Dear Winton Manor…
May I make a few suggestions? You need surveillance camera‘s. Why you ask? Here’s why:
- When someone on my floor pulls the fire alarm consecutive nights in a row and then run down the hallway and exit up or down the steps, you’ll be able to catch who did it. So I won’t have to regret moving in here while I rock my son back to sleep from being startled by the women on the intercom.
- When someone floods the laundry room and fail (or doesn’t care) to tell maintenance which forces people who wanted to wash their clothes go and track down maintenance to let them know.
- To catch the trifling people who find pleasure in urinating in the hallways and stairways.
- A lot of buildings have hidden cameras on their elevators, for good reason. People get mugged, harassed; killed on elevators. Other people like to vandalize the elevators or hold the elevator open long enough for it to stop working (the person who stays in 209 does this all the time or she rides the elevators all day).
- To catch the even more trifling people who leave their garbage in the stairway instead of walking their nasty behinds down the hall and throwing it down the garbage chute.
- To catch drug activity in the hallways and outside of the accused apartments.
- So when someone leaves a cart full of garbage and just leaves it there, you will know who did it.
- To catch when maintenance does something incriminating because they’re just as crooked as most of the people in this building. They half-ass do their jobs and some of them have this smug attitude that I don’t particularly care for.
Mind you, if they know the camera’s are there then putting them there defeats the purpose. People act like animals in this building and it needs to stop.
Update: I just got an invoice under my door. It states:

Let me just say, the black community hold strong onto the ‘no snitching’ rule; which I find to be idiotic. They want the police when someone robs their home but if it ain’t got nothing to do with them, they’re not opening their mouths. They may have seen something but if it’s not causing any pain or discomfort to them then they turn the other way. Ok, I’m going off on a tangent here — back to the matter at hand. It’s sickening that to find the people to come forward, they have to be given something. Things like this shouldn’t be in this building. It’s in downtown Cleveland, Ohio for Pete’s sake! You would think there will be a discrimination when it comes to that. No crack-heads or meth-heads that ride up and down on the elevator or hold/block the elevator so it stays on one floor.
When was the last time the stairways were actually scrubbed and disinfected? You’re worried about LEAD! Hmph! There are more other things that can make a child sick. You can’t make this place a peaceful and quiet experience until you get rid of the problems that’s keeping this place from being quiet and peaceful.
This summer was the worst leaving to and fro from this building. Me and my son were harassed and criticized every time I walked past the loiters that were out front or next to the building. You put up signs that reads “no loitering” but do they read and abide? No they do not. What’s the point? They feel they run the place, what makes you think they’re going to follow rules? They smoked, they made noise, they made 9th and Prospect look like 79th and Cedar. All I could do was shake my head and keep it moving.
The fire alarm is always, always going off. It goes off for 10-15 20-25 minutes every time before someone at the desk comes on and say “false alarm”. One day it’s going to be a catastrophe of a fire in this building, no one is going to take it seriously until they see smoke coming under their door or they have lack of oxygen in their lungs.
I finally saw what I think someone finally working on the freight elevator. That thing have been broken since before I moved in (which was in August). What took you guys so long to fix that? What cheap mechanic did you find this time?
Don’t feel bad, it’s not just here, the apartments out in Euclid, Ohio and probably plenty of other places are like this. I’m not living there though, I’m living here.
Why oh why does the woman who comes on the intercom tell people to not use the elevator when there are people in here who uses wheelchairs? There isn’t a ramp so if there was a fire what you expect them to do? Burn to death? Wait on the firemen to come to their aid and carry all them downstairs on their backs? If I were in a wheelchair and I was looking for affordable place to live, no ramp or other safety precautions available for me to make it downstairs when need be would have made me roll in the other direction.
I know there is a slew of people running around vandalizing the building like little children but there are more pressing matters here. The garbage chute should never be packed…never. It’s contradicting and wastes the person’s time when they come out and spray for roaches. Speaking of that, you seriously need to stop wasting your money. That stuff doesn’t work. COMBAT GEL does. Send out a letter to all the residents in the building to get some combat gel. I know some are hip already. Combat gel cleans them out pretty fast. Put that money you’re wasting on sending out someone to spray on getting a better chute system. It’s ridiculous and disgusting!
There are people in this building that want the same things I want. They want order and they want the vandalism to stop, they want the ignorance to end. I know this will probably never make it to any of you who run or live in this building and I don’t care. I won’t be here no longer than I need to be. Before I leave though, I will be taking photos and posting them here so people don’t think I’m making this crap up.

