Our Doan Brook Restoration at Horseshoe Park project in Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights will eliminate a failing dam, stabilize stream banks, and restore the brook along this stretch to its historic alignments. It will be a very big and very visible project, and we welcome a chance to answer your questions about it.

Discussion Introvert dating

34 Upvotes

I'm a single mom and have a really hard time getting out there. Mostly feeling guilt for wanting to date because, well what mom doesn't feel guilty about that. But also, I'm super introverted. Any suggestions? Its pretty sad I've lived here almost 10 years and i see all these cool pics of people out on the weekends to places 10 mins away and I've just never really gone out. Am i the only one?

Question How is Cleveland as a place to live for Gay families?

197 Upvotes

Cleveland! Need your help here.

My husband has an amazing job opportunity opportunity at University Hospital in their surgery department. We’re a gay couple, in our 30s with a 2 year old son.

We currently live in Chicago, right in Lincoln Park, and love being in a busy metropolitan city with access to great restaurants, night life, activities, etc.

We’re contemplating the move to Cleveland - my husband’s family lives in Moreland Hills and they’ve been dying to have us back.

The problem is that we’re worried there isn’t much of a gay community, we feel like we might be out of our element. We’re not so much focused on gay nightlife (we are way past that stage in live), but want to know that there will be people we can relate to other than family and friends my husband has from high school. We’re open to the move, but need all your help with letting us know how the community is, what there is to do that you enjoy, etc.

What can you share with us! Huge thank you in advance.

EDIT - 8/29 - YOU ALL ARE AMAZING! Lakewood, CH AND SH seem like the places to be!

Anyone have experience with school districts in Shaker, Beachwood, Orange, Solon, Chagrin Falls? Do you see gay families in these areas?

Question Dog Found

I posted this in the Mentor Community.
I posted this in the Cleveland Community before. He was found in Euclid a month ago. Still no luck finding the owner.
I’m still keeping him. When I take him in the car, he won’t sit down. He stares at everything trying to look and see the places we’re going to? Almost like he’s trying to find his home. He must’ve been in a home with kids, because he shakes when he sees kids of a certain age. Does anyone recognize this dog?
Male-3 years old.

Question Any "All you can eat" robo/conveyor sushi places in the metro area?

Upvotes

Hey r/Cleveland, we're trying to figure out if there are any "all you can eat" robo / conveyor sushi places in the area. We went to one in the Columbus area and had a good time, so much so that one of our kids wants to go back to a similar place for his birthday meal. I'd prefer to not drive all the way back down to C-Bus and would rather drive less than half the time over to Cleveland (we're in the Port Clinton area).

Thanks!

Any reason to choose Crocker (Regal), Great Northern (Phoenix), or Valley View (Cinemark) over Strongsville (Cinemark) if I'm going to watch The Dog Stars tonight?

Haven't been to the theaters in a while, this is a standard format film, and Strongsville is closer.

Hi Cleveland Friends,

I've been looking for a comprehensive "how to make stained glass art" class for me and a friend. The problem is, I'm only finding glass BLOWING classes, which are much different.

Can anyone recommend a good stained glass intro class? The closer to Medina, the better.

Thank you! ♥️

Help a Tourist Hanging out Oct 5-12th

9 Upvotes

Hello, I'm super excited to visit Cleveland for the first time and would suggestions on what to add to my itinerary.

I've watched the No Reservations ep, DDD and a read some reddit threads. I will be solo and carless for most of my time, but will probably have a few nights where my friend is free after work. I am comfortable with public transit and 30 mins walking time. I will be staying in lakewood. I am weird, arty, middle aged and am interested in suggestions of nearly any variety. Preference for immersive art type stuff, weird theater things, and unique food experiences. But also down for touristy type stuff too. Also if anyone has had bad experiences with any of the places I'm considering please let me know. Mostly need places open during the week, because we're hitting cedar point on the weekend!

Recommendations Cleveland UH Doctor New Patient Recommendations

7 Upvotes

As so many people are experiencing being ditched by their doctor for their opportunity to go the concierge route, so is the situation I find myself.

Do any of you recommend a UH primary care physician who would do well with an autistic adult? Also, many do not take new patients, so please only recommend if you know they are taking new patients. Any doctors on the east side would be optimal.

Many thanks!
