Couple sarcastic quips: The proposed houses are small, compared to some the homes in this area. The neighborhood does have a park, the watershed park on the other end of Delaware Rd.

I forgot to post these photos from last week of them raising the first few cornices on the Heights Medical Building. I'll try to swing by this week to check on the progress. Also, I noticed the garage off Lennox is reopened.

Yes, but I'd much prefer residential/retail at that location over another hospital building. The amount of foot traffic that crosses that intersection could support some ground level stores.

I was curious about the Highland land around Northfield and Harvard. Blue line could be extended some to reach it.

Oops, sorry. This page accidentally landed on page 2. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

Is anything in the works for the gravel lot at Warrensville and Chagrin? With the Raye all but complete, that lot looks like the biggest eyesore in this neighborhood. If i recall from proposals long ago, the paved lot outside the Market Hall was also "Ttemporary".

Has there been any progress on replacement of the Stones Levee bridge that was removed? It's my understanding that it's going to be replaced by a new one, for cars and people.

Even if it's just a stand in image, it's far better than the previous proposal for that lot. The older image reminded me of the building below on East Blvd, which would have more of a fortress feel than a welcoming community feel. I'm not sure the market is there. But a taller building on that site would be cool. The apartments/condos on Shaker, right around the corner are all 10-12 stories.

I haven't seen it in person, but it's unfortunate that it sounds like it's cold feeling. The now okd building is quite a nice design with the red brick, archways and open floor plan. Hopefully some more life will be brought to the new space.

Is it just me or is it really hard to gauge sarcasm in written form.

I can only assume this is what you were referencing when writing this post.

I'll make sure to wear the same thing, just to throw everyone off!

On my drive down Random Rd this morning I noticed a TurnDev banner on the warehouse/parking garage along the tracks. Is something brewing there?

Have there been an discussion on ways to activate the old tudor train stations at Coventry (Green line) and Farnsleigh (Blue line)? Both look great architecturally, but have been vacant for at least 10 years. It would be great if a small coffee shop or something went in there that catered to both RTA riders and others.

I'd have to guess the rent at the renovated Nighttown location would be quite a bit higher than Shaker Square. I'd like to see how well he does there. Nighttown lasted forever because the owner of the restaurant also owned the building. With a new building owner, the rent costs will be high to justify the purchase of the building. That end of Cedar Fairmount also remains unproven, compared to a stable Shaker Square. Unless a few actual stores/restaurants start opening up at the Ascent.
