Cleveland: Cuyahoga County Gov't properties disposition (non-Ameritrust)
They should renovate the Ameritrust tower. This should be their #1 choice -- it's relatively close to the freeway and there's an attached parking garage. Perfect for a county HQ.

Columbus Blue Jackets Discussion
Maybe the question shouldn't be "how's Columbus doing with the NHL on strike"? The real question should be "has the general public in the USA noticed that the NHL was on strike"? The sad thing is that most people havn't noticed. That does not bode well for the future of the NHL.

Amherst: Cleveland Quarries
Ambitious.

Suburban Cleveland: Development and News
In the summer it's horrendous. It boggles my mind that someone is going to build something on a pile of crap.

Columbus: Ohio State Main Library Renovation
I think it looks good.
-
Norwood: Development and News
Crate & Barrel is really nice. Expensive, but nice. The one here in Cleveland is always crowded. Not a big fan of Ikea. We picked up some things last time we went to Pittsburgh, and most of it's already broken.

Key Tower - views from the top!
Breathtaking.

Cleveland: Whiskey Island Coast Guard Station Redevelopment
I agree it's worth keeping. About 10 years ago it was a restaurant, but due to its inaccessibilty it did not last. It is a beautiful structure -- maybe as Whiskey Island inevitably turns into a touristy area the Coast Guard station may come back to life.

Westlake: Crocker Park
Well, if nothing else the place looks nice.

Why Cleveland lacks significant rowhouses
It's kinda funny that most rowhouses in Cleveland are new, as opposed to most other cities. The upstairs/downstairs double was the main housing unit throughout the city in the early 20th century. What's really neat is that in Cleveland Hts (I think) they rehabbed one of these, converting it into a side-by-side "townhouse".

Cleveland: HealthLine / Euclid Corridor
It will be interesting.

Covington, KY: The Ascent at Roebling's Bridge
That's an awesome looking building. Like how it comes to a winding point -- like climbing up a mountain pass.

CLEVELAND - Pinnacle update!
Wow! The shape is showing nicely.
-
Cleveland - House of Blues update!
The Euclid Avenue entrance feels a bit cold. The E. 4th entrance has a friendlier feel to it.

Cambridge / Guernsey County: Developments and News
Cambridge is a nice town. Also around that area is Salt Fork state park, the I-70 & I-77 interchange (once the largest interchange in the world, might still be), and Big Muskie -- one of the largest excavators around.

Elyria, Ohio (city 27 of 27 in my tour)
Elyria really looks nice in this tour.

Montana Townhomes - CLEVELAND
Nice to see some residential going up in Midtown.

Where did you find Urbanohio????
I must had learned of this from SSP. Sad I don't remember...

Cleveland: University Circle (General): Development and News
UC as a whole has really boomed the last few years, as has spinoff in Little Italy, and other surrounding neighborhoods.
-
Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame
Looks nice. $8 seems a little steep though.

Cleveland: Steelyard Commons
Unless the article said something about Forest City Enterprises, nothing's going to happen. FCE owns about 90% of Scranton peninsula, and has been holding it hostage in hopes it can force the city to build a convention center on it's land behind Tower City (riverview parking lots, right next to Sherwin Williams). Ideally, FCE would build a convention center on the riverview site, and across the Cuyahoga River (i.e. Scranton peninsula) they would put in about 3,000 housing units, some retail, and new infrastructure. PS -- FCE had no involvement in the Legacy Village project.

Cleveland to Canada Ferry
It will be interesting to see how much business this service gets. It is cool there will be a ferry. Has anyone ever been to Port Stanley?
-
Cleveland Flats / Ohio City Development - Stonebridge
Cool. This looks like it's from the same developers as Stonebridge.

Random Ohio Sports Talk
Impressive game by the Browns. They stayed focused and dominated the Ravens.
