I hope they end up keeping this building and tying it into the new development. http://tinyurl.com/4l792kh

And the crazy thing about CSU is their location. UC has a bug impact and there is a decent distance between the college and downtown. CSU is literally downtown. Hopefully they continue to grow and we see the benefit that the school can bring.

CSU I think could have the biggest potential on impacting this region and downtown. I wonder when they plan on tearing down Viking Hall.

UPDATE on old master plan www.csuohio.edu/offices/architect/MP_MASTER.pptx Mather Boutique Hotel? Global Sustainable Center? Rendering included Sounds interesting. My favorite part is the pedestrian bridge and parking deck roof conversion to park in the main plaza in the center of the campus.

some interesting pictures here http://photos.cleveland.com/4501/gallery/st_patricks_day_parade_in_cleveland_since_1867/index.html

Yes looking at it again you can see the roof of the euclid arcade(colonial marketplace) and the buildings across form that would be the east 4th prospect parking lot. On the far left of the picture, the red building I believe is the United Church of Christ building which was built in 1896.

please stop breaking my heart lol

^ Well it from the old national city building, so that must be prospect

Hey those lots add character! :lol:

I dont think its that ugly. It should be brick from the designs I saw. Adds nice density to the street, and people. I think it will do great things for the area and hope to see more of it. This should all be in the Cleveland State Development Thread instead since its being built by Cleveland State shouldn't it?

Thanks for the link. That conversation was back from october though lol in case you didn't see that!

Whats the bottom floor going to be? I looks like ther could be retail, but im not sure.

I thought I heard it for Waite Hill since they have no commercial sector. Ill do some research tomorrow though

Yes, where end scenes in The Fugitive (1993) were filmed. The Palmer House was NOT a site the movie. The fugitive was filmed at the HILTON Chicago (on S. Michigan Ave.) not the Palmer House Hilton (on Monroe & State). Both are old school hotels and many people confuse the two. I've stayed in the suite that filming took place and we've had events in the ball room used for filming. The Hilton Chicago is on S. Michigan Ave., and in the last scenes of the movie they are driving away from the hotel, north on Michigan Ave. Same here, the ballroom was beautiful. The Hilton Chicago is more south

I cant imagine ever leaving lol

My bad I meant to say I heard that somewhere. I will see if I can find any proof to back that up

<b>Lawmakers hope to repeal death tax By Tracey Read [email protected]</b> Waite Hill has about 446 residents with no commercial enterprise. So how does the village still manage to have a $9 million net in its capital improvement fund? The answer is simple: estate taxes, otherwise known as the death tax. An almost $2 million project to rebuild Waite Hill Village Hall and the adjacent police department is about 80 percent complete, Mayor Arthur D. Baldwin II said. The project was made possible by Ohio's tax on money and possessions left after death. Republican state lawmakers introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal the estate tax. "There's no question people flee from Ohio because of this tax," said Bainbridge Township Trustee Matt Lynch, who is also an estate lawyer. "There's an incredible amount of money and legal fees paid to try and avoid the tax — everything from setting up a trust to changing residences to Florida. I would be very surprised if this does not pass." http://news-herald.com/articles/2011/01/23/news/nh3543174.txt

I dont mind getting rid of the tax because maybe it would force certain cities to have to consolidate and possibly come together. Some cities it counts for 80% of there money

And I know rich people do end up leaving the state in order to avoid the tax. There was a story of a guys estate that the tax took 8 million. And about the dogs, I think the most naturally vicious dogs are the over grown rats. Last summer in the warehouse district some guy was carry his puppy, a nice dog very friendly, and some lady had this rat dog with legs the size of pencils. The lady put her dog by the guys dog to say hello and the thing bit the dog in the ear and cut it. The dog was growling and just acting horrible while the dog that got bit didn't even fight back or anything.

Yeah the issue is its being double taxed. First the estate tax and then once you get it, it gets income taxed.

Did you notice that north of the river had way more activity at night and on the weekend?

^ LOL

I like that and the other bills they listed. Especially the second one <b>Estate tax repeal among 18 bills Ohio House GOP introduces to advance agenda</b> • Authorize Kasich, a Republican, to create JobsOhio, the private, nonprofit economic development corporation he will establish to replace the Ohio Department of Development. • Establish tax credits for employers who hire unemployed people and for businesses that expand into vacant buildings. • Prohibit late-term abortions. Rep. Lorraine Fende, a Democrat from Willowick, introduced the bill. • Take pit bulls off the state's "vicious dog" list. • Prohibit speeding tickets based on an officer's visual estimation of speed of a motor vehicle. http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2011/01/estate_tax_repeal_among_18_bil.html

I heard somewhere that we might get rid of the estate tax? Is this true? Edit: Yes http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2011/01/estate_tax_repeal_among_18_bil.html
