They plan to open FWD in mid-May each year and to operate on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights into October. They're also considering weekend afternoon hours, when the dance floor might become a space for lounging on daybeds in the sun. In the off-season, the owners would strip down the venue and store their equipment elsewhere, securing the property. I like that they're gearing for 5-6 month operation. But conflicted re: the limited hours and days. Is this the best use of prime real estate? Or is this just the nature of a venue within an entertainment district? I suppose at 15,000 sq ft it's arguably a small component of the overall plan.

Good Lord. Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer 1 hour ago @ciceropolo Thanks for your comment. As the article points out, there is no larger, master plan vision for this part of the lakefront. I would agree one is needed.

History shows that the entire North Coast Harbor area has grown through accretion in a series of ad hoc decisions. The result being little to no connection between the Rock Hall, Science Center and Stadium. Problems to be addressed in the future, where good planning would've saved time and money. Given this narrow window I'm thinking money would've been better spent improving E 9th. For the North Coast Harbor/Mall connector there just doesn't seem to be enough time to have something that's both iconic AND well thought out.

because its the internet. And im critical of the process as theres only the gerbil tube rendering.

If you look at the history of bad urban planning I'm certain the words "limited budget" and "narrow timeline" are common ingredients. Here we go again.

Correct. For the time being there's still a ton of space with a whole lotta nothing.

It was good until the end. I thought it ended rather strangely and abruptly. It ended strangely and abruptly because she's terrible. She's a terrible writer.

^ No worries. You can thank me by demanding more Dollar General in the survey ha ha.

There is a very popular surfers hostel in Holland. http://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/stay-in-a-lifeboat-capsule-hotel-at-a-surf-commune-fast-in-the-hague

All I get is a server error message. Yeah me too. Just go to the downtowncleveland.com/cleretail link above and click on the survey that way.

Serious question: is it normal for new places to call themselves "Club ______" It seems like this kinda name was popular in the 80's.

I didn't see this coming.

The State Route 2 eastbound exit ramp to Edgewater Park is scheduled to close on Monday, July 14, 2014 and will reopen late-November, 2014. The closure is part of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s West 73rd Street Extension project and is necessary to construct the ramp on a new alignment. Motorists will detour via the West 45th Street exit ramp to Detroit Avenue to West 49th Street to Herman Avenue to SR 2 westbound. Don't do this if you suspect any sort of traffic on the Shoreway. It's far safer to keep going east on Detroit Ave and turn left at W25th to SR 2 westbound. The entrance ramp on West 49th is congested, and dangerous.

I like that idea. I expect there are environmental issues with the Greyhound property. Why would CSU want to take that on? There's long been sentiment that the Greyhound attracts an undesirable element in which students felt unsafe. I'm sure that's part of it.

Nice. The downtown makeover continues!

In addition to the makeover of Public Square, the Group Plan Commission aims to add landscaping enhancements to the Mall, the 12.5-acre green roof of the city's new convention center, plus a pedestrian walkway from the northeast corner of the Mall to attractions at North Coast Harbor. Paris said that $25 million has been raised to date for the pedestrian bridge, including $10 million from the city, $10 million from the county, and $5 million from the state of Ohio. He said the process to seek a designer for the bridge could begin soon. I know this isn't the bridge thread, but this sounds like there's hope to perhaps get something better than the current renderings.

I have a suspicion that a certain continent on this forum wants Tesla. Asia? Damn it!!! You know what I mean lol.
