2036 Summer Olympics - Cleveland 100 years after the Great Lakes Exposition Who's in?

What about the bridge that was near/part of State Chemical? I only bring that one up because you mentioned Dead Man's Curve.

The first thing I thought of was the impact to the Film Festival... but I'm biased.

We stopped by the Museum at this past week's Wade Oval Wednesday and got a glimpse of the model as well as current progress. This is going to be so sweet when finished in 2020.

Saw these beauties over on 1896 Scranton Road a couple of weeks ago. We need more of this, IMO

Knowing that there is an active developer looking to make something work on this land and that the property I will suggest is nowhere near ready to start development, I feel something of this nature, based on what Horizon may be looking for, is better suited for the First Energy site at 6800 Marginal Burke Parking Lot = 7 Acres vs First Energy = 62 Acres Just a thought

Since Superior is part of U.S. Route 322, wouldn't this need to be approved by the Federal Government? I though that was one of, if not THE reason the plan was executed in the fashion we see now. The designers/city/etc did not want to wait for whatever process the Feds use to end the route. I could be wrong though

I like this a lot. Completely different then what we have downtown already Buildings rarely look like they do in initial renderings; sometimes better - sometimes not. Here is the rendering cropped and color corrected

Unless ODOT Director Jerry Wray misspoke (or I misheard), he specifically said during the press conference that there would be eight lanes in each direction when the project is complete. I admit I may have misheard... but I did hear 8 lanes for sure. As this sounds ridiculous, I will admit to being wrong :)

One of the steps toward this goal requires acquiring the land formerly held by the Harley Davidson dealership. They built and moved into a brand new facility located 4985 W 150th St within the past year. I don't recall if there is anybody currently occupying the former dealership, but it is still owned by Pleasant Valley Enterprises. According to Google Street View (https://goo.gl/maps/h8eUQcn42sr) it was vacant as of October 2015.

Work to begin next year. Expected to be complete by 2023

Looks like we are getting some new bridges... or at least bridge replacements. They are proposing to build a new bridge in between the two existing spans. This will allow, when complete, one span to be closed and be replaced. Once one span is replaced, the other will be removed and replaced. When complete, there will be eight lanes of traffic going in each direction

Looks like as good of a place to post as any: Great news for Ohio history enthusiasts! As you may recall, a threshold was recently established in state law that requires all of the state’s income tax check-offs generate a minimum of $150,000 or face elimination if they fall short two consecutive years. In 2014, the Ohio History Fund check-off generated $171,000 before falling steeply to just $80,000 in 2015. Data showed that all of the other income tax check-offs experienced steep declines from 2014 to 2015. Results so far in 2016 indicate that the Ohio History Fund will fall short of $150,000 this year. Hundreds of you responded this spring by contacting your state legislators – thank you – it made a big difference! Rather than facing elimination, the Ohio History Fund tax check-off and other tax check-offs can now breathe easier thanks to legislative approval from the Ohio General Assembly. State Representative Kirk Schuring (R-Canton) took the lead in sponsoring an amendment that lowers the threshold from $150,000 to $50,000 with elimination for check-offs that fall short five consecutive years, instead of two. Governor Kasich just signed House Bill 182, legislation that revised the income tax threshold, into law yesterday. Representative Schuring, the Ohio House Majority Floor Leader, was honored at this year’s Statehood Day event at the Ohio Statehouse by earning the Ohio History Leadership Award. His leadership on this issue further demonstrates that he is worthy of the award and a true friend of Ohio history. Anyone wishing to express their thanks to Rep. Schuring may do so by emailing [email protected]. Many thanks to you for your support in helping ensure a future for the Ohio History Fund income tax check-off!

Not THAT kind of grinding

They were grinding

Dang!!!!

There were trucks out yesterday evening grounding out the old pavement striping for the roads immediately approaching the square traffic circle

I drove by there last week and was quite surprised at the progress. Very nice to see the pachyderms out in the light again. And what's the roller coaster about???

I know this more of a TV thread, but we went to a screening of Warcraft last night. Perhaps it was because I was expecting silly fantasy rubbish, boy, was I surprised. A very good story line, amazing writing, excellent effects, awesome acting by a bunch of mostly no-names. I never played the game, but felt this script does its part to appeal to the fans of the game as well as those who never played. I came out thinking about the similarities to Star Wars Ep. IV: script, effects, no-name actors. It is completely set-up to be a great franchise.
