No, south of fracsati is existing businesses that stay

I think you are just upset they didn't make west blvd longer and more grand :-) Actually not a bad idea really

The rail line is on the bluff. Brt - streetcar would be so much better down Detroit I do hope they plan to have the 55 stop at 73rd though. And run it evenings and weekends

Different. The renders are from 65th to 58th north of breakwater. Just behind the Westinghouse building from the shoreway This is new. South of the 2 'modern' 500k homes and north of a run of 200k + town homes straddling 54th on Herman, who aren't going to be super happy with blocked views of the lake/downtown. Looks like the can fit 6-8 3-4 story townhouses on the property depending on car access

This sounds/looks like the glass blowing place behind nano brew by the market

30 million dollar preliminary budget

So as part of that article. They state bus with bike racks will be stopping at the park "He said last week that an RTA stop will be nearby, served by buses with external bike racks." Will this be the 55? Will it run more often and evenings/weekends. Or a differently bus? Will it stop near the roundabout? Near where 73rd is coming in? Up top closer to edgewater or both?

I do logistics dev work. Started out doing QA and beta implementations. Getting stuff from 'done' to deployable/deployed If you need any freelance QA work PM me

The existing 73rd work will tie into the existing on/off ramp. The exit for edgewater. Not sure what if anything will be reconfigured for phase II through X

I second hts121. He was very patient with us. Very much into repping urban living

I think part of it has to do with the shapes of the stadiums as well. The baseball park is pretty much a square with exits on 3 of the 4 corners (not exactly in the corners but approximate) one of them is the closest to where you need to go AND there is tons of traffic on 9th and Ontario so you have to stay on the sidewalks. So what you get for a tribe game is everybody walks around inside to get to the exit closest to their car...you have a lot of "trafffic" working at cross purposes within the stadium. The football stadium being more of a rectangle gives you 2 potential exits that work not matter which way you are going...almost everybody is heading south. they don't formally "block" the streets around the stadium, but they certainly do not stop all the pedestrians from completely occupying w. 3rd on they way out. or blocking e. 9th, lakeside or the ramps for the shoreway right outside the browns stadium. Where they do (or the people just manage themselves) keep people off of Carnagie, E. 9th and Ontario around the Jake. Plus the Muny lot is its own exit on the shoreway that with N. and S. marginal roads means a good majority of the football traffic does not really mingle with "normal" traffic, which is pretty much non-existent on Sunday to begin with. The Jake has to mix with people getting in and out of the HOB, e. 4th St, playhouse square, people leaving work late, Besides the RnR hof and the science center there is no other reason to be in the vicinity of Browns stadium....and who in their right mind is going to visit one of those places on a Browns Sunday (unless maybe you are going to go to the game as well) Football fans (game is a weekend and it ends before dinner time) are much more likely to stick around after the game either back to the tailgate or to the bars than a baseball game that ends at 10-11 pm. AND you will find less children (as a % of the total occupants) which means faster egress. In conclusion: I find it perfectly logical and reasonable that a Football crowd that is 2 X or even 4X the size of a baseball crowd would allow you a much easier "way out" in Cleveland

Why is the poster certain they weren't from Avon? too far for such a job? too many or too few teeth? Did they say they lived on W. or E 98th? I would have thought that particular specificity would have been just as easy and much less ambiguous than "certainly not Avon". Base on the fact that number of People living in Cleveland is Less than the population of people living in Cuyahoga county NOT living in Cleveland : Not Avon is much more likely to mean any of our 20 + suburbs in Cuyahoga county and that isn't even bothering to include the adjacent ones such as Avon in Lorain or Mentor in Lake or Medina in Medina.

I am matching certainty about something nobody is certain about.

When I first moved back to NE Ohio, I lived downtown. And when I would tell people I just moved back home, they would ask "why". The receptionist at the Holiday Inn Express was one specific person who really sticks out as she kind of went on and on because I was foolish enough to tell her why I was excited about moving back here. And she was certainly not from Avon. So she was certainly not from Avon.....so was it Chardon? Cleveland Heights? BrookPark? Just as you are so certain it wasn't Avon I am just as certain that it wasn't Cleveland.

