And on the flip side just went to Cheesecake Factory Legacy Village for carryout - right across from the likely shuttered Brio - and there were probably 20 cars waiting for food - and was told they were #1 current Cheesecake (out of around 250) in eastern US and #3 in country. Surprisingly busy.

It's been published that key restaurant (Cheesecake) and retail chains (H&M) are telling landlords they aren't paying rent due to the virus shutdown. Probably just a smart business move to strengthen for more time offline, even if unseemly or ultimatley unnecessary.

All on-site passenger parking now free at CLE for time being they announced. Crazy

And just like that... Jekyll's in Chagrin Falls to Close and Reopen This Summer as Cedar Creek Grill-Style Eatery Douglas Trattner Mar 9, 2020 20:58 PM https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2020/03/09/jekylls-in-chagrin-falls-to-close-and-reopen-this-summer-as-cedar-creek-grill-style-eatery?media=AMP+HTML&__twitter_impression=true

Also interesting... since Lindeys is owned by the founders of Bravo - the 15 year old Bravo at Eton is dark in recent days with a plain door sign saying "As of 3/7 this facility is temporarily closed". Odd wording - and no mention of issues,, remodeling, closure, corona, etc... Still on corp website...

Interesting... Lindey's (not sure if the fine dining version or "lake house") was going to previously go in the former Raintree/Grove Hill space, even going before the planning commissison/arch board for approval about year ago.

Columbus gets 2nd airline and 3rd daily route this Summer non-stop to Seattle - while CLE continues with limited, seasonal service? I went to SEA last week from CLE for one of my 4 or 5 annual visits (for last 20 years....) - and each direction took 8-10 hours with connection. This just isn't ok for CLE. What will it take for CLE to get year-round service to Seattle on Delta or Alaska? Delta adds 2 Seattle routes, including to American’s Dallas/Fort Worth hub ThePointsGuy.com Edward Russell Yesterday "Atlanta-based Delta will add flights between Seattle (SEA) and both Columbus, Ohio (CMH) and Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) on June 8, according to Cirium schedules. Both routes will be flown with Airbus A220-100 jets." https://thepointsguy-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/thepointsguy.com/news/delta-adds-seattle-routes-dallas-fort-worth/amp/?amp_js_v=a3&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQCKAE%3D#aoh=15830913931737&amp_ct=1583091406200&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fthepointsguy.com%2Fnews%2Fdelta-adds-seattle-routes-dallas-fort-worth%2F

Too bad. Great idea..... on the main drag in Pittsburgh where it started. This was the wrong end of W 25th, unfortunately. Cleveland way behind in the food hall game others cities are well into..

New Crocker Park 2/20 brochure on their website shows the area's first (that we know of) Amazon store - one of their "4 -star" locations (all products 4 star rating or higher...). Wouldn't be surprised to see an Amazon Books store (their other non-food store concept) end up on east side.

Nope - Kona originally going where Goma was going - where construction walls remain - on main park area - right next to the poorly executed/side-entranced/party room in front = dead to the street RED is...

This is one of the 450 stores they are closing, nationwide.

OK. Beachwood... Assuming H&M Home is located within the new, larger H&M store, which all signs point to, it would seem the front of mall H&M location (from which H&M was probably coaxed with a great deal, to a less visible space) + old Maggiano's space almost have to be earmarked for something especially based on the leaked email upthread... Maggiano's is approx 17,000 sf on two floors and the current H&M is probably the better part of that same size = 30,000+ combined sf. So, is the mall blowing out the front to, say, build a streetscape, but hasn't announced it yet? Is a Dave&Busters or similar moving in? Is a RH/RestorationHardware 35,000 sf mansion being added to the front - similar to the one in past renderings for the Richmond side? What's up???? This like at another Brookfield property? https://www.northbrookcourt.com/en/visit/redevelopment.html

After years of 60-70 avg yearly United flights, l - have had to shift to a mix of airlines in last year or two as United has dropped Milwaukee and Boston flights, among others - dropping to 30 flights and the lowly "Silver" level on United last year = pretty much time to be a free agent. This year alone I have flown on 4 different airlines from CLE and probably a 5th and 6th soon. I miss the one-airline mileage accumulation, easy-to-change flights, and more legroom seats, but getting over it quickly - especially when all travelers are equal, as on Southwest.. Heck, not taking unnecessary flights or circuitous routes to simply make or keep a certain level of frequent flyer status alone is freeing. I now know I hate you United and will choose to avoid you.. (more so after I dump my remaining few hundred thousand miles on a blowout trip, though...)

