How utterly asinine.

^ I tried some google image searches but couldn't find the good ones. I do believe there are some posted on this very thread. Really, I barely recognized it as Breuer Tower.

^ If that's the case perhaps they'll place a sort of town square for the time being.

Ever see historic pics of the building? Really cool looking. In fact, seeing those original images got me to really like the building a lot more.

Thanks, I vaguely remember a loft concept some place. Good to know.

Your color guard statue shot is amazing! Thanks for the tour!

Digging this. Memory escaping me...what's to become of the grass block in the middle of BP? Is that still undecided?

getting so off topic, but you guys have me thinking of the welcome back kotter intro.

As a manager who is working 12 hours on a Sunday, reading this comment made me sad. And.....I just found out one of the new employees I've been successfully motivating today is a frequent, longtime poster on Urban Ohio. Twilight Zone! p.s. I'm sensing a powerful alliance growing, even though he stated I'm not "well-liked" on the forum. p.s.s. Topic of discussion today at work: Albert Belle's missing bat aka "The Jason Bourne/Grimsley incident" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Bat_Burglary

Yes! Cleveland needs more of anything that's colorful downtown. The sooner the better. Even commercial advertisements add a whole lot of vibrancy when done well. We're not a bland city, we just look that way lol. p.s. will give specs on the alley asap.

Really digging Mikal Cronin track - Weight. Annnnd he's playing tonite at Case Western Reserve University. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15179-mikal-cronin-weight/

I sorta have a soft spot for "The Wizard" ha ha.

My experience in San Fran was like that. I've got my eye on a certain alleyway downtown. I think it has potential! We can pool our money.

Just saw a couple make the turn from Prospect onto E. 4th. "I like this street....A LOT" said the girl in her Southern accent.

As long as the water stays on this earth, I don't see how it's possible to permanently remove it from the water cycle. Once injected the wastewater is no longer capable of supplying streams, rivers, lakes, or even underground reservoirs. If you read pro-fracking literature, it's no big deal. If you read anti-fracking material, it is a big deal. As in this article, one can reason that the weight of the issue can be affected by whether the specific location is water plentiful or not. That's also the contention of my friend who is a hydrologist. But again, I've no idea either way, I just read and hear stuff. And my friend is constantly wrong about other things lol, so who knows. http://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2013/02/14/water-use-in-fracking-draws-legislatures-attention/

From what I understand permanently removing water from the water cycle is a controversial practice. I know of no other instance where this occurs other than with fracking.

Very cool to get a glimpse into some literary history! p.s. Cuba...looks so gritty and interesting.

They are probably going to have to pay for it themselves. The city has called this the Lakefront Multimodal Transportation Center, but's its really just a walkway with a parking deck in the middle of it. Having doorways in the parking deck that open up in the directions of the Amtrak station and the GCRTA Waterfront Line station don't constitute intermodalism. The US Department of Transportation has seen through that each time, yet the city keeps submitting the same project. All Aboard Ohio supports this project, but it could be so much better if the city worked a little more closely with Amtrak and GCRTA to incorporate some low-cost linkages to them, much of which Amtrak was willing to pay for. I'd really like to see something a little more ambitious in design and functionality. At least now there's maybe a chance of improvement. After all the gerbil tube may be short-sighted plan with Skywalk-esque results if the Shoreway is ever actually converted to a more friendly boulevard. Perhaps a comprehensive look at all factors including future development and Shoreway restructuring would be wise. For instance, what other infrastructural solutions are there to bringing downtown and the lake together? Make it realistic; I remember a few hyper ambitious though unrealistic concepts out there.

I noticed this walking by yesterday, too. I didn't think anything of it. They may just be altering their marquee. If anything serious was happening to P&F we'd know about it. I hope not, I rather like the signage. Was worried there was a surprise name/business change like "Cadillac Ranch II" or something.

More of this please!

What's up with the pickwick and frolic sign? Saw a guy up there with a sawzall yesterday really going at it.

Oh kay.... Proof That Fracking’s Aftermath Led to 109 Ohio Earthquakes By Slate V Staff Posted Thursday, Sept. 5, 2013 http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending/2013/09/05/fracking_causes_earthquakes_scientists_offer_proof_in_new_study_of_ohio.html

Just think of it as like the first 40 minutes of Major League.

Well you gotta hope that Swisher and Cabrera start playing up to their abilities. That's key. With those two being productive it changes the entire dynamic of the lineup.
