WhatUp

In case anyone was wondering, there has been no movement at the Library Lofts site as of the evening on 8/3. Nobody even mowed the weeds 🙄

Shame on me for ignoring the other crane that has been just out of frame up the hill 😑 pic from about 30 minutes ago.

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System sees increase in construction materials over 2020 tonnage From the article: "Dave Gutheil, Chief Commercial Officer, Port of Cleveland. “Our general cargo tonnage, which included a mix of containerized cargo, yachts, imported steel, and heavy machinery, grew by nearly 55% compared to our June 2020 numbers, and has increased by nearly 60% YTD compared to 2020. "

There has been a rather large crew working in the old Cleveland Playhouse building. I just assumed the roof let go in the past storms, but turns out to be:

Working on framing for the second floor today.

So I don't know who made or owns the models, but what is the other structure that is the same color as the tower and future expansion in the background?

The Cleveland Foundation foundation😄 Sorry, I had to. Thanks for the legwork and the pictures @NorthShore647!

For those not familiar with Hillcrest Hospital: The red arrow is sitting on the roof of the Emergency Department The red arrow points at the second floor of the West Tower where the current Hillcrest Cancer Center is located. The picture in the above post shows the extension to be off the South wall of the West Tower behind the Emergency Dept. Where the gold star is.

After an 11 year drought on this thread: Breaking Ground on a Transformative Cancer Care Experience Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital constructing a 10,600 square ft. Lozick Cancer Pavilion.

Total shot in the dark here, but could this project be stalling for a TMUD at this point?

While I do agree that this design and layout has plenty of room for improvement, please also keep in mind that this is a public building paid for with taxpayer 💰, and there is an obligation to deliver a sensible product that is function over form as well as security over appearance. I do appreciate all the trees in the renders, but yea, this design is not cohesive at all.

Has there been any recent news on this? The Center for Cleveland has a mention on their page, but that's all I can find: " Oct 2020: In 2019, The London Stock Exchange announced Cleveland will be the Americas Headquarters of its Elite program. LSE has postponed the opening of its Cleveland Office to 2021 as a result of delays from Covid-19. The Elite program helps develop small and medium-sized businesses." I have no business insight, but this appeared to come out of nowhere to me back in 2019, and that was exciting! If this had anything to do with CCF London just having the name Cleveland in it, I hope this won't be the last overseas entity that would have otherwise overlooked the 21st largest economy in the U.S. and plant it's headquarters in the area.

The Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association keeps a page mostly up to date about news on the Justice Center project. This may have been mentioned many pages back, so maybe reminding people. Also, 90.3FM story from 6/10/21: New Cuyahoga County Jail Moves Ahead, Slowly, With Hiring Of Design Firm In case anyone missed it.

Sorry for the bad stoplight pic, but proof that Artisan has gone vertical! View looking SE at intersection of E105. and Chester.

'Cinema City' movie studio being planned for Cleveland's east side by Los Angeles filmmaker now back home This sounds fun, "near East 79th Street, north of St. Clair Avenue ." From the article: " “Cinema City” – a campus anchored by four sound stages. Built in phases, the campus would also include housing, retail and space for e-sports and artists." "Cinema City envisions a 150,000 square-foot studio that will hold four soundstages. Williams’ team believes Cinema City could generate 1,000 good-paying jobs in the first five years."

The only question I have that I haven't heard an answer for in this new lakefront proposal, is where the cruise ships will dock when they eventually return. Unless I zoned out and missed it in that hour long video? It appears the newly remodeled C&I facility isn't in these new plans, so I wonder where it is planning to be relocated to. There is also no mention of reconstructing one of the old Huletts like we heard about before COVID, but there are plenty of parks one can be placed in.

I don't know what thread this kinda belongs to, but directing Ohio's state liquor tax revenue towards identifying and remediating brownfield sites sounds like a good use. And if the federal government might match some of the investment? Greater Ohio Policy Center - INVESTING IN BROWNFIELDS "On February 23, House Bill 143 and Senate Bill 84 were introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate" so, mildly old news, but lots of opportunity. Cleveland News 5 - Proposed bills aim to use excess liquor revenue to fund cleanup of contaminated properties statewide

This view will look very different in 4 years for at least 3 reasons! Who's excited! 🙋‍♂️

SCENE 26 Projects That Will, Or Could, Drastically Change Cleveland From May 1st, interesting list.

From today

You mention Tiddlewinks, but I always thought the newer rendition of Nucleus closer resembled Connect 4. 🤪 On a more serious note, I am just as excited about the potential addition and reactivation of the Herold building. In one of @KJP's article on the subject, it lists the potential size of the building at 60,000 square feet, which would be a great size for one of these companies shifting around the area who wants their name on a building. 🤔
