AS you may know by now, this is a dead deal. The EPA will NOT fund this project. The course will remain open with the current layout intact. Hooray for Pete Dye and all local golfers.

What does this mean for the Myfield Lofts? Is that project dead?

Ate at Etna Friday. It's the old Valerio's space in little Italy. Excellent.

By the way, ground breaking is today on the lab bldg.

This is wrong in so many ways! Why would you bulldoze a classic course which must employ at least 50 people. I would bet that there is a cheaper way to keep fertilizer out of the Chagrin River. Stuff like this makes my head spin.

There is a construction cam available at okctalk. Metro page.

Not too surprised about La Boca....it just wasn't that good. Ate at L'albatross last night. Excellent!!! Service was outstanding, food is great and they make a good drink.

Sorry no pictures, but the Admin. Bldg. has two floors of steel above ground and the garage appears to be nearing completion. Boomer Sooner!

Any update on the upcoming annoncement? New hints? Anything??

Was in the area on Friday. The Admin building and parking garage are very much underway.

Facing 74th.

The next set of townhomes has started. Just some dirt scraped and stakes set, but it's at least underway.

While on vacation, I saw a blurb in USA Today stating that the Clinic announced a $25 mill. lab that could employ up to 2,000 people. There was no mention of the location, but I assume it's MC or Mid-Town. Anyone have any info on this?

PD reports that Ohio Preservation Office has recommended that Ameritrust Tower should receive federal tax credits. Article said that Doug Price was very encouraged and that he hopes to proceed early next year if the credit crisis eases.

I've been away, so sorry if this has been discussed....but Jacobs hinted that an out of town tenant was possible. Does anyone know if this is in the works and if so is it way out of town or a suburban co. moving in?

Why do I always think of Prof. Harold Hill, when I listen to Stark?

I noticed, but it looked like maybe only the western end of the building was going to be demolished. The eastern half of the building looked like it was occupied.

Also, don't forget how poorly run Ponte Vechio was initially. Let's give them some time, but not a free pass.

Has anyone here eaten at Il Bacio?

Oops, sorry about that partial post. 1) Gateway...the Indians would not be in Cleveland and Lebron would be in Richfield. 2) Stonebridge 3) University Circle expansions. I think that Euc Corridor and Flats East Bank could potentially be greater impact than all of the rest.

OK. Thanks....it just seemed odd, there was no sign posted.

I went to Momocho last night and it never opened!!!! I called, but no answer. Does anyone know if something is going on there? thanks

Also, they talk about 'an iconic' residential building at the mouth of the river....I don't see that in the drawings available. Obviously these are just massings and shouldn't be judged yet.

I, for one, am happy that the county is getting out of this. As noted over and over in this forum, this was a botched effort from day one. Here's to a fresh start with a renovated tower!
