Summit Street

So a tall but single-use structure with adjacent 'parking garage rooftop swimming pool'?

This courthouse design included the clock tower / steeple from when it was built, around 1890. It has probably been refurbished and cleaned a few times though. A fun fact is that the tower was originally planned for the center of the structure, but poor foundations required that they move it slightly to the side. It looks quite strange when viewing it from directly in front.

This block has come up on some endangered buildings list recently.

The CAC chairman has decided to delay the vote until next meeting, July 2nd, instead of giving a tie-breaker vote. Two new commissioners are starting terms before then, including the chairman (moving away) and the head of the zoning committee (voted out of office)

Cheyenne, Wyoming Capital of Wyoming Population chart: 1900 ~14,000 1950 ~32,000 2010 ~60,000 Metro just under 100,000 Find the following for fun: State Capitol; Train Station; parking garage imitating historic structures; unfortunate cladding; a couple theaters; clouds that will become a tornado fifty miles east; some good looking buildings; and some other buildings

After the developers gave the presentation, they allowed people to ask questions and give comments. (They had time to do about a dozen.) A few people voiced concerns on how they thought it was too dense. Some people thought there wasn't enough parking. Some wanted a shorter building. Some were concerned about traffic patterns on Brighton and the alley. Following each question/comment, the host asked for a show of hands from the crowd about whether they felt the same way. Of the probably 50 people there, there were probably 30 or so that raised their hand with each concern. One lady spoke highly in favor of it, and she received clapping equal to the guy that said it would ruin the small town feel of Clintonville. /// 5 floors. Retail, appx 17,000 sq ft total on the first. Third through fifth are apartments, twenty on each floor. Parking garage on second floor and behind building. Walkway through the middle. (Think of the Bank Block in Grandview Heights, but taller.) 62 ft planned, which requires a variance for the last 27 feet. Height was mentioned to be about the same as school across street. About 160 parking spaces planned, which needs a variance from 200 minimum. Variance also needed for triangle sight lines in the alley. Little abandoned shack behind the old Clintonville Electric space could not be purchased(next to Brighton). (The developers were sad that they couldn't include that parcel in the plans. They tried, and owner refused to sell at any price.) Parking is accessed from that point on Brighton, and also from the alley off Broadway. The alley would be widened and repaved. Rent prices were unknown they said. The cylinder shaped corner piece isn't for sure what they want to do in the corner.

From the presentation:

Yay! //GE doesn't actually own that site, they lease it.

I think it means that the view is from the northwest corner of Goodale/High streets. [edit: oh, or maybe what you said in your edit]

I've decided to take their rendering and give it a few much-needed adjustments:

Lynn, Massachusetts Population ~90,000 ______________________________________ Malden, Massachusetts Population ~60,000 -Converse Memorial Library (HH Richardson)

The hotel is about 200 feet up, right? From Google Earth, this might be the northern view out of the hotel-

I've never seen Rhinegeist in any Columbus store. Is that expansion just in bars? And, just because I'm curious- why do you say Columbus has a weaker brewing scene?

Lafayette, Indiana -Tippecanoe County Seat -Municipal population ~65,000 (doesn’t include nearby Purdue University) -Metro ~200,000 //////////// West Lafayette’s Sullivan Bank: __________________________________ Bloomington, Indiana -Monroe County Seat -Municipal population ~80,000 (~40,000 Indiana University students) -Metro ~175,000

As part of the Columbus UIRF (Urban Infrastructure Recovery Fund), the CAC approved a few projects: -2 Planted Medians for south Clintonville... one on High St. and one on Indianola. -Road Diet and bike lanes on Indianola between North Broadway and Morse. -Road Diet for W. North Broadway between High and the river -New sidewalks on parts of Indianola -A new north/south bike connector Implementation will happen sometime between now and 2019.

Okay, to be nice, they do have a rail line connecting downtown to PHX airport (and Tempe, and probably somewhere else too) Phoenix has a (car-minded) road leading north out of downtown a few miles. Along that are some of the taller buildings in the city. :( ///// /// “Roosevelt Row Arts District”. This is the heart of your art district? The one that you boast as the “walkable, creative district in the urban core of downtown Phoenix that is nationally known”? Considering this is the fifth(?) largest city in the country… Seriously??, F*** You Phoenix. (Oh, I’m being too nice.):

Miami Beach, FL population ~90,000... Large collection of architecture from the second quarter of the twentieth century.

I didn't get anything outside of the downtown area. The only neighborhoods I have heard of are Ensley (which I completely forgot about while there...) and whatever they call the area around UAB.

Birmingham, Alabama Population table- 1900: ~40,000 1950: ~325,000 2010: ~212,000 Metro area just over a million. Known for being an industrial city, and for being a major part in the civil rights movement. Has a sizable collection of pre-war towers: City Federal Building, Empire Building, Alabama Power Building, Woodward Building, John Hand Building, Brown Marx Tower…

Anyone know anything about the domed building in the background?

It was close enough to visit while I was collecting State Capitals in the region.
