I didn't know where to ask this, but I have a question about Terminal Tower...

Why do they not light up the entire tower like they use to before the renovations towards the top? Now that everything is done, they only light up the top of the building. Look at pictures from the early and mid 2000s, the entire tower is lit up and it really adds a lot more to the tower itself.

Missin, Ive asked this numerous times and never got an answer. In fact ususally nobody seems to know what I'm talking about (even the locals), but yes the whole thing was lit to the bottom of the tower before the renovation started.

Here is a good place to ask questions in the future.

Also, Ive personally asked the guy who changes the lights to different colors and I dont remember getting a straight answer. It was awhile back so I cant remember exactly but I think he said they might do it again. I dont think they will anytime soon though.

I saw this on Huffington Post this week... 8 fall weekend ideas. Cleveland Beer Week was the first one (#1)

Enjoy A Grown-Up Beverage

There's not a cup of hot chocolate in sight here. If you'd forgo a cardboard mug for a pint glass anytime, Cleveland has got the festival for you. Every October the city's best bars open their doors for Cleveland Beer Week, featuring a who's who of neighborhood breweries, four-course meals, and even a ride of the Cuyahoga Valley Railroad with seven savory craft brews.

Q. Best food town in the United States?

The same thing applies to shopping in the Chagrin Valley and the Heights. You can see really great products in the stores here:

"Charlotte is a great chef town, but there aren't enough millionaires to support niche restaurants. "

I am aware that "Civic Pride" is not a construction related post, but I feel that it is a relevant topic for discussion. I apologize if my post is misplaced; I believe that moderator of the forum can find a fitting place for it latter.

I moved to the Cleveland area about two months ago from California. I can't say how happy I am to be in Cleveland. After living here for two weeks, i know that I might not be in a place to offer a proper assessment. However, from what I have experienced it couldn't have been any better.

With this said, one thing I have come to notice is that people around the city have a pretty pessimistic view of the city and this seems to reach outside the limits of the city.

I need help in understand why.

I am really excited to have made this post since it is my first after reading many of the topics posted for a while now.

Matthew Hall · « **Reply #1294 on:** October 23, 2011, 03:01:21 PM »

I couldn't agree more. Some place have much more of this than others. I think history makes a difference. Older places that have been able to survive the ups and downs have built up a sense of shared identity through those experiences and the institutions they create are more sophisticated and diverse that newer places just don't have. Some might develop it in the future as they go through their growing pains but others never will.
