This would be almost a replication of what theater-goers would have to look forward to way back when, and just a few doors west of the old Boukair's.

Let's hope that 'still working' means that the cornice is a finishing touch, because it was a part of the original plan.

This was a typical lunchtime crowd in 1980. The demise of retail along with the Hyatt occupying spaces for spas et al accounts for its current appearance.

I noticed how phase 2 of Hudson Yards in NYC was looking Jetson-ian and also vaguely familiar.

This is the price paid for a 10 story, 125 year old building and it's still considered a bargain. Compare that to the 44 story, 40 year old AT&T Center in St. Louis which recently sold for $3.6M and I'd say I'm more encouraged with commercial real estate in DT CLV than ST LO MO.

Speaking of tearing down, this was Globe Iron offices NE corner of Center & Spruce.

I was reminded the other day of when Diamond Shamrock financed the renovation of the Palace Theater dressing room towers. I also included a 8 x 10 glossy of the Hanna Building when new/ current.

Richard Jacobs proposed a Courtyard by Marriott on that location about 25 years ago!

“We are also discussing expanding the Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s scenic railroad to Downtown Cleveland with a terminus at our project site with regional partners and the National Park Service,” I was liking the details of this project as it was, but this statement sold it for me.

Seeing this view reminded me of this old magazine clipping of the same view from the 70s when Republic Steel still had their screw and nut mill down there.

NOT St. Clair. Superior. That's Tyler Village on the right.

When it comes to what is now CWRU, they didn't anger Rockefeller as much as rebuffed his endowment offers because they felt it would overshadow the generosity and heavy lifting by Amasa Stone. Rockefeller then simply gave the money that he offered them and gave it to U of Chicago. The city government however is a different story. Apparently, after he moved to NYC, the tax collectors saw him as a piggy bank and they were the hammer.

I can see the reasoning to referencing perhaps South Glenville, since it's immediately north of University Circle. Just as the Cleveland Clinic is proving to be catalytic to rehab and development in Fairfax, the same can be said to a relative degree to this area, as well as Hough because of UC. This would then justify the Glenville directional designation.

This was once the Ambassador Theater building.

I just LOVE the Canada goose sculpture in the Art Park!😁
