OHIO'S Coney Island? That's not what I was expecting!

Or maybe you're just a bit leery of the "South Beach flair" that they want to bring to 925 haha.

My mom was raised in Northeast Ohio (Wooster) but lived in Pittsburgh for 5 years after that. For the next forty years she then proceeded to take "Yinz" with her to California and New Jersey. p.s. I'll drink "melk" over "meeeillk" any day.

Looked like a charming little building with lots of memories therein. Sorry to see it go.

I'm so sick of Pittsburgh, and whatever witch doctors they have employed.

More evidence that distribution of alcohol is simply an antiquated racket that needs to be done away with asap. Anyhow, I'd much rather support the smaller breweries vs. soulless corporate giant InBev. The King of Beers Wants to Push Craft Brews out of Your Supermarket —By Tom Philpott | Wed Dec. 9, 2015 http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2015/12/big-beer-wants-take-away-your-craft-beer

So...you support this? If so, go ahead and make a case.

Mike Holmgren is living proof that the Browns are an economic goldmine.

^ That doesn't look like good street interaction.

What more evidence do you need that government mismanagement has continually screwed up the lakefront?

But barbed wire fencing is a hallmark of our coastline lol. That and industrial rubble...maybe those things should also get historic preservation status.

I happen to think the public money going into PS is money well spent, but I agree with you that it's a perfectly valid criticism. I may start a new thread all about spending priorities, because the issue keeps coming up in various project-specific discussions. Our county in particuler has been awash in discretionary money over the past 10 years or so. It's astounding that there's not a greater retail component to this project. This is prime real estate with unrivaled foot traffic; lease some of that damn space out as a revenue generator. It's hardly rocket science.

^ Nice to see. Sandusky has so much potential, I really love the place.

The 9 guidelines for the design of London Tube stations  DEC 08 2015 Transport for London recently released a document called the London Underground Station Design Idiom, a guide to the design aesthetic of Tube stations. After an introductory chapter called "A manifesto for good design", the document offers nine main guidelines for how Underground stations should be designed: http://kottke.org/15/12/the-9-guidelines-for-the-design-of-london-tube-stations

Nice to skim through these well-thought out plans. Only thing missing are the potential lake views from A1, B2 and C1. They should be pretty nice.

Agreed. Will definitely miss those windows. But on the bright side the conversion looks stunning. Let's start the petition to bring back that great big coffee pot to Van Rooy.

You bring up an interesting point. Should a city fight to retain poverty level residents who would otherwise be moving away? In my opinion, a large percentage of those residents, especially the younger ones, would love the opportunity to make $15/hour to work in a manufacturing facility with advancement opportunities. I think a lot of folks believe that many people in the inner city are lazy, un-educated, and un-willing to work. That's not true. Many just don't have opportunity simply because, in my opinion, the city caters to growing high-skilled, white collar jobs in the medical and software industry versus manufacturing/blue collar jobs. I understand that this boils down to a state and federal issue with regard to legislation and tax burdens. However, at the same time, I don't think the region has been "generous" enough, within their power, to retain manufacturing. Agree that many in the inner city are quite the opposite of lazy, uneducated and unwilling to work. Regarding lack of opportunity, I guess my question is, at what point does personal responsibility dictate moving to where there is a better chance for employment? And what realistic effort can or should the city employ to retain residents?

For a long while I thought CLE outlawed status monitors.

If you think I'm Triv, then may a pox be on your house! I thought surfohio was addressing PHS14, not you. Correct. No pox upon me or my house required lol.

That non call was utterly ridiculous. However I was in a crowded bar that was 95 percent Portland fans and so there wasn't much complaining going on.

Wow what a disappointing start. I'm glad the Crew were able to make the game interesting. Next year!

Scranton (from Fairfield to Carter) and Carter (from Scranton to Columbus) are getting overhauled starting early next year. New pavement, curbs and sidewalks. Finally. Good to hear. You think Maker Architects would've been instructed to "pave" that road via photoshop for marketing purposes.

Rest assured that the league geniuses will come up with 17 new rules to fix this.
