MayDay

"It's tough having the idea of the designs come through when your sewing skills aren't pro quality" And even if they were, they need to get out of academia and understand proportions and what's flattering and what's not. No woman wants her legs to look shorter - a good amount of those designs you posted do just that.

Okay folks, I'm going to snag one of the communal tables by the windows facing East 9th. The forecast is for rain showers, so heads up.

Just bumping this up - this Wednesday at noon. I'll try to snag one of the communal tables on the East 9th side.

This was my commute yesterday.

Okay, it's been a brutal winter - we've usually had a couple of crappy days broken up with a few 'meh' days but at this point, I'll take what I can get. Captions will be added later:

^Those aren't shades; that's the fritted glass that reduces heat from the sun but on a visual level I despise it - from the inside it ruins the view, from the outside it looks like they're having condensation issues:

From March 7th:

^Agreed. :-)

I can probably make it, but not sure if we want to stick to a set day in case some can't do Wednesdays at all.

^Ehhh, I can see a slight resemblance as a glass box but that's it. The angled facade and crown, the cut-out and of course no balconies - apt. tower vs. hotel, after all.

Yep, that's the Rose Building on the left and Schofield Building on the right.

Are the floors crooked where these were taken?

A quick pic at lunch today

^It's already built - in fact, I'm writing this post from the penthouse ;-) C'mon now - if/when there's news about something *that* significant, you'll see it updated here.

^Are they drilling down to bedrock? I would have thought they'd go with the floating pad. :wtf:

"In other news, Twist, one of the last businesses in the strip on the southeast corner of Clifton and 117th will likely be closing very soon, as the owner is now in Hospice." Since this reference was made earlier in the thread, it's with deepest regret that I pass along the info that he passed away last night. :(

^Still events only - poor reporting on WKYC's part.

Both Market Cafe and Kafeteria are good logistically; if we have some attendees driving in, Market Cafe would probably be preferable. We have plenty of time to plan :-)

Hi all, as the weather looks like we're eventually going to thaw, I wanted to gauge the interest in having a casual forum meet for lunch. No specific date has been set, no venue has been selected, just throwing it out there to see if anyone would be interested. It's always nice to put a face to the screenname and I think a lot of people make more sense once you've met them in person. That said, here are the parameters: 1. Day of the week - I'm pretty flexible but it mostly depends on the projects I'm working on. 2. Location - somewhere central between East and West 9th, north of Huron, south of St. Clair. Sorry but no Flats East Bank, Asiatown, Ohio City, or somewhere not in the aforementioned boundaries. If a handful can make it, we'll probably go with a designated restaurant (inexpensive, locally owned and not too crowded is preferred); if a dozen or more can make it, we'll probably go with brownbagging it and meet at a designated gathering spot. 3. Time - 11:30ish/noon to 1ish aka standard lunch hour or however long you're able to stay. 4. Date - let's wait until we have a forecast of at least 40F and preferably no sideways rain. Things look somewhat promising toward the end of February. 5. Just to clarify - UrbanOhio is not paying for your lunch :-) So at this point just reply if it's something you might be interested in - thanks!

Thanks for the pics - I haven't made it over that way recently so it's good to know it's coming along.

EDIT: and this will make MayDay happy. More places to get his "fix"..... Crain's Cleveland ‏@CrainsCleveland 4m Chipotle Mexican Grill to sell Great Lakes Brewing's Dortmunder in Northeast Ohio Thanks but I prefer Burning River Pale Ale :-)

I love living in Tremont but the views from the upper floors of that building would be reasons I'd consider moving.
