Key tower looking like a flower bud emerging from the petals at the top of SHW from that vantage point.

Glad to see we got a shipping container @MayDay . Maybe we can have the next meetup there!

They cannot seriously be planning to call it that, can they?

If nothing else, that fire smell can be pervasive. I'm surprised they think it's worth saving. Looks like the doors are on the elevators too. Not sure if that's just the doors or the cabs as well.

I love it, save for the generic-sounding name. These Tribute Portfolio hotels by definition don't have a corporate brand first, so I get why they're doing it. Still, couldn't they come up with something a little more memorable? Perhaps the name Hulett is now available...

I agree the empty space is strange, but I doubt it would stay empty for long. Space is always at a premium on airport grounds. It could give them flexibility for reconstructing the concourses, or eventually turn into retail / food & beverage / lounge space. Perhaps even an onsite hotel, although I wonder about that behind security.

I like the look of the proposed new landside terminal, and getting that as a new build from the ground up feels like an upgrade from the most recent prior plan. And the phasing of it makes it feel a whole lot cleaner and understandable to a layperson. So I can’t help but wonder what’s driving such a radical deviation from that earlier plan. It almost seems too easy, like why didn’t they propose it this way before? Did they get feedback from the airlines that led the project in this direction, or was the cost of the whole thing insurmountable? Was the phasing proposed earlier too complex, resulting in higher cost? I’d love it if we had a news organization that had the capability to ask the tough questions here and do a deep dive into the project’s evolution to this proposal. I certainly hope they’re not giving up on the concourse rebuilds entirely, and instead just kicking that can down the road until more funds become available. Those concourses are just as tired and cramped as the front end, and what a letdown it would be to go from a shiny new terminal to dingy and antiquated gate concourses.

I'm not a subscriber, but for some reason I was able to read it this morning, and now I'm not. But as I remember, there's basically one main trail that will run alongside the river through the park, connecting to the towpath and lake link. That's the one that they're hoping to finish in 2027.

That https://www.cleveland.com/news/2025/05/check-out-the-transformation-already-happening-at-clevelands-irishtown-bend.html article made it seem like it's still going to be a long time before we're going to see anything like what's been rendered. 2027 for trail completion, maybe 2028 for the first phase of the park. The rest as yet undefined. I thought funding was all or almost all secured, so was surprised the timeline for full completion is undefined.

What genius dreamed up this "Furthest East Dome in the United States" business? Like, so what? People from New York are going to drive here for events because our stadium is domed and MetLife isn't? It's just silly.

That's got to be the most cringey restaurant name fad going. I almost automatically avoid a place with 'social' in the name. I'll be glad when it dies out.

This job does seem to be taking an awful long time. I wonder if that has something to do with it, or who knows what the planned move in date was at the outset.

Using MayDay's last picture above, see how the vertical strips that are outlined match up to the tower lighting design update photo shared by @willyboy on April 8? I think these will form the colored light crown. @MayDay I included your copyright watermark, so I hope this repost is OK to illustrate my point.

Does Forest City still exist as an entity? I thought they were absorbed into something else.
