Yeah they should move all of the parking to the alley

Whatever happend to this? Were visuals ever released?

My favorite quote from an article about the possibility of banning texting while driving. From someone who lives in Cleveland who is against banning it. ""I get so much work done on my cell phone while I'm driving, I drive long distances,""

Hahaha I love this

@stpats44113 Gain weight and then you wont have trouble finding your size in their shirts! ;)

I thought the downtown residence was closer to 10,000? Yes you will often hear the 10,000 figure because pure population numbers are around 9471. Remove the 2000+ prisoners and the homeless shelter population, and you get that 6,817 number I posted. And as I said early even a good chunk of that number is public housing residents, who as StrapHanger posted, probably aren't the focus of the national high end retailers. And since people love to round up you will also hear 12,000 by others. This is from people who include the West Bank of the flats, which I dont believe is downtown, and is not that walkable to downtown. With the West Bank included the number is around 11,693. The majority of the 2000+ flats residents come from Lakeview Terrace, which are again, not major retailers focus.

Looks like there will be some connection to West 9th

For Tower City to be a successful draw, it needs national chains that aren't in the suburbs, or like I said, are only on one side of town. The big names will draw people in, and then the local stores can benefit off the foot traffic, if local stores are included. With a downtown population of about 6,817, downtown residents cant support these stores alone. Suburbs are crucial to the success of Tower City. Especially when that number includes section 8 and public housing, and homeless shelters. That number is more around 6,000 when you eliminate those(they wont be able to afford the high end stores.) Then how many of those remaining 6,000 will be able to afford higher end stores? Students are included in those numbers as well.

I find it comical than when entering Little Italy from Euclid Avenue, you see a giant billboard for Marcos Pizza that states, "Authentic Italian"

I know people from the far eastside who drive 50 minutes to Cockerpark to go to stores that do not exist on the the eastside. If Tower City could get some national stores that aren't anywhere else in the region or have only one location serving only one side of town I am almost positive that it would be able to draw people from the suburbs easily.

I would love to see this version of public square! The building on the left is beautiful I love the terminal tower but damn... :( Even the current older buildings on Euclid tore down even more beautiful buildings A few other randoms Shaker Square

Playhouse Square

Over the last 30 days here are a few crime maps. Shaker Square and Little Italy seem to have the least amount of problems. Shaker Square - Criminal Damaging or Endangering Little Italy - Domestic Violence and Identity Theft Ohio City - Several Petty Thefts, Two Criminal Damaging or Endangering, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Passing Bad Checks Kamms Corner - Simple Assault, Weapons Violation, a couple Criminal Damaging or Endangering, Robbery Strong Arms, and Theft. http://www.clevelandgis.org/pub/index.html?config=crime.xml

So the move was never reported on? Just buried in a useless mostly negative article about the square.

How is this coming along? Also, MTS, whats your take on this? http://www.cleveland.com/shaker-heights/index.ssf/2011/12/shaker_squares_holiday_lights.html

Based on recent crime, it appears that the west side is beginning to see more violent crime than the east side. Especially in neighborhoods such as Clark-Fulton, West Boulevard, and Cudell. In the past 7 days Detroit Shoreway has seen far more violent crime than Hough.

Whats going on here? I saw wooden boards on the front support beams.

I'm actually friends with the artist. Don't expect them to be fix anytime soon. I'm not exactly sure what happened but it's bean expensive repairs, and he doesn't want to pay out of his own pocket... Thats a shame. I also really liked them. Its kind of embarrassing to have them all out or partially out.

Is there anywhere good to look at christmas lights? Not downtown or Nela park though

I doubt the health science building will look anything like that.

Looks awesome! Btw, could possibly free up your mailbox so I could send you a PM. Thanks!

^^ I would think apartments there would make more sense. I would choose to purchase elsewhere in the city as well. But 3231 did not clarify so whether it goes rental or condos, I will be happy.

I would say that the 2025 Ontario building would fit the bill http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/16937716/2025-Ontario-St-Cleveland-OH/ If you are right I would be excited. That area desperately needs some life, and with the casino opening I always thought these few buildings would be a great conversion to residences.

Disgusting. http://www.wkyc.com/news/education/article/219038/35/Cleveland-Special-needs-boy-beaten-unconscious
