I really like this building and have been thinking for a couple years that it would be great for a conversion.

Such as not letting someone in a tank top in but allowing someone in a plain white tee with ketchup and mustard stains...ya...this place can go lol.

Now that makes more sense based on their typical location.

Looking at Granite City's website I noticed not one urban location. Everyone was either in a suburb or far out in a city. Seems strange they would change up their M.O., but not out of the question.

Agreed...these are just baby steps, but filling these quickly will make an easier sell for the larger properties. I'll take every additional resident downtown to get more of the day to day "conveniences". I would love another Constantino's style grocer on the eastern side of downtown also. The grocer in Reserve Square is alright...but not great.

Agreed...there's Prospect, E6, E12, Huron, Carnegie, there are really neat possible loft converts on Bolivar...none of that will be covered in anything we currently have if/when something happens.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was unable to find a general Gateway District thread. I feel that with E4th nearly full and spillover happening currently, we are going to hear of a lot more redevelopment projects in the coming years. Since according to http://www.clevelandgatewaydistrict.com/district-map/ Gateway encompasses Superior-Carnegie and Ontario to E14, this would clear up the issue of not knowing where to put the random developments (such as Potbelly's, Chipotle, etc). Yesterday, I noticed workers in the vacant space at Prospect and E8 (across from Winking Lizard and behind City Club). There are no signs or announcements, but this is the first I've ever seen even a door open at this location. Up to this point, there has only been the steel framing. Now there are hardhats. Possible sign of things to come??

That's great to hear! Let's hope moves like this continue. There are many homes that could use just a little TLC and be amazing homes.

YUM!!!

More color!!! Love it!

"Just"? Hell, that's awesome!! Haha...well I was excited, but people brought me down a notch ;)

This is the one everyone yelled at me for many pages up lol. It's just a rehab to restaurant/retail

How long ago did it look like that? I've been here just over two years and the changes I've seen are phenomenal.

If only it would have been started a decade ago!!

Ditto for the burgers (even reheated) and milkshakes.

Times Square is awful as nearly every New Yorker will attest to. I would much rather have this type of development!

I noticed that as well...only the last section is still covered in plastic.

Yep, right over in the Ohio Business and Economy area.

The trees will be nice when they're just a little fuller...I like that they added them.

I still haven't seen traffic like I'm used to seeing in every major downtown. This is what downtown should be in a healthy city.

The only time traffic is bad is 4 hours a day...I think we can deal!!!

Can't wait!

Finally!!!!!!!

Aww...I know that area very well....went to Flagler College in St A

LOL
