The Quicken Loans Arena is already going to be rocking this season, now that Shaquille O’Neal has joined the Cleveland Cavaliers to play alongside “King” Lebron James. But now Cavs fans can add a great eating experience along with their enjoyment of the basketball game. Cleveland's best known chef and Food Network "Iron Chef" star Michael Symon has opened two new eateries in the “Q”: The B Spot, and Bar Symon. Here is a quick preview of the new restaurants, courtesy of Positively Cleveland.

Update: Cleveland’s Lakefront Howard Johnson's Being Demolished
In July 2008, I wrote here about “Cleveland’s Shameful Eyesore: Lakefront Howard Johnson’s". The old Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge building has been vacant for years, and despite promises of the property being renovated or re-imagined for other use, nothing had happened. After a few legal battles with property owners and the city, the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court recently removed a restraining order this month that had prevented the demolition. The main building is now under the wrecking ball.
The WJW Fox 8 News facility sits in front of the old Howard Johnson’s, and they have had their cameras trained on the building while the wrecking ball goes at it. (Video below.) It’s a pity the demolition isn't being done by implosion. At the rate this wrecking ball is going at it, the building will still be standing years from now. But, it is good to see that this eyesore will eventually be history.
You can find a few photos of the hotel, past and present day at: “Cleveland’s Shameful Eyesore: Lakefront Howard Johnson’s".

New WKYC Weather Promo A Bright Forecast for Betsy and Hollie
It’s such a shame that NBC’s airing of Jay Leno at 10:00 PM may be ruining the lead in to WKYC Channel 3 News. Possibly to combat the Leno effect, WKYC is putting out some great promos for its news shows.
One promo that started airing recently deserves special attention. First, it features two of the Cleveland’s favorite meteorologists, Betsy Kling and Hollie Strano. (This is the “we prepare you, not scare you” team, unlike WEWS’ Mark Johnson, who always seems to scare you.) Second, it is reminiscent of the classic, and very popular late 1970s TV ad for WEWS Channel 5 that paired news anchors Ted Henry and Dave Patterson.
Here are the new WKYC weather promo and the classic WEWS promo, for your enjoyment.
