Yeah, not the greatest of news. At least they are going to build it up to the sidewalk like they did with the one on W. 117th. But that will still leave a lot of asphalt in back.

^Do residents park in the streets or do they have assigned garage spaces?

^Herbie the Love Bug?

It will be part of the Mandel center. In scale, it seems to be approriate for the street as building sizes taper down from Dively, Wolstein towards the large houses. Still, I think it will look kind of ugly (but sketches don't always give a true sense of how a building will look).

I am sure that Hessler is not happy about it. But they have always known that a building was going to go there.

The Hessler residents knew from the beginning the garden was temporary. Case told them that they could use the land, but that they would be taking it back in the near future for university purposes.

With the way that it was worded, it appears that they will be constructing their facility at the old Trinity site. That would be great news.

If and when Case continues to rebuild the north village, I hope that they deviate from NRV @ 115 style. I like the dorms a lot, but I would not want to see twenty buildings that all look the same. Case will start construction sometime soon on a new building on Bellflower. It will go where Hessler's community garden currently stands. Litt will probably love the structure. It won't be that big (2 or three stories) and it will look very modern. From the preliminary sketches, it looks uninspired.

From a small article in Crain's that wasn't in the online version: Cleveland was awarded $750,000 by the state to help clean up the Trinity site. It also said that Energy-wise will be locating there.

lol

Regarding Litt's commentary on the new Case dorms.. Does the dorms' architectural style actually qualify as gothic? Besides the 'gothic arch', what else makes a structure 'gothic'?

Parklane Villa is the building at Parklane and E105 with the mansard roof. It is surrounded by parking lots on all sides. Last I had heard, the parking lot was going to be turned into a parking deck and 8 new lofts would be built between Judson Manor and Parklane. Judson Manor is a beautiful and somewhat exclusive retirement home. The article doesn't mention the new lofts, so I don't know if that has been scrapped. I would think that the lofts are still a go.

I am not defending the Clinic or UH's configuration, but one tall glass building from Houston says nothing about the urban landscape that the hospital campus creates. Does anyone know any good examples of hospital campuses? I have yet to see a city that has an aesthetic medical district.

^one building does not make a campus.

Clinic to embark on $50M office, garage expansion By SHANNON MORTLAND 6:00 am, April 3, 2006 The Cleveland Clinic next week will begin clearing ground for the $50 million expansion of its office space and parking garage at Euclid Avenue and East 93rd Street. The new structure will add 80,000 square feet of office space for Clinic employees and 1,140 parking spaces, said Bill Peacock, executive director of facilities and construction at the Clinic. The existing, $52 million parking garage opened in 2004 and has 120,000 square feet of office space and 1,328 parking spaces. “As we build the heart center and the Miller Pavilion and the Glickman Tower, we recognize the need to provide additional patient parking,” Mr. Peacock said. The 970,000-square-foot Arnold and Sydell Miller Family Pavilion, which will house the Clinic’s new $475 million heart center and other Clinic institutes, and the $95 million Glickman Pavilion, which will be home to the Clinic’s Glickman Urological Institute, are scheduled to open in 2008. Mr. Peacock said the new parking structure will open just ahead of those buildings in late 2007. The Clinic will begin clearing out a surface parking lot behind the existing parking garage on April 10 and expects to break ground on the seven-level parking garage expansion in mid-April. Bids for the project are expected to go out within two weeks. Though the Clinic has not yet decided what offices would occupy the new space once the building is completed, Mr. Peacock said the Clinic will not need to lease out any of the office space. He said plenty of need for the offices exists within the hospital system.

Pope, Michigan can claim how much of Lake Erie? By the way, one of my favorite plates is the pure blue MI plate. Simplicity is always best. Additionally, I really wish that we would get rid of the "birthplace of aviation" plate. While the Wright brothers were from Ohio, NC had "first in flight" for years before Ohio had to come along and copy the theme. It makes us look like unoriginal fools.

Punch, You're right. For some reason, I thought that he was elected in 1992.

I can see how a Starbucks would want to locate in the area. I can also see how that could hurt the area's other coffee shops.

I love Pilsen. When I go to Chicago, its where I end up spending most of my time. I've got a lot of friends who live and work in the area. Viva el Cristo Rey!

I would prefer to see less retail in this sort of project. Lakewood has enough retail as it is. Increased housing in the area would help support the existing retail and fill up some of the vacancies. I am not saying that there shouldn't be any retail, but I know that this project will cause some other storefronts to go vacant in the area.

I like the "America's Great Cities" version best. Personally, I would love a license plate that has the Terminal Tower on it. I currently have the lighthouse license plate that reads "Erie, our Great Lake."

In Cleveland.. With I-490, I think that a portion of the innerbelt is redundant. I would demolish I-90 from where 490 begins. I would route all thru and downtown traffic through 490. This would allow Tremont and Ohio City to be reunited.

^was this one of his policies?

^let's just say that this class has been informed that he might possibly go on the attack if such questions are presented. Let's also assume the the professor greatly admires the ex-Mayor's ability to scare banks into investing in the inner city. Magyar, Could you explain your question more thoroughly? I think that you could guess at what his response would be. In order to pose a better question, how would you respond to White's potential response that Gateway has done a lot to keep people downtown and encourage residential development? (by the way, wasn't Gateway approved during Voinovich's reign?)
