Bon Appetit also runs the Plum Market Kitchen (PMK) on the Butler Campus in Indianapolis. Assuming it's like the Butler campus outpost - geared much more toward prepared foods than groceries. The Butler outpost offers lots of in-store seating/lounging space. So these campus PMK outposts are not like the standard Plum Market locations in SE Mich and the Old Town/Chicago store (& soon DC). The campus PMK's also differ from airport PMK's (DTW and soon DFW). Peering around the kraft paper covering the windows, more buildout needed before opening day. Bon Appetit is hiring for positions now.

Looks like demo work underway in the former Constantino's space as they ready things for Plum Market.

The most dramatic office space about-face has to be REI. They've decided to sell their new 380,000sq ft HQ in Bellevue Washington -- planning started in 2016, move-in was to begin last month. Some employees will work from home, some will work out of the the old offices scattered around Seattle. Capital from the sale will be redeployed. I'm not suggesting Sherwin-Williams will follow suit... but it is an interesting move by REI - time will tell. "REI Sells Its Headquarters.

Yep, same operator – CycleHop ran the prior bike share system, with UH as lead sponsor. CycleHop now does business as HOPR – without a sponsor in Cleveland. Not sure if HOPR is looking for a new sponsor, or pivoting to a different business model. HOPR claim's to be getting into the scooter game too, not sure where. Prices do seem a little steep. Better ride fast on that pay-as-you-go plan!

Saw a few HOPR dockless bikes appearing in various locations around Cleveland today. Wade Oval across from CMA and Random Road in Little Italy. Seem to getting deposited where the old UH Bike Stations were located. Way more expensive than the nonprofit sponsored bike share systems. HOPR is $1 to lunock/$0.15 per minute or $15/day, $30 for a 30 day pass w/ 60 minutes per day. Would prefer pricing like RedBike at $100/yr, CoGo at $75/yr.

Why am I not surprised that KJP got this new up before I wandered down the block to snap a picture. Saw some heavy equipment roll in last night. Work commenced with removal of portions of the Washington Place Inn parking lot -- starting in the back corner.

Seems that Top of the Hill is finally underway – at long last. Trees coming down today in the lots on the Euclid Heights Blvd side of things. Wouldn't have been too surprised to see folks picketing.

Dream Hotel might lack the charm of this vision, but still a welcome addition.

Largely true, but then your employer decides they don't want to reconfigure the open plan office and tells you to work from home - 300 sq ft might start to seem a bit too small.

2100 Random is the old Singer Steel building – gusty winds have been blowing pieces of decaying roofing material all over that block recently. At a minimum some attention to whatever is left up on the roof would be welcome. The Business Center was a proposal way back in 2006 - here's an inactive listing from LoopNet: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/14908288/2100-Random-Rd-Cleveland-OH/

What a great add for Larchmere! Maybe First Interstate Prop. can work some magic on Shaker Square while they're in the area. I know Shaker Square is "off market", but it could sure use a little sprucing up – disappointing the way things have played out over the recent past.

They've been working off and on in the gelato space on Mayfield. Most recent addition was a Vespa parked inside the front corner a few days back. In other news, someone was painting in the "Blue Sky Brews" – otherwise slow progress in the old Rising Star space at Cornell & Murray Hill. I'll add 12501 to my watch list...

Long term lurker, first post. It appears a number of 12992 Edgewater residents over many years have a connection to the US Coast Guard - with at least a few Admirals in the mix. My guess - housing for District 9 Commander. Maritime lights indeed - red, right, returning.
