Cleveland: Flats Developments (Non-Stonebridge or FEB)
I’m not sure “gravity place” is going to work so well. It’ll quickly be called collision corner. Perhaps someone can open an indoor trampoline center on the corner and call it gravity place showing off the old map.

Cleveland: General Business & Economic News
That will also mean that the flats industrial railroad should be going kaput as its pretty much their only customer. Not sure their 4 miles of right of ways has any significance to anyone. Perhaps a new hike and bike trail from the flats to the near west side?

Its called a tsunami. The water flows out. In this case people are getting lenient terms or forgiving a month or two of rent. When the wave hits you’ll have plenty of work.

Ohio Intercity Rail (3C+D Line, etc)
Ohio needs a jumpstart on high speed rail to actually start pursuing it. Akin to the Erie canal system was stretched to Buffalo. Then Ohio jumped on board with gusto. With a high speed rail system pushing through Ohio from NYC to Chicago, that would be the jumpstart.

Canal Basin Park and Lake Link Trail
So that is the end of the trail. Are they building a tall beacon there? Why a core sample?

Cleveland: Flats Developments (Non-Stonebridge or FEB)
Hopefully it can stay a functioning mill. I guess there are no ships that drop off grain then if it is coming in via rail. I thought there were ships that drop off grain in Buffalo at the Cheerios plant south of the harbor. Interesting how that dominates the smell of downtown Buffalo in the mornings.

Cleveland: Flats Developments (Non-Stonebridge or FEB)
Normally companies are going to ORDC to get a loan or grant to do some kind of improvement or help with a ROW. What would they be asking for here? Forcing the rail company to honor their deal?

Ohio Census / Population Trends & Lists
I was referring to Summit county and Stark county meeting the 25% as Akron is looking to make it an Akron-Canton metroplex if you read a bit higher in the thread.

Cleveland: Downtown: Sherwin-Williams Headquarters
This sounds ideal to me. I don’t see a need for the tower to have any of the attributes of the superblock structure. Also i like that they aren’t limiting the tower to a certain height. Anything above 500ft sounds great.

Ohio Census / Population Trends & Lists
In this regard i would say that Summit and Stark are interlinked. I would think if Stark is combined that the rest of Wayne county, which has Wooster, should be as well. Currently Doylestown and Rittman are in Amats MPO. But there is a lot of traffic going back and forth from Akron to Wooster.
-
Ohio Census / Population Trends & Lists
Well apparently they technically meet the requirements of the 25% commute? There certainly is a lot of traffic that goes between the two cities throughout the day on I-77.

Ohio Census / Population Trends & Lists
So if Akron did the metroplex combination with Canton it would move the Summit/Stark area to 50th behind Buffalo in the MSA. Not such a bad outcome.

Ohio Census / Population Trends & Lists
I’m not sure the total benefit to Akron/Summit county in this arrangement. Amats would be folded into Noaca. So the pie is bigger. Decisions will be made based on the nice east side vs west side rift of how to spend the additional money. Will the focus on infrastructure be Northern Summit county to make sure the lanes getting to Cuyahoga are plentiful vs spending money on Summit county Infrastructure in general? AMATs philosophy for the past 12-15 years has been to fix first or even shrink infrastructure we have instead of expand. Would that change at Noaca? How much increased money by the feds or state would there be in doing this? 0% 3% 5% 10%? If its closer to 8-10% it probably be worth doing. Realistically it will probably be a negligible increase. I don’t that there is a benefit to giving up better local control for having Cleveland look swoll in a top 20 chart.

Ohio Music
I thought i’d add Beyonderers as a phenomenal Ohio band. They recently won a contest in Akron as best band in Devil Strip monthly. I’ve seen them perform maybe a dozen times. Its a surf/space rock trio.

^Perhaps they got the primary tenants involved in the building’s architectural design. If the law firm is taking up the bulk of the building I would imagine they would have a bit more say in what it will look like. They probably pushed away from the jenga tower feel and likely wanted a more conservative looking building.

US Economy: News & Discussion
It sounds like the issue is immediate storage for the May contracts. We were hearing about the oil sands “practically” giving oil away last month. Now they are giving oil away and paying for May as there is no storage available to take on the oil. All i can think of is rail cars coming in to take it away for free. Certainly there is a rail company that sees $$ even if CDN$ to take free oil by the trainload.

So they weren’t paying people to take their gas?

Ok, when do you suspect the bridge will be in place?

^Well then, would it have been difficult to have a slightly narrower path go around the poles? Was there not enough land to use?

Ohio Rail History & Preservation Thread
I can see why you might think it is south of Peninsula as there is a crossing of the Cuyahoga there at the former Par 3 Brandywine golf course over to Deep Lock Quarry which oddly is a Summit Metropark completely surrounded by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Boston Mills is north of Peninsula. Everett and deep lock quarry are south of Peninsula. https://www.summitmetroparks.org/MetroParks/media/pdfs/maps/MAP-Deep-Lock-Quarry-WEB.pdf

Ohio Rail History & Preservation Thread
^^That pic it says is between Boston and Peninsula. I believe the photographer. Just north of Peninsula is a bridge crossing the Cuyahoga at about that height and that gentle of a curve. Still a great picture. Will have to take a pic next time I’m going by there. For reference, this is by the culvert tunnel on the towpath that goes under the railroad that people like to scream in on their bikes.

Personal Finance / Investing Thread
Well the company has such little cash on hand left to last the year, I knew it had to do something. If your company is getting pumped on the market that is usually a good time to water down the stock. I’m more surprised they didn’t go with a smaller amount of shares at a higher price. But apparently they needed to get to $50 million. i felt mid-April would be their peak hype possibility for this stock since this would be the time the most people would be on ventilators. There should’ve been the most pressure for treatment like this to start taking place by now. Alas, people are just statistics now for trump. Hard to say where this goes now. Since it can’t be implemented in the next 2-3 months its missing its maximum potential.

^That routing takes away about 10-20 on street parking spaces for Sokolowskis. I thought they may have routed the path on the other side of the telephone poles.

Parma: Development and News
I’ve not heard about this nor do i have a dog in the fight. I finally visited the West Creek metropark to mtn bike the other week. Crazy packed. I notice that is next to the Parmadale property. I can see this being a merger of two high schools at that location. That seems doable and worthwhile and just revamp Valley Forge.
