"DON'T ASK ME NO QUESTIONS' lynyrd skynyrd


So don't ask me no questions
And I won't tell you no lies



This was passed on to me last week. And to be honest I don't know whether to laugh or cry?

I love hearing great things about Painesville, and at the same time wonder how much did this cost  and who paid for it?

These Are The 10 Best Cleveland Suburbs For  Young Professionals

Looking for the best Cleveland suburbs to live in out of college? Check out why Willoughby, Lakewood, and Painesville topped our list.

By Cassie Sheets

Painesville

Residents age 22-290   11.5%

Total amenities   1,317

Young professionals searching for the perfect home in Painesville have a range of options, from affordable cottage and ranch style homes,  to spacious craftsman and Colonial style houses on large lots. Active young professionals will love weekend fishing trips at Kiwanis Recreation Park while golf enthusiasts  can hit the links and network at Casement Golf Course.
Numerous boutiques, specialty stores, and local restaurants are available along Painesville's charming Main Street.

With two homes advertised for sale one in Heisley  Park and the other in Whaler's Cove.

I was waiting to here how our Electric Power Plant was the 'greenest' in the state? Practically zero emissions for the past year.

So I am to believe only Willoughby and Lakewood made us #3?

We beat out Berea, Medina, Bedford, Westlake, Mentor, Cleveland Heights and Fairview Park?

Wonder if Cassie ever heard of Tremont in Cleveland?

WOW!!

Seems to be a few things to consider though? Casement has been closed since the flood of 2006,
Please name these boutiques and specialty stores?
These restaurants well, better eat before 3:00 pm Downtown pretty much rolls up the sidewalks at 5:00 for the most part.

There's always Subway!

Someone forgot to mention the Chili Cook off as well as the Bathtub Races?

A friend looking for a house questioned me about Painesville. I asked him what his price range was? $300,000 to $350,000 he answered. Well I exclaimed Painesville is the place for you. We can easily put you into 10 or 11 homes for that price. One for each day of the week and have 3 left for company!

Truly I hope not a soul spent a dime on this!


Something I learned today that DrumpF might have a point. I believed the reason Ford was building that billion dollar assembly plant in Mexico was cheap labor. Well I was only half right. It seems if you build a Ford Focus or any product here in the states and say you ship it to a country in Europe the vehicle is hit with a stiff tariff. If you build that Ford Focus or any product in Mexico and you ship it to Europe guess what, Zero tariff same company same product. Now how can anyone be a supporter of 'Free' trade?

10:16 your probably right. I was thinking of that development by Horvath's Lagoons? Just as you get ready to go over the bridge into Fairport.

Maybe called Windjammers Cove, Moby Dick Estates, It's hard to keep up.

For a person who prides himself in living in and knowing Painesville, by posting this blog you should know what you are talking about and check what you say before you post it. To confuse property from Mentor to Painesville is wrong. So is dismissing it as being hard to keep up with. Know before you post.

1:06 I was wrong. I apologize! I didn't see it as quite the big deal you did?
I was going to tell you to KMA, but Hell I having a pretty good day so again I'M SORRY!

There are so many condo and housing developments that remembering the name of any of them is tough.
The only one I know for sure is Heisley Park. The rest of them, who cares, they are still in P-town.

Is Cassie a local Girl?

5:00 I do not believe she is. Cassie Sheets is a free lance writer who has done many of the same articles for numerous cities. Boston, Nashville, Seattle to name a few. She really should do better homework.

4:08 Yes, But I was incorrect. The city's interest in Windjammer's Court is even bigger then the Refuse contract.
The plot of land extended from the river to the back of the land cost a well known developer $93,000. Then Painesville under the leadership of our former city manager as well as then council-president purchased a third of the property nearest and into the river for the City of Painesville for $250,000 hence the name Horvath's Lagoons! So the usable property was worth $40,000 and the most worthless $250,000. Don't believe me ask your present council person of property owned by the city.

Loved the picture on This Is Painesville Facebook of a picture of city workers throwing trash in a recycling bin in front of the fire station with a dumpster marked Waste Management and City of Painesville filled with money? Although it was photo shopped it still was very funny!
