I should also mentioned there's a 50/50 chance your friend could get transferred from Skylight to Midland. A couple of departments currently stationed in Midland will get transferred to Hinckley. This will create some space to back-fill ee's over to Midland from Skylight.

Tell them not to get too comfy (if you're referring to Skylight). The plan is to move more departments over to Hinckley as renovations continue and space opens up. Right now they are in the process of building a gym at the new location.

I know you and YABO are eager to jump on this all of sudden but there's something here not making sense. A write-off? In 2016, Fitch gave Cincy an upgraded rating of A+. CLE was BBB+. I'm telling you, Cincinnati is generating mondo revenue vs. Cleveland even if those figures don't show it. Really? Explain to me how Cincy is generating more revenue than CLE. Please, I'd like to know.

Cincinnati has non-stop service to Seattle on Delta currently for $341. Plus Frontier just announced service to Seattle starting Spring of 2018 and with Amazon Prime hub happening at CVG, the airport is in talks with Alaska and Southwest for additional service to Pacific Northwest. . CVG is a level above Hopkins, for sure. LOL.

Cleveland has a City Planner position available: Chief City Planner https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/cleveland/jobs/1812172/chief-city-planner?pagetype=jobOpportunitiesJobs

Who is going into those spots that were vacated by the EEs? It may be valspar staff working on integration plans. (complete speculation, but just because a group is moving locations, doesnt mean that space is being abandoned) Sherwin's lease at Skylight expires at the end of this month. No one connected to SW or Valspar will be occupying that space.

Amen.

Yes, we all know the current situation. The passenger count is up 17% since 2015, and we've added a healthy number of non-stop flights. I'm so embarrassed! When does it get embarrassing? Euro service to Omaha? Winnipeg? Buffalo? At what point? You realize, we're almost there. Buffalo could happen before you know it--it sees huge numbers of Canadians who find it easier, and cheaper, to drive over the border to Buffalo rather than go to YYZ for high fares and insane traffic getting there. This doesn't bode well for Buffalo: Passenger count at Buffalo Niagara International Airport is down: bad for Western New York? http://www.wkbw.com/news/passenger-count-at-buffalo-niagara-international-airport-is-down-bad-for-western-new-york

^ I don't think Sherwin Williams is very committed to staying downtown. I just learned today that they are moving all ee's who are currently in the Skylight tower to a location they own on Hinckley Industrial Pkwy. We're talking about well over 200ee's. This is what happens when the majority of the staff values free parking over anything else.

In addition to the $800,000 in payments, which will be used in part for marketing, Wow will not have to pay landing fees for two years. Such waivers are accorded to all airlines starting new service from Pittsburgh. http://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2016/11/07/Discount-airline-bringing-wow-prices-to-European-destinations/stories/201611070053 let's wait and see what happens when the Port Authority stops making those payments and starts charging for landing fees.

At what cost?

Yeah, in the past Hopkins had non-stop service to Europe. Cool story.

And Cleveland is the largest market of all of these. So much for the new director bringing in competent air service development people..... Give him some time. Cleveland Hopkins is definitely heading in the right direction. The "IKEA hole" is growing. You know what else is growing? Hopkins passenger count and non stop flight destinations. Hopkins is growing but let's not forget that Cleveland used to serve 14 million pax and had non-stops to London and Paris. Not many more places Hopkins can route to within the US now that will keep boosting the passenger count. This isn't "Cleveland against the World", this is looking embarrassing amongst peer cities. Business demand and tourism are the main boosters of Cleveland's passenger count. The numbers are only going to increase as 2017 is already proving. I'm not sure what living in the past is going to do for you. Cleveland's a different market than it once was. How much is Pittsburgh paying for those international flights? I'd rather the market decide what is sustainable, not the government.

It is an industry number that international carriers look for to determine if there is enough revenue out of a city. If your airport can hit the 10 million mark in a year and hold or continue to gain passengers then you will see airlines start knocking. Even though Austin and New Orleans are more vacation destinations, they didn't get international service til they surpassed the 10 million mark. New Orleans surpassed 10 million in 2015 and Austin did in 2013. Both have multiple international carriers now. That's not entirely true. See Pittsburgh's airport as a prime example of international service with a passenger count below 10 million.

^ Haha. I was waiting for someone to post that!

Seventh homicide this year investigated at Wedgewood Village Apartments COLUMBUS (WCMH) — The Wedgewood Village Apartment complex on the west side of the city is averaging about one homicide a month. So far this year, there have been seven homicides investigated in that area. Most recently on Friday, police responded to a report of shots fired on Doulton Court. Inside an apartment building, officers found 22-year-old Cody Nichols lying in the hallway, suffering from a gunshot wound. Nichols was pronounced dead at 2:10am. http://nbc4i.com/2017/08/04/seventh-homicide-this-year-investigated-at-wedgewood-village-apartments/

Anita Brindza, with the nonprofit Cudell Improvement, Inc., confirmed Chipotle Mexican Grill and Fusian, a Dayton-area sushi restaurant, have also signed on to the project. http://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/oh-cuyahoga/new-stores-groundbreaking-set-for-shoppes-on-clifton

What's a connection city? A mini hub?

I am actually thinking this whole deal is a shell game. Pulling tenants from one building to put them in another, with little actual "ADD" to the city other than a new addition to the skyline. I don't see it that way, especially since the office component is such a small piece to the overall project. The added residential and retail more than make up for any tenant shuffle.

Yes, still one more floor to go.

Do you really think these public meetings are anything but an exercise in futility? Like all these low-information residents are going to affect the status of this project financing? You're right, these meetings are nothing more than a dog and pony show..
