8/3- For anyone still looking for updates on this, we are officially a couple and are looking forward to the future 🥰

THE UPDATE EVERYONE HAS WAITED FOR: He has been found!!!! A guy I reached out to from the Instagram post gave him my account and he messaged me from there! Can confirm he is single :). Will update again when possible. But thank you to everyone who shared or spread the word. In a time of lots of bad news, I’m glad we could unite behind a common goal of trying to find a missing connection 🩷.

If you were the dark haired maintenance guy at the Cleveland airport who hurt himself while working on the frontier flight at 6am this morning (7/8):

Hi I hope you’re okay and this is a long shot but like I didn’t see no ring (lol) and I wanted to give you my number while you were standing next to my seat and I smiled at you but you looked really busy. You were very handsome and I’m also an aviation enthusiast, so like if you see this and you’re open to it, I’d love to connect with you :) I’m hoping maybe I’ll run into you in the airport when I come back home after my vacation, but that would mean my plane is probably broken so maybe not lol.

Someone here has to work in the airport and know who I’m talking about. Help a girly out and show him this post on his lunch break 😭

UPDATE: I cannot believe how much this post popped off, seeing it on the news and on Hopkins pages is insane. I have been following a few leads who think they might know who it is but I haven’t heard back if they have directed him to this post yet but I absolutely will once I know more. Thank you to everyone for investigating and encouragement!

Update #3 7/10: hi y’all for anyone who didn’t see I was interviewed on the news lmao, we have been talking pretty much constantly since we connected and it’s going very well and we’ve already planned a date when I come back. Hopkins also reached out to me and wants to interview me/maybe also him when I fly back so keep an eye out on Sunday for that on their socials. As of now, I can say we are hitting it off and I have high hopes lol, I think connections are easier when an entire city ships you 😂. Thanks for all the kind wishes, more to come when I’m not on vacation!

Final update (for now) 7/13: thank you for coming on this whirlwind hallmark story with me everyone. Simon and I have cemented our first date plans and it’ll be fun to see where this leads! As of right now this will probably be the last update but I did want to let everyone know we met at the airport last night and he brought flowers and the whole nine yards. To everyone out there looking: take that chance, seize your moment, and don’t let anyone steal your shine ✨

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment, my bill went from $182 to $387. Allegedly from an actual reading. Has anyone else had a huge jump from last month? I keep the air between 70-72 degrees, and I know it was really hot last month, but other than that I don't know what could have caused this. Help!

Edit: Thank you so much to everyone who has chimed in with advice or just to commiserate. It seems like we are all feeling the pinch after an extremely hot month. I am going to make an effort to turn the air down a few degrees, especially during the day. I am also going to look into suppliers and make sure the electric company got an accurate reading. Hopefully next month's bill is not as bad.

I currently live in Northern Virginia. But I'm moving to Cleveland due to getting a job after school. Why when I mention I'm moving to Cleveland every single response has been negative. Responses including concerns for my safety with Cleveland, saying why would anyone move to Cleveland, and just overall just general negative vibes and comments. I visited Cleveland multiple times during the job interview and acceptance process. It seemed like Cleveland is a great place to me. Am I missing something or what?

Cleveland! Need your help here.

My husband has an amazing job opportunity opportunity at University Hospital in their surgery department. We’re a gay couple, in our 30s with a 2 year old son.

We currently live in Chicago, right in Lincoln Park, and love being in a busy metropolitan city with access to great restaurants, night life, activities, etc.

We’re contemplating the move to Cleveland - my husband’s family lives in Moreland Hills and they’ve been dying to have us back.

The problem is that we’re worried there isn’t much of a gay community, we feel like we might be out of our element. We’re not so much focused on gay nightlife (we are way past that stage in live), but want to know that there will be people we can relate to other than family and friends my husband has from high school. We’re open to the move, but need all your help with letting us know how the community is, what there is to do that you enjoy, etc.

What can you share with us! Huge thank you in advance.

EDIT - 8/29 - YOU ALL ARE AMAZING! Lakewood, CH AND SH seem like the places to be!

