Going Suave With the Sewers

Northeast Ohio is going to experience a large surge in sewer costs. As the Plain Dealer reports it:

“For Cleveland residents, that adds up to a 59 percent increase over the next five years – from $28.10 a month to $44.75 a month. The average suburban bill will increase 47 percent – from $32.60 a month to $48 a month.”

Looks like Cleveland is behind on meeting federal mandates for water treatment, so they are jacking the prices in order to fix up the sewers post haste. I was going to comment on the fact that the Ninja Turtles are stoked over these renovations, but I forgot those fuckers live in New York. Another dream crushed.

PETA Chicks Get Naked to Save Chicks

Scene’s blog, yes, that one, reports on PETA’s recent venture to the KFC on Carnegie. Members of the animal rights group got naked and covered themselves with a sign in order to draw attention to their issues with the chicken chain. A guy from Q104 also showed up in a chicken costume and ate a bucket of the Colonel’s treats in front of the ladies, only adding to the circus-like atmosphere. Still no word yet from the PETA camp on whether the Pizza Hut located inside this KFC was hurting any animals in the process of making those Book-It sized pizzas or bread sticks. And yes, pervs, there are photos.

No Car, No Highway Benefits

So yeah, there is going to be a shit load of construction on the Innerbelt and highway driving will change for Clevelanders, but it seems like everybody is forgetting those who don’t travel via automobile. According to The Free Times, one in four homes in Cleveland do not own a car. A pretty large number, and those people, mostly bike riders, are hoping to see some changes for them too. In other words, they want some god damned bike lanes, people. You know you want to know more.