They Wouldn’t Bust a Grape in a Fruit Fight…
These are obviously birds...
So, today was an interesting day. Mind you, it didn’t get interesting until I was on my way home via RTA. I know you’re wondering who ‘they’ are and I’ll get to that. Let me just give you insight on how crowded these buses are. We have these subway train like buses now, they’re long and if you get in their lane, they’re loud. Well this long bus was packed to the point I could smell what the people next to me ate for lunch two days ago. I was standing and was on one side of the bus next to the door that doesn’t open because people were being let out on the other side of the bus. Well a few stops after I got on, these 4 and obviously naïve birds-erm “women” got on the bus. They’re loud as hell and it’s obvious they were about 18 or 19; with my eyes closed they were 10; if that. Either way, they knew better.
Cleveland RTA Buses
These birds [I really want to call them birds because they were clucking and bucking like those women on 'The View'], they were talking about anyone that they found visually annoying to them that got on the bus. Mind you, I’m RIGHT there next to them. It took all the life and energy I had left to not smack them into the next millennia with my PSP. Anyway, they take one look at me and just decide that today of all days to talk about me. I’m standing there with my balloon and gift bag I got from my family for my birthday and they looked at me up and down. I saw all of this out the corner of my eye. I continued being an adult, they continued to be the children that they are. I guess they weren’t getting the response they were expecting from me because I have on my PSP listening to music. So the chunky bird decide to yell out “Someone smells like cigarette smoke and it’s giving me a headache”. The other 3 start laughing at what she said. What does this have to do with me? Let me tell you. I was in a Jamaican spot that my grandmother told me to try. They had these really strong incense going and it was going to take 7 minutes for my fish dinner to get done [it was really good by the way]. So I left for 5 minutes and came back and they still weren’t done so I waited. What floored me was the fact they couldn’t decipher between cigarette smoke and incense. So I stood there and let the coonery continue.
As I got closer and closer to my destination, my will to keep being an upstanding citizen was being tried forcefully. One of the chicks told one of the bald-headed birds to “smell” me. Really? You gone jump off a cliff into some jagged rocks if she tell you to? She already got you out on a perch tweeting. So they continue to act a fool and so when my stop came, I purposely bumped into them, and at the same time I cut my volume down on my PSP and walked off the bus, they didn’t say a damn word.
My point of this blog is, women like the ones I ran into on the bus; alone they’re quiet as church mice; wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight, but in a group they’re the loudest New York rats on the corner. These type of women run in cliques because they wouldn’t survive alone. They have to go along with what everyone is doing and saying because they don’t have a mind of their own. They could be best friends and hate each other; despise each other even. People like that don’t live long but they got their heads shoved so far up their asses they won’t even notice when karma makes a visit. It’s too much like right for my kind to be civilized to each other. It’s pretty much taboo. I’m sure one day, they’re going to get on that RTA bus talking foolishly, and someone is going to take notice to them talking about people and they’re going to turn them every which way but loose.
What I notice about one of these chicks was she was staring at me and I could feel her staring at me, then she took it a step further and start rolling her neck at me, I turn and look at her, stare her and her friends down and she looks away. Listen, you were deprived from the attention you so desperately wanted as a child, don’t get your ass mopped up and down this bus. I might be doing the bus a favor because it was filthy. I’m 24 today, the younger me wouldn’t have gave a shit about no “Transit Police carting me off their bus into the back of their car. Nor would I had cared if the birds jumped me, I was going to tag one of them. I’m too old for that kind of crap. I have a son and a husband now, I have to set an example. Violence isn’t the answer, especially since they didn’t touch me. If they would have though…
So the conclusion to this blog is, chicks [yes I'm still referring to birds], in groups aren’t the same alone. The main ones that got so much to say about someone is branching out from their insecurities. One day they’ll grow up, but that will be asking for too much. All I can do is shake my head and keep it moving. Their words won’t be paying my rent, or clothing my son.

Yea right, the only thing I’m laughing at is Cleveland. Y’all are sad. People around the nation, including people in Cleveland who have an ounce of sense is laughing at you. It seems to me that Cleveland is full of children in adult bodies. I would expect this from kids during recess, not grown ass people at a basketball game. He still have fans here ESPECIALLY in Akron. I’m not one of his fans but I’m not about hold what he had to do over his head. Let go of his nuts and move on with your pathetic lives. Especially those who spent thousands of dollars for a ticket just to bitch and moan.
