Looks like the Barnes & Noble store at 2020 Euclid will get new life. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170207/NEWS/170209853/amazon-sets-in-motion-plan-for-downtown-cleveland-store

Just use it as designed and see what happens. We have wasted enough time and energy.

Should be opening this week. Cool interior.

Seems like the easy solution is to open Superior. Use the Square as designed. While I appreciate Jackson's concern about terrorism, I just don't consider Cleveland as a likely target. Besides, there are a lot more people at other locations where the damage could be greater.

I mention the E. 18th to 21st street area as the appropriate area for the "retail" you mention because those buildings and the property are not owned by the University. The apartments and condos in the area are either on Prospect (Walker Weeks) or on Euclid (University Lofts, 1900 Lofts). The University should focus on getting more people to live in the area and leave the entrepreneurial activity to off-campus investment.

Why should there be retail on the front of University buildings along Euclid Avenue? Shouldn't the University stick to what it does best (education) and let the area between 18th and 21st, "College Town," develop speculative retail? Wouldn't any retail that goes into a University building be under the Food Service or Bookstore contractor? I bet most of those two entities' investment is going into the new student center. Why would they want to disperse their business and incurr more operating costs?
