Map Boy

Hells yes it would! I've been talking about that for over a year! It's just sitting there asking for it... With the demand (and short supply) for units on E. 4th, you'd think developers would be hitting the market a little faster over there. Maybe I'll get on that...

^whoah! getting a little ahead of ourselves, are we? Besides, E. 55th is a little out of range to qualify as the Avenue District.

Yeah, it's not like it was paid for by the public...

That's great! Sounds like there's still much to be done to really connect this trail to the rest of the system, though. Anyone want to map this for those unfamiliar with the area?

Nice! Welcome Jennifer and thanks for posting! We're big fans of your tours here and if you haven't been around the site much yet, you'll find that you have quite a few fellow Cleveland lovers in your midst!

Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.1 I selected Firefox from the above list.

Fore...I think that's what it's called. And it wasn't open on my way home from work tonight around 6:00. Bummer, cause I really could've used a new pair of pumps with the week I've had!

Anyone else notice that Timz Ladiez Shooz (on W. 25th, next to Opa) finally opened? It has a real name now too, but I can't remember what it is...

Ho-lee hell! Well, if that doesn't just set us up for a disappointing season... When was the last time we were picked this high to start the year off? Back in the late-90s? The AL Central is going to be a power-house again, no doubt about that. And I believe in the Tribe...I'm just a little shocked that the major media does too!

Souper Market apparently looked at University Circle for its second store, but didn't find a spot it liked. They're keeping it on their list for future expansion, though!

Walked by the new Style Lab on W. 9th yesterday and the new marquee for the Adult Mart...loving that block! Also, who knows what's up with the 360 Clothing Studio? It's on the following Landmarks Commission agenda and will be on the next block of W. 9th, south of St. Clair. http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/photo/020807/index.html I hope no one else posted about this on here, because I couldn't find anything!

also, the 10-story building should cover the majority of the site. If you have 10% of the land supporting a 10-story building and the remaining 90% dedicated to a parking garage...well, that just wouldn't work for me.

I agree that Erie is a wonderful neighborhood asset... it's a great place for a lunchtime stroll. Letting your dog run free? Well, that's a little off. I, for one, wouldn't want my headstone or plot serving as a urinal for a little four-legger. I've seen these people in the cemetery and I've sneered...

I can live with 400-ish feet. I don't think there's really much need to build anything in Cleveland over that height at this point in time.

That's just the City's GIS Mapping tool and a cheap version of Adobe Photoshop Elements. I don't know that the quality is good enough for printing, but that's not for me to decide! Do you have the Cuyahoga County aerial photo archive? As for the Salvation Army being there... if that was an issue, then no one would be building housing in Cleveland. I would think the Avenue District would have far greater concerns about the presence of social services on adjacent parcels/blocks and their ability to sell units. And they've already broken ground! What about the building at E. 14th & Carnegie? Do think it's worth saving?

For our reference:

wow...top that 3231!

I'm sold...let's do it!

You're definitely right there, if we're talking about the E. 14-18/Prospect-Carnegie block. That could be one helluva block to build on! The blocks directly west, between E. 14th and E. 9th, have some character that I would like to preserve. I can see Erie & Sumner having some really nice brick rowhouses or rehabs of existing brick structures into offices/condos.

Really? There are a few really attractive old brick buildings in there. Especially lining the cemetery. I think those would make a cool foundation for the inner blocks of the project. Again, on Carnegie/E. 9th/E. 14th, go big, but keep the interior cozy. That's how I see it, at least!

That sounds about right... or even on the high end. I certainly think there's room for this sort of density over there...especially abutting Carnegie or E. 9th...but I could see some smaller structures popping up over there that fit in more with what already exists in the 4 stories and under range. As with many other bright ideas right now, the majority of this will likely not happen until the market is pushing for it. And with Stark, et al getting involved elsewhere Downtown, I think it's wise to not spread the investment too wide just yet. Ahhh, how I long for an economic upturn in the Cleveland economy! Where are our innovators? Where are our entrepreneurs? I get the feeling that they're just bubbling below the surface right now. We've just got to keep their roots planted here when they start to grow! But that's another thread...

I hope Stark sticks to the infill theory in this neighborhood. So far, it seems that he's more of a "clean slate" kinda developer...

Thank you!

Ok, so create it! And let's start digging for the project's history in preparation for its resurrection! Nice article, BTW. Joe C :fight: Shaia And MGD ain't dead...he's just resting in peace!

what, no pictures of the rest of the buildings? :-P