He’s gone and he’ll never be back, there’s nothing you can do about that. No matter how much you cry. No matter how many commercials Michael Jordan or any other basketball player make about Lebron’s decision. Yes, he shouldn’t have had a whole hour on television to publicize his decision, that was just stupid but damn, what’s done is done. It’s basketball, not the end of the damn world. I know Cleveland don’t have much and it sucks when something decent comes along leaves just as fast as it came but what the hell can you do? You’re not making anything better acting like pre-schoolers. Other potential players from here would probably would go somewhere else before they play here seeing how you guys are when people leave.
Honestly, grow a pair and let go of Lebron’s.
So Cleveland is stressed out eh?
Why do I have this odd sensation of Deja Vu? Ah, oh well. Anyway, Cleveland is stressed out, broke, and edgy. We have sub-par sports teams, downtown looks like the inside of a strip mall; there are more bars and places to eat than there is something to do. But that doesn’t make a city stressful; of course not. So what makes a Cleveland, Ohio so stressful? Well let’s see, we have a failing infrastructure, water bills that make no sense. Areas of the city without water for over 20 hours due to above ground water pipes busting. Poor economy, failing roadways, politicians going to jail. But hey, at least we got a Walmart in Steelyard Commons. Not only that, the citizens in this wonderful city – the vast majority have this huge ass chip on their shoulders.
But enough about that. Let’s look at the positive side here, the Cleveland, Ohio area is one of the easiest places to live in. People are friendly, but not nosy. They know how to be kind, without being invasive. Clevelanders help you, whether they know you or not. They care about you, and look after you, whether they know you or not, also. Clevelanders are approachable, reasonable, and fair. I know some of you may or may not agree with that but we’re different for a reason right?
Now you want to know stressful? Look at Toledo, Ohio. Now, that sucker is a real gem. Toledo should have air balloons in the sky, with writing that says: “We want to be like Detroit, and PROUD of it!” Speaking of Detroit, I wouldn’t wish moving there on my worse enemy. Although, if you want to get out of Cleveland I understand there are some great deals in Gary or Detroit. If folks there aren’t trashy enough for you, try taking your talents to anywhere in Florida where the crack heads all have tans!

Cleveland is one stressful place to live eh?
Well no shit.
The study took crime rates, unemployment and health of residents into account when creating the rankings.
According to the study, Cleveland has the most robberies per 100,000 residents and had an increased number of deaths from heart failure, hypertension and stroke.
With Cleveland being at #3 on the list of most stressful places to live and work, Los Angeles being #2 and Detroit being #1. What do we got here let’s see. We have a stupid Healthline in the middle of Euclid that cost millions to make; that no one rides because one way is $3.00 and an all day pass is $5.00. Not only is it dangerous but a complete eye sore. There is more construction going on than there are people who are employed. They’re constantly building pointless buildings, like another art museum for example. We have PLENTY of those already. The people here are nasty in every sense of the word and it smells. If it wasn’t for my grandmother, I would of been left. It is also in high poverty. Nearly 65% of Clevelanders are in poverty.
The east side of Cleveland should just be bulldozed and started over…including the Cleveland Clinic who is ever so desperately trying to get the blacks from over there so they can finish knocking down 100′s of homes to throw up parking garages. Besides the Cleveland Orchestra and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio sucks. Just knowing that fact could stress anyone out.
The best and brightest left years ago and took business and opportunity with them. All that’s left are those who complain about change, take public handouts [either from welfare or from public sector jobs that create nothing of value for the region] and are fiercely Democratic. Thirty years ago, Cleveland was the home of more Fortune 500 HQ’s than any other city outside of New York. Not any more! They saw the light and moved elsewhere. If Clevelanders could visit other areas of the country and see what good governance and a thriving business community [strong chamber of commerce] can accomplish, they would truly understand why the city is called the ‘mistake by the lake’.

Cleveland & Akron Y’all are PATHETIC!
How can you be that upset over LeBron leaving? I mean they had to see it coming if they had any type of sense. He won’t win a ring here. Just because he decided to go with Miami you want to burn the jerseys, call him a traitor, just disrespect him entirely all because you pleaded with him, made downtown Cleveland into a shrine and made signs. No matter where he go; whoever he play with, LeBron will always be from Ohio..Akron…Ohio. Which I wouldn’t want to be the way people are acting like children that didn’t get their way. Y’all are pathetic.
