I like it. Just seems a little odd when the decorative side of a complex faces the alley.

Regarding the construction that's finally going on with the five buildings just to the east of 925, does anyone know if this is finally the latest project proposed there or just some kind of stabilization effort? Thanks.

My 1920s-style dining room chandelier, and "electrolier," is said to be from Guvnor's Pub, that had an entrance off East Ninth and probably from the lower level also. I had been several other restaurants previously. Can anyone supply any photos of that space?

Regarding the construction recently begun at those five vacant buildings between 925 Euclid and the Statler Building - is this the long-envisioned hotel , etc? Or is this just some stabilization thing again?

I don't trust anything Stark promises - not with that fiasco whereby a multi-block mega-mixed use development was the go in the WRehouse District and not one iota of it materialized. As for NuCleus to take shape, the more like something one might see in Toronto the better, as fas as I'm concerned.

I thought construction had begun on the boutique hotel on W. 25th, but now all I'm seeing is a small new parking lot in that spot and nothing in the other lot where I thought the hotel might be taking. What happened to the hotel?

?? There are no buildings right there except for the hospital in one corner. Shouldn't there about as much room for a circle as there was, say, in 1910?

Sign is huge, but I guess it's okay as long as it's not right in front of one of the historic mansions. For a while the Hay mansion had new lights by the original entrance with incredibly bright bulbs, and even turned on all day. These strongly distracted from the mansion's overall image but, fortunately, someone "saw the light."

The design is bland, but I care more about saving the one house left on Hazel Drive and one of the few remnants of the glorious Wade Park Allotment. I suppose that house is just outside the boundaries of both official historical districts - that of the City of Cleveland and that on the National Register of Historic Places. Too bad. And I wonder what all those resideing in the newish apartments across the street think of the plans to close off the streetscape to that extent.

I was just there. Didn't see digging that looked new. Where exactly is the new apartment house supposed to go? I was thinking northeast of the long-gone circle.

New Chinatown is certainly not appropriate, unless there's general agreement among the residents and business owners, etc. to use it. Person who did maps didn't know better. Asiatown appears to be the generally accepted name among those who live and work there. We also say "Old Chinatown." I was just in Chicago's Chinatown, which is much more solid, and that is what it's called, even though the literature makes it clear there are the other nationalities and cultures represented there. "Chinatown" is a long, long-established term and I don't know if there's been any significant effort to change it. Other Asiatowns, besides Houston? I know, I can simply Google it....

My dining room chandelier ("electrolier") is reputed to be from the Guvnor's Pub, that in the lower level off East Ninth. It followed other restaurants in that space. Looking for photos of interior!

I hope you still give Joseph Scafidi some business, in his current location.

Yes Yes, I hate it when they cut off what was always a public corridor in a building downtown - National City, Ohio Savings, etc.

The lower floors of the former Carson Pierre Scott flagship store in downtown Chicago are now a Target and a DSW. The Target, in the heart of commercial downtown Chicago, seems to be doing fine. Within a few blocks are the huge Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields), the Nordstrom Rack, etc. I think the fact there's a Target in Steelyard Commons would make very little difference. A Target at 925 would do just fine, with significant security, of course.

I don't know about a brand new roundabout but I'd sure like tosee real Franklin Circle brought back!

Sure hope that's the start for construction of the new, curved apt. house....

Appropriate response, please.

Does anyone know if construction of the latest Univ Cir. park - the one to go between the West Wing and MLK - has begun? Or is all the work and machinery related to more sewer/waterline work?

No - this was the whole CIA canpus from 1956 - not the dorms!

This had better be all after the stucco-and-bricks walks on bear Ford Drive are restored or rrplicated. They look HORRIBLE - molyo emvarradibg for this institution!