Not even that KJP. More Myopic than anything... I have run into too many legitimate snobs in this town..... they don't even really know that NYC or LA is better..it just is because CLE used to be better when their grand daddy was a boy.....see all the reasons above. We can actually compete with most places (the biggies just being the biggies and on their own plane....NYC, CHI, LA....maybe some others) But Charlotte? Orlando? we blows those places out of the water. Our biggest problem is NOT that we have to compete with other cities....we have to compete with our ghosts.....

I looked at Ohio city (and tremont) before moving to Detroit shoreway. In my opinion...... 2 20 something young ladies would be best served in the Fries and Schule building (or something similar) It is a condo building with both Apartment style condos and townhouses. It has secure parking. and is in the heart of the area you frequented while you were there. Directly above Bier Market and across the street from the Market Garden Brewery. ...rather than a house/or 1/2 house that had on street parking (which will be the majority of housing rentals in OC_ If my sister or niece told me they absolutely going to live in OC this is what I would tell them. as a 40 something man I don't have the same concerns that 20 something women have.

As bad as outsiders can be in running down the CLE.... NOBODY has worse things to say about here than the locals. MOST of those locals who bad mouth the CLE live in Avon, Solon, Twinsburg, Westlake, Independence....etc. I live in CLE - 44102 zip code. There are some things that could definitely change for the better, but I wouldn't live anywhere else after visiting far flung places such as Beijing, Rio, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Dublin, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt (this one actually felt a lot like CLE), Munich, Brussels, Lyon, Marsielle....Just got back from Aukland/Wellington/Queenstown in NZ, 37 states, 7 provinces in Canada, Mexico and most of the Caribbean..... We have everything you need, you can afford to live here and do these things (snow skiiing/mountain climbing are the two glaring short comings, but the Appalachians are not more than a couple hour drive) AND WE HAVE NO TRAFFIC to speak of ......and if you have to go somewhere else we have a nice airport that puts you an hour or 2 from anywhere on the east coast or midwest, 4-5 from the west coast. People who visit here are amazed at what we have and what it costs......12 bux for 4 drinks? 50 for 2 for a Iron Chef meal? major league (questionable I know) football ($50) baseball ($10) basketball ($10) under 100/sq foot for decent housing in decent neighborhoods? It is literally cheaper for a NYY fan to get on a plane or a bus get decent tickets to a 3 game series for the Tribe V. the Yankees, stay in a hotel, and eat....than it is to buy 1 "good seat" ticket to a Yankees game. What we could use is a few more people like SNOD and a few less people who live in Avon.

Thank god we tore down that 100 year old building in such a freaking hurry so we could have "connected" parking from the casino. except now we won't derp.... How do we ensure that the "Planning Commission" people no longer have their jobs. It is obvious that they are incapable of performing the task that they are assigned.

Software Development. Generally can make my own hours (outside of meetings or client calls) I prefer 6:30-3:30 avoid most of the traffic, figure it saves me 20 minutes a day, 10 one each end of the commute from Detroit Shoreway to Beachwood. Anybody looking for .NET work or Project management (or if you know somebody) PM me the info....we are hiring.

very kewl. Obviously people can come and go at will, but 1 pm - 2 am is an unsustainable pub crawl. (6 at the earliest) 8- midnight (2 am at the latest) with the "organized" part of the crawl being from 8-midnight works best in my opinion (backed by extensive experience). Plus you are going to have issues with people eating...It is hard enough to get drinks for 20 people all at the same time, let alone having everybody try to order food at the same time. (unless you have something arranged) You might want to call it something more like Urban RTAdventure ( with Beer) or Explore Cleveland without an vehicle (with Beer). Or make it More like a "poker run" that people do on Motorcycles except you need to use public transportation. Now that would be pretty cool in my opinion. Maybe idea/event #2... or a scavenger hunt Hey Jerry feel free to steal that Idea.....could team up with some charity. $50 bux gets you a number (like in a 5k) an all day bus pass and 5-10 locations like say the Art Museum, shaker square, little italy, R & R HOF, Gordon Square, the Airport...... I was actually on a plane with somebody coming back from vegas who missed their flight to vegas because of snow, and she lives 100 yards from shaker square and did not even think of getting on the train that was running perfectly fine and was how I got to the airport. Scavenger hunt...everybody completing it gets put in the Hopper for the "grand prize" Flat screen/new shoes/ and a years supply of monthly RTA passes. Money goes to Coats for Kids or a scholarship fund or some other worthy charity. Heck just go propose that idea to some charity, that way you aren't actually "involved". I go to a lot of charity events...gain a lot of weight eating and drinking for others, give back while losing a few lbs and doing something more engaging than writing something down on a silent auction page, but not as strenuous as a 1/2 marathon. [EDIT] Talk to the Conways at Great Lakes Brewing Company they also run the Burning River festival, big on the environment/sustainability could be a perfect tie in.

