Cleveland advice

Was the Irish place on St. Patrick's Day Flannery's? If so, we ran into each other and didn't even know it. I was already quite blitzed after pounding Guinness at the Winking Lizard. Someone bought me a shot of Jagermeister (hey, I'm half-German too), which had to have been at least a triple-shot. Closed that dump.

 

Bubbler: that's the place. Did you see former NBAer Doug West striking out with about a dozen 4s before finally finding a taker? Hilarious.

TSP: And I made fun of those ugly GMU girls you mentioned. You musta missed that. Can't imagine how.

 

So it was the ass-kicking by tOSU that put the tears in your eyes.

 

So now you're shit-talking the number one team in the country beating my poor little mid major team? How proud you must be. Celebrate by hitting the clubs downtown. Dance with a 3. Have a ball!

 

Dammit I missed that!

 

It was quite a show. Once I figured out who it was, I looked up his wiki page from my phone and found this little passage...

"In the late 1990s, West suffered from depression and alcoholism, for which he sought treatment."

That's right. Doug West conquers all!

 

It's the tradition throughout the region for as long as I can remember. Get wasted and party from morning until the late afternoon. Sleep it off after that.

I think it has a lot to do with aggressive DUI patrols to tell you the truth.

 

That was another thing I noticed: cops everywhere. Hundreds of them. At least three or four in every bar. More just walking up and down the street. Even more in patrol cars. On Saturday, they had 6th St. blocked off and there must have been 10 cop cars just sitting there, waiting for something to pop off. Nothing did, at least when we were there.

 

Maybe they thought BYH was going to assassinate Jim Larranaga?

 

Staying across the street from the baseball field in October and haven't been to Cleveland in 7-8 years. Are the Flats dead? Where's a good spot to walk around at night (other than around our hotel)?

 

Flats are dead. Doornail dead.

We hung out around 4th Street (which I think is where you're staying) I think. Stay there. Oh, and ask TSP and Joel Hammond and Junkie.

 

The Flats look like a Scooby-Doo ghost town.
So I've heard.