Related: Fans burn jerseys in Lakewood after LeBron announces decision
Ever since LeBron made his decision though, there have been helicopters hovering over my apartment building and they’re pretty close. I live in downtown Cleveland so I’m sure there’s a riot some where.
I knew people were basically gone scream ‘blood murderer!’ when he decided to leave. I knew they were going to cry and make a tantrum and mention his tattoo’s.
A Letter From Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert:
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his “decision” unlike anything ever “witnessed” in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
You have given so much and deserve so much more.
In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE”
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our “motivation” to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.
Sorry, but that’s simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown “chosen one” sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And “who” we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called “curse” on Cleveland, Ohio.
The self-declared former “King” will be taking the “curse” with him down south. And until he does “right” by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.
Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland.
Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day….
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue….
This is a sad testament to a guy that could have done something truly great here if he had any vision. I understand why he did it, but I believe his philosophy in choosing his new team reflects the same philosophy he had in making this “Decision” into such a spectacle.
He is all about Lebron. The idea that he wants to “just win a championship” sounds wonderful, until you look at who he’s winning for. Here’s a clue – it isn’t his adoring fans who provide his paycheck, and it won’t be for Miami fans either. He is a super-talented athlete, but he is also a small-minded individual who probably has genuinely no concept of why Cleveland fans would be angry with him. There is no need though to be cry-babies just like Lebron just because he left.
Related: LeBron’s new reality: He’s the villain now
If the organization is truly competent, then this is a positive thing. The leadership should have learned about what happens when you build a team around one super-ego and instead instills a team culture that shuns the idea of making a rock-star out of one super-talented player. Let’s hope this is the case, because we need a team built around winning championships, not appeasing one spoiled athlete who has shown himself to be the ultimate front-runner who quits and throws a tantrum in a playoff game when he disagrees with the play-calling.
Look how he went about making his decision. He milked it and decided that it should be a big deal by dramatically dragging it out basking in all his undeserved glory. If he knew he was leaving, he should of just made his decision instead of milking the attention.
Related: Cavs owner rips LeBron’s ‘betrayal’
Honestly Cleveland should not hold any ill will towards LeBron. This is life and you can’t blame the guy for doing something as big as create a dream team in Miami. He gave your city 7 good years of his life and took you to the finals. He busted his ass for Cleveland and how do you repay him, by burning his jersey in the streets. What kind of fans are you people, if that is how you treat people that worked hard to do their best while they played for a team in your city than honestly you deserve never to win anything. Also didn’t you same fans who feel betrayed boo LeBron in his last game in Cleveland during these past NBA playoffs? At the end of the day he has to make the best decision for him and his family and for his career. If you want to be honest with yourselves look at the facts. if he went to Chicago he would have been better off, if he went to the Knicks he would have been better off, but instead he went with the best out of all his options. Get Over it and stop putting blame and hate towards someone who loves where he grew up and loved playing for his hometown for the past 7 years. So what if he doesn’t play there for the next 7, appreciate what you had.

Cleveland, get off of Lebron’s Nutsac!
I’m sure everyone besides Cleveland, Ohio knows that Lebron James becomes a free agent July 1st. Well here in Cleveland, the news is all a buzz and have been for some time now about Lebron. They’re holding parties in his honor, even The Cleveland Orchestra is in on it come this July 2nd. There is this big mural of Lebron from when he was in high-school, college and now professional basketball and under it, it goes along the lines of saying that Cleveland needs/wants him here and this is where he belongs.

In my opinion Cleveland is pathetic. They’re saying that Cleveland’s economy relies on Lebron James and if and when he leaves the economy will fall. Honestly, I hope he leaves because this is ridiculous. If they fought this hard for things that mattered Cleveland would be slightly striving, but I digress.
Lebron James is more than a sports superstar. He’s a one-man economic engine that drives the lane, fills the bars and puts Cleveland on national TV. - The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Cleveland.com)
People here are basically willing to sell their soul to get Lebron James to stay. While I sit and watch this debauchery unravel, I can’t but help to pity the citizens of Cleveland, and yes Akron Ohio. Lebron isn’t the ‘chosen one’ or the ‘king’ as everyone puts it.
I’m sure he’s laughing at everyone behind closed doors; already decided on what he’s going to do. I cannot wait when the day of reckoning comes; I seriously hope he leaves, but there’s a catch to that. People will THEN be bitching, crying and moaning about how he betrayed his hometown and how he turned his back on his family or what have you. This is a lose/lose situation here, the bitching, the pleading, the crying won’t end.
