  1. ^ The Breuer tower development (into apartments presumably) with the Schofield hotel development is really exciting. Could completely change the side of downtown for the better
  2. I was actually looking at an apartment at Reserve Square today, the West building is apartments, and the 14-23 of the East building is apartments. Wouldn't it be incredible to leave through that rotunda every morning were it the lobby? On the other hand, I've always thought the rotunda clashed a lot with the brutalist tower.... Got that one backwards, the West Tower (facing the 12th St.) is apt 14-23, the Embassy Suites takes up the lower floors.

    Ok heat, how about you wait for said teams to play a game before completely writing them off. Fair?

    ^ Jeeze heat weren't you just complaining that the cavs had the worst draft ever and blah blah blah Do you post on Cleveland.com? :-D
  5. NorthAndre you do some incredible work with that camera of yours. You need to come take some glamor shots of Cleveland!
  6. ^ This is really sad. Hopefully the community can rally around this tragic event and change for the better
  7. ^ I've heard people say before that Burke's land is unstable.....yet they land planes on it?!
  8. I am a little surprised those track signals aren't grounded to protect against lighting strikes

    ^ Taxes do pay for the work done at the park, but I believe that Edgewater is operated by the State, not the City. Also, if you love the beach/park and love seeing it clean I would invite you to join Friends of Edgewater on Facebook and get involved in the monthly cleanups!
  10. A Cleveland guy here... The streetcar should be an awesome addition to Cincinnati I am very jealous! Since there are 464 pages and I haven't been keeping up on this thread, could someone tell me how much the project is going to cost and a link to the proposed route and whats with all this opposition I am hearing about?
  11. ^ Well Eaton already was downtown 5 years ago (and for the moment still is). Now Progressive approaching city hall to move staff downtown would be quite the story to discuss, albeit not for this thread
  12. K&D isn't going out of business, maybe they're just getting out of the restaurant business

    I believe the Water Dept. overhaul of the sewer system will help with the overflow caused by the rains...
  14. ^ Actually, people were out painting the wood that covers the scaffolding this morning. Couldn't tell if any soft of work was actually going on inside the building
  15. I noticed caddyshack last night, that one kind of surprised me
  16. Dragonfly has excellent sushi!
  17. Whats with all the increased activity over in the old Ameritrust complex? Is this for the movie?
  18. ^ can someone refresh my memory, what are the plans with that space?
  19. Channel 3 news just did a very cool story highlighting 668 Euclid. According to their story the waiting list for the building is at 400 people :-o I doubt the number is actually that high, but still....DAMN!!!
  20. The Bingham in the warehouse district
  21. Boy was I surprised to wake up this morning and see that we won that game. I turned it off in the 8th... GO TRIBE!!!
  22. ^ and lets add to that Pittsburgh leaders envious of rta healthline, hope to duplicate its success "A rare case of Cleveland envy is helping to fuel the latest proposal for improving transit service between Downtown [Pittsburgh] and Oakland," begins a recent article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. What local officials in that town to the east covet in our own beloved town is the RTA HealthLine, which uses energy-efficient bus rapid transit vehicles to connect Public Square with University Circle and beyond.Writing for the Post-Gazette, Jon Schmitz says, "Local officials who visited that city's HealthLine, a 6.8-mile bus route with many of the attributes of a light-rail line, want to build a similar system here."His research pointed out that Cleveland's HealthLine trimmed a formerly 30-minute ride to 18 minutes, while boosting ridership and fueling some $4 billion in investment along the Euclid Avenue Corridor. http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/inthenews/pittloveshealthline062311.aspx

    This is an awesome idea, I am totally down
  24. Jesus edale... No two cities are ever going to be exactly alike for a perfect comparison. Philadelphia had many issues similar to present day Cleveland and thus the comparison. If you want to compare Cleveland to Portland or Minneapolis than post a video or an article about their resurgence and we can talk about it there.

    From an outsiders perspective skyline is important. From someone living in the city I would say street life and strong public transit
