I think that's actually an image of the Detroit riot of 1967. https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/detroit-race-riot-1967/

Old photo if you look at the trees. They redid the courts and put them under a bubble. Now the Medical Mutual courts I believe.

And don't forget to imagine jersey barriers instead of the bollards.

It's not that out of place. There's a 12 story office building and 8 story condo building within stone's throw of where it will be built.

Back in September: https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/news/local_news/federal-agents-raid-tibor-s-kosher-meats-and-three-houses/article_1e739f90-fcf5-11ea-87ad-17bd15f32321.html I was walking with my family on Larchmont that day as a steady stream (maybe 15 total?) of gray, white, and black unmarked and dark window-tinted vehicles with out-of-state plates continued to pass by us and then stop in front of this house. It was quite the spectacle and we all stopped to watch. And then out come the federal agents from all of these cars, one of whom apologized to us for 'disturbing our neighborhood', surround the house and conduct their operation. After reading it was an FDA raid, I figured it was maybe a Kosher-related thing, or something to do with the recent sale of Tibor's. Still, the scale of the raid seemed kind of ridiculous. I had been waiting for some follow-up news on it, and lo and behold it was a bit more insidious: https://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/2021/03/prosecutors-in-cleveland-seek-more-than-5-million-in-assets-through-forfeiture-from-accused-thc-trafficking-ring.html Now that orange Lambo I saw parked in front of the house over the summer makes a little more sense.

Yeah, I would agree with you're buying nothing. I guess you're getting a temporary experience. Digital pogs. Or you're betting the value of that nothing will be worth more to someone else in the future. Stated in the blog was that Epic made 2.4 billion dollars in micro-transactions for costumes in Fortnite. So once the Fortnite fad is over and their servers are shut down, that value instantly goes to 0. I'm guessing the target market for all of this stuff is mostly gamers with not much else better to do with their money and not much impulse control. It does all seem like a stupid cash grab on paper.

I went to school with Stalder at Athens HS. Interesting seeing his name in one of your articles. Very cool dude.

Something....about that food arrangement....just not sitting right with me.....

So this would essentially block the earlier hotel proposal for that space, no?

I would have thought that a large station at 271 would be a requirement for any green line extension.

Not that I enjoy seeing potential developments fall through, but hopefully something/someone with a better vision takes it's place.

Cool. Hopefully that E75th street hill stabilization was the section where it looked like rebar and old rail ties pounded in to the ground was the only thing holding up the rail bed.

What basement?

Love this guy's coverage of, and campaign against the 'Fake Guru' epidemic of scammers on Youtube ads hawking get rich quick 'courses' or 'coaching' for thousands of dollars a pop, and apparently reeling in millions in the process, mostly from financially desperate individuals. A really sleazy underworld of individuals with no shame or conscience, but a natural progression of the self-help industry. The best part is that his channel is likely almost entirely funded by the advertisements he rails against, and you're treated to one them pretty much every time you watch one of his videos.

That's just a terrible stitching job by google between two sets of imagery in the 2018 set. There's no way concrete could withstand that degree of displacement without failure. This is a screenshot of the latest imagery from google earth that I just uploaded:

3D Pipes from Win95?

I had considered doing this but having a brick veneer cavity wall on my house creates a thermal bypass to the foundation so interior insulation is the only efficient way to insulate in that case.

Adelio's Contracting, Chubb Construction, and Girard Construction are others who do it right if you're willing to get more estimates.

My assumption was that since it wasn't covered up with a facade like the building next to it, it just wasn't as well preserved and exposed to more pollution and grime.

Be wary of the contractors using scare tactics to get you to sign a contract quickly. Probably interior 'Basement Systems' companies aka french drain to sump pump. It's more difficult to waterproof stone foundations externally, since the surface of the foundation wall isn't flat like a cmu or poured concrete foundation, and the house likely predates foundation drain tile and a way to drain water to daylight or the city storm sewers. An exterior sump pump might be necessary. However it's the right way to do it. Otherwise the repeated intrusions of water will slowly (or quickly if the leaking is really frequent or constant) deteriorate the mortar holding the stones together, and an interior french drain and sump pump only removes the symptoms instead of fixing the cause. I've heard good things about Integrity Waterproofing from Lakewood. You could also try to do it yourself. I waterproofed about 40 feet of my basement walls a couple years ago. I was in the same circumstance after buying our home as you with the inaccurate/misleading disclosure. But the lady we bought the house from was an Auschwitz survivor and passed away shortly after we moved in, so I'll give her a pass on the whole leaky basement thing. It was 2 days of 15 hours of digging per day with a friend helping for a couple hours each day, to get down 5.5-6 feet deep with about 12-18" of width to just be able to squeeze down in the trench. Fortunately the house (1952) had functional terra cotta drain tiles next to the footer with just a little sedimentation . So after cleaning the dirt/clay off the walls, you fill any cracks with hydraulic cement (~$30 per medium sized pail). In your case you might have to re-point the stones with an appropriate mortar, or parge the whole wall to get a flat surface. Maybe ask a mason for advice. Then coat the walls with trowel grade roofing cement (4-5 5gal pails $40 per pail), or a more expensive waterproofing mastic of your choosing, then cover that with 6 or 8 mil polyethylene while it's still wet ($100 roughly to cover the entirety of the walls), then backfill almost the entire trench with #57 washed gravel (got mine delivered from DeMilta for I think around $500 for 10 cu yards) and leave about 12" at the surface for clay and topsoil on top. Filter fabric around the stone backfill will prolong the life of the drain tile. Then I paid around $400 to have someone haul away the excavated clay (around 12 cu yards). You could also redo the downspout drain system while you've got it trenched out. As far as tools, If there are concrete obstructions like a sidewalk or patio or driveway, you can rent a concrete wet saw for $70 for a half day from Handy Rents and sledge the cutout into pieces or rent their electric jackhammer if it's reinforced or really thick. DeMilta also let me drop off the chunked concrete in their yard in Eastlake for free. Drywall taping knife for scraping dirt off the walls. A large trowel to spread the roofing cement. A large wire brush from the welding section of Lowes/HD to clean the walls. A few shovels since I bent or broke 2 during the process. Wheelbarrow mandatory. Some plywood to protect your grass. Permitting and registering as a contractor with Beachwood ended up costing $375. It's simple but tedious work. Obviously you'd be playing with your life, so there's that too.

Walking by this today, every one of those western facing doors had a blue "Sold" sticker on it.

I believe we established that the South Harbor station is not an unreasonable walk, and even if someone found it unreasonable, they could use the existing trolley loop to get basically to the front door.

That's 925 Euclid, The Centennial.
