I think it makes some sense, but the I think roads have been moved, eliminated and/or renamed. I think you can still use it to get a general sense of what the neighborhood looked like back when it was originally developed. Are the neighborhood streets curvy and irregular like that map, or are they more on a regular grid now? I love areas that have streets designed like that map...very Olmstead-esque. There are a couple places in Cincy that follow that design (Glendale, and the Rookwood neighborhood of Hyde Park come to mind), and a section of St. Louis near Wash U that is absolutely beautiful because of the natural appearence of the streets. Well, there are a few very curvy streets in that area, but for the most part, it's not nearly as extreme as the map I posted. I think I originally posted that map to give people a general idea of what were the original boundaries of the Euclid Heights development.

Yeah there are some really nice homes in the Chagrin Valley suburbs for sure. A few recent discoveries of mine that are off the beaten path would be Oak Hill Road (East Cleveland), Oakwood Drive (Cleveland Heights), and Sheridan Road (South Euclid). Most of the homes on these streets aren't mansions by any stretch, but there is some really cool architecture worth checking out some time. Also I can't think of the name of the street, but I remember seeing some nice older homes in Bratnahl. I know we're way off-topic here, but if anyone has any specific suggestions of streets with other nice, older homes in the University Circle or East Cleveland areas or heck anywhere else in the near north/northeastern suburbs, I'd love to hear about it and go exploring sometime.

I wish we had more real row houses!

I don't know if I agree with that. I think giving free space away could potentially devalue the space. I'm not sure it will raise the demand on the remaining space.

I like the way you think!

They'd probably have to play all of their games on Sunday evenings (London time).

I was very pleased with Miller's play last night before he was injured. He's still very raw, but he showed signs that he can be a legitimate option for the program moving forward. That said, if he's not 100%, they have to give Guiton or Graham a shot.

Well I guess MTS has spoken, so there will be no NFL franchise in London and we should probably find another topic of franchise relocation to discuss.

Please provide a link. I, like the whippersnappers, dont feel like searching for it. No, I'm asking for a link. Period. You nitpick over the most minor details sometimes. :whip: Anyways: http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2011-09-27/nfl-to-keep-london-on-season-itinerary-second-game-possible

Ohhh! I get it now, the Medical Mart is still moving along exactly as planned as sold to the taxpayers, and everything reported by the Plain Dealer is just fear-mongering? I'm glad that's all cleared up and I feel much better about all of the free space being given away to tenants. I'm also happy to be reminded that private entities taking on little risk using public moneys have never screwed up before.

Agreed. We played basketball and volleyball there during summers and they expanded the building. The current center is at least 3 times the size it was back in the day. Yeah, during the summer they converted the ice rink to a gym for basketball (and I guess volleyball). Oddly enough, I can't ever remember being in that building when they had the gym setup. They've also probably added treadmills and other workout equipment (before renovation they did have a limited selection of this equipment), but I'm not sure where these are located now. Regardless, this is all probably picking at the nit a bit too much. The new facility is very nice.

One other thought, there are some magnificent hidden areas of East Cleveland just off of Lee Road (north of Northvale-Forest Hills/south of Terrace/west of Taylor). I can see why certain people might be itching to annex part of EC (not to mention bring along with it Forest Hills Park). ;)

I can tell you with certainty that the old recreation center was NOT entirely demolished. I played rec hockey there for a better part of my youth and that old ice rink is still there just as it always was. Basically, the new ice rink was built in the old parking lot, an atrium was add between the two ice rinks towards the new parking lot near Monticello Boulevard, new locker rooms were added, and the main entrance was moved from Superior Road to Monticello Boulevard. They may have done some other things, but as someone who spent a lot of time there before the renovation and visited it quite often since, these are the things that stand out to me the most. Also, it should be noted, I can't remember a time, going back to the early 1990s, when the facility ever had an indoor pool. Maybe before then, but not since as far as I know.

I remember the Firehouse restaurant and I agree it was very good and always packed. That building is the "twin" of the one on Noble Rd. Fairfax Elementary (along with Coventry and Boulevard) were built in the 1970s and have the ugly architecture typical of the time period.

I don't know if it was a bookstore, but I do know that it was a video store and then a liquor store. Now I believe it's vacant. Glad to see some pictures of the schools--lots of great/under-appreciated architecture in the CH-UH district. I thought that old firehouse was a police academy? Is it also a satellite station? Never knew that...

Oh, Severance...try again...

Yeah, Ambler Heights has some gems, too.

Oh come on, it's pretty easy to know where the border is! 8-) As long as you're on North Park Boulevard, you're in CH. The only part of NP where this is not true is when you get east of Beaumont School. Anyways, this is the nicest area of CH, and I'd put the housing stock here up against just about any area in Ohio. Ironically, many outer-ringers drive through this area on a daily basis commuting between their place of employment in Cleveland and their McMansions in the sprawlburbs.

The building in #33 is the B.R. Deming house. Deming founded the Euclid Golf Allotment in the 1910s. Most of the homes that extend up the first part of Fairmount Boulevard were part of this development http://www.euclidgolf.com/deming_house_construction.htm http://www.euclidgolf.com/index.htm

Nice map, I see a misprint though lol. The called it Mayfield Raod on accident. There are some weird things going on with that map when I study it more closely. It's from over a century ago, though, so some things have certainly changed. I got it from here: http://www.clevelandmemory.org/SpecColl/barrow/thesis/chapter4.html#sh5

A few thoughts about Coventry: Is that the supposed haunted house in picture #91? I think it's on the southeast corner of Hampshire and Cadwell? Also, you should have gotten some shots of Rock Court. There are a lot of hidden gems in Cleveland Heights, I'm anxious to see if you got a chance to get them in your photo-shoot!

That area was originally known as "Euclid Heights." A large chunk of people that call the area home are CWRU students.

I asked this earlier but didn't get an answer: does anyone know if the parking lots/garage in the new development is going to be limited to residents/patrons, or also open to commuting students?
