Since we don't have a Gateway Development thread I'll just throw this pic of the small turbine/generator at Progressive Field in here...they light it up at night:) http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjames0408/6950608996/#

Here's a shot of the new lighting as well... http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjames0408/7096678161/#

I'll be there!!!

YESSSSS...this is what I have been preaching. We have so many gems already...that kind of styling would help pull downtown together!!!

I'd love to see the idea of 12th st extended across downtown.

Steelyard as an entity has already turned a profit...it's sister Legacy Village....not so much.

Exactly...all we are saying is that your opinions are a little off of reality. We don't sit here with rose colored glasses, but things aren't nearly as bad as they were. I've lived here for two years and have seen major change in just that time period. This city will look a lot better next census, and even with you're negative outlook, you can't deny that.

They are overpriced...it's no wonder.

Seriously...let's look at pre-annexation numbers for most of these cities. That will paint a new picture of a lot of these "growing" cities. Cleveland needs to do a lot of things, I agree, but so does all of the midwest.

Cleveland is stabilizing. The west side has always been fine...downtown, ohio city and tremont are growing around 70%...it's just the east side that's still losing population. The issue with all the midwestern cities is the same...young professionals are moving in not families. You see in the data that population is exploding in good neighborhoods but the household number and income are what are carrying that.

They were attaching the Prospect Ave side sign by the flag poles when I walked by earlier:)

This is just the second phase. Once they're successful, there is plenty of room for more phases/density and spillover to west bank.

I can't post what I actually call this place...a play on words of the name...but every time I walk by those stupid advertisements it makes me a little ill. Maybe Diamond Men's Club won't have to have so many vans downtown now that there's a similar place to walk to...:)

Third! I'm so thrilled to see parking lots disappearing!!!

This is exactly the direction I was going. Have you actually been in the area recently? The entire Hough area has a lot of new suburban style housing. There is a lot of vacant space for retail to be built...throw in some kind of museum and BAM! you have draw. Don't be short-sighted. This renovation is only around $5 million coming from various sources.

There is so much potential in that area. Hopefully this would be the start of a turnaround.

Haha...we need a few more residents for that. This is what I was talking about in another topic...forgot about this thread. They have been clearing this out for about a month and just put up the for lease banner a few days ago. Beautiful space!!!

We have those banners everywhere. IMO they are way overused. Once they are all over...people will be walking around the city to see them.

It is Strongsville...not exactly an exciting urban atmosphere anywhere in the burb.

Praise Jesus!! Skywalks are awful!!!

You's a trip!

Amazing as in location and fits me perfectly right now...we'll get to your level someday;)

Every time I look we have 4 votes + to their 1.

Have an amazing apartment that I won't be giving up until I buy:D

There's no excuse for us not to. If we just factor in NE Ohio, we smash them in population. This would be an embarrassing loss.
