  1. It's still a very attractive addition to the block.
  2. You know, San Francisco went through a similar period 40 years ago, with its aging Victorian stock. Individual prospective home owners bought them cheap and rehabilitated them or developers snapped them up. In a hot area, owners will need to either pony up for rehab/development or lose out; they will need to get on the train. It's already left the station.
  3. This, and more of it is sorely needed in parts of the East and SE side of the City. The idea of phasing-in market-rate housing may help to de-centralize poverty and hopefully create a community that is economically diverse and one that thrives.
  4. Oh well! Brecksville, Independence, Solon, Middleburg Heights, Beachwood, Mayfield Heights, Parma, etc., etc., etc., have been taking from the City of Cleveland for over a century (water, population, electricity, corporations, jobs, financial resources, religious institutions, taxes, etc.), providing little to nothing in return. They've crippled the City, almost draining it dry. It's time to turn the tables.
  5. Doesn't JetBlue fly from CLE to BOS, as well as legacy carriers? I think Spirit, based in FLL, is really more focused on deeply discounted leisure travel, but 4 times/week to Cancun is a lot for Cleveland.
  6. BOS via Spirit?
  7. Good job Marty15 for being 5 drinks in! You hold your liquor well.
  8. There may be concerns that "bringing back density" will not mean bringing back people of Italian decent.
  9. Love the Panamara too!
  10. It sounds like they fulfill an unmet housing need, since CWRU enrollments are up, there's a campus-housing shortage, and upper-classmen are encouraged to seek off-campus housing.
  11. I think it looks absolutely phenomenal and look forward to paying it (It'll always be the old Union Trust) a visit when I'm in town.
  12. The rendering of the exterior entrance should be a clue as to their target audience, unless there are that many twenty-somethings driving MBs in Cleveland these days. It's crazy, but other cities (NYC) has utilized different entrances/exits for different functional uses; around the corner from one another.
  13. Thanks. I prefer the west and north sides. They don't have those verticle stripes on those sides.
  14. While close, they aren't quite close enough. If the stadium is staying in it's current location, there needs to be a plan to better connect FEB to the stadium. Now you have to take the Lakefront line from FEB to FES or hike up W. 3rd to the stadium; not too convenient, especially after a few beers.
  15. It does look like pan decking that's been sprayed with acoustic foam and/or fire retardant.
  16. I'm afraid the proximity of FEB to the stadium dooms the probability of any bar-hopping next to FES.
  17. Absolutely! More of these are desperately needed. It will remove much of the stress that exists within the community.
  18. They've done a great job hiding the mechanicals.
  19. Thanks. The link has been corrected and it isn't the first nor last time Wall Street has gotten it wrong too. SW missed on revenue and EPS, but still a successful quarter and year in North America; consumers love their SW paints. Performance Coatings Group and ROW were a drag on KPIs. It's all good. They continue to work down that Valspar debt.
  20. EBIDA grew to $3B, with gross margins of almost 45%, primarily driven by the Americas Group. They're killing it! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sherwin-williams-company-reports-2019-120200974.html
  21. I think it means that UAL continues to dangle CLE on a string, because they can and they are able to get away with it. They don't fear losing business because everyone continues to fly them regardless of what they do, what they do not do, nor the service they do, nor do not provide. Is the city going to allow D Concourse to turn into a brownfield?
  22. I did the same. I lived on the westside of Manhattan and flew CO out of EWR; I even had a Chase OnePass credit card. Unlike you guys, when they pulled the plug on CLE for the 2nd time, I started flying DL or SW, temporarily sacrificed my Elite status, cancelled my Chase card, and haven't flown UA since. Being on a plane 3 or 4 times a month, it didn't take long to gain DL status. Yes, you take a brief hit on status, but switching to DL, provided me with more options via EWR, LGA or JFK. Today, I think DL is by far the best of the big three legacy carriers. I simply refuse to fly an airline that did what UAL did, not once, but twice to the same city. Where's your civic pride? Why would Clevelanders continue to support an airline that thinks so little of Cleveland and its travelers?
  23. So, in other words, United has CLE by the b__ls! Most of the miles were probably accrued from CO, not UA. So there you have it and that's why the service is what it is.
  24. Look's like the rendering.
  25. This may explain their stranglehold. ORD, EWR, IAD are all a 2 hour flight or less. This represents tens of millions. I guess being the "best location..." has its downside. Until addressed by the city however, CLE will never be able to reach its full potential.
