  1. Maybe some of you have seen this, I never have. But it is an awsome student film from 1968 mostly about Tremont but opens with a profile of downtown at that time. Very cool. Tremont: An Architectural process. http://flash.ulib.csuohio.edu/cmp/general/tremont.html
  2. City of Cleveland moving to convert 67,000 street lamps to LED. http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2015/07/city_of_cleveland_moving_towar.html#incart_river
  3. Not everyone knows that Alternative Press magazine was founded and has flourished in Cleveland for over 30 years. Tomorrow the 2nd annual AP Awards will be broadcast live from the 'Q' on AXS TV. This is an international music event that many cities would pay big money for. Hopefully it can stay here a long time. Check out the event page at AXS as there are a lot of bands downtown right now and some of them are posting Instagram's from there time here. http://www.axs.tv/apmas/

  5. Pretty much just a puff piece from WKYC as we knew about the possible Sept start when the project was announced. The only thing we learned is the name of a possible tenant. Pace said he wanted local retailers. But I can't find anything about City Cycle. It will be interesting to hear who the restauranteur might be.

  20. Some good info. Developer's 'dream' venture could be big for lakefront Thirty years ago, a young architect named Richard Pace was a staffer on an early planning study for developing downtown Cleveland's lakefront at the north end of East Ninth Street. There was no Rock Hall, no Great Lakes Science Center and no pond-like inner harbor there. As of June 16, the same architect (now turned real estate developer) in a joint venture with Dallas real estate development firm Trammell Crow Co. executed an option with the city of Cleveland to go beyond the plans for the same strip of Lake Erie coastline and to build on it retail, office and apartment structures. “This is fulfilling a dream,” Pace said last Wednesday, June 24, as he discussed business terms for one of the most long-awaited real estate developments in the city's history. “We're farther along than anyone else has gotten in the last 50 years.” In broad outline, the city's terms allow the developers to pay up as they put up projects. City spokesman Daniel Ball confirmed the developers put no money down as they executed the option this month. Instead, the developers will be subject to payments as they lease each of six phases surrounding the city's North Coast Harbor. The biggest cost they stand to have to pay is a minimum of $22.4 million over 50 years to replace parking revenue the city receives from the properties on the west side of the harbor north of FirstEnergy Stadium. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20150628/NEWS/306289986/developers-dream-venture-could-be-big-for-lakefront
  21. One holdup is the Children's Museum which occupies the current space. The Beckwith Mansion in Midtown which is to be their future home is still in the process of obtaining funds/tax credits for it's renovation. They are looking for Historic tax credits, idk if they are in this current round(14) which are to be announced by 6/30.
  22. I don't know if they added another webcam or maybe I just never noticed -view #4- before.
  23. Well this is probably just speculative, but maybe something is going on. Never know. *Property Highlights: Brand new construction to include multiple retail opportunities Approximately 0.88 acres of land located at the intersection of E. 12th St. & St. Clair Ave. http://www.passovgroup.com/listings/cleveland-one-cleveland-center-land/
