BJ's Brewhouse is a decent chain. We have them in S. Florida. The bar area usually features sports on large flat screens and they also serve their house blond, red, ipa, lager.

No. Isnt there available land adjacent to Stokes, southeast of Huron or is that the possible SW site?

Sadly, one of the City's greatest assets, the lakefront, had not been a priority since the Great Lakes Exposition in 1936-1937. As Cleburger mentioned above, there has been a general lack of visionary leadership to make the lakefront a priority. https://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/71

A new courthouse can be built next to Stokes. If it can be done on a 1928 building here, it can be done in Cleveland. https://www.miamiherald.com/site-services/newsletters/real-estate-newsletter/article238485213.html

While the development is certainly welcome, this one needs to go back to the drawing board. Hopefully this design will not gain approval.

Oh, inlovewithCLE!

I'm with you on this one! One of the least attractive renderings I've ever seen.

Per the press release, the target customers, the "3.8M within a 60 mile radius," (so mostly suburban/exurbanites) are not going to want to pay to park, nor do they want to sit in traffic for access/regress. They could go to their local mall instead. That's why this location is ideal.

Not with a $60M starting point it isnt.

No. Do tell!

As Cleveland becomes more of a Great Lakes cruise destination on Victory Cruise Lines, are their any updates on the Port's C&I development? https://trib.al/fyoDsij

What is the city getting in return from UAL? Connections into two of the most delay-prone airports in the country; EWR and ORD? What should be an hour and a half flight often turns into three or four hours. EWR is also one of the lowest ranked large airports.

So CLE is confined to multiple LCCs, a legacy airline that blocks an entire concourse and lots of hub connections. That's very sad.

Given Parker-Hannifin's aircraft industry business orientation and global facilities, I'm surprised they have not pressed for and supported direct flights to Europe and Mexico.

I despise UAL. They've screwed CLE over twice, and continue to do so if they're blocking competition from gates.

Driving on I-71, all of the houses had an orange cast from the iron particulate dust that had fallen on them and oxidized (rusted). There weren't many complaints because it was people's livelihoods; and they were good paying jobs in those mills. It was an eerie sight.

Beautiful buildings, and such a great loss!

As illustrated upthread and in the link below, if the buildings were ever previously cleaned, it didn't last very long. The buildings started construction in 1911 and as illustrated, by 1929 during their heyday and in the midst of Cleveland's industrial boom, they were already black from the grit and grime. For those too young to remember, there was also a period into the 1970's when many homes in the Clark-Fulton and Broadway areas had an orange hue from the fumes eminating from the steel mills in the flats. It was real and as the photos reflect below, these once black buildings have been very nicely restored to their original stone color. s://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/815

East 30th through East 105th used to be densely populated with single-family homes, duplexes, apartments and row-houses, with retail/mixed use on the Avenues and major cross-streets. That stock has been mostly depleted and eliminated, so any development that adds density to that large urban oasis is fantastic news.

I find it interesting that the SE side of PS has a Gateway District marquee (so it must be considered such) instead of Public Square.

Acid washes should do the trick, depending on stone composition, porosity and the pollutants but I'm concerned that the grime may have been absorbed into the stone and masonry in over a century of neglect. I'm not sure those facades have ever been cleaned. Restoration now may require a much more labor intensive and expensive restoration process to remove the grime without damaging the stone.

It's just surprising that United, being such a staunch Boeing customer, would make such a move, even if it is to postpone receipt of A350s. I guess the problem for Boeing is that they do not have a comparable aircraft.

As stated above and in a major departure from tradition and an Airbus coup, United has just placed orders for 50 Airbus single-aisle 321XLRs, with a range of 4700 nm. They're intended to replace their fleet of aging Boeing 757s, which are currently used on intercontinental routes from EWR and IAD. They do have the range to fly from CLE to Western Europe, provided it makes sense economically.

Unfortunately that's what a century of particulates, hydrocarbons and their acidic derivatives will do to building facades. The summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college I worked for the Cleveland Division of Air Pollution Control. While things were improving in the late 70s, air pollution from the steel mills in the flats industrial valley was a major problem.