The Cleveland Orchestra’s free, public event on Public Square celebrates its 21st anniversary on Thursday, July 1. A community festival begins at 5pm and at 8:40pm, an “orchestrated” message to LeBron James will be delivered. July 1 is the Cavaliers star’s first official day as a free agent. The Orchestra concert, followed by fireworks is at 9pm. – City of Cleveland
How pathetic is that? Talk about desperate pleas, it don’t get any more desperate than that. I hope the message reads “Please get off of Lebron’s nutsac“.
It’s really sad how people have placed so much faith and hope in this guy to the point of which I really worry about the citizens of this city… their hearts are just way too attached; and their wallets. I mean really, our economy depends on him? Its REALLY pathetic when an entire city depends on one guy for their economy, especially when that one guy seemed to have quit the city during the Boston Celtics [that's my team] playoffs. Anybody watching the game could see that the Cavaliers and Lebron gave up, so the city should have been prepared for this, why lose time and money chasing after this guy when all efforts should be put forth for the betterment of Cleveland and all Clevelanders?
If anyone can answer that feel free. Maybe he will surprise us all and just retire.

Cleveland, Ohio [The Winton Manor]
The Winton Manor (Click to Enlarge)
Basically this statement says what a lot of tenants are feeling about The Winton Manor.
I reside at the Winton Manor formerly known as The Carter Manor and have resided here for more than 13 years. Sure they have rehabbed the building cosmetically by doing spot repairs and adding a few face plates here and their building is not what it seems. On many days you can go in various public areas and see human secretions in public areas that are also exposed to kids, you will see trash in the stairwells, sometimes in the elevators and in front of tenants units.
If you lived here you will experience children running up and down the halls sometimes hitting on tenants doors and running, tenants playing loud sometimes vulgar music, televisions sometimes are played loud as well as it seems so many tenants have surround sound speakers attached to the televisions.
People have guest who entertain their guest in a tenants unit when the tenant is not home. Some people entertain their guest in the hallways. Many rules are not enforced at this building and the building is not secure – mostly everything printed in The Plain Dealer was a lie, the plain dealer was called and it was requested that a follow-up be done and they refused flat-out. I also noticed that many articles that printed on this building have been censored.
The building has bugs like Ive never seen before, it has been my experience that the management company alters the truth to get move ins and give you hell when trying to get things resolved.
It’s a lot of drama in the building and although the name has changed as did the appearance of the building but it is just as it was when it was the Carter Manor..NOTHING HAS CHANGED! Most of the promises they claimed in the paper were not honored like a computer room, a store, doctors in the building etc.
We have security on site but they only check IDs and that’s it, you can do as yo please and the guards only write complaints and then it’s finished. Management really doesn’t enforce rules or deal with complaints unless you owe them money or unless they want you out.
The building is a joke as are its rules.
We have so many false fire alarms that people often times do not even want to leave their apartments, they have no real evacuation plan or safety alternatives for people who are in wheel chairs – it’s really sad, it was said that we would have new elevators because the old ones would break down a lot – guess what??? we never got the elevators although they did put paneling on the elevator walls to give it a new look but the elevators are not new – money was not spent the way it was printed in the plain dealer or how it was promised to tenants.
People really need to talk about whats really happening in their buildings even if given anonymously.
People have a right to know what they are getting into.
They do not do thorough checks on people because what I have seen it’s like they let anybody in the building.
Sadly, its still like that to this day. This was posted in a forum YEARS ago..and the feelings are in fact mutual except I’m not exactly living here. The fire alarm is going off now but I doubt there’s a fire so I stay where I’m at until the security guard down at the desk gets on the intercom and say there is one. Other than that he’ll usually say “false alarm, all residents please go back to your rooms” but in reality, no one really leaves.
They have YET to make a way for those in wheelchairs or any other type of disability to make it downstairs if there is a fatal fire. The only source is in fact to use the elevators although the fire alarm says don’t use the elevators. They’re risking their lives every day when it goes off because what if there really is a fire and they have no choice but to use the elevators and something happen to them? They shouldn’t have turned this building into a senior/disabled apartment complex because it wasn’t suited for them.
I’m not disabled or anything but before they changed it this place to for Seniors and the disabled, it was for everyone. So there are still people here before they changed it. I just feel sorry for the people who live here and hope something changes.
