[PRCo] Re: Chiodo's tavern streetcar facade

[hrbran99 at adelphia.net]

Ford just a few weeks ago anounced they were laying off hundreds in Lorain County (next county west of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County). Hope "Billy" looks at the Detroit area in a different light. Move to Cleveland, we still have working steel and aluminum mills and auto assembly plants (GM). Also have streetcars and surface "subway" trains.