Cleveland is only #52 in actual "city" population - whereas the CLE/Akron/Canton market it serves is still a top 20 CMSA in population... There should be better air service here, agreed.

DiGeronimo/Brecksville are the villains here and should be treated as such.

Shocked but not surprised about Greenhouse. Unfortunate - but recall there there was some extended family drama/financial fun going on that involved lawyers and lawsuits - that his wife wrote about a few years back on her blog. That easily could have caught up with them. Love Sawyer, but he's also been negative about CLE vs, say, Columbus, so he lost me a bit there - but must say his (sort of) Sawyer's in Shaker Heights is darned good food, though. And he's been a great food celebrity ambassador for city Also, hate seeing two prime E4th spots vacant though. Ouch

True Religion also appears to have closed in Beachwood. Ouch.

My simple math says that about 2%-3% of the US population lives in areas within about 2 hours drive of CLE = 2% of United cards in that area would seem about right.

My company's CEO and IT director live near Columbus but fly out of Cleveland weekly due to the better and cheaper flight options o the nationwide destinations we go to regularly. Unfortunately next week I am being asked to go to Columbus to fly nonstop to Seattle because of course Columbus has that and Cleveland doesn't. Not OK.

In nearly the same mile (600K+), Elite, free tix, etc... circumstance as you... Until miles used or status dropped I'm stuck

And also closed: Hanna Andersson and soon-to-close Papyrus. However, many of the above are either large chain-wide store closures or relocations - so that's part of the story. I absolutely believe a Dave & Busters or similar could be a part of the near term Beachwood Place future as the leaked info seems to indicate tenants taking large front spaces. Also, the leaked email, the recent Beachwood planning discussion, the already banned Rich nation Richmond-facing park and walkway and other Brookfield re-developments (see: Northbrook Court in nice northern Chicago suburbs as a model... outdoor shopping, residential, etc... ) make it clear there is external mall/lot development coming at Beachwoos Place and that Brookfield has a plan even if their silence is worrisome.

Grest info.... but the former "Maggie" space being filled - they mean "Maggiano's" or am I forgetting a store named "Maggie"???

One more coming blow to Beachwood Place: the Papyrus card/gift store is closing all nationwide stores - so the upper level will soon have another vacancy.. Also, the Hanna Andersson kids clothing store recently closed - though appears the Crocker Park location staying open... another not-good sign...

I'm from Indiana. My 4 siblings and most of their kids live in Carmel/adjacent - which I once thought I'd like - but don't. They live their lives within an area about 3 miles this way and that way - rarely venturing outside - because everything they need they feel is in that perfect little Carmel strip mall box. They are adding much retail but Indy is the king of bad/abandoned strip malls.

In Indianapolis, Nordstrom moved from a failing downtown mail to the suburbs maybe 10 years ago - so stores have moved in recent years in Midwest just the opposite way. Indy's suburbs booming in a way CLE wouldn't understand. I think Beachwood Place just going through a rough retail time when many chains closing some or all stores + a few perhaps underperforming stores specific to this mall (as has every mall) - but just hitting all at once = perception isn't a good one. I'd think the anchors are OK (Nord more than Saks) but would think they'd have concerns and demand some action by mall owners. I could see Saks closing in the market if things remained bad. I could see Nord relocating... though Pinecrest is only east side current shopping where it would fit. Note: Saks already cut stor size by 5K-10K SF when it closed the in-mall sections mayne 5-7 years ago. Also, Nordstrom Beachwood is big by current new Nord store standards.... 3 floors and around 210K SF if I recall when current Nord prototype is 2 floors and 140K SF (Cbus, PIT, Indy) I could see Crocker being a second store but not the only store if Nordstrom ever moved.