As for the elevators mentioned in his statement, they were never changed. Earlier this year they took out the tiling and threw down carpet. Well someone urinated in the elevator and they have yet to clean that out. Why they went from tiling to carpet I’ll never know. But I guess since people don’t know how to take care of where they lay their heads and most of the people in this building are in fact nasty, they just left it there. Says a lot about their character though. I mean in the area where they have their parties and other meetings, someone stole the flat screen out of there. How they got away with it when there were “camera’s” I’ll never know but from the looks of things, people don’t care about anything but themselves. I hope things change!
So what that Joakim Noah Bashed Cleveland!
Cleveland is, I don’t know about Cleveland, man. I mean there is nothing going on around here, man. The streets are kind of bare. It’s bad, man, it’s bad”
I mean come on! Its not like he wasn’t telling the truth. Cleveland, is a ghost town. There isn’t shit to do here and the crime rate is through the roof. They just closed over 18-20 schools, more jobs are leaving, and the only thing people have anything looking forward to is Lebron James, which I hope leaves.
Then the former Florida Gator then decided to take his disrespect for Cleveland another step further. When a reporter inquired about the possible backlash from Cleveland fans and asked, ”but doesn’t that motivate you a little bit?”
Noah’s response was,”What, that Cleveland sucks?”
I would have to say that was pretty hilarious. If you can’t laugh at yourself…ah you know the saying. I don’t understand why Cleveland is so pissy about what Joakim Noah said when the Bulls has lost twice to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I’m only saying that because they are doing far better than the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Browns. Maybe they should just sit back and let the Fagaliers take care of Joakim Noah shit talking. Yes, that’s right, I never liked the Cavaliers and I won’t start now. Some say that Joakim Noah is desperate to win so his snide remarks would be “justifiable”. Honestly they are justifiable, some people just can’t take the truth. Cleveland sucks and I should know because I live in the heart of Downtown Cleveland. There is no nightlife, and if you don’t drink you mind as well go home and take your ass to sleep.
Why do anybody want to stay in this city or surrounding areas? People are moving out like greased lightning and soon I’ll be following suit. There should be a lot more to do downtown besides the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center but what can you expect from a city that pins all its hope on revitalizing downtown by driving out all the businesses that help draw people to downtown for a few bars and clubs that aren’t even open til evening?
Isn’t it already well known that no one really likes Joakim Noah or do I have someone other shit talking NBA player mixed up with him? I think even a blind man can see that this character is trying to get in the Guinness World Record‘s for the most hated NBA player ever; more power to the clown.
Hell, look at the Cleveland Browns, they can’t stay out of jail to save their lives. Every other month to a week, one of them is in jail. So right on Joakim Noah, its about time someone said it!
So according to Forbes, Cleveland Ranks #1 as the most ‘Miserable City’…
[Click here for America's 20 Most Miserable Cities]
Well I would have to agree…
Residents of the Mistake by the Lake endure brutal winters, high crime and a tortured sports history. They are voting with their feet as the net migration out of the metro area was 71,000 over the past five years.
I mean come on, The Cleveland Cavaliers has been here since the 1970′s and they haven’t even won a championship. Although they aren’t the only ones that haven’t but this isn’t about them. The Browns; Lets not talk about the Browns, I don’t even want to get started on them. I live in Downtown Cleveland I must say it beats staying in the ghetto for sure. Even though at times walking through Tower City is like riding up and down St. Clair/Superior; especially on 105. I just know when I move out of Ohio, I won’t be looking back, ever.
This video below just about sums up everything I have to say about Cleveland, Ohio.
The Funniest Shit I’ve Read All Morning
CLEVELAND — Police arrested a Parma man for a string of robberies that happened on January 14.Anthony Collier, 54, was charged with one count of aggravated robbery and two counts of robbery.Police said Collier walked into a Shell gas station on Albrecht Avenue and got a cup of coffee.
He had one hand in his pocket, acting like he had a gun, and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk refused and he only got away with the cup of coffee. Only 10 minutes later, police said Collier went into a McDonald’s on East Market Street and acted the same way.
When the employee refused to give him money, he tried to open the drawer himself. The register didn’t open and he fled.Police said Collier was able to grab $40 from the Circle K on West Market Street. The clerk followed him out of the store and demanded the money back. Collier gave the money back to the clerk and got into his car.
I’m sorry [not really] if you read this and didn’t find it funny; I didn’t say it would be funny to you, its funny to me. Its early and I haven’t been to sleep yet because of this sharp pain in my abdomen. So I needed to find something to put a smile on my face. He has got to be the dumbest robber in Cleveland right now.
