w28th

"And I was JUST going to post on here this morning and ask about Kan Zaman. That real estate they've moved to must be expensive and I know virtually nothing about their restaurant. I wonder if they'll make it in that space." I wouldn't say that the space is that expensive, it was empty for quite some time, and before that it was some dirty barbeque joint. Just a bad location and an even worse example of urban design.

^I can't help but think that a location closer to the West Side Market/center of Ohio City would have been a better idea. Having to walk by the sea of parking that is Lutheran Hospital and the hovels on the east side of W25th isn't very condusive to walk up traffic.

^The Waterfront Loop is part of Flats East Bank.

"Warren confirmed Wednesday that Eaton has been involved in discussions about building a corporate campus in the loop of the Regional Transit Authority's waterfront line within Wolstein's project." I can't think of a more horrible downtown location for a corporate headquarters. Why not integrate them within the rest of the development? Do they require surface parking or something? Wonderful.

"Warren confirmed Wednesday that Eaton has been involved in discussions about building a corporate campus in the loop of the Regional Transit Authority's waterfront line within Wolstein's project." I can't imagine a worse location for a corporate headquarters if they are trying to add to downtown's vitality/density. Absolutely horrible.

I snapped a few pictures of Joshua Hall this evening. It's been lit up at night for a few months now. The first one is the Prospect facade, the second, Bolivar. Brightens up the area nicely.

The skull and cross bones Progressive Field logo is... forboding.

Pope, your dry humor is perfect for the ridiculous notion of people complaining about a 25 cent rate change. There's this little thing called inflation.

A quote from Zaremba, "a rising tide raises all boats."

This is so freaking hilarious... Cosmopolitan. Life. Style. Experience the evolution of Solon. feel. sense. taste. discover. know. Imagine... a preeminent place to walk. dine. shop. live. experience. Imagine... a place so intriguing. beguiling. captivating. enthralling. That you want to... explore. search. probe. experience. Because... around every corner... down every street ... there is something ... new. novel. fresh. original. different. World class... hotels. shops. restaurants. homes. gardens. parks. arts. performances. All this connects to become the gateway to Solon. Experience & imagine Solon like never before

La Fin de Monde somehow doesn't give me hangovers even though it's 9%. Also the best tasting beer on earth.

"Euclid from E. 4th to CSU is becoming an entirely new street as we speak." You can also count E4th to Public Square. Bang and Clatter Theater, Park Building, Terminal Tower renovations. Also, maybe there is something brewing about the May Company building......

Feagler can put that in his pipe and smoke it. Great article.

Anybody hear any news on when the Euclid Tavern will be opening up? I've heard it's getting close.

Because people drive.. sorry MTS, a lot of people drive. As much as that may take years off your life.. people drive, especially people staying at hotels. Do you like ANYTHING? What exactly is so bad about that? It's a crude sketch.. I don't like garbage. And that's garbage, along with the Qbert Tower and cutthrough to Euclid Avenue. And really, the cutthrough to Euclid wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't so wide. Bringing it down to a better scale where it seems jsut a bit larger than an alley would be a more successful approach than having yet another K&D enduced gaping wound in the Euclid Avenue canyon. There are enough large empty plazas around town (Key Bank on E9th, NCB, One Cleveland Center, Federal Building, Huron/Prospect, North Point, Mall B & C, just to name a few). Plazas should only be created when the pedestrian density of the street needs to be exhausted.

^Dear god that is horrible. I was scared that that was a proposal for a second.

"I think K&D’s designs are regressing each phase of stonebridge is getting more and more out there. I think enough already, get off the ultra contemporary. I like contemporary, but it is as if they cut and pasted one of there renderings of a phase of stonebridge in back of the tower." True, Doug Price's designs are horrible and poorly constructed views of what he thinks contemporary architecture is (and this proposal for E9th and Huron is the worst I've seen), but don't let that give contemporary, authentically current design a bad name. The proposal looks like an Orlando office park from the early 1990's, complete with barren plaza. But, tower saved. It could be worse.

A ball pit with a $100,000 sound system in a neighborhood populated by mostly late 20's-40's singles, empty nesters, or low incomers. Sounds pretty unrealistic. But, I guess everyone has their opinions.

That rendering of the propsal is scary but with the Breuer Tower saved, really, how could I complain. I just hope there is a chance to get the lobby restored to what it was just 6 months ago before the idiotic County Commissioners blew a whole through it with a bobcat. What great planning on their part. But, the news of the day is certainly saving the tower and the prospect of the rotunda being restored and open to the public. Good for Cleveland, and concerned citizens throughout the world really.

If it were up to you w28, NYC would still be a city of tenements. Why not tear it down and build something of use to the city instead of an empty, gutted building? Thanks for revealing your total inability to grasp local development tendencies k2stae. If you haven't noticed there are blocks upon blocks of empty land surrounding the parcel in question that didn't magically sprout new development after buildings were knocked down to create a barren wasteland.

^That's the plan. Info came out last year at the end of January so we'll see what happens in a couple weeks for this year.

Who cares, let's just tear down everything so we can have nice open fields surrounded by chain link fence. That would be nice.

I can't wait to see what horrid temporary facade is pasted onto the Euclid side of the 6611 building. Seems silly to tear down a 6 story building to straighten a street. Just my opinion.

With this coming online, Osborn, the building on Huron, and Joshua Hall there are quite a few residential options in this part of the city. Must be all the views of the Breuer Tower...