You might want to pick an actual location. Great Lakes, Bier Market, and the new Market Beer garden are all right there..along with Garage, Dragon Fly, Velvet Tango Room and the Olde Angle not to far off. Also note...Saturday is a Market Day and that whole area will be a zoo, anybody thinking of driving there to start their day will need a Plan "B"...especially at 12-1 PM. I might or might not be able to convince the wife to get on board with this one. But there is a very straightforward rout that would serve as a stupendous bar crawl. The 26 Bus Down Detroit. It probably passes more than 40 bars/bar restaurants between the Swinging door saloon in Rocky River (and the RTA Transit Center in river is not very far from the Rocky River Brewing company) and Scorchers at e 12th St. It Runs every 20 minutes during Peak times and 30 minutes off peak. It also runs 24 hours a day. The 25 down Madison might be slightly better for bars, but it doesn't have the "strength of schedule" Detroit Rd in just Lakewood has more than enough bars for a pub crawl all its own. Starting at Around the corner and ending at brothers lounge. My unscientific survey counts about 20 possible stops. No walking, no changing modes of transport...just get the next 26.

When looking in Tremont or anywhere else......don't discount non lofts. Take a look at craig's list. My old landlord did some amazing things with some up and down doubles in Tremont. The apartment I had was not a "loft" but it had the ceilings vaulted to the roof line and the only interior door was on the bathroom. He took down the kitchen wall to make a 1/2 wall with a granite countertop and there were some amazing original archways between the old "front" room and the side "sleeping" room. The "front" room was curtained off for the Bedroom. And all of the areas offered are very nice but to get to Solon every day. 1) Tremont 2) downtown 4) take a look at Colinwood or Bratenhal getting on 90 to whip around to 271 makes the commute similar to Tremont. 5) Shaker Square-Little Italy-the Heights. 6) Detroit/shoreway-Lakewood $1500 is a very generous budget, you wont have an issue finding something With that being said any minutes you can shift your commute off of rush hour will be helpful....the 422/480/271 interchange becomes a mess from 7-9 and 4:30-6 Also be careful with any and all areas.......Tremont is a very loose word used in rentals. As is Ohio City and other such monikers. If you narrow down your choice you will get the particulars for that neighborhood. For Tremont I would tell you to stay North of 490 if you can and don't go South of Clark. Also stay East of 90/71. Professor is the name of the "main drag" with the highest concentration of bars/restaurants (the whole neighborhood is riddled with them) the closer to the action the more you will need off street parking and ear plugs. The Bars/restaurants are not clubs, the ages are more 30's-40's than 20's Ohio City and E 4th is similar Ohio City is probably the most in between 20's more lakewood, w/6th, the Heights

The warehouse to be torn down for the connector? Is it the yellow one on the right of the picture or the brown one on the left?

Just re-checked the calendar. The Sunday "commitment" is my wife going to a bridal shower at 2 pm. Thank god it isn't one of those new fangled "couples" showers. So I can be avialable Sunday from 1:30 or so until about 3:30 or 4. Grew up in Rocky River, lived in Tremont for 5 years. Moved to D/S 2 years ago. Looked for 2.5 years for a place in most of the areas you have referenced. My wife moved here from NYC. All are good for different reasons, so I am not biased (completely) towards any of them over the others. Send me a PM if that works, i will give you my cell # and you can give me some more background on who this is and what they are looking for.... Married/single male/female age range where they will be working any specific interests...biking, golfing, boating, etc..

If I wasn't committed I would....but here is an easy way to see one of the neighborhoods on the near west side. The walking and housing tours means a guided look at 1 of the 4 possible neighborhoods on the (nearish) west side. Tremont Ohio City Detroit Shoreway. Lakewood and it is between Ohio City and Lakewood Have KJP send them over when he is done showing them the OC. Head up 25th to Franklin, left on Franklin, right on 65th and find a place to park.
