Opinions for Medina County- Brunswick

[jazzologyI]

You don't have to be a glowing intellectual to see that Medina is a community of robots wondering aimlessly in search of something interesting to do. The kids that live here have nothing to do, ie, YMCA, Boys/Girls clubs, and so wondering the streets is fashionable and costly in terms of gaining criminal status before the age of 16. The courts are unsympathic and harsh, the legal counsel is nearly non-existent, and the unhealthy-looking, overweight cops are ever on the prowl looking for any unsuspecting teen to arrest and spirit off to the jail house, without even notifying the parents, I might add. Entrapment of teens seems to be a sporting way of doing business for a dumpy police force with apparently not much else to do but harrass young people. There are marginally-qualified attorneys if you need marginal representation in court. And all at a cost of a nickel a second! Such bargains you won't find elsewhere. In summary, if you aren't a criminal when you move to Medina, give them a couple of months to screw with your head. You'll get there. Death row may take a little longer!

My point isn't that Brunswick is on the slide or that it will be in 10 years or anything, but look at the trend of EVERY city in the area since WW2. They all seem to grow for about 30 or 40 years, peak, and then shrink rapidly, in outward concentric cricles from Cleveland. Hopefully, this trend will go back inwards so we don't have a HUGE donut (instead of the small donut we have now). But when you look at areas losing population, you also see some revitalization efforts in some and some that come back (like Ohio City and Tremont). The revitalization efforts are nearly always concentrated around renovating historic and architecturally intresting housing stock (or factories/warehouses as is the case with the Warehouse District and Tyler Village). You don't see ANY of this redevlopment in the dying inner-ring suburbs like Maple Heights, Garfield Heights, Brookpark, Parma, etc. And I predict the same fate will make it's way to the newer suburbs in due time. Not too long ago, I'm sure people thought Middleburg Heights was the latest greatest, and now it's already considered a less desirable suburb.

This is not a condemnation of Brunswick or people from Brunswick, but rather the unusual and unproductive migration patterns around American cities.

Really people learn a little more about how and why the cities came to be
It has to do with the lay of the land , the invention of the car,
the interstates , that get us there, the water suppy , for goodness sake
Brunswick and most of northern Summit county gets it's water from Lake Erie , from the CITY OF CLEVELAND WATER DEPARTMENT , do not tell me
yeh but ? certain things had to be already available , before a certain suburan city could have been " born" ,Brunswick and North Ridgeville
are not New Suburbs , as the mindset here may think , They were born
with the thoughts that this Greater Metro Cleveland Area , would need
this space to grow as a huge Metro City , Tremont , Many left back in the day had to do with , the pollution , caused by the steel mills , HAD TO FIND A A GREENER PLACE TO RAISE THE FAMILY , NOW YOU PEOPLE
TALK TRASH ABOUT areas , That so many Clevelanders left to " find", is so counter productive , for the whole area

Could not past this up because every teenager thinks " What " I did not do it , Father here , and My advice to MY KID was Never run from the Police , never , be disrespectfull , the kid is doing ok , and Trust me , his respect
played a major ROLE IN why it did not go further , then fines Ect.
MOVE FORWARD , U SOUND IF U HAVE A CHIP ON UR SHOLDIER , (That will follow anyone
around ), and never be good for u,