Anyone have experience with school districts in Shaker, Beachwood, Orange, Solon, Chagrin Falls? Do you see gay families in these areas?

This is probably going to be so annoying to most people to see in their feeds but I've hit my wit's end. I am a single woman in her late 20s that has struggled with dating. I am a nurse, I own my home, I work out and take care of myself in other ways, my health and friendships are important to me, and I like to think I am reasonably attractive. Where do successful guys in their late 20s - early 30s hang out?? I don't want to meet guys out at bars, drinking/party culture is fun occasionally but I prefer not to in excess. Guys at the gym usually have girlfriends if I talk to them (I've been going to the same place for almost a decade and only approach people I've seen around for a long time). At this rate I feel like there is something I am doing wrong, and while my life is great as it is, sometimes it would be nice to be excited about someone.

EDIT Alright, listen, a lot of assumptions here about me. I talk to people all of the time, I am not shy. I have a philosophy that the worst thing that can happen in 90% of situations is that I get told no and oh well, rejection is a part of life.

I have hobbies, I am not necessarily looking for new ones because I dont want my reason to be somewhere to just be about MAYBE meeting a guy - that is completely disingenuous and is not a good base for a relationship should one develop.

My job has insane hours, I work 3 days M-F from 0630 to 2000 and then sometimes am on call overnight and am on call all weekend for one weekend every 6 week scheduling period. This makes it hard to date or want to go out a lot of the time between not being allowed to be too far from work or just being exhausted.

Anyone curious about how I look can DM me, for the sake of imagination I am 5'1" (I dont care how tall a man is as long as I can wear heels and dont feel like I am tougher than he is), 135lbs and can deadlift 235 easy, I am mixed race, have big curly dark hair and dark eyes. I prioritize my grooming and self care because I work really hard and deserve to feel good in this body.

UPDATE: The detective informed me that even though I wanted to press charges on all involved that the DA decided not to pursue. Apparently calling people idiots and filming them is enough justification for assault and he didn't think they would be able to win the case. The only person that I know of so far that will be receiving any kind of punishment is the driver, who was arrested on assault and leaving the scene of the accident.

On Saturday night on my way home from playhouse square my car was sideswiped by a group of young kids. They were being followed by another car full of kids (8 kids total, looked to be between 14 and 17 years old)

Before I could even exit my vehicle the driver of the SUV that hit me jumped out of the car and ripped off their license plate. Also before I exited my vehicle I was punched in the face through my window by another kid.

I got out and took video of the scene, making sure to get everyone's face. One of the kids (a girl) took my phone while I was recording and tried to keep it away from me, she slapped me multiple times (which I got footage of) I was punched again by one of the boys during the time that the girl had my phone, so I didn't get any footage of that.

I didn't get a good shot of one of the kids, because they were wearing a half mask and had their hoodie up. This kid pulled a pistol out of their waistband and turned on a red laser that was side mounted. He proceeded to point it at my chest. I unfortunately did not get any of this on camera, as I was already walking back to my car to call the police.

It was at this time that I got in my car and left the scene, but not before taking another sucker punch to the face through my open window, chipping one of my teeth on my left side.

I wasn't sure my car was going to make it. I called the police on my way home and they arrived later to take my statement.

They informed me that they had already caught the driver (the idiot called to report the car stolen and they ID'd him when they went to take his statement)

They have also ID'd the girls but I chose not to press charges on them bc they didn't really hurt me and I didn't want their lives thrown away over hanging out with the wrong crowd. EDIT: You all have convinced me otherwise I will reach back out to the detective ASAP

I need to know what course of action I can take to get my vehicle repaired or replaced, and what legal action is available to me. I just had all my teeth fixed a few months ago after years of having a smile I couldn't be proud of and now I have to get more work done. I don't want to have to pay out of pocket for that again.

I don't even know where to start or what lawyers are reputable for this kind of work. I have no expendable income currently either which I'm sure makes it all the more difficult

EDIT: Per request, I posted a link to the video on google drive in the comments.

