If your income is low enough to be eligible, you could try applying for an affordable housing unit through Detroit Shoreway CDC. I've been in a couple of the buildings and they are quiet and very well maintained. Most of them are on Detroit and Franklin in or near Gordon Square. Rents are in the ballpark of $300-500. PM if you want more details.

I've always wanted to see a Living Wall installed on the Standard's backside.

I don't have any pictures to share, (because the Uber app is a battery killer!) but this was the most incredible event I've ever attended in Cleveland. Unreal :)

Bialosky+Partners has updated/altered massing renderings on the Intesa project page of their website that I've never seen featured or posted anywhere before. http://www.bialosky.com/projects/intesa.php The new(?) schematics show the office portion of the project shifted from the corner of Circle and Mayfield Rd to the edge of the property abutting the railroad overpasses and Mayfield. The "two" residential buildings seem to now be connected into one building that sits prominently at Circle and Mayfield and features "townhouses" on the top two floors. There's no parking garage or pedestrian bridge across Mayfield in these plans, either.

^^ what is the building to the left of the residential tower supposed to be?

I #LUVCAK ... Could I get that in bumper sticker?

First Federal Lakewood's announcement lists 6610 as their new location in Gordon Square. I walked by today and noticed that address currently belongs to Chase Bank. So, No more Chase in the neighborhood.

A Kimpton Hotel topped with luxury apartments will fill the Schofield Building.

I wonder if Le Méridien would make such an announcement without the financing being lined up first? I think Kimpton announced well before financing was finalized on Schofield. A video (from either WEWS or WOIO) announcing Heinens' move into the Rotunda and Swetland had Joe Marinucci from DCA saying "the T's are crossed and the I's are dotted on the Le Meridien deal and that it'd be announced shortly"..for whatever that's worth.

I had to figure this one out when I bought my Wicked tickets last week, too. I ended up going with the Dress Circle B over the loge seats. It was a tough decision, but the DCB seats are row H, so I scooped those up. If they had been any further from stage, I'd have gone with the loge seats. This doesn't help at all, I guess...but it WAS a tough decision to make!

^I want that.

Routing Apps like HopStop just use your location and do it all for you.

^I love this idea. To me, it would only add to Wendy Park's uniqueness as a recreation destination. And given the rate at which commercial development is occurring in the city, we're still probably a good 20-30 years out from *needing* the land the port currently occupies for development, so the slow process of building new land with dredgings would be acceptable. Plus, there aren't many(or any)potent constituencies in the immediate area that could protest the ports relocation to this site (presumably).

I thought the second Market District was planned for Strongsville.

I'm gonna -glass half full- this one and say Fitworks closing will be a positive development for the 5th Street Arcades. It's a pretty bare bones facility and the hours they keep aren't the most convenient. It's a "large space" by Arcade standards and is right inside one of the Euclid Ave. entrances, so I can see whatever moves in acting as an anchor of sorts.