18 Schools Are to be Closed Here in Cleveland
Only 54% of the kids in the Cuyahoga school district are graduating from school. That’s a very low percentage and is why the 18 schools are being closed and a lot of teachers are being laid off so Eugene Sanders say. I’m sure there are a lot of parents that are pretty upset about this decision. Especially those who live close to that school and now have to find means of transportation to get them to a school that’s farther away.
Who is at fault for 54% of the children graduating from school? Some say its the lazy parents who don’t push their kids to learn or to actually go to school. Others say its the kids that don’t want to learn so they do what they want in school, if they even get inside the school doors. Most say that its teachers and the lack of care from the teachers. Who knows what’s true or not? The thing is this, 18 schools are going to close here, a couple years back I believe 15 schools were closed and 5-6 were demolished and all that is left is an empty lot. My city where I lay my head is becoming more of a place where dreams go to die instead of place where dreams go to live and to thrive.
I don’t understand how closing all of these schools, stuffing kids in already over accumulated classrooms is going to help the issue. If anything its going to make it worse. The icing on the cake though is RTA and its ‘budget cut’. They’re shutting down a lot of routes here which will infact cause people to lose their jobs and or drop out of school. The reason to that is because the lack of ridership and they’re trying to get out of debt. In the meantime while they’re worrying about their financial woes, people won’t be able to get to here and there without them. If anything, ridership should be rising as soon as the schools are closed. Especially if most of the kids are being sent to one specific school where there’s a bus route.
I’m truly feeling sorry for the people of Cleveland, Ohio because the kids that want to learn aren’t being acknowledged at all. They’re being stuck on the back burner and probably will be thrown into a worse predicament than it was before their original school closed. I’m sure there will be a rise in home-schooling and other means of educating children come this June or sooner. Here I thought it was bad when I was still in High School. Worse has yet to come.
A Dear ‘Jimmy’ Letter
Dear ‘Jimmy’,
How are you? I would assume that you’re upset based on all of those nasty, and ignorant racist comments you left on my blog 5 minutes ago. NO TELLING what I did or said to receive such disrespect but just know this. If you want to get under my skin, come to Cleveland, Ohio if you’re not already here and smack the shit out of me or hurt someone I love because racism or you assuming things about my life you have no clue of will not move me. I would like to use this time to tell you that don’t even bother commenting on this blog any more. It’ll go straight to the spam and be automatically deleted. You can e-mail me if you like but I probably won’t respond but if I do it probably won’t get to you because a pussy like you would just use a fake e-mail. I would like to also tell you thank you. You just proved a worthy point of mine. You’re the very ‘nigger‘ you’re so comfortably calling me.
Love, Asilee.
ClevelandSwag.com is the most Ugliest Representation of Cleveland I’ve Ever Seen!
First off when you first visit the site you have to adjust your eyes to the colors chosen for the site, then you have to get past the part where it says “F*@K THE HATERS!” then to enter the site you have to click “Get your cle SWAG on”. First of all, swag in “urban” terminology is:
To have your own style. [According to what my readers have told me].
How in the hell does Cleveland as a city of Ohio have “swag”? I don’t know but I know if you’re going to represent Cleveland in such a manner, don’t make a whole site about it making Cleveland, Ohio look bad. It looks bad by itself, it doesn’t need to be in the form of a poorly done site. Speaking of which, on the site some if not most of the links are nonoperational. The header of the site says “Untitled”. It look like it was made by some deranged gang member. Oh, but let me tell you what ClevelandSwag.com is all about…
Cleveland Swag.com is your new favorite website. [O'RLY?! You know that how?]
Cleveland Swag.com is the site that’s about to kick your ass, so brace yourselves! [Yea okay, the only thing that's going to be kicked is me kicking myself in the ass for finding that site.]
Cleveland Swag is a PRO CLEVELAND website. [It needs to be aborted.]
We have formed to serve two purposes: [This site has no purpose.]
1) To force Clevelanders to get their swag on and start representing their city. [Define swag and less and that's what this site is.]
2) To slap the taste out of our haters’ mouths. [Yea, you're really going to do that online.]
And speaking of haters, we’re starting with the sissy, pantywaist losers who live here that have no love for their own city. [Why does it matter to you about what others think about where they lay their head?]
Some of you bitches need a good old-fashioned pimp-slap, and Cleveland Swag.com is more than happy to deliver. [Yea you're going to hand deliver pimp-slaps via internet]
The days of people dissing Cleveland are over. Belee dat! [WTF? All Clevelanders don't talk like that!]
