Visit to Cleveland
Category: cleveland
We drove down to Cleveland last weekend for my best college friend Sarah's (aka Horse/arse/face) white coat ceremony at med school. It sounds random but I promised her at some point during undergrad that I would make it if she went to Case Med school.

We stayed in a super swank hotel called the Intercontinental. It was so fance I had a minor panic attack checking in. It was attached to the Cleveland Clinic which squicks me out. Everyone from around the world flies in to get their strange ailments cured.

On the way down I accidently got off in the rough Hough neighborhood while we were running out of gas, right north of the Cleveland Clinic. It was a bad intro to Cleveland for (e:paul) and (e:terry). To be fair I almost never went to or around Cleveland in a car.

You know you're at a hospital when:

Euclid Avenue Healthline below and Clinic land as far as the eye can see.

Afterwards, we took a Lyft to Ohio City - sort of Allentown but a little more big city - to meet up with Sarah and her classmates. We ate delicious food at the Bier Markt, and then met them at a Bar called Town Hall. Previous to this I only had been to one place in Ohio City, and felt scammed because I had to pay $4 for a beer. Everything seemed way too expensive then.

All the Clevelanders seem to use Uber and Lyft. We used them too - I like the transit much more but we had so little time. Cleveland has three train lines that run through it, and two 24 hour bus rapid transit lines.

I split off with Paul and Terry when they went to some gay bar called the Leather Stallion. Sarah sat in her bed until 5 am talking like we used to.

Permanent graffiti
Category: graffiti

and temporarily back on (e:strip) because I found an old battery charger!

They've been cleaning the Red Jacket apartment building. Part of it was trying to clean the graffiti off by putting a paste on and power washing it off - they inadvertantly etched it in forever. I bet the original taggers would have never expected.

Hopefully pee alley's smell isn't forever enshrined too?

mmm note 5 must be good choice but its expensive!
libertad - 07/22/15 13:03
I always hold my breath while walking by.

$1100 for the Note 5!!! I hope that the phone companies provide some subsidies! I'm not happy about the non removable battery, I don't care how much quicker the new batteries charge! I'm still on the 2 and maybe might upgrade but probably not till I have to.

I found an external battery charger so I can get a little charge every day! I think I might wait for the Note 5 - it's coming out next month.

I have so much to post on (e:strip) but my phone is dead as a doornail.

It's a Galaxy Note 3 that I inherited from (e:paul). It's experienced a lot such as (e:paul) dropping it on the floor (e:paul,59449) and maybe getting too steamy in the bathroom from the shower.

Now it won't charge. We had a battery charger but it got left behind in Cleveland. For 4 months now I've held out from using the phone upgrade we have because a Note 4 costs $350 - and why should I waste resources getting a new phone when my current one works? At the same time, I freaking hate AT&T getting extra money from the phone subsidy.

Now I can either repair the charging port on the Note 3 for $10, or get a new Note 4 for a ridiculous amount. Just a month away from the 5 coming out

Or I could go full retro and one up (e:paul) with a Commodore phone.

Sometimes it's nice to get away from your phone but currently it's just driving me crazy.

What to do with these first world problems?!

Happy second anniversary to the two (e:strip)pers I love the most - (e:Paul) and (e:terry).

I'm so happy to be a part of your lives. I can't wait to see what's in store for us.
