Growth Mindset

Could be an old name. The elementary school in that neighborhood, Luis Munoz Marin, was formerly named Abraham Lincoln.

Maybe they will herd sheep there again. https://www.farmanddairy.com/news/sheep-in-the-city/427614.html

There were rumors that an international market was going in the building. But this is unconfirmed.

I never understood why those houses were built in the first place. If you are going to build in an urban environment, create a home which will not only be an urban style but encourage renovation of the historic homes in the surrounding neighborhood.

Those buildings are beautiful. Tearing them down will not only destroy the historic Urban fabric of the neighborhood but leave a gaping hole in the block. There has been a great deal of improvement in it and the owners appear to care.

Wasn’t the new convention center built as an incentive to have the medical mart?

Maybe this is the motivation to more than double the size of the convention center downtown. In it's current size, most of the trade shows and exhibitions that were held at the IX Center can't be accommodated.

If this is what we get, awesome! It is modern without being gaudy or too trendy. And will play nice in the Public Square sandbox.

Let's hope that this is the first of many on that block.

It is a monthly magazine sent by West Park Kamms Neighborhood Development

I only wish!

In Kamm's , not as many as you would think. Initially, there was a rush but it settled. The neighborhood is where their families, churches, and schools (St Joseph, and OLA also not so far from St. Ed's) are. Not to mention, but when the residency requirement was lifted, property values in the neighborhood were down.

I have lived in the Kamm's area for over 20 years. The neighborhood I live in is beautiful with homes of the same vintage and style as Rocky River and Lakewood. My concern is the wave of blight which is getting worse and is not being addressed. There is so much potential in the neighborhood but until something is done to improve the commercial district,

Good question. It was updated by Cleveland State last year http://levin.urban.csuohio.edu/capstone2019/index.html

At the time, very few people lived downtown. The chicken and egg question is in play now. With new residential properties being developed and the downtown area attracting young affluent people, there will once again be a need for high end retail. Just not in a mall like TC

There are so many former industrialized areas in this city that could be potential small downtowns. (e.g. north of St. Clair between E20th and the innerbelt, just south of Gordon Park, Opportunity Corridor) the list goes on and on. Other cities develop those small areas and work to build fill between them.

Is it the Viaduct, or the Viadauct?

New neighborhood? Where?

Probably because with the pandemic. There’s no need for Teach for America since there’s no school.

I always thought that garage was ugly and stuck out like a sore thumb

Yes it was. But merchants and restaurants can't survive on only having customers 3 hours a day Monday -Friday (No holidays). The area needs more residential density just like other parts of the city to be viable.

I thought you were being facetious when you said this building is beautiful and extends the skyline. Because I saw that big pile of sand in the foreground. Now I get it. Yes, we need many more beautiful tall modern structures (like Lumen) to show the world how amazing our city is.

Link doesn’t work ?

I know this hasn’t worked well with the “adopt a highway” program, but I would love to have the opportunity to landscape and maintain a small plot downtown and put up a small sign that says it is being maintained by my small business.

Forward thinking. These installations will give downtown a new colorful funky vibe!
