  1. At this point FCE is holding onto like 90% of the Scranton Peninsula. You shouldn't hold your breath on this one, it's not going to happen for a long time.
  2. Not that these trendy or anything: For some great Slovenian food, Sterle's on E. 55th is great. Danny Boy's in Rocky River is a great place for pizza. And for the largest portions of Italian food anywhere, and at affordable prices, go to Mama Roberto's in Mentor.

    It does look strange, but it's cool and the blue glass will look great, especially on a sunny summer day.
  4. This is the direction Cleveland should be headed, not desparately trying to hold on to federal gov't & military clerical service functions. You got to figure the more technology there is, the more consolidation will make sense, and good jobs that people have today will end up being performed by computers.
  5. I think the reason the price has escalated is due to rising steel and wood prices.
  6. They should be a nice addition.

    Great!
  8. An extention of the Red Line on the East Side especially, and even the West Side, would be the single best thing for the Rapid system today. If that Red Line went out to Mentor, you'd double the ridership. Not too many people want to take the 28X bus down to Windermere, its current terminus. But this would require coopration by each municipality along the way. This is why it will never happen.

    There is so much potential with this. Let's hope it's outstanding. By the way -- based on stories on Boston's fancy new I-95 bridge, my suggestion is to not build something like that here. If they have problems with ice falling off the cables there, it would be even worse in Cleveland with all the snow and ice we get. Think about the Peter B. Lewis building at Case. They need to close off the sidewalks in the winter due to falling ice.
  10. Wow this looks perfect.
  11. Awesome news.
  12. It's so interesting to look at the old maps and plans. Too bad some sort of subway wasn't created.
  13. Unfortunately it's sorry we celebrate the fact graduation rate is at 50%. About the only thing worse is the graduation rate from D1A NCAA basketball programs.
  14. This may be in the realm of fantasy, but it would be cool to bury Ontario and Superior as they go through Public Square. That would make it one contiguous square. Leave the Roadway at ground level, so no work would need to be done to entrances on structures surrounding the Square.
  15. The Sincere Building looks pretty nice on the inside. Views from the Bradley Building are amazing.
  16. Actually locust trees would look nice. They're all over the Warehouse District and seem to do fine. You probably don't want acorns all over Euclid Avenue anyway.

    I now live in Broadview Hts, in a new development on the borders of Brecksville and Richfield. It's called New Hampton, and is rated in the top 100 developments nationwide. It's definitely suburban, but we needed a bigger house on a bit more land than what's available in West Park. Also, since we want to start a family we needed to consider school districts.

    Impressive; hope something along these lines happens.
  19. Geez... there's a lot going on there. MRN is all right.
  20. This was supposed to be built on that little sliver of land in the middle of Ontario, just before Carnegie, immediately west of Jacobs Field. There used to be a Shell gas station there until the mid '90's. Now it's just a grassy lot. Ontario Point I think was/is supposed to be a little visitors center.
  21. Wow what a great post. Talk about a neighborhood that's rarely been mentioned. Too bad your book didn't happen, it would have been excellent.

    Looks like they got alot of work to do by February 15th!

    Interesting. Any development news is good news...although this would make no headlines if it was being built in Macedonia or Avon or Strongsville. Wonder what the restaurants will be.
  24. That's great news. Definitely need to check the place out.
