I attended a meeting with the architect / historic preservationist and they are planning to do balconies in the interior concourses with mod-looking privacy screens. From what I understand, the residential incubators are meant to attract entrepreneurs/work from home types.

Honestly...it's to go to the Japanese grocery and bakery. There's really little to none Japanese population here in Cleveland. I think the Japanese and Korean food is better in Columbus too. One of my best friends lives there, so that's another good reason!

Thanks! I've hovering for a little while and figured it was a good time to jump in with my first post. Reading urbanohio = one of the first things I do when I get to my computer...

You could call the Food Hall a food court of sorts... more artisan and local. Food halls are cropping up in NY, based on hawker centers in Singapore (though I wish they were based on more of the ethnic, street food style centers!). Here's an example: urbanspacenyc.com urbanspacevanderbilt.com I just went to UrbanSpace Vanderbilt last weekend (located near Grand Central Station). UrbanSpace will be running Anthony Bourdain's food hall in NY. I hope it works out at Van Aken.
