Cuff Those Jeans and Clip that Bag Across Your Chest

For those about to get nitpicky: yes this does have to do with mountain biking and not street biking, making the title not exactly legit, but whatever, be happy your getting news today, two-wheelers. MidTown Cleveland Inc. is looking to build a $1.1 million dollar mountain biking park near East 55th street. and Euclid. So far however the dudes in charge have only managed to weasel $100,000 from our ever-loving government. That means mad money still needs to be raised and the group is looking for corporate help. But don’t worry, there will be dirt jumps.

Ohio: Hard Up for Natural Disasters

Hey, listen, we get to hear about hurricanes, blizzards, tsunamis, and all that other shit, so when we get hit with a “minor” earthquake we can revel in it, ok. Last night a 3.6 magnitude quake hit parts of Portage, Summit, and Cuyahoga counties. As could be expected people freaked out (you know grandma called someone) over rattling dishes and dogs jumping up, with one man even stating that, “it felt like somebody ran into our house with a car.” If you know what that feels like, I’m very sorry, but I really think there would be a bit more of a drafty feeling coming from the huge hole. In the wake of the quake (everybody likes rhyming, right?) many shaken citizens bombarded police stations with calls. Which means that instead of stalking women, officers had to answer phones. No damage gained, just fuel for bad conversations.

A K Not So Rowdy

Just when you think Pitchfork has forgotten about the existence of Cleveland, they talk with The Black Keys. Drummer Patrick Carney goes on about A LOT of stuff. Pitchfork name drops Danger Mouse and Ike Turner to get mouths watering, but their is also label and music talk too, folks. In other words, too much for me to wax clever and snarky on right here. Instead you can enjoy the Q and A yourselves. I kind of forgot this band existed.
