Dang, those buildings look rather dirty, except for Hotel Cleveland which had just been recently built.

That will look much nicer on a sunny day.

And Cleveland was the 5th largest city in the US at the time.

Easier said than done. It will require a plan. Building suburban-style homes haphazardly on vacant lots is not the solution.

Maybe that was intentional due to the site's proximity to the river.

Money talks.

Events like those are once in a blue moon, assuming they would even come to Cleveland, especially the last two.

But wait, there will be more changes at the ballpark after this season, right? What will be happening besides replacing the rest of the green seats?

Clock needed more for batters than pitchers. I was more annoyed with batters stepping out after every pitch to take practice swings and adjust everything on their body.

I have mixed feelings. Euclid is so tight now with the bus lanes. The setback allows more space in front of the building. But it does look a little awkward. Hopefully 668 can do something with that ugly side.

Seems like they could expand the 900' zone a bit.

Maybe this will result in Cliffs building that new skyline changing HQ.

But he won't come back to the Guardians.

Cleveland pro sports teams are definitely cursed. As for the 2016 Cavs, I'm convinced there was some divine intervention there.

Thanks @Geowizical. Those shots will look better once that skyline changing hotel/residential development is completed.

The former nuCLEus site would be a great location for a skyline changing hotel/residential development.

You can now play Pickleball at Public Hall. https://www.clevescene.com/news/you-can-now-play-pickleball-at-cleveland-public-hall-44041078?fbclid=IwAR12MLQ-kmqcWgSRB4WXHsT0s3MBSa_ZBPyCBmCqPjsPyHcUrth8HVF46q8_aem_AWGiFyaEUS_TDYtrmJ_ASy8uprprIsBPIj0tmuE4ngdeZh2HUY8Oi6meI01V0TeSv-oI5T4nE98_mBYUM7RlEGzv

A Super Bowl is bigger than those. It's not just the game but all the activities in the week prior to Super Bowl Sunday. I'm not sure too many out-of-town folks would be excited about spending a week in Cleveland in mid-February. And then there is the aforementioned hotel situation.

I would prefer seeing Cleveland playing in a Super Bowl rather than Cleveland hosting a Super Bowl.

Doesn't IKEA prefer building their stores on virgin land?

They could move the correctional facility elsewhere and open up that space for parking or ballpark village.

Yes, but it is probably less urgent without a stadium. I would think the shoreway reconfiguration plan needs to be determined before proceeding with a land bridge. That section of E 9th is not very pedestrian friendly. I assume that's why you say it's an embarrassment. Perhaps closing the westbound entrance to the shoreway and the eastbound exit to E 9th would help.

What about the site by Gordon Park where the old CEI/First Energy plant was razed. Is that a possibility? It's not downtown, but at least it's in Cleveland.
