Speak it, Administrator! It seemed pretty much everyone on this forum was hoping for Stark's plan to go through before the Flats, but the fact is the Wolstein plan has been way ahead (planning and more importantly financing) of most other downtown developments for some time. It's been six score years since cities had complete control over their development. Maybe we can get Olmsted-Law and Burnham to get working on the parking lots. Until then, I'll take this bit of good news.

It's no Tri-C Corporate.

Is a Kyle Blizzard something they serve at the Dairy Queen in Short North?

for sure, but that doesn't mean it has to be set back so far. for a decently sited fast food (maybe that's an oxymoron) check out the "new" wendy's on 117th. It's still built out right to the sidewalk with a pedestrian friendly front door. Those fast food restaurants on Detroit do often seem to have unnecessarily large setbacks and/or parking lots. It is kind of surprising that the new building was built in the exact same spot without DSCDO intervention (of course that's presumptive). Also, thinking about it, it's probably not another Popeye's going in since the previous one was built and torn down in less than 4 years. Maybe it will be a vegetarian restaurant with a gaudy setback and ambivalence can reign on the forum.

I'm all for the continued development of the Gordon Square Arts District, but that doesn't mean that the neighborhood shouldn't have fast food restaurants. Maybe a food coop could go into one of the many vacant storefronts. Remember, most of the residents in this neighborhood are still pretty poor, and it's not for us to condescend to them and take away a cheap and easy food alternative.

I don't understand, are these new renderings?

It seems kind of condescending and ramshackle. Although I guess if it's the residents that are doing it.....yeesh

Does vinyl grow in groves?

Moving to Chicago is like a grown man ****ing a high schooler?

I concede both points. Sometimes I'm a prideful poster.

I think that Cudell Improvement Inc. would beg to differ. And I apologize if I consider the western border of a city to be west.

Very similar to Cudell on Cleveland's far west side.

Howard Roark is rolling in his fictional grave over that Fountainhead building.

What do the commercial strips around there look like?

It's been Christie's Cabaret for a few years (not that I've ever been there either) Any real man would go to Bugsy's. Only a short bus ride on multiple routes! tp://www.bugsysspeakeasy.com

Akron?

Sorry to post on this thread so late but that sh!t was hilarious. More sarcastic photo threads!

Strictly on body I would have to go with 5, although number eight has a quiet Mediterranean dignity about the eyes.

Boy, it's a good thing you don't succumb to hyperbole. Or you to dry wit. :wink:

It seems like these hundred units, combined with a too-small aquarium, are the two things that will finally reduce Cleveland to rubble.

I still don't understand the objections to the size. The one in Pittsburgh is smaller than 55k and I still thought it was great. Have you ever seen a really big Octopus?

If my addition is correct, the housing mentioned here only equates to about 150 new low-income residents in the area. If this is drawn in contrast to other proposed development, I think everyone is over-reacting.

To reduce noise and pollution at Kamm's Corners, a forest would have to be established that covered the area from Lorain to Madison.

I would wager that Pittsburgh's neighborhoods were also able to stay intact because the city doesn't have the same ethnic diversity of places like Cleveland and Detroit.
