And if completed as is, will be the tallest all residential tower in Ohio, right?.

Aren't Government cars typically Ford or Chevy? How many of the parts are actually made in America?

I sure hope its at least waterfront! You can't throw a rock in the lake, but you can see it and hit it with a bottle rocket. Quiet so far, except for maybe last night. My brother has lived up there for years, couldn't pass up the deal offered from a friend of his. We're essentially neighbors. We go to that Dave's for quick things frequently.

Ouch, Portland people and writer... http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2016/06/is_cleveland_the_new_portland.html Yea, I emailed her.

$30,000 a year for a family of four?!??!?!?!? And is Boutros going to be moving to the neighborhood as well? Hmmmm.

It will be a constantino's. Oh that's right....we heard about that so long ago, I'm sure most of us forgot! Thanks for the reminder.

Looks great!!

Haven't the plans been out on this since the beginning? I thought they've altered slightly but the basic idea was always that there would be a taller building.

Wow....that's taking it back!!!

Hmmm....so he's going from 80k SF to 450-500k? Wonder if that will reduce the 1000-1250 apartments? Only five months til the end of the year :/

It's amazing to me how people are so outraged for the one or two times a year they use RTA for a huge event. This may be a good time for a huge campaign for better transit funding since it's fresh in people's minds.

"Hough Heritage will add low-cost rentals to the Upper Chester neighborhood, where the Finch Group just opened a 177-unit apartment complex called Innova." http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/06/upper_chester_apartments_among.html

So they're only missing one parcel now it seems and then they will control nearly all of the parcels for the lots from Superior to St Clair and W6 to W3. Have Weston and Jacob's ever worked together? Why would Jacobs hold out on one parcel when they're already holding the other PS lot hostage?

I didn't realize the town homes behind Auburn Ave and W 11 were so far along.

I just learned about it a couple years ago. I'm getting tired of losing these old-school diner/deli joints. First PJ's Luncheonette, then Huron Square Deli and now Sammy's. That leaves only one downtown, right? Addy's -- unless you count PJ's revived as Jack Flaps. I have yet to step foot into Jack Flaps. It's quite good! They're all retiring though, right? It's not that business is bad.

Really? I tried it twice and couldn't get into it. Too many other better places. I did like their decor and the bar that opened out to the patio. It's a pretty large space, wonder what they will replace it with.

I'll miss that sign though :(

You guys are overreacting. It's not like they want to erect some huge, tacky pair of 5,000 pound dice at the intersection! LOL you're right...the walkway is amazing and the signage is the best it can be lol. To me, it just doesn't look classy at all. I will say, the red lighting strip may be cool.

I mean, at least they're just continuing to ruin that corner lol.

At least from 2000-2010, you can see population changes visually here at the link below. It will be interesting to see the center city areas after the major re-urbanization movement of this decade. http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map

Ah yes, thanks for the heads up on Zone. Appears they're just south of the main building on Detroit, so I'd never seen them. I had tried Gordon Park a couple summers back, but those courts had sadly been torn out/left to rot. Point remains: too bad we lost our public option in the downtown vicinity, though I understand the short-term $ considerations from CSU. I'm hoping they add some courts to Canal Basin area.

From what it seems like, they own the whole block.

Can't wait to check this place out!! First look: East End restaurant brings new life to historic Flats (photos) "East End Restaurant and Bar is located at the other end of Old River Road amid a row of buildings that date back to another time – way, way, way before the Flats was a party zone. "Look at these bricks and this wood, just look at this building," says executive chef Ben Dorsha, as he surveys the bar and dining area of East End. "What would you call this... like 'old school'?" Ancient school might be more accurate. East End, you see, is located in the historically-significant Frank Morrison & Son building, 1330 Old River Road." http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/05/first_look_east_end_restaurant.html#incart_river_home

The guy with the population data website...I forget the username. It was interesting, but still difficult to compare apples to apples with Cleveland and Cinci only being able to go three ways vs four.

Columbus has annexed less than 20 square miles in the last 16 years. About 210 square miles and 711,000 in 2000 to about 217-18 square miles and 850,000 in 2015 -adding 15 or so square miles(much of it in the extreme south of the city and not developable land)while adding nearly 140,000 people. The rapid annexation talk was played out about 20 years ago. And Cbus is about to pass Indy(and may have by now)-only 3,000 people behind in the latest estimates-while Cbus has 225 square miles and Indy has 365 square miles. That population surge from 787,000 to 850,000 happened with virtually no new annexation since 2010 It is played out, but it doesn't change the fact that they did. They have made great strides in urbanization in the last few years, but having 225 square miles in your city limits, quite a bit of which is suburban style, makes it way easier to hide population loss at the neighborhood level. If you bring it down to the less than 80 square miles that both Cleveland and Cinci have, you'll see a much closer population. It will still have grown fast in the last five plus years with urbanization, but it would not be nearing 900,000 people.
