    nope nope nope
  2. awwwwww Peabodys....so many memories!!!
  3. As I was walking down to the NorthCoast harbor last night, as I do most nights, I pass Williard Park and always wonder...Why does a major intersection on 9th and Lakeside have a never used patch of grass? Move the Free Stamp and it would be a fantastic spot for an apartment or condo tower. Fantastic views of the lake and downtown.
  4. Please tell me the "quality" difference in a bag of organic spinach between the two stores....or bananas, or a bag of frozen peas??? this is silliness. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most downtown residents do the bulk of their grocery shopping elsewhere and use Heinens as the "oh sh*t I forgot something" because the prices are crazy high.
  5. Or it feels like I live downtown and the prices at Downtown Heinens are significantly higher than at Steelyard Aldis. So if Heinens wants to capture more downtown grocery shoppers and prevent a lot of us from doing our main grocery shopping while were out and about, they can evaluate their price structure.
  6. I agree! Its definitely gotten busier on the sidewalks.......now if they want more business, stop charging me $4 for a bag of lettuce and $4.25 for half gallon of lactose free milk lol!!!
  7. After walking by it today, It look much better than what it used to look like. The composite panels they used have a slight texture, and look ok. Still is such a disappointment compared to the rest of the buildings.
  8. Its still a fabulous renovation!
  9. Its not vinyl siding....I believe it is a Fiber reinforced composite. They have used them on other parts of the exterior. The Athlon across the street used a lot of Fiberglass materials also. The thing I don't like is how thin they are.....Just makes it look cheap against the windows. I've been wrong many times before, so hopefully as more goes up, it looks better!
  10. That its very thin and shiny. And the fact that it is plastic.
  11. I just walked by it.........Ugh.....It looks so cheap and plastic up close.
  12. That's fantastic!!!
  13. I'm thinking this is good news for Downtown. Cleveland needs two convention centers like a hole in the head. Most events can move to Huntington Convention Center.
  14. I can't wait to see this one go up.......Its going to change the dynamic of that corner o much!!!

    But the good news is City Club Apartments will be in that picture in a few years. Plus I wold love to tear down that 2 story point building at Huron and Prospect and build a proper Point building!
  17. Wow....these are fantastic!!! what a trip down memory lane.....I was a student at CSU during most of this and remember walking around and watching this daily....Its when I fell in love with the city
  18. I love this pic!!! Thats my street and neighborhood!! I love turning onto Huron either in car or walking and going under the Playhouse arch with all the trees and people. That shot of the Lumen is a game changer!!
  19. ^^ yup, they tried to get one added to the plan, if memory serves, but there was no political will to push for it. More important to have those 6 lanes of traffic!!
  20. and a whole bunch of people live there
  21. How big do you think downtown is? there are probably 10K people live within a 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile of that intersection. maybe more. Plus have you ever heard of "running the bridges"?? People run that loop every day. people bike and run over Hope bridge from Ohio City and Tremont also. I won't even mention the 2 massive sports venues across the street.
  22. They are open and its really good!!
  23. It hasn't changed....same as the above pics.
  24. Connivence store was what he heard... i asked if it would be the one that is also on 14th and he wasn’t sure. None of this is official, just me being nosey
  25. I took a tour on Wednesday....They told me that there will be projections from the buildings across the street. But he was not sure when that would happen. Also said that the Tailor shop on 14th was going to move into one of the retail spots, and also mentioned a convenience store. The tour is pretty neat....the 5th floor patio is pretty cool and the workout area and meeting areas are first rate. Apartments are very nice!
