With all of the new fast food chains opening in the Heights area it would be nice to have bowling and roller skating available. My Heights High teen and her friends complain that there is nothing to do and wished they could go skating instead of having to go to a movie or hang out
outside. That would probably help some of the crime and allow for physical activity instead of eating and sitting in a theater.

We do have two ice rinks. I agree, a family-type bowling alley like Freeway Lanes in Solon would be nice. The old bowling alleys at Cedar Center and Severance were kinda dirty and seedy.

Bowling is not the cure to youth crime. Yes, many kids would like bowling, lazer tag and a Dave and Busters in the Heights. But, these attractions will not prevent youth from stealing iPads, joining a gang, etc. Then again, Dave and Busters would be very nice!

No, Emily, bowling doesnt solve anything. The kids stealing iPads and beating kids up for their Jordans are not hanging out at the bowling alley, they are on the street and at places like the Noble Gas USA that sells fruit flavored cigars, "legal highs", blueberry zig-zags and marijuana pipes. Incidentally, I bet you could buy some reefer to put in that pipe from one of the kids that hangs out in the parking lot.
Anyway, kids that do behave deserve places like parks, coffee shops, bowling alleys, arcades where they can congregate. Cleveland Heights has effectively removed a lot of those places with their curfew rules.

Agreed. New site is much too busy and/or confusing. Old format was easy to navigate and followRead More certain stories , a very cumbersome ordeal now. Thumbs down on the change.

I agree. I had even been tempted to start a blog just before this new and "improved"Read More layout. No longer interested in doing that - can't find anything on this patch.

That's odd. I was at the previous meeting, my first - on Global Warming, paid dues for the firstRead More time ever, wrote down my e-mail more than once, and still had no idea there was a meeting was last night.

Location is on Ormond Road, between Lee and South Taylor (the Heights main library is on the corner)

Along those lines, Diane, I thought an indoor greenhouse would be a good idea. Classes on how toRead More create gardens, grow food, store and preserve food would be an asset to the City.

Diane H. Dreizen & bachtobroadway42 - what interesting ideas! I'd love to see the whole messRead More raised and the area turned into a public park/recreation area with walking trails, bicycle paths, community gardens, etc. It seems the wind turbines could be in a place like that too. That's my dream, but we'll probably get some hideous redundant commercial development instead.

Fantastic ideas. I think a combo of retail and new green technology would be awesome. This is aRead More chance for CH to be innovative and show that it's not about the bottom dollar - it's about preserving what we have. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THE NEXT MEETING IS - I WILL BE THERE!!!

Just ignore them then. The important thing is what we're talking about HERE.

Please join the conversation. The proposed school bond would be a timely starting point!
