My apologies to Jude and Amy. I took the article at face value... and it's not fair to judge someone based on a few sentences.

All I am saying is that at face value, I felt this entire article was completely offensive to everyone on this board on many levels.
If he wants to meet sophisticated people who are into art and fashion then why not go to a fashion show, one of the bazillion art galleries around town, or MOCA, or the art museum. If he wants to be around affluent people then why not hang out in Bratenahl at the Yacht Club or join the new private club at the Franklin Castle. Maybe he should just spend more time at Beachwood Mall... there's plenty of affluent people into fashion there. If he wants to meet people who travel, why not get a job at the airport Marriot, or at one of the food or magazine shops inside the airport.
Or even better, if people like him think Miami is so superior to Cleveland, than why not move there instead of pretending Cleveland is Miami. Lake Erie is not the ocean. We don't have nice, big clean beaches and all that gives Miami its character, so why not let Miami be Miami? Really.
This is why I've yet to step foot in MODA, and why I never will. Whoever thought that any place in this city needs to cool off in four seconds was on crack. Newsflash: Cleveland is really cold most of the year.

Anyhow, bottom line:
Judging people by status symbols (car, clothes, and downtown loft) is utterly shallow... and that's what bothered me the most about those direct quotes.

OH, and, hey, I think I'll start a book club. But, at a pet shop. And, I think animals suck, but I'm gonna have it be about Cliff's notes. I only want to be around people who shop at Sam's Club and wear Burkenstocks with socks. I'm going to revolutionize book clubs.  |
Just like you mistakingly took that article at face value you are doing the same with Moda.
Yes there are some problems with the way it was geared towards a SOBE feel but who hasn't? Most places aiming to be up scale in Clev. are going for that market. Don't focus on one place when the reason you dismiss that place would equal to leaving most places in the city out.
Where Moda failed with it's quest for hype, they made up with the highest quality club in terms of building, sound and lights.
I will admit to it not being attractive in a musical sense in a long time but next chance that comes up, don't miss out on the opportunity of a good night out just because it's placebo Florida.
