  1. The Scranton Fortress... If the SHW HQ doesn't end up being a glassy, avant-garde, 21st century tower, I think a well-executed(!) postmodern build could work nicely as well—three Midwest peer cities (DET, PIT, MKE) all feature something along those lines prominently in their skylines...
  2. WOOOOOOO!!!!! IT'S SHOWWWWTIIIME!!!!! WOOOO!!

    Considering everything, the master plan is undoubtedly going to keep KCLE where it is for the foreseeable mid-term future, which won't help a push to build a brand new regional airport after a ~$1,000,000,000 complete or partial overhaul of the terminals/concourses and everything...

    Quality W tonight. Collin dropped 31pts for a career high at Madison Square Garden. We are now tied for 7th seed (playoff standings) and Garland had another strong outing (12/6ast), Sexton looks much improved on the defensive side. We forced a LOT of tovs, and Nance Jr came up with 3 stls. JC also contributed well and made some buckets when we went cold. First time since 2010 the Cavs have won back-to-back games in which we’ve led them wire to wire! Not to mention they were both ROAD wins.
  5. 159ft is a long-@#% kick (through 18ft wide uprights). Couple that with the pressure of a game on the line and that was a very missable attempt.
  6. https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2019/nov/10/miamis-dion-waiters-has-panic-attack-after-eating-weed-gummies-reports-say 10-game suspension here after a strange incident... and https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/28043602/celtics-gordon-hayward-breaks-left-hand-spurs%3fplatform=amp plus Curry may be out the entire season and the Cavs have a better record than GSW...what a crazy start to the season...
  7. Boomer tensions have been on the rise lately across the internet
  8. I’ve been on no more than 50 flights in my life and 2 of those ended with go-arounds (one CLE-SFO on UA, one at CLE on a DL flight from LGA). I really like the idea of a billion-dollar terminal to compete with nearby airports such as PIT, but it may not be necessary to demolish everything. Concourse D should be retained, even if it ends up becoming a museum or something other than a terminal...
  9. I predict a win (narrow margin of victory).
  10. @KJP Do you have the (1980s?) vision for the current Bedrock site? @Geowizical's unofficial massing for the site is reminiscent of that by comparison.

    That game was a fluke. Our regular season win over Indiana was not.
  12. You're referring to Mouse Hunt, surely?
  13. I hope D can be retained, although I'm not sure how it will should even fit into the plan--A/B, the FIS, and the main terminal must go though. Pittsburgh just got a brand new $1 billion terminal so something similar does sound appealing, but CLE is pretty landlocked and I'm sure the financial picture varies between us and Pittsburgh.

    Dhaka, Guangzhou, & Seoul
  15. What the county doesn't know is that SHW has one hell of a steel bladder
  16. If a potential 40-story tower averaged 15ft per floor (including a crown?), I believe similar 60-story building on the PS lot could easily top 900ft. For perspective, Key is 57 stories...?
  17. Mfw finding out that the SHW CEO just bought(/built) a mansion in Cleveland.
  18. At first glance this thing looks like a modern miniature Duck Island townhome...I don't even know what to think about it. Does it merely give the impression of being a rusty old piece of metal or is it actually an old piece of junk?
  19. Wikipedia may not be the greatest online resource out there, but it's certainly the most extensive (and more importantly, it's the best place to find airline/route tables for airports!). To keep on topic: Weston Superblock was planned to be 3 million square feet. We're looking at just over half that amount in total, PLUS the potential tower on the Jacob's lot (assuming that's the footprint they go with). If it comes down to that, would you favor a supertall on PS and low/mid-rise urban campus on the superblock, or 400-500ft tower on PS connected to 2-3 Beacon-sized towers on the superblock (assuming all street-level desires are fulfilled).
  20. Examples like PPG Place, One Detroit, & our very own US Bank Centre in PHS come to mind.
  21. That's been there for a while, was a supposed component of the Weston superblock.
  22. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Cleveland#Tallest_under_construction_or_proposed 95 would be a mind-shattering number of stories.
  23. Almost seems like tampering... ?
  24. ...so you're telling me I don't have hundreds of photos and videos of Browns, Indians, and Cavs sports charters on Delta, United, Hawaiian, Virgin Atlantic, etc. Only short/med haul can land at Burke usually (aside from bizjets). Even the Saudi Royal Family uses Hopkins for CLEclinic visits. From today...
