We've had the misfortune of needing some repair and improvement work on our home. Therefore we have had the pleasure of working with many companies lately.
I can speak very highly of Cudell Improvement, Inc. We had never heard of this company prior to using their services.
Jim came into our home and displayed a very business like manner. He is the estimator/inspector at Cudell Improvement, Inc.
Jim was polite, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our needs and questions. He took the time to explain the process and made us feel at ease.
The work was done promptly, correctly and we'd definitely recommend Cudell Improvement, Inc. to anyone needing improvement work at their home.

There are some companies that make you cringe when you think of the work they may have done for you. Then there are others like 220 Electric Inc Electrical Contractors who break that stereotype.
We were fortunate to have 220 Electric do some work for us recently. They are very professional. Scott has the highest work ethic. He had to rework our breaker box, run some ground, repair a dryer conduit and some other work. He had that work done in a day and a half and we're very happy with the quality of their work.

There are so many Warehouse clubs across the country. So many want to be like Sams Club. They all have their own advantages but I feel that Sams Club comes out above the rest.

Sams Club is a place where you can find about anything you'd want - and most at amazing prices. Not everything there will be cheaper than what you can find it elsewhere. As always, you have to be a smart shopper who keeps an eye on the prices. I go there for items I know that I can't find cheaper anywhere else.
Our kids love to go on the 'sample days' where the employees have samples set up in the back of the store, handing out free food LOL. I enjoy finding the great bargains. We have a business account and that enables to shop each morning before the general public comes in.
The store is always clean and well stocked. They have enough employees where you can actually find one if you need help. The cashiers will have no more than 3 person in a line. If it gets busier they will immediately open another line.
You can get a great deal on prescription medicines at Sams Club. Also, their check service is the cheapest around for ordering replacement checks.

Have you heard of Micro Center? You may not have an actual store in your city but you can still reap the sale prices through their website. They only have 19 locations across the USA, 3 of them are in Ohio.

Micro Center stores have an enormous amount of any kind of electronic equipment you have in mind. They have a huge selection, high-quality products and wealth of information to help you with your decisions on buying things there.
Their stores carry more than 700 different categories and sub categories and that makes nearly 36,000 products in each of their stores.
They have a neat 'bargain bin' where you can find substantial savings on items that were returned, etc. These items change often and some may have limited quantities.
Their service is exceptional They truly do place the customer at the center of their business. I've ordered from them online and have been pleased with that service as well.

We sure have spent many-a-day in several video stores. We prefer to shop the mom and pop stores, but do have a membership with the larger chains like Blockbuster.
Family Video came to Cleveland about a year or so ago and we didn't spend a lot of time there. However, Blockbuster raised their video game rentals to $8 for 7 days, which is outrageous. We decided to search elsewhere and have rented at Giant Eagle and other stores before Family Video.
Family Video offers rentals for 1, 2, & 5 day rentals and you get a free rental with the newer games you rent. The price is so much better and the service is great.
We found out that they will even professionally clean your games, CD's, & DVD's for free in their store. How many places will do that for you?
Their hours enable you to visit their store on your own schedule. We also like their rentals because the items are due by MIDNIGHT, not noon like Blockbuster.

We've had the (not pleasure) of taking our car on a couple of occasions to Calanni Auto Service on Madison Avenue.
Charlie is an unusual breed of mechanic - allowing someone to bring in their parts they want to use on their car and just pay for the service to install them.
Charlie has serviced our car on several occasions. THe quality of work is very good. The price of repairs is comparable.
We do have a couple of 'complaints'. If Charlie isn't in the shop, you can't pick up your car or find out about the status of your car. There are employees there but they can't help us? Another issue is the amount of time they have your car while doing repairs.

I can't think of any time I've gone into this store that I wasn't greeted with a smiling face. That makes a person feel good.
The store is always stocked very well, with any items I'm looking for, including the very hard to find sale items from the ads or brochures. The aisles are always clean and well maintained. Their shelves are arranged very neatly and they carry about any office item you would ever think of.
Their return policy is very good. I've never had a problem returning an item there, including an item I purchased from Staples.com. They are staffed properly at any time I enter that store. I've never had to wait on any cashier or staff.
Overall I'd give them an A+.

I tell you, it is not easy to find a reputable, consumer friendly nursery anymore. Big business has tried to knock the some of the smaller nurseries out of business and they have succeeded with that task sadly.
I love to visit Puritas Nursery. They have a lot of their old photos on the wall from times gone by. They carry a wide assortment of shrubs, trees, perennials, fresh herbs and vegetables and so much more.
We've purchased many of the items above and topsoil and mulch. You can get the mulch and topsoil in a bag or in bulk. Their prices are wonderful and it's nice to support a local business.

I haven't lived in Cleveland as long as my husband but even I've heard of Bearden's Restaurant. Their burgers are supposed to be 'out of this world'. I think all of this hype is from word of mouth...
I haven't lived in Cleveland as long as my husband but even I've heard of Bearden's Restaurant. Their burgers are supposed to be 'out of this world'. I think all of this hype is from word of mouth but it works well.
Their burgers are done like no others I've tasted. They are cooked to my liking and so juicy and they taste great. All their food was fresh and served hot and with a smile. They are also a non-smoking restaurant which is a plus for me.

B A Sweetie is located very close to our home. It's always a temptation, sometimes more than others. I try to only shop at that store around holidays. Their selection is wonderful. The store is always stacked with so much candy and treats. I think I could gain 10 pounds just walking through their door.
It is a family owned store and always kept clean and well stocked. Their employees are eager to help and their candies are always fresh. They carry some hard to find items as well as the usuals. It's like being a kid in the candy store - because you are at heart :)
