    I think most people here hate the city and not necessarily the people. I hate the suburbs of Cleveland and suburbs in general but that doesn't make me hate the people that live there. Is it wrong for me to hate suburbs, I dont think it is. Same goes for Phoenix. I dont even necessarily hate Phoenix, I dont like it, but does that make me wrong to not like it, no. Now if I hated everybody in the city that would be a little extreme.

    I feel that many of the neighborhoods that surround downtown Phoenix are ugly and lack character that our ohio cities have. Here is an example. Just spin this around. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Phoenix,+Maricopa,+Arizona&sll=37.079867,-78.747784&sspn=0.033279,0.077076&g=Phenix&ie=UTF8&oi=geospell&cd=1&geocode=Fblh_gEdy-JR-Q&split=0&hq=&hnear=Phoenix,+Maricopa,+Arizona&ll=33.438635,-112.078276&spn=0.002193,0.006861&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=33.438637,-112.077257&panoid=bJR-7888Cu1ZdpTWwER8aA&cbp=12,233.37,,0,3.43

    that second picture is great.
  4. I think this is a great article from people from the outside. I believe it has been posted here before. Most of the comments are nice to read, besides the few by people who once lived in Cleveland. Kind of sounded like the Cleveland.com posters. http://www.metrojacksonville.com/article/2009-aug-elements-of-urbanism-cleveland

    I cant even imagine how dense it was when we had almost a million people. Maybe this second image makes things more clear
  6. I feel that it is closer to euclid then in the rendering http://blog.cleveland.com/medical/2008/05/05182008_hosp.jpg http://media.cleveland.com/business_impact/photo/uh8jpg-f1a71d9ffd074e1e.jpg

    at least maybe Cleveland has another chance next time we bid
  9. Around Downtown, yes. "In Downtown", not so much... unless you are planning to put a corporate campus on the WHD lots. I could see a campus type development in Midtown. God knows theres enough land to do it Thats what i've been saying. If we could use midtown to try to attract companies who are looking to office campuses. Its better then what we have now and it doesn't look like anything better will go there anytime soon. You have your towers downtown, campuses in midtown, and then you've got university circle. Its perfect.

    Thursday night game chants http://cavschants.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/cavs-chants-x-laugh-at-lebron-pdf1.pdf
  11. Here is one from June 9th, 1929 http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=8I8xAAAAIBAJ&sjid=000DAAAAIBAJ&dq=cleveland%20terminal%20tower&pg=6981%2C6618751
  12. What about the carter road bridge
  13. Im really sure what exactly I feel about this. I hope it doesn't take years like some say which will cause for a long delay for the construction of the casino. There seems to be several benefits of the change though.
  14. It's already open! I popped in during it's opening party last Friday night Awesome! How'd it look in the new location?
  15. HAHAHA they removed the Lebron witness banner and all the Lebron references from the rendering video. Good http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/11/rock_ventures_casino_design_pr.html
  16. Okay guys I changed things a little. I have one of my pictures up to show you an example of how things would work. Here is the link again http://urbanohio.tumblr.com/ Feel free to post your pictures!
  17. True, but it was an institution for so many years....and for once I wish that before we demolished a building, we'd have a shovel ready project ready to take its place...and not have some scenario like the oceans of pavement west of Public Square that has been like that for soooo long. The warehouse district hasn't been full since the 40's I believe. The 50's it was still mostly full though.
  18. So I thought that possibly some of you would like to share your pictures of Ohio with people from all over the world. I thought that we could help show people how beautiful Ohio actually is and what it has to offer. I decided to create a photo blog that everybody can contribute to. You have the option to submit your pictures that will then be posted on the blog with credits to you as well as a link to UrbanOhio. If you dont feel like doing that you can also just post the picture on this thread and I will do the work for you. Again feel free to join in and show the world Ohio. Here is the link to the page. If you do feel like posting a picture on this thread, please leave a description of what is in the picture. Thanks http://urbanohio.tumblr.com/
  19. Not everything is worth keeping. Like X said, I wont shed a tear if it goes.
  20. Can we go easy on the stereotyping, please? Its not really stereotyping when the average household income is only about $27,000
  21. Valid point--along with KJP's. But still, you would think there would be readily accessible information in this day and age? Why is there not a word mentioned when you search the word "student" on the RTA fare site? It could at least say something about the partnership with the schools? There is a whole list that comes up when you search student. This being the first. http://www.riderta.com/pro_student.asp
  22. d@mn it would be cool to see. Who owns it?
  23. are there any pictures of the interior of this building
  24. What do you feel are the chances of this project actually happening? Is there still hope?