Please connect or refer me if you’ve had a negative experience with this church and you are a lawyer or know of a lawyer who can help me. Thank you 🙏

Am I the only one? It has been like this every day for over a week. The calls are all recordings of a social security benefit or a home update program.

Am I the only one? The numbers are never the same but most are 216.

Interpret the word ‘mysterious’ however you will. Like “how is this place still open?”, “how are these portions profitable?”, “who are the people that run this?”

I drive on I-271 almost every day and there’s a white Jeep that’s constantly pulled over on the shoulder (usually around the same stretch). I’ve seen it there way too often for it to be random. Has anyone else noticed this Jeep that’s always pulled over?

Loving this epic stretch of sunny days in the 60’s. I sleep hot so keeping a window cracked with the overnight temps in the 40’s-50’s doesn’t bother me. Curious to know if a daytime internal home temp in the low 60’s is too low. It feels a little chilly in the morning but the afternoon sun warms things up again. Have you turned it in yet?

I see Cleveland- Lorain is in the hazardous zone of 607 and it’s not safe to step out i wonder how long this is going to go on , this is ridiculous i have not stepped out yet , i do have work later .

My primary care physician is ending his practice along with several other Internists because he and UH have converted his practice into a Concierge service for wealthy people to have on-demand physicians and basically dropped everyone else. I'm furious and disgusted but not surprised. This is the way the economics are heading. Back to a pre-WWII economy.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I promise I'm not lazy, I've been searching the whole time I've lived here and I can't figure out where people stand to see this. Please! Where is it. Someone said university circle, but where in UC?!

My boyfriend and I just moved here about three weeks ago, and while I’ve had three interviews, they’ve all either denied me or ghosted me. I’ve submitted countless applications to no avail. I can’t even really explore the city because I’m broke. Is anyone actually hiring right now? I live in Lakewood near Edgewater. I don’t drive, so I’d be taking the bus. Preferably retail but im willing to branch out.

What makes people on here dislike Parma so much?

Before anyone attacks me, yes I feel terrible the officers were attacked/murdered. Yes it was wrong. Yes I feel for their families and think they should be honored.

I also think it is wrong to close the tax payer funded highways for a police escort. I am literally going to be late to my job as a nurse because of it. If it was a group of fire fighters, nurses, or a school full of kids, would they be closing the highway like this?

I am a professional woman married to another professional woman ( the gays) with a family history of CYC membership. We are both in our 30s with three small kids. As a kid my grandparents and extended family were very active members. I enjoyed the pool and sticky buns but never really mingled as it wasn’t really my crowd ( no offense). My grandparents were members for 70 years and my mom had a fond nostalgia for the “club”. Recently, she’s been hounding me to join as my wife has coworkers who are members and have offered to sponsor her. I asked my mother if CYC let non-straight non-whites join and she told me she knew a few Italian family’s that were members….yikes. I’m curious to know if anyone knows what the admission standards are in terms of minority members . Please don’t come at me. I’m using this for research purposes as I’m sure it will come up at thanksgiving and I’d like to be informed.

Hi everyone! My husband (30M) and I (29F) may be relocating to the Cleveland area if he receives a promotion. His work location would be either near North Ridgeville or Kent, depending on where they decide to place him.

We’re starting to explore different suburbs and would love recommendations on the best areas to raise a family while still finding a reasonably priced home. Ideally, we’d love to live somewhere with a cute downtown area, local restaurants and shops, and plenty of family-friendly activities to enjoy.

We’ve been looking into Strongsville and Streetsboro so far, but we’re definitely open to other suggestions. We’d love to hear about your experiences living in these areas or any other suburbs you would recommend.

Thank you so much!

is anyone up? I just landed back in cleveland after dealing with three days of nonstop delays coming from TPA with frontier. My car is dead currently at the Brook park RTA lot. I just moved here recently and my only friend lives in Akron and has no car. Anyone willing to give me a jump?

Update: ForbidenNjnja saved my night and no one got robbed. I love this city. If this happened back in my hometown Tampa i’d most likely get robbed and banned from the subreddit lol
