  1. Are these all low-rise buildings being proposed?

    Yikes. Sad and scary. Now I actually feel bad for cursing at him every time he tears up a perfectly good hardwood floor.
  3. With the drinking age being 18 you can bet on a lot of young travelers lol. Also with marijuana legalized, heck, this could be quite a tourism draw.
  4. I never mentioned these were the delay factors. Just that they're interesting points that fostered a lot of discussion.
  5. Easy. It's a 1. massive proposal of 2. an architecturally polarizing design by 3. a controversial and flamboyant developer in 4. a city that's desperate for such things. It's a perfect storm.
  6. Haha. I remember at the time it was considered "bold" and "different."

  8. This guy has a good rep Lakewood Lawncare 216-410-7399
  9. If anything, this project from day 1 has taught us to take absolutely nothing at face value lol.
  10. Well, I don't think the current design is really a laneway, but as @Boxtruffles said I was referring to the Melbourne and Barcelona? examples cited in the original brochures.
  11. That's quite a bit different than the conceptual ideas that were originally presented.
  12. The laneway ideas were good ones. It's unfortunate the concept didn't seem to survive into the final design.
  13. Nice! Please consider adding the Towpath Trail, Lake Link Trail, Edgewater Beach House, former US Coast Guard Station, & Wendy Park redesign. https://www.land-studio.org/project/wendy-park-redesign

    Hmm, I don’t remember anything racy. Well, David Crosby did refer to himself as an a-hole haha.

    ^ Mesmerizing!!!!

    Didn't see Bob doc, but this one is by his son Jakob. I saw it in the theater last week. Really really good!!!!
  17. I for one, find the continuing transformation of Edgewater to be quite stunning. These pics are proof that Cleveland is very much rediscovering itself a coastal city. It wasn't so long ago when locals were un-ironically voting for it as "worst beach in America."
  18. Quite the photo essay for Edgewater Park on Cleveland.com. And....I can’t copy/paste the link.
  19. ^ Wow. That promo video looks sorta like a cheesy pharmaceuticals ad.
  20. I'm fairly certain a once prolific UO'er is behind this one. I'll reach out to him.
  21. Should be a good city job opening up. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2019/06/founder-of-clevelands-heartless-felons-now-a-city-of-cleveland-employee-accused-of-threatening-co-worker.html
  22. Was in town for a wedding this weekend and met up with some friends who just moved into the Quarter. Check this out: there's always a free keg of beer there for residents at the pool. Really cool huh?
  23. Right lol. It looks like a cool city built atop Mayan ruins.
  24. As a driver, I prefer this new setup vs. waiting at the traffic lights, which on this busy stretch used to back up traffic considerably. But I'll agree to the extent that yes, the islands and lane reduction and the pedestrian crossing signals (not pictured) and clearly marked crosswalks, they all work in tandem and are necessary. And it's not complicated for pedestrians at all. It's actually much nicer walking along outdoor patios, etc.
