  1. The hiding of the parking and the entire site plan is due to the hard work of a select few in City Planning and Community Development at City Hall.
  2. Dive bars are cultivated over years, decades, of use. Calling something a dive bar doesn’t make it one.
  3. Going to need to jump that crane soon
  4. God I hope they didn't use their in house architects at Geis...
  5. ^A line of experienced developers, real estate professional and architects that live in this environment would tell you you're incorrect.
  6. Marty15, totally agree.
  7. It’s funny that 4 years of moderate construction in any neighborhood of the city is cause to eliminate a program that, first of all has worked, second of all is copied throughout the larger region, thirdly is used, in nearly every instance, in neighborhoods that continue to lose population, and finally that have average incomes well below the metro average. These new residents pay income taxes that often tripled any income made off of existing home property taxes. The idea put forth by “long time” residents and the politicians that are forced to listen to them that new residents get a free ride is hilarious and not surprising in the post truth scenario we live in.
  8. Quick update. There's a backhoe on site in the rear of the property. No parking in the lot today.
  9. Bring on the canyon...
  10. Buyers assume there will be no maintenance on a new house, townhome or condo. Even to the extent that when gutters or downspouts become clogged from not being cleaned out for 5 years they think it's a builder/design issue. While this example seems to be partially crappy craftsmanship, these are also 15 years old in many cases, exposed to constant salting during the winter along Detroit Avenue. As a whole this is a recipe for what you're seeing.
  11. Normally I would agree but it seems the newspaper of record uses this site as a content generator at times, I’m sure KJP would concur.
  12. From what I understand 85% occupancy is the base line that banks use when doing a proforma for financing a building. Seems right on par. So when people say something "seems" high based on nonexistent knowledge it's best to disregard it.
  13. No clue. Could it be something to do with the May Company renovations?
  14. Looking at the blue and green line schedule may be a good place to start
  15. Both do actually
  16. The blue line does continue through the flats
  17. Insidently, the projects were the 1st thing to blast huge holes in the neighborhood. And this knowledge may be lost to time, but the presence of the projects on Cedar may have caused engineers to swoop I77 back west towards downtown as opposed to continuing north from E30th & Woodland and allowing I90/71 to hit I77 there.
  18. The 1927/1937 option on the ESRI map already shows it cut through.
  19. The Terminal Tower is in the background, but it looks totally black meaning it's probably the steel structure (no facade yet). Maybe 1928?
  20. My bi-annual trip down the historic photo search rabbit hole. Several pics I'd never seen before. Carnegie and E22nd (apparently Carnegie stopped at E22nd, it was then extended to E14th in the late 20's or early 30's). Looking up W25th to the Lake These buildings just east of 925 Euclid are currently being rehabbed. Penn Square Theater, west of E55th on Euclid, north side of the street. South side of Woodland Avenue just west of E55th. Alhambra Theater fire, north side of Euclid just west of E105th The Doan Theater, just west of E105th on St. Clair E105th just north of Euclid, east side of the street. Chester at E12th Street East 9th & Chester E6th & Euclid East 14th & Prospect, notice the 12 story building with the Red Cross sign two buildings east of the current Halle garage
  21. Verified, borings at the former Hippodrome site are for a project. 20 story apartment building. I have no other info unfortunately.
