    I've been "stat-watching" Andy since the trade.
  2. Right, it's so disappointing. Then click on the Pittsburgh photo thread and they have actual isolated bike lanes.....come on CLE!!!
  3. Glad to see these places getting a new lease on life. Still lots of missing teeth along W.25th. Will be interesting to see the progress continue.

    Glad to see the MOnsters wake up in the 3rd. They let in a goal with just 3 sec left in the 1st period. That seemed to take a lot of wind out of their sails. Fun time.

    It will be very interesting to see how ATL comes out after that beat down. Anyhow, no jinxes, just good karma here:
  6. ^ Any chance that this is a shrewd economic move by the facility? They buy in an area with good prospects for renewal, rising property values. Then sell in the future and the proceeds could go into a larger facility down the road.
  7. Well that's because it is! [hurrying to post correct pic lol]
  8. If I didn't know any better I'd think that Pensacola judicial building was the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Never been to either place, thanks for posting.
  9. Starbucks. What's the reasoning? Is there a prospective local place with a non-compete clause?
  10. I'm not sure what they cut back because the project's budget grew over the build timeline. I wish architects would do a better job rendering these aspects that are part of the issues that could have been corrected if the details were shown Well "cut back" or "skimped" or whatever, the retail design we're getting imho is very underwhelming as compared to the initial concept.
  11. If anyone on here knows anything they're sure being quiet about it. Welcome to the forum!

    Cant wait to head over there Sat. Go Monsters!!
  13. ^ I always thought the retail aspect of PS redesign was most important. And that's precisely the area where they had to cut back. I'm not going to let this ruin my day though lol. But yeah, I almost wish they simply delayed construction until they could come up with something better.

    ^ Apparently since I moved away from the east coast "NYC" has become more synonymous with "Manhattan."
  15. It pisses me off that Pitt has those segregated bike lanes and CLE does not.
  16. ^ This Tremont project reminded me of something......
  17. Is it cheaper to remove and replant trees every year than it is to take care of trees you already have? I'm pretty sure the cost of trees is very high, actually.

    I love Flagstaff. Apparently a lot of people speed right past it without realizing it's there. Thanks for posting ink!
  19. Are you referring to density and/or environmental restrictions?
  20. These results should be troubling to progressives touting West Coast planning, economic, and energy policies as models for the nation. If wealthy cities like San Francisco and Portland — where progressives have near-total political control — can't produce positive outcomes for working-class and middle-class blacks, why should we expect their approach to succeed anywhere else? Thought provoking article for sure. I totally get why it's important to track racial demographics. But I'm already leery of whatever race-based "solutions" some progressives are liable to suggest. Fair enough, but this article is a hit piece on "progressive planning", not an argument for it. Sure, I got that. I guess my question is what, if anything, should be done to prevent this migration? Also, the article narrowly focuses on black people, when the larger issue appears simply to be how rising property values affect non-affluent people of any skin tone.
  21. So true. Luckily the city is overflowing with cash!
  22. For the first time I've noticed how the angle of the walkway (heading NE) suggests a continuation toward the Malls. I wonder if that was intentional? Have seen a few presentations where linking PS and Malls was a short-term goal. Seems like a well-marked, angled crosswalk could likely further the connection.

  24. Went there yesterday. Highly recommend. Sandwiches and drinks. Outstanding decor. They r still ramping up, but I love the concept Good things happening along Lorain, for sure.
