Paul in Cleveland

I find this comment fascinating ... I'm in my mid-fifties and comfortable seating is an issue for me more than it used to be. But I was most recently at the Capitol a month ago in the big theater and the seats were totally fine. Plus, I've never found it to be dirtier than any other movie theater — and we love its charm and location.

Does anyone know what's happening with the Franklin Yards project / specifically the new townhouses being built north of Franklin? The construction got up to ground level, and since then, very little has happened for 2 weeks or more. Then about a week ago, two of these signs popped up. 🤔

The new townhouses at Bridge/W47th are getting brickwork done. Also, @KJP any update on the Vibe? The site clearing finished 6+ weeks ago and it's been dormant since. Hoping for some news here soon!

Glad you enjoyed OC! We moved here a year ago from the 'burbs, and after looking for a while. Love it so much.

Except the text literally says this: "clearing the way for a yet-to-be-named Fortune 100 company" The headline when I click the link does not match the one you posted.

Yes, they're really cruising with the Breakwater demolition ... impressive. I was just saying last night how much I want something with Westinghouse to happen. That is such a high visibility site, not just from the Shoreway, but from all around that part of town, including on the bike path. I'm about ready to start the GoFundMe for it myself. 😂

So what is that they're putting down? It reminds me of sod, but I don't think it's sod (at least the expensive stuff you put in around a suburban McMansion). And does this mean that worst case scenario for the park — that it falls back to only a first phase in 2028 — that there will at least be wide open grassy areas all along the river in the interim? That wouldn't be the worst thing.

Is it this or something else? Excited to hear!! (https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/E-12th-St-Cleveland-OH/35555015/)

@FutureboyWonder don't sell yourself short! I often struggle with those sites, too, and I'm a degreed engineer. 🤪 Are the townhouses going right in that side yard next to you?

My husband, who works at ODOT, asked me to share this ... upcoming meeting on Thursday, think I may go!

Update on The Vantage from today ...

I know this is outside of downtown/The Flats, but The Bop Stop is a pretty neat little venue, and it's not even a mile from downtown's edge. People tend to forget about (I do occasionally, as well!) 😀👍 But back on topic (sorry!), I would absolutely support a jazz club at Greyhound, both figuratively and literally! Hre's hoping they do something great with the space.

Awful news! Phases of the park possible in 2028? Everything I heard previously was that the stabilization would finish this year and the park would be done in late 2027. I've already been frustrated that it was going to take two full years to build the park, and now this? Grrrrrr.

The townhouses at Bridge and W47th are coming along quickly now!

They're finally making progress on the two front (side?) units at The Vantage.

Sorry, I'll be in Montana that weekend. Have fun, all!

When I look at what the architect did with the dramatic rotunda in front of the Devon Energy Center in OKC, it makes me sad that instead of something like that, we got a structure that's closer to a Cheesecake Factory.

From today (sorry for the car window reflections). I'd say the tiling on top looks better in person. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

We went to see the light show last night, and I was really looking forward to it. It was so disappointing. The lights were okay, but the narrators/narration was so cringe. It felt like they were saying, "We matter! We're important!" over and over. Ugh. It'd be better if they simply played a medley of famous rock songs for five minutes at the top of every hour. Or mix it up every hour between classic rock / 80s pop / Cleveland originals / 90s R&B / rock opera / etc.

Yup, Breakwater stuff is all gone! From today ...

I wonder if downtown comes back into play, is it ONLY a renovation of the current stadium that's on the table? I still think a dome on the west end of a closed Burke is a win-win-win, even given the longer timeline.

From today ... working on the foundation for the third building of The Vantage. And the middle building of the old complex is now totally gone on Breakwater.

They've really been cruising on the new window installs on the east side of the eastern building in the Franklin Yards project. Looking nice!!

First windows on The Vantage ... and there is definitely demolition happening on the south side of Breakwater! 🎉

Franklin Yards project still progressing, day by day ... more windows on the south side, more structure on the north side.
