boy its like pulling teeth to get information out of you! I would AGAIN suggest Shaker Square or Euclid Hts. Blvd/Coventry. I would recommend those as well, but I'm not sure how he's prioritizing his preferences. I don't know of anything in Cleveland Heights that would have a pool, security desk etc. Is the rapid more important than a gym? By the way, UH/Case has a great fitness center in the heart of campus (One to One Fitness). Pupster, what's your residency in?

Don't rule out the old places just because you think that they'll have old crummy appliances. There are many landlords with old buildings that keep them in tip-top shape.

Pupster, Will you have a car? Are you looking to take the rapid to work? Do you want to live in an area with entertainment, shops, etc in walking distance? Or are you just looking for a place to sleep and recover from the long 80-hour weeks that you'll be putting in? When you say 'modern kitchen', do you mean viking appliances and granite counter tops or do you mean 'not something built in 1920'?

Did someone tell you that Beachwood is a nice place? While it is an upscale location, I wouldn't consider it a place that young professionals would flock to. I'm familiar with the Cleveland residency world (my wife is a resident) and I see how new and out of town residents get steered in certain directions due to who they asked for help or where they looked for answers.

What type of residency will you be doing?

The underlying story with Chmura is much more interesting than the fact that Fleishman sold his building.

Wash your mouth out with soap!

I'd have more sympathy if the hold-outs weren't the likes of Tony George.

This one is entirely separate. Speaking of the good ol' OC Hope VI, things have been awfully quiet.

I'd get one if they had child seat options. :)

You should probably check out WET.com's study as I doubt that BET.com was focusing on the caucasians.

It is still very interesting. Maybe its not interesting for a modern-day architect to design a gothic structure, but the existing structures are still grand and beautiful. Do you suggest that we tear down the Trinity Cathedral on Euclid?

I really like the new dorms. Are they really gothic, though? I don't see a single gothic arch. Many of the elements have a very modern feel. Obviously they are reminiscent of old buildings, but they are not trying to look the same as some of the old collegiate gothic structures. In his critique, Litt seems to demonstrate an all-or-nothing mentality towards new design. I also am a fan of the siteplan. With the buildings up to the sidewalk, there is a lot more pedestrian activity on E115.

hilarious!

^OK, I'll come clean. I'm planning on building the Detroit-Shoreway Space Needle.

^the new Denver Airport?! Its so cool. I love the interiors of the concourses-all the natural stone and the soaring atriums.

Huh? Steve's articles, more often that not, offer a strong opinion.

^Why do you think the Denver firm won?

I'm really sick of the Believe in Cleveland stuff. It suggests that nobody thinks much about Cleveland. I'd rather have a campaign that starts off from a positive rather than a negative.

Phase 1 will include: evaluation of site concerns regarding existing infrastructure and utilities and future needs; assessing design elements and selection of building materials; conducting preliminary code reviews; developing conceptual floor plans and building elevation; and, preparing cost estimates and rough construction schedules for fundraising purposes. The Fentress Bradburn museum design team has designed 26 museums and galleries totaling more that 2 million square feet and over $500,000,000 in construction value. Their projects include: The National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia; The National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming; The Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts; The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City; The Denver Museum of Nature and Science; California Department of Education Headquarters in Sacramento; Denver International Airport; and, Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea. Fentress Bradburn has a history of designing buildings that are unique to their location and create memorable images. A Museum Architectural Review Committee (consisting of Museum Trustees, staff and area experts) established the process by which the firm was selected. A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was sent to 53 firms in July 2006. Each of these firms had met the initial set of criteria: experience in museum design, specifically with collections-based museums; commitment to, and proven experience with, sustainable design principles and applications; evidence of strong client relationships with a team-oriented approach to design and construction; and a record of effective and time efficient completion of similar projects. 26 firms responded to the RFQ. The committee reviewed the responses and invited six of the firms to submit a proposal for the project. During December 2006, each of the six firms visited the Museum to meet with key staff and committee members. Proposals were submitted by December 24, 2006. During January and February 2007, the six architectural firms made presentations to Museum Trustees, the Architecture Committee and key staff members. A criteria matrix was developed to assist in the final selection process. These criteria were: achievements in landmark architecture; how well the firm could help the Museum achieve its vision for the project; experience in museum design; experience in sustainable design; experience in master planning; history of project delivery on time and on budget; and, how they interact with and respond to staff and Trustees. The committee decided unanimously to recommend Fentress Bradburn Architects Ltd. to the Board of Trustees of the Museum. At its meeting on March 13, 2007, the Museum’s Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed the selection as well. Fred Floyd, the chair of the Architectural Review Committee, said, “Fentress Bradburn did the best job of meeting our criteria. They were extremely well-prepared in their presentation and had done the best work understanding who we are, what our mission is and why we do what we do – they incorporated this knowledge into their proposal. As a scientific and academic institution, we also appreciate their scientific approach to set up design criteria – they leave nothing to chance.” The renovation/expansion plan for the Museum had its genesis in 2002 as part of an overall strategic planning process. The vision for the future of the Museum is to transform the way it presents natural history – making it more relevant to the visitor by highlighting the research and collections of the Museum. Another important element in the project is to create a “green” building that would be used to educate and inspire the visitor to implement sustainable practices in their own lives. The Cleveland Museum of Natural History is located at 1 Wade Oval Drive in University Circle. It attracts 250,000 visitors per year.

I'm sure that the cat didn't like that a large camera and bright light was pointed at it.

I got a chance to look at beautiful home on Franklin that is being renovated. This home is the first home on the north side of the street (the closest home to W.25th). Here are some of the highlights: -basement media room and game room. A very large bar. The owner bought some old bowling alley lanes and is using the wood as the bar top. -huge wine cellar -four story elevator -6 bedrooms (two are being used as offices) -oak paneled walls -speakers built into the ceiling -each door in the house was purchased from an antique store -drinking fountain -wide screen plasma tv above bath tub I could go on and on.. What really blew me away was the incredible attention to detail. The owner bought so many unique items and integrated them into the house. This is truly a treasure of a home. I hope that the owners put it on the OC home tour someday.

I'm not impressed. I perform byzanize maneuvers quite freqently.

i believe that the warehouse district shares the 113 zip code.

Its business as usual for Halite. Despite the sale rumors/truth, they are still serving food and drinks.
