Walp that explains it, my bad posting in the JHB topic, thanks for this!

I don't even know where this belongs on here (but it's a restaurant, so...) but I absolutely love this tagline, it's like a wonderful rag on the #1 NEO complaint despite us having TOO MUCH parking:

lol that was my first thought

Any idea what these wires are for? An external generator perhaps? They're all around the street and head into the JHB building parking area. Boxes are probably every 100-150 feet or so.

lol uh, duh. Also, here's another quote (I wonder if our pesky 'relocation expert' is what he's referring to with the 'press' remark): Sorry, was reading through this piece as I was commenting. It was the site section specialist who they're leaning on for these other cities, and at least @KJP got some love (even if it's backhanded).

If it doesn't work out I'd imagine a showroom would be easy to turn into something else retail wise- open floor concept of retail. But I hope it works out, like other people said it could really add to the downtown vibe and would be pretty big city feeling and unique.

Totally agree, I was honestly expecting no response and was snarky in my ask, but holy crap to hear they're as disappointed in it as everyone else means something. I still wish there were some way to make it a safe area for bikes for the time being..

An update on the RR Crossing:

Trust me (read my previous posts for proof) I'm no fan of companies leaving the city or killing county services because of their sprawl, but we need to think regionally. Cleveland doesn't end at city limits, to think otherwise is shortsighted.

As exciting as this is, I do hope they're able to find tenants for the spaces they'll be leaving in the suburbs. I'm all about growing dt cle but at the same time, its beneficial to have a humming hub AND humming spokes (suburbs). TLDR: Get the tower built and hand off real estate to some good firms to make good on the suburban tax bases.

I'm game, thanks for putting this out there @MayDay

What are you talking about? It is finished ?

I was surprised to see how low some of their metrics and employee opinions came out on job sites. I figured they were relatively progressive, but you definitely hit the nail on the head with your description - cliff notes of glassdoor reviews haha.

Please report back, I was thinking about it but my cold has other ideas for me.

In before this is thrown out, but as a transplant, I never got why people FROM Cleveland constantly go out of their way to sh*t on the place (pardon my language, but not really). Cleveland isn't NYC, Chicago, or LA, but who cares - we're Cleveland and we have a world class orchestra, museums, architecture and the list can go on. The reason why people go off on Cleveland so much is arguably more to do with our own opinions of the place over what others think. Similar to how therapists urge folks to think inwardly in a positive versus negative way, our people need to do the same. It's hard to defend a place when people are cynics to the n-th degree. I used to host folks through Airbnb and made sure to be an ambassador to my adopted city, and because of that I'd say 95% of people came away with a positive impression, and who cares about that other 5% coastie population anyways, we don't need them. This comment will certainly get wiped out and should be in the "For the Love of CLE" thread or somewhere else, but sure, we lost population and the 70s-00's were rough times for the Rust Belt in general, but if we can hold down S-W, keep growing current businesses, and attract new folks, there's no reason we can't continue to have a resurgence a la Pittsburgh, MPLS, and the like. With that, I shall take a breath.

No more money for highway widening until RTA gets adequate funding. It's harsh, but why should I subsidize folks that willingly chose to move further and further way from the city center (ie Medina, North Ridgeville, etc.). Lobby for busses, or better park and ride services, instead of acquiescing to single occupancy vehicle folks. I really don't care that your commute is terrible, I'm more concerned about living off a 'BRT line' in the city/county that is absolutely atrocious in timing. Then again we live in Ohio where transit goes to die.

Went to the Browns/Bills game this weekend, had a great time at the stadium and Muni lots before! Some people were jerks during and after the game, but 99.7% of people we're amazing ambassadors to my adopted city of Cle.

Side note, I used to work in a brown-facade building in Independence area and wow, it really made ANY weather look drab - it could be blue skies and 70 degrees yet it always looked as if it was storming and meh. I wouldn't wish darker windows on anyone but my worst enemies.

Like you say, it's better than a junkyard, but for a hopeful 'up and coming' neighborhood, this stinks. Especially with all of the uhmph they've put into the Pearl road stretch, the neighborhood should be more inviting to pedestrians and cyclists. Speaking of, I wonder if anything would ever be built on the HUGE Rite Aid parking lot on Broadview. Some new businesses have opened up in the Valley/Broadview neck of the woods (Corner of the Sky Bookstore, Buckland Museum, and hopefully some more).

Looks like they're only lifting to the escalator level, elevators sound about right.

Whoops, I was working off of a different dataset than MyPlace, thanks for the heads up!
