JACK Entertainment’s plan for elevated walkway over Ontario Street clears design review, but with strings attached An advisory panel for Cleveland’s planning commission narrowly approved JACK Entertainment’s plan to build an elevated walkway over Ontario Street, but not before a debate over whether it would really help revitalize the street below. JACK Entertainment wants to build a walkway that will connect the upper floors of the old Higbee Building to parking in the former May Co. parking garage across Ontario between Public Square and Prospect Avenue. The easy access to parking would make upper floors in the Higbee Building attractive for leasing, sparking activity in the neighborhood, Len Komoroski, a principal in JACK Entertainment, told a design-review panel on Thursday. The Cleveland Planning Commission’s Downtown|Flats Design Review Advisory Committee gave its approval by a 5-4 vote Thursday, sending it to the full Planning Commission. ... Ultimately the committee approved the bridge, but will require JACK Entertainment to provide more details of its plan for the street. JACK Entertainment Vice President Gino Del Pup said the company was willing to commit to providing a master plan. ...

As a new Gold Pass member (and a former Platinum Passholder from several years ago), I am super excited about it. Just as long as the wifey gives in to her fears about riding some of the more extreme coasters. Plus, who says you have to go on the weekends?

I see an Urban Ohio "back-on-topic" meme coming soon

Cedar Point Auctioning Vintage Items From Town Hall Museum If you've ever wanted a predictions machine, a World Series arcade game, or another curiosity, this is your chance.

With an RFP process in motion, Shore Cultural Centre is getting ready for its second act When it comes to arts and culture in Euclid, all signs point to Shore Cultural Centre. Located in the heart of the city, the 141,000-square-foot building plays home to many art-based studios, faith-based organizations, and health and wellness businesses—along with the Euclid Symphony Orchestra, Euclid Hunger Center, and Euclid Culinary Bistro (operated by Euclid High School students). Built in 1913, the complex has a long and storied history, landing the building on the National Register of Historic Places. For many decades, the building housed Shore High School (the northern counterpart to Central High School, Euclid’s other high school until Euclid High School was built in 1949 and both Shore and Central became middle schools). The Shore school ultimately shuttered in 1986, after which the building adopted its current use as a cultural hub. Thirty-plus years later, Shore Cultural Centre is ripe for revitalization, as the city prepares to offer new investment opportunities to developers who can see its creative potential amid downtown Euclid’s robust development plans.

The wife and I had dinner on the train last week. Such and awesome thing to have here. Can't wait to do it again.

Part's of Cherry were filmed in Euclid Friday and a bit over the weekend. I believe there was a bank robber seen being shot at the Eaton Family Credit Union on Babbitt Road.

Why are you confused @Terdolph?

From what I recall when walking past here earlier this year, it is the front entrance to Broadvox Technology Center

Yeah, Chris Andrews owned Warped Records as well as Chain Link Addiction. Those were great places to hang out. Different then Coventry, but just as cool. Later on he opened Capsule. The late Ed Wille (one half of Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival) opened B-Ware with his wife Natalie. I went to high school with both of them. A nice non-denominational christian school.... just goes to show. ?

Greetings from Euclid: Take a sneak peek at Euclid's newest piece of public art Drive through downtown Euclid on any sunny day, and you might catch artist Margaret Garbincus hard at work on the city’s newest piece of public art. The eye-catching welcome sign, “Greetings from Euclid,” will be a mural in the shape of a postcard, depicting iconic scenes from her childhood memories. A lifelong resident of Euclid, Garbincus is celebrating her 50th birthday with this nostalgic public art project—and donating 300 hours of painting time to make it happen. “I’m including my favorite memories of growing up in Euclid,” says Garbincus, “like the Euclid Public Library, Our Lady of the Lake, the [movie] theater, and Paul Serra Field.” “I’m including my favorite memories of growing up in Euclid,” says Garbincus, “like the Euclid Public Library, Our Lady of the Lake, the [movie] theater, and Paul Serra Field.” Though the mural was intended to be a labor of love, Garbincus was honored when the City of Euclid asked to purchase her mural design to produce postcards and other products for sale. Initially, the completion of the mural was slated to coincide with the Euclid Art Walk on Sept. 13, but weather and approval delays postponed the mural’s debut until 2020. As a preview, colorful postcards of her mural design were produced and distributed at the art walk event. MORE: https://www.freshwatercleveland.com/street-level/greetingsfromeuclid101619.aspx

I played on the train, too. We lived near Second District, so this was just a bike ride away

I forgot about those. Plus all the certain ethnic (although, self-deprecating) jokes they had. The one skit I remember I know for sure would not air now centered around a pediatricians office with a bunch of moms feeding their babies... one had chocolate milk. Sort of a play on some of the old Little Rascals bits.

