Has anyone seen this video? Fantastic shots, including homes on Euclid Ave across from Thwing, where UH now stands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=452&v=BzHKJ5zOm30

I did a photosphere... https://goo.gl/maps/WtWwC5oyTwC2

What about the night? Rascal House generated a lot of foot traffic all day long, not just during school hours. I'm not suggesting they kept the pizza shop but a better site plan would have incorporated mixed use on that block. Rather than green grass on one side and parking lot on the other. There are easily 3 times as many restaurants on the very next block as there was when rascal house was on that corner.

This is urban design 101. Setbacks inherently make a sidewalk less pedestrian friendly, as do a lack of public access to and use of a building's ground floor from along a sidewalk. Sure there's pedestrian activity with the student center, but there would surely be more without the setback and if there were more points of access to additional/diverse ground floor uses accessible from multiple points along the front of the structure. You want a building to be more proximate and more porous in its interaction with the sidewalk. I'll have to disagree here. This is a University building for student/faculty use. The exact same number of "pedestrians" would be entering and exiting it if it was built right up to the sidewalk with windows and doors all over. It's not a public building. As a CSU student I actually appreciate the extra little bit of green space the setback adds to this very urban campus.

Actually this is exactly what you SHOULD be doing. Let the locals choose the specifics. We know what the festivals are, we know our local restaurants. But you may be surprised at what results come out from people sharing what they like personally, rather than following a list of specific, handpicked suggestions. Just my two cents.

Love the shot of the Port of Cleveland, with three ships at once! That Cleveland-Europe Express Liner Service idea is genius, it's great having a busy port again.

The sound of progress and industry!

The link still works for me, but they are calling it "Lite Mode" now. Plus, no angle view. but at least you can still see the satellite view without the horrible 3-D overlays.

You'll enjoy this site. Much easier than looking through directories: http://peoplemaps.esri.com/cleveland/

I think you meant E. 21st. E. 22nd was Hazard St.

You can easily raise kids in a dense, urban environment. People just want the suburban lifestyle because that's what they grew up with and don't consider alternatives when they have kids of their own. Plus, they think urban means downtown, and won't even consider all of the core urban neighborhoods with large spacious homes, sidewalks, and yards. Too many poor people, too many black people. This is changing, but not pervasive enough or fast enough to significantly slow the expansion of suburban sprawl.

It's not a big deal until black kids do it, and then it's "Oh noeeeeeees!"

Could be the Frankfort Hotel.

Despite the name, the Harlem Flophouse is a decently-rated and well-known B&!B (Bed & Not Breakfast) :laugh: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60763-d504803-Reviews-The_Harlem_Flophouse-New_York_City_New_York.html

That's exposed brick behind the plaster. This is the Harlem Flophouse, a nice little place to stay for a night with good (for NYC) prices: http://www.harlemflophouse.com/

I certainly did!

Last Set, Just some random shots around Midtown before we left for home. This trip was altogether too short!

Ferry ride to Williamsburg, Smorgasburg, NYPL, some randoms, and a long trek across the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges:

Midtown, Chinatown, Grand Central Station and Times Square at Midnight:

Spent the first night in Harlem:

Kicked off the trip with ride on the Lakeshore Limited:

Very nice! I was in NYC for the first time this past November, I should share some of my photos.

I drive down MLK every day, I'm pretty sure it has been up in some for for at least two years.

Thanks for the pics, I've honestly never seen that.

Are you seriously suggesting a bicycle lane on an interstate highway bridge, or am I just reading that wrong?