I feel like I’m getting ahead of myself, so let’s back up a minute. [The moment you entertained and pursued the idea of making this site you was ahead of yourself.]
The idea of representing Cleveland is there but the purpose is all wrong. It lacks structure and it makes Cleveland look even more ridiculous. The character even had the nerve to advertise his website on Cleveland.com. The nerve of this jokester.
Are you tired of the sorry Clevelanders who sit around year after year and dwell over our “bad luck” in sports, even though one of the most famous, amazing basketball players in the world is from here and plays for our team? [So having a good player automatically diminishes all the supposedly "bad luck"? & the Cleveland Cavaliers still lose. Come Summer 2010 there won't be no more Lebron James and good riddens for that. He can't show his true potential with a half-ass team like the Cavaliers.]
If you live here and you enjoy sports I don’t think getting tired of the Cleveland Browns, the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Cavaliers forever losing is considered “dwelling”. The hockey team we had was better than all three of those put together.
This “creator” of ClevelandSwagless.com is “tired” of Clevelanders and their “low self-esteem” well honestly if its that bad, don’t make a website that’s really nothing but a bunch of bullshit, just move the hell out of Ohio. Really would anyone want this character representing all of Cleveland? If it was up to this person, we would be the laughing stock of the nation. We already have a sharing title of one of the poorest cities in the nation, lets not make it worse K?\
Also if he/she was going to post links to other sites, at least allow them to be operational. What’s the point in saying “click here” when you really have to copy and paste? There’s also an interview section for people he feel that are famous in Cleveland or people he “feel like” interviewing but yet, there are NO interviews. Then it goes on by saying that if any celebrities [or people who need a career boost] just so happen to stumble across that site and would like to get an interview is to contact them. Well apparently they’re “swamped”. The site has been up for a while so they can’t be too “swamped”.
Well if I need a few laughs because my day was shitty, I know exactly where to go. ClevelandSwassg.com.
Update 10-20-11: Well, I don’t know when it happened but it happened. The site is down.
Like this:
Citizens of Cleveland Ohio worry about the wrong things
Here in Cleveland Ohio when people listen, watch, or read about bad news they always start with “Only on the East Side“. Well since you individuals never leave your damn house, how do you think such stupid things? You think you’re safe on the West? Hell the North or the South, these things happen regardless where you’re at or what color you are. Most of these fools who mention which side it happened on is White. They say they aren’t racist but they are cause that’s all they worry about is the blacks on the East Side. This tragic event that has happened Thursday, if you want to read about it, click the links below, the only thing that a few people could say was that the blacks from the East Side was making their way to the West Side. Cleveland, Ohio is still #7 on the list of most dangerous cities. It doesn’t say which side of Cleveland, its Cleveland period. I don’t know when or how this war with the Crime rate for the West and East side’s of Cleveland but these fools who don’t want to look at the fact that people have died, 5 innocent people have died cause of one man have issues.
Shit like that disgusts me because that’s all they see is what color was they and what side of the city it happened on. What the fuck is that? How the fuck do you sleep at night when all you can sit and say is, “It only happens on the East, that’s where all the ignorant black folks are“? You pompous buffoon it all changes when something bad happens to you. When The Cleveland Plain Dealer make a article about something that has happen to you, you want justice regardless of where it happened or who did it. No but the shoe isn’t on that foot for you, its on the what side of Cleveland it happened on foot. It could be the most tragic shit ever and all these racists bastards can think of which side of Cleveland it happened on the skin pigment of the culprit(s) who did it.
It was a shooting down here where I live which is Downtown Cleveland and yet again they found a way to turn on the color issue. Yea they were colored and the people they shot and the one they killed were Latino and Caucasian. That can happen any where in Cleveland, let alone Ohio. I don’t know what it is with these civilians here but they need to get a got damn grip. Or shut they simple-minded asses up or better yet just move.
A few comments that were made about this whole ordeal was toward Obama. The hell for? Obama didn’t make him shoot his family he sure as hell didn’t give him the gun. Obama just got in office and yet people are blaming him for these deaths. When they have no one to point the finger at they get reckless. Some of these idiots who are commenting needs to be aborted. Yea, its never too late.
I will post print screen shots of the fools making these comments. A few were deleted by the author of those articles cause they were out right ignorant. One of them were “Those don’t sound like West Side people names“. The fuck kind of bullshit you smoking? That’s the dumbest shit of the year.
Then we got ignorant fucks who applaud in this type of shit. He needs to be dealt with too. His state of mind will take him out sooner or later.
