer alongside people.

Downtown seems overwhelming and like maybe a shit show so trying to avoid going too far into the belly of the beast. I’m a 40F and I want to be able to drive, park, have maybe three light weight beers and chill without being concerned about the vibes of those around me. Still new to town and I don’t get out much.

Really hoping to eventually make friends but that’s harder as you get older especially since so many folks have families. Wanted to be a mom but it didn’t happen, so instead I now really want to watch baseball with a beer around good people.

And yes, I’ve tried meetup groups and doing all the regular suggestions but I haven’t found my people yet I guess. I’ve met lovely introverts and I’ve met fun heavy partiers but I haven’t met many folks who chill in the in between of low key energy while also enjoying exploring life. But if you’re here, DM me and we can get coffee and bird or people watch.

I ordered a costume off eBay and I feel like it’s a 3xl. Need it to fit more like a medium. lol.

It’s a very simply sewn piece, should be fairly easy to take apart and reconstruct.

Randomly watching some old Browns highlights and look who appears to be "great" friends with Art Modell. They're both pieces of shit, but hey now I know the shit is even stinkier.

Can anyone recommend a refrigerator repairman on the East Side? I'm in the Cleveland Heights/South Euclid area. Ideally someone who works weekends.

Hi I am delivering my first this week. I was wondering if anyone knows how many people can actually stay with me overnight at Fairview. Obviously not trying to have a slumber party but my mom is in town along with my SO. I’m very close with my mom so I would prefer she is there.

Its a miracle, all the Husted campaign attack on Brown ads that have been on loop for a month disappeared this morning and are now coincidentally replaced with a loop of Greg Levy ads that attack Brown. So not only are they playing dirty tricks, they're too cheap to even bother keeping a few Husted ads running for plausible deniability.

I almost feel silly posting this, but here goes. My husband and I have been together for 10 years and have a few pretty young kids. My in laws recently have started offering to watch them so we can go on dates. It’s wonderful. The first couple times we did practical things like pick out tile for a home remodel, go car shopping, etc. Now, though, we’re running out of things to do. Compounding that, my in laws come over EARLY for date night. I’m talking like 3 or 4. I get it because they want to spend time with the kids before bedtime, but that means my husband and I now have to find something to do outside of the house for like 5 or 6 hours. When we were dating, we were pretty broke so we didn’t do many activities. We’ve never been movie or theater people or sports people. Mostly we just like hanging out together, but doing something is nice. Any suggestions? Thanks!

ETA - thanks for the suggestions! I should have been more clear - I’m looking specifically for things we can’t really do with the kids. We love the zoo, the museums, the metroparks, farms, Stan hwyet, CVNP, etc, and we do those frequently with our kids. Ideally we’d do things that we can’t do with the kids.

After the split from CWRU, how are the students feeling and adapting? Faculty? And prognosis?

Hey yall does anyone know how to order to the ikea pickup location in Cleveland? I’m trying to get a desk but I can’t find the location as an option. Thanks

hi! so i want to go to all 50 states and tomorrow I’m driving 6.5 hours to cleveland, OH from NJ. It will be my 22nd state :)

I have a little drafted itinerary, but wanted to see from locals if there is anything they recommend! I’m a big nature fan, love to thrift or little stores, cafes, music, history, and drinks. i also will be seeking out a dispensary if anyone has their favorites!

i’m staying close to the campus district/playhouse square, i have a car and don’t mind public transport.

my itinerary:

get there, grab lunch, and head to the rock and roll hall of fame museum. check into the air bnb, relax, then i would like to see the sunset and get dinner. Not sure if there is places near playhouse square area that you really recommend or go over to W 25th get dinner and check out some stores near by?

next day: get some cafe or breakfast if you have any recommendations, near or not near the area i said i was staying! then planning to go to Cuyahoga and walk the ledges trail. relax a little at our place, maybe walk down to the 5th street arcades, and then head to the art museum and little Italy for dinner. i keep seeing Mama santa’s recommend.

then next day go home!

is there any spots you think is worth checking out different from what i listed or any historical or music sites you recommend to see?

i also want to somehow squeeze in going to paradise galleria lol

thanks everyone <3

Any bets on how long this one will be? Of course, I had just gone grocery shopping.

Last night a little past 9:00 my fiance and I were at Lakewood Park and noticed a red glow coming from under the water. It looked to be about a mile out northwest of the compass at the solstice steps however measuring distance on the water is pretty difficult. I contacted the police because the water was so rough I wanted to make sure a boat did not go under. They sent the coast guard out to check it out supposedly after I called it in. Any idea what this was? I've been checking the news and stuff all day with no updates.

I'm young so I don't know the backstory of why we have these abandoned roads, which looked like a housing development was here many years ago. Located off of Sheldon Rd, Grayton Rd and Ruple Pkwy. Such a sad thing to see these homes gone. Is there any ideas of what to put here instead? The road names are Crestridge Dr, Wildwood Ave, Wentworth Ave, Westview Ave and Grayton Rd. The last picture which is Grayton Rd has a sign that says "No Trespassing, Authorized Personnel Only," "Not a Through Street" and "No Outlet." I do wonder what is down this road and according to Google Maps looks to be a house back there. So are able to get trash taken care of and there mail delivered?! Would love to live there. Seems like a middle of nowhere, thus its peaceful and quiet.
