Mods, please feel free to move this somewhere more appropriate, but I don't think I've seen mention of this elsewhere... Ferrari showroom and office tower planned for downtown near Public Square By Mark Naymik, Northeast Ohio Media Group Email the author | Follow on Twitter on July 14, 2014 at 7:05 PM, updated July 14, 2014 at 7:15 PM The Collection Auto Group is planning to open an all-glass, two-story Ferrari showroom and service center on Ontario Street near Public Square. The Ferrari dealership is part of a 20-story office and condominium project planned for the sliver of land next to Horseshoe Casino Cleveland parking garage, just across the street from Quicken Loans Arena, according to a promotional video about the project, which was mistakenly posted online. The video was removed after the Northeast Ohio Media Group inquired about the project's details. (You can see screen shots of the building above that were taken from the video before it was removed.) http://www.cleveland.com/naymik/index.ssf/2014/07/ferrari_showroom_and_office_to.html#incart_river_default

^Great picture

^ Well, you just made me Google "ersatz", so I learned a new word today...Thanks! ;)

^ 100% agree! We don't need a colossus, but we absolutely need compelling, engaging design. Especially at this location. Been waiting for a long time to see what's coming for this spot...glad to see there might be something on the horizon!

Cleveland Clinic buys former church land, expects Holiday Inn construction to start in late summer By Michelle Jarboe McFee, The Plain Dealer Email the author | Follow on Twitter on June 05, 2014 at 4:15 PM, updated June 05, 2014 at 5:17 PM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Clinic paid $1 million this week for a piece of Euclid Avenue land, where construction could start in late summer on a 276-room Holiday Inn. Real estate records show that the Cleveland Clinic Foundation acquired the property, where the Church of the Transfiguration stood until early this year, on Wednesday. The seller was the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. In an email Thursday, a Clinic spokeswoman said the hospital system and InterContinental Hotels Group expect to open their Holiday Inn, a $40 million project, in early 2016. The hotel will fill the lodging void left by the Clinic's Guesthouse, a nearby building that was razed last year to make room for a new Case Western Reserve University medical education complex. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/06/cleveland_clinic_buys_former_c.html#incart_more_business

^ There is a $40 million Phase 2 that had been proposed when they had proposed (and since completed) Phase 1. Something I really hope comes to pass. I agree - it needs a bit more to help elevate the aquarium as a destination http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=6975.msg588074#msg588074 http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/projects/detail.php?ID=42

Restoration of Cleveland Indians' first home at League Park targets Opening Day in July By Tim Warsinskey, The Plain Dealer on April 03, 2014 at 2:02 PM, updated April 03, 2014 at 2:55 PM CLEVELAND, Ohio – Lounging in Viola Super's porch swing and gazing at the ornate and slightly bowed brick wall of League Park, it's possible to squint and imagine fans pouring down East 66th Street in 1891, eager to watch Cleveland Spiders ace Cy Young throw the first pitch in the new stadium. Sit still long enough and one can listen for echos of cheering throngs who witnessed the only Indians World Series championship clinched at home, in 1920, or the crack of Babe Ruth's 500th career home run over the 60-foot Great Wall onto Lexington Avenue nine years later. Those days, of course, are long gone. But baseball is not dead on this quiet, historic corner of Cleveland's Hough neighborhood, and Super said she could not be more pleased to see a bright future finally nearing realization at League Park after decades of neglect and decay. As the Indians celebrate their 114th home opener Friday three miles away at Progressive Field, a $6.3 million restoration and renovation of League Park is about 75 percent finished and continues, now that winter has thawed, toward a mid-July completion target. http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2014/04/restoration_of_cleveland_india.html#incart_m-rpt-2

^ Actually, there is a B Spot Downtown...it's in the casino :) I know it's a bit different than having an outward facing location on the street, but it is there.

America's suburban sprawl elevated to aerial art By Matthew Knight for CNN November 8, 2010 7:51 a.m. EST (CNN) -- Eye-catching and provocative aren't descriptions you'd readily associate with the architecture of America's sprawling suburbs. But seen from photographer Christoph Gielen's perspective, they are. From Florida's west coast through Nevada to the Californian highways, Gielen's aerial photos -- taken from a helicopter -- reveal the strange geometry of the suburban landscape of the United States. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/11/08/urban.sprawl.images.us/index.html?hpt=C2

Cleveland comic-book legend Harvey Pekar dead at age 70 Monday, July 12, 2010, 11:11 AM Joanna Connors, The Plain Dealer Joanna Connors, The Plain Dealer Harvey Pekar's life was not an open book. It was an open comic book. Pekar chronicled his life and times in the acclaimed autobiographical comic book series, "American Splendor," portraying himself as a rumpled, depressed, obsessive-compulsive "flunky file clerk" engaged in a constant battle with loneliness and anxiety. Pekar, 70, was found dead shortly before 1:00 a.m. Monday by his wife, Joyce Brabner, in their Cleveland Heights home, said Powell Caesar, spokesman for Cuyahoga County Coroner Frank Miller. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. Pekar and his wife, Joyce Brabner, wrote "Our Cancer Year," a book-length comic, after Pekar was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 1990 and underwent a grueling treatment. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/07/cleveland_comic-book_legend_ha.html

You may want to consider Akron... Both Lakewood and Cleveland are better than an hour drive time and 55 and 62 miles respectively to Wooster (so says Mapquest, so I'm sure it's city center to city center with lack of a proper address) Akron comes out as at 49 minutes (which seems a touch high to me, having made the drive more than a few times myself) and 35 miles. Also, commute times for your husband to Cuyahoga county would presumably be in the half hour range or so (depending how far north his job turns out to be... A neighborhood like Highland Square might fit the bill. There's a ton of homes built between 1900 and 1920 - some well maintained, some not so much. It does have a real city neighborhood feel. There's a few dodgy areas, but I really like the area. Plenty of parks located fairly close by too. I think you'd do well to consider it

Did I see "American" football stripes painted on the grass at Crew stadium on the highlights? I thought it was soccer specific...Was I hallucinating or did I see that right?

^Good to know...thanks!

^In case of a tie, do you know if they go by goal differential like the Prem or do they go to a single game playoff or even a home-away for the Supporter's Shield?

Ahem.... http://blog.cleveland.com/westsidesunnews/2009/05/pearl_road_auto_parts_to_be_po.html The person who posted it at Sun's website was then-Assistant Editor Roger Vozar. But the article's author is named at the end of the article. Well played sir, well played :-)

First, I know there's a wind energy thread, but I can't seem to find it (probably being cleaned by mods...) so I'll re-post it there once it reappears, but I saw this driving on 480 today and was a bit surprised. You can't see it in the photo, but it says "Pearl Wind" on the side of the turbine. Can't say I read about this before, but I might have missed it. Not what I expected to see running around in Parma today.