That's cool. I thought Hoolihan had died years ago.

The total package: Amazon doubles down on hiring by bringing 2,000 jobs to Euclid Anyone who’s driven up and down East 260th Street on a regular basis in the last year has watched a real-life time-lapse video of sorts as the former Euclid Square Mall site has steadily transformed into an Amazon fulfillment center. Euclid’s director of planning and development Jonathan Holody has had a front-row seat. When he first started working for the city of Euclid seven years ago, “the mall was still standing, but it was not a functioning mall,” he says. “That was still the case when Mayor [Kirsten Holzheimer] Gail was elected. She and I both realized there was potential there.” Indeed, as Euclid is now home to one of six fulfillment and sortation centers in Ohio (along with Etna, Monroe, North Randall, Obetz, and Twinsburg). The 650,000-square-foot facility has been fully operational since Sept. 8, following a hiring push in August for 2,000 jobs—twice the number initially estimated. https://www.freshwatercleveland.com/breaking-ground/amazoneuclid101119.aspx

NE Ohio Scanner @NEO_Scan · 4m u/d: roll of steel fell through, evacuating construction area to account for all workers, CSUPD assistance requested

Yikes! @NEO_Scan is saying no injuries reported. Sure hope it stays that way

Somebody bellow? Yesterday was national Pierogi Day, so, i guess I might smell a bit like that today

FreshWater is going On the Ground in Euclid With ambitious waterfront improvements, the opening of the Amazon fulfillment center, and five opportunity zones in flux, all eyes seem to be on Euclid as it charts its next steps in reclaiming its status as a thriving inner-ring suburb. FreshWater Cleveland will highlight the people, places, and projects shaping and transforming Euclid—as well as potential solutions to the myriad challenges facing the city—as part of a 10-week community reporting series kicking off this Thursday, Oct. 3. https://www.freshwatercleveland.com/inthenews/fwotgeuclid2019.aspx? ************************************************************************************* Portrait of a city: Euclid is busy writing its next chapter On Sept. 28, longtime Euclid residents Audrey and Victor Goodman gathered approximately 70 Euclidians at Shore Cultural Centre to give voice to everything from litter concerns to road resurfacing to police presence. Residents shared suggestions and proposed solutions with Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer Gail, Euclid police chief Scott Meyer, and Euclid City Schools interim superintendent Christopher Papouras. Like many Euclidians, the Goodmans believe that residents will be a powerful force in moving Euclid forward, and they’re willing to do the work to get there. Why are residents so invested? Because they know that there are two views of Euclid—the one from the inside and the one from the outside—and that the Euclid depicted in statistics doesn’t always reflect the experience of its people. https://www.freshwatercleveland.com/features/portraitotgeuclid092619.aspx?

WAIT-A-MINUTE... Wait-A-Minute... wait-a-minute How are people who "read" braille supposed to "see" this?

^Bring back the World Series of Rock (aka "monsters of rock"). Enough time has passed to forget any bad taste the that series left with some people.

http://ohioecheck.info/ I do not understand why these are only located in the CLE area. I think there are two in Columbus, but I do not see them anywhere else in the state.

Hey, friends. I'm doing a small project for work and am looking for information regarding the types of incentives cities provide to builders of single/multi-family homes in and around the Cleveland area. Most cities use the CRA tool and a few offer landbanked parcels at a significant discount. Shaker Heights ahs some design assistance. And, of course, there is the student loan assistance program from the amazing village of Newburgh Heights (technically offered to folks purchasing homes, but it can be used for those that build as well.) What other types of incentives do some cities offer?
