My parent's house is geothermal. It's amazing.

JESUS CHRIST, LISTEN TO THEM!

I see no beach.

I noticed that too one time too, but when I came back a few hours later it was packed. It must be really hit-or-miss.

The last one's the best.

If the market demands something besides this style of a restaurant, it'll come. Whatever store or restaurant or whatever you guys think deserves this spot over CR is obviously not ready or needed yet. I do, however, agree that another restaurant is going to start over saturating that entire area.

When was it ever a cute Italian-American suburb? Like 1940 - 1980.

^Honestly, Canal Winchester is even worse than Medina or Lebanon. It's absolutely disgusting, the Wal*Mart is the most sprawltastic one I've ever seen in my life and the main drag (I can't recall the name) is atrocious.

Great thread. Ravenna has sort of let itself go; it used to be an incredibly cute Italian-American suburb, but now it's just a sh!t hole full of welfare collecting single mothers and meth addicts. But Main Street still manages to look nice!

Today I heard some Brazilian woman discussing to a lady on the Rapid that she came to Cleveland because she wanted to see how an average American city worked. She was really nice and complimented the city a lot.

Don't you guys know the world's ending in 2012 anyway?

^Somehow I don't think that last sentence is true.

Especially if you were to try to compare a city like Columbus (212.6 square miles) to a city like Cleveland (82.4 square miles).

Well, namely, Tower City. And I'm really hoping all this new construction around it will help the mall since it's struggling so hard right now.

Wow, thank you! This is a very new and interesting read, I've never seen it posted on Urban Ohio before and I think everyone will really appreciate you posting this!

^What a brilliant shot.

It looks like a giant multicoloured Barney in a wheelchair. You can ~explain~ art until you're blue in the face, but unless it's even a bit aesthetically pleasing, no one is going to care.

That thing is so disgusting. Throw it in the lake.

On the bright side, this will probably be a well-needed boost to Tower City, right?

Someone please tell me why CleveX is located in Columbus.

Cleveland is the "big city" of Ohio to non-Ohioans. That's why it seems to be the grandest to the majority of the country, IMO.

Or I get yelled at if I try to take my two 75-pound suitcases with me on the bus :(

All I'm saying is that I am having a hard time picturing myself or anyone I know (even the Christians) feeling at all comfortable in such an establishment. It sounds like a fine idea for somewhere else, but it's bizarre that it's going to be at such a prominent location. Oh well, the project probably will never even get off the ground, so what am I complaining about?

^Doesn't it say four linked buildings? So it probably won't be very large.

Even as a practising Catholic, I can't see how this would be good unless they really kept their religious affiliation on the downlow. I don't see downtown populations as particularly religious people either... I dunno, I am just going to be kind of cautious before I welcome to openly.
