@ericdeamer It is my fondest hope that the ghost of Mr. Jingeling starts harassing drunks at the slot machines.

This is great because I read Vince all the time, and also because every time anyone talks about Cleveland history, they bring up Higbees. It's scarred in our cultural memory.

@Multiphasic I'll never be the person who says "we don't want your property taxes, go away", but....there can be such a thing as too many bike shop....and cupcakes shops....though I guess if you ride your bike everywhere, maybe you can just live on cupcakes?

On The Horrific Horror of Brooklyn
I live in Cleveland, and being a 32 yr old "artsy" girl with sort of expendable income, I'm right in the thick of the artisan up and comers. I go to a house party, there's a lawyer trying to sell me bottles of bitters. Every other girl in a cotton skirt has a vegan gluten free cupcake company. When I go to a certain bar, I can request my friend's ginger beer. So reading this article, ESPECIALLY that last little Midwest reference in the last line, hits hard. What's happened here is people are desperately trying to create their own brooklyns in these close to downtown neighborhoods, and there's been a rush on breweries and pop up shops, and it's been mixed blessings. Because it certainly has led to more white people with money moving into those neighborhoods, but it's not doing shit for the existing residents and surrounding neighborhoods, who can't afford to go to these places or buy these things. It's not really gentrification, because there's never enough money in Cleveland for any quick gentrifying, it's all slow and spotty. But my point is, we're not in the middle of an overcrowded super city, we are smack dab at the top of a freakin bread basket. There's more than enough room here for factories, expansion, farms ect. So if the hipsters could just find a way to make themselves accessible and affordable for non-hipsters, they actually stand a pretty good chance of making it!
