^ How the hell can one have FOUR robbery convictions and not be in prison?

My great grandfather on my dads side worked there for years. I luckily found his ID badge in a box my dad was throwing away. I've never seen the place up close. Thanks for posting!!

Great news! Re: trash control, it took a while before Gordon Square and W. 25th got going on this.

Echoing that statement. Thank's Enzo.

Saw some activity buzzing around yesterday. Looked like they were installing drywall into the ground floor retail space. Also, parked east 19th and walked down St. Clair for the first time, what a ghost town.

edit> orig. picture changed to present Julien as congenial and approachable.

Ha! Julien's a personal friend of mine and I can assure you he's the furthest thing from a db you can imagine. Well, he's as okay as you can get being a weak-kneed Hollywood LIBERAL. :wave: I'm not going to stick up for that outfit however.

Shut the front door. Ha!

Damn. Well, it's good to know that there was at least some official vision for what should be.

^^ It actually happened last week. Was holding out hope it was towed by accident. ^ Right. I wasn't paying attention one night (too cold) and I hurriedly opened the car door and started my Civic...with my wife's Saturn key!

Wouldn't a well-placed, well-designed parking garage be a good investment for the entire district? I think so. Coventry should be the template for this neighborhood, not Rocky River. It's sad that sprawling surface lots are still viewed as necessary component for growth.

Well, a co-worker had his Honda Accord stolen from a lot just east of Galleria. We first thought it might've been towed for some violation. Nope...gone. He's from Detroit. That will team him to move to the CLE!

UA has been frustratingly slow to embrace good urban design.

See post #562.

The fact I predicted something this bad is of no solace. Sure, as KJP's article says nothing's been decided...yet. This drawing should be met quickly with derision. If it is not, well then, how special is the neighborhood really if the residents don't voice an opinion?

I think you've entered the wrong room. Why the hatred on my Golden Flashes?? I'm sure you could guess the source of the hate! And don't say "jealousy." Though that's part of it ha ha.

Seems like a certain overrated Democrat politician is especially excited about the ads: John Kasich Criticized Over Jobs Ohio Ads http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/21/john-kasich-jobs-ohio-ads_n_2170694.html

^^^ Is that road salt corroding the bridge in that rendering?

GO HUSKIES!!!!

^ Agree this is very good to see, even with the somewhat controversial design. What's intriguing is that there is still so much room for the campus to grow.

It's actually somewhat of an upgrade from the 2nd set of renderings, believe it or not. Agree. But still nowhere near good enough for that prominent location.

Where is that? Lakewood Plaza. Which consequently, features a barbwire fence connected to the adjacent building, I believe it's the Masonic bldg. How's that for a beautiful main street?!?!

Good to hear. Welp, unfortunately I'm guessing we still don't have this on the books in Lakewood. Here's the beautiful, new and much heralded Discount Drug Mart on Detroit Ave in the heart of downtown. Those narrow horizontal slots are the windows.

I truly wish there was some kind of workable, wall-to-window ratio required in building codes. Having a blank (or mostly blank) wall along a street shouldn't be allowed in 2012.
