  1. What is that all about?
  2. That school and their founder was featured in the Waiting for "Superman" documentary.
  3. Looks like they plan on it for West 6th, between Lakeside and St. Clair. Nothing for West 9th though that I see. East 9th will be getting a resurfacing though finally.
  4. If you plan ahead you can get a round trip ticket to new york through United Airlines for $142
  5. Is their anything happening? What truth will be revealed?
  6. Looks like the 30 Capitol Limited (CHI - CLE) time is down to 5 hr, 49 min which is very competitive to driving. The time to chicago still ranges from about 6 hr 4 min, to 7 hours.
  7. Must have been the random dates I chose at first. I did get it down to $208, which makes things a lot better. I would love for an expansion in rail service as well. So for Chicago it does make a little more sense. For long distance, like to New York City, it currently has no real benefits that I can think of.
  8. Something funny. Wasnt sure where to post it.
  9. I did look into that as well and even that isn't the best. Two people round trip to Chicago from Cleveland... Flying - 1 hr 18 min. $283.20 Driving - 5 hr 47 min. $75.44 of gas. Train - 7 hr 0 min. $364.00 So the train takes the longest and costs the most. And still is extremely inconvenient, while other modes allow you to leave basically anytime you want.
  10. ClevelandOhio replied to David's post in a topic in Urbanbar
    One of the craziest things I have seen.
  11. You want quirky? Geneva-on-the-Lake
  12. That is just a bad idea all around.
  13. I definitely trust you. You've always been right in the past. It will be awesome to finally see that space finally used. Such a cool building.
  14. I would really like taking amtrak somewhere because it is something I have never done. But its hard to go through with it for many reasons. I can fly two people, round trip, to New York City for $283.20 total. To take two people, round trip, on amtrak it costs $296.00 total. So its cheaper to fly. Also a flight to New York City from Cleveland is 1 hr 36 mn A train ride to New York City from Cleveland is 12 hr, 45 min Way faster to fly. Hell even way faster to drive. Taking a plane I can basically leave for New York, and return to Cleveland anytime time of the day id like. Taking a train I have to leave for New York City at 5:50 am, and I have to arrive back home at 3:27 am. Those amtrak times are terrible. This is coming from someone who loves trains, and would really like to take one for a trip. It just doesn't make sense on any level. Not on price, time, or convenience. In Switzerland if I want to take get to Geneva from Zurich, its actually faster by train than by car. To drive it takes 3 hours and 12 mins. To take a train it take 2 hours and 43 mins.
  15. Cleveland: Port levy officially okayed for ballot CLEVELAND -- Voters county-wide will face a November levy that will produce revenue to make improvements keeping up the Port of Cleveland, the lakefront and mouth of the Cuyahoga River. On Wednesday, the Port board voted to put a 5-year, 0.67 mill property tax hike on the ballot. The proposed levy would increase taxes from a present $3.50 to $20 per $100,000 of property values. It would bring in $18 million a year through tax year 2017 http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/253728/3/Cleveland-Port-levy-officially-okayed-for-ballot
  16. ^ Ive always agreed with that. If a company really want a sprawling campus for some reason, Id rather they build it in Cleveland than in the suburbs. We've got plenty of room. Now I would hope in the future, the campus desire fades, which I think has already begun, but I would sure like to have some of those companies back that have left the city completely. Now that should not exist in Downtown. But I think there should be a designated place in the city for that type of buildings to cater to certain businesses desires. Im not really seeing the suburban thing happening in midtown though, not with the techpark atleast. I know the article states that, but exactly is the major factor that makes this suburban? Cant be the zero setback or the access to public transit.
  17. Has anyone tried that new mac and cheese place out by CSU? Any good?
  18. ^ Thats strange, but maybe they dont want any information leaked over twitter? Who knows
  19. ^ THAT building reminds you of BGSU? :wtf: lol, that would be the best building on their campus!
  20. But Cleveland's CSA is still larger. Does that play any effect on these numbers? And a large portion of Cincinnati's MSA is out of state.
  21. It was always planned to be four. If you look at the rending, this is the building on the left, the westernmost building. Only the center building is planned to be five, with street level retail.
  22. Here is a picture from their facebook. Looking closer, it appears that they have gotten the power lines buried!
  23. The new apartments on Chester is the "The Langston" and they have a website up. http://www.thelangston.com/TheLangston/Index.aspx They have a pretty cool floorplan viewer. http://www.thelangston.com/TheLangstonOH/3dfloorplans.aspx Heres a rendering that was never posted! And a link to pricing http://www.thelangston.com/TheLangstonOH/Printablebrochure.aspx
  24. Mentor might just put more focus and funds towards the park/beach. It would be interesting to see funding breakdown for both.
