Tbh, the city of Cleveland's laundry list of things to take care of is long enough as is, with turning around a 70 year population decline and decreasing the poverty rate being top billing. If the Browns don't want to take our offer they can go to Brook Park and have a suburban stadium like a lot of other NFL cities. Let's be real, $1 Billion for renovations is outrageous already with the struggles Cleveland continues to face let alone $2 Billion for a stadium that won't be used much. Also, if the Browns moved to Brook Park and landed a Super Bowl (which from what I understand is a money pit), over the entire week, people are still going to stay downtown and explore the city because no suburb has the capacity to hold as many visitors as the Super Bowl brings like Cleveland does. The main thing you would "lose" is the 10 days of 60,000 downtown visitors, but that's where losing the Browns can be beneficial. Since you don't have that crutch to rely on to maintain Downtown visiting you are forced to diversify your Downtown offerings to make up for it. You can argue that Cleveland's peak Downtown renaissance period occurred when the Browns weren't here. I would love to maintain a team in Cleveland (I prefer a non-lakefront site) but I'm not breaking the bank for something that is a luxury for the city and not a necessity.

So looking at the history, it was designed to be a supplemental airfield for Hopkins Airport which now isn't necessary. The usage of the airport continues to decline and honestly it hinders plans for anything that is built on North Coast Harbor due to flight paths. I honestly struggle to see why we need this airport, it isn't like we live in a large metropolis like Chicago where the airports are spread extremely far apart or the big airport is at capacity.

I mean if the Browns go to Brook Park that's around $500 Million we wouldn't have to commit to one project, that should cover it.

The portion of the repaved street is about a city block, with work being done on about 5 different areas underground. Your explanation makes a lot of sense though.

Can someone explain why they always seem to fully repave a street BEFORE they tear it back up to do utility work? They repaved the rough portion of 105th street by University Circle FINALLY just to tear up portions of the street for utility work of some sort.

They couldn't wait a few more days??

Never have seen a side profile of this train before, looks great.

Why do the Developers with the worst track record of action get the Premier tenants to sign on. Landing the W Hotel and Apartments was such a major get, unfortunately they signed on to the wrong developer.

I always thought this was St.Clair - Superior

lockquote widget I knew we had a city view that blocked 200 Public square like this but I couldn't remember it. I found it though

Any update on the Beachwood Mall plans that were briefly announced by Brookfield?

How much room is in the Oswald tower in the Flats?

We had it with DP Dough on Euclid but they randomly "temporarily closed".

She does NOT look impressed lol.

Filter is actually pretty popular.

Sterns would be perfect for a mini "Midway" style project, take away a lane from each direction and turn it into a protected bike lane.

Picture gives such a big city feel.

TBH I think rehabbing these types of buildings throughout the city in this manner would be a FANTASTIC option to create a large inventory of truly affordable apartments.

"A Community that thrives with...Vibrant shops, cozy cafes, and delicious eateries." You know what can provide that? A well designed 52 Unit affordable apartment with new residents that can frequent those shops.

Stinks because Glenville gains Density literally across the street and loses it right back.

Sounds like a rough deal for Jacksonville to me, but I'm no expert. https://www.news4jax.com/sports/2024/05/14/city-jaguars-agree-to-split-12-billion-cost-on-stadium-of-the-future-invest-more-in-downtown-jacksonville/

DC is really a unique case though because they are esentially forced to build this way due to the rules in place causing the heigh restrictions. That being said, I love how DC is laid out and how dense it is at every turn. It really is one of my favorite cities.

The East & West signage don't line up with each other correctly.

Imagine if CCF didn't build on 105th and Chester, it would be even more impactful imo.

The color choice for the building/building materials are so ugly. This isn't even about wanting a highrise vs not wanting one. If they just chose a traditional brick vs this would make this look 10x better.
