Pretty sure I saw it too, it was on Prospect in front of Hyde Park. It was more of a red white and blue scheme and said something on the side like 'the clean-air future' or something like that. It had a significant hump at the top, and looked a little like a health line bus without the articulator piece. I was assuming it was a CNG prototype.

There's no paint involved. The mismatch you see is just old soot covered brick harvested from other areas, mixed in with the power washed brick from the front of the building. When they do the final cleaning it will match.

Fair enough.

I threw it together in Sketchup and previewed it in Google Earth. I could send you the kmz if you PM me.

Just trying to give a little more perspective here. I think the only place it will really stick out is from Progressive field. It is really going to block views of 200 PS and Key.

Oh no, not another tall building in my city!

From http://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/det1994017575/PP/ Anyone have a guess at what that structure is in the originals?

It's to prevent insiders from being thrown out through windows, and outsiders from smashing in through said windows.

That sequence with the Browns game, Progressive field fireworks, PHS fireworks, that was powerful.

I think blast-proofing was another aspect. Does anyone know why the east façade did a massive reconfiguration and looks different than the other 3 facades? I'm guessing that had something to do with the 6 month delay.

From my understanding: The grey masonry units which are being painted white = anchors for the fiberglass replicas of the original terra cotta ornamentation (darker shade of red than the bricks). A couple fiberglass cornices at different levels have already been attached. The black, grey, brown bricks which are interspersed with the red = bricks harvested from other areas of the building which haven't been power washed yet. Once they finish they will power wash everything and the discontinuities will go away.

Something along the lines of the Schofield cupola, it had been gone for so long...etc etc...

I think there were some doubts about the cornice of the 1010 building being restored, but it looks like the skeletal system is currently being assembled, starting from the Breuer side, moving frontwards.

Bwahahaha I was thinking the exact same thing!

You could probably creatively get around it. "The 9 proudly serves PEPSI!"

I passed by someone who was guiding a tour for some suits down Euclid and it sounded like possibly the Halle building would be one of them.

I believe he's referring to the student housing project displacing the Jewish Federation and Playhouse Square buildings.

I was actually surprised that the windows were going in before all of the masonry repair and replacement. It seems like there would be a high risk of breaking them, but I suppose they are professionals and know what they are doing.

Indeed. They started yesterday and are getting them in at a decent clip.

Is this due to the elimination of walking from the red line station to the destination? In my experience, the actual vehicle trip is much shorter on the red line (it reaches higher speeds and has fewer stops). When I was taking night classes at CSU, if I missed a healthline bus going east to university station/stokes, I would hike to tower city to catch the red line instead of waiting for the next healthline. Maybe they have streamlined the service since I last rode.

Take a look at the renovated Victory building: http://www.victorycentercleveland.com/about/image-gallery/

So if they've been denied permission to demolish, but don't get a chance to make a case for it again until after the deadline, what happens? Do they get some sort of fine for not starting renovations?

Wow, don't miss the photos attached to that article. Save the floor plans locally also, they are resized smaller in the browser. http://www.wkyc.com/picture-gallery/news/local/2014/02/10/photos--inside-the-9-project/5184315/

Demolition, followed by construction of a Dollar Store, set back from the street, plenty of parking. How's that?
