Giving it a new name makes sense. It would eliminate a lot of confusion. And maybe they can give it a good cleaning too.

It certainly is nice to see those surface lots gone. But I would have preferred it being taller and tapered towards the top. One thing that bothers me is how Key Tower dominates the skyline, kind of like an extended middle finger. ☺️ Well, maybe we will see something tallish on the nuCLEus site eventually.

Willie will be 90 next month.

Good idea! It might be a better attraction than the national park experience. Quaker Square in Akron had a model train exhibit (it was actually in a separate building) but I don't know if still exists.

Well I suppose it depends on the zoning. Street level retail might not be permitted in some residential areas.

Lumen II? No, that wouldn't be a mini-bomb.

I went to brunch at Pier W last Sunday. It was $59 each + tax + gratuity. Ouch!

Paying employees at fast food eateries $15+/hr has consequences.

FES? Also Public Hall. Both are underused.

I really don't like the idea of attaching a new structure to the iconic front of the building. I'd prefer that they just expand it underground. I thought that was the plan when expansion was first being discussed several years ago.

Mailing address is 101 W Prospect.

I thought it was mentioned on this site a while back that construction costs in Cleveland are higher than in other cities. If so, could that be a factor?

And I assume the next person parking at a meter doesn't get credit for any time that might be remaining on the meter, which means more money for the city.

I think they have enough guitars and articles of clothing in there already. How much more space do they need?

Now that Euclid has been revitalized, let's do the same on Prospect.

It would be nice if they could do something with that ugly backside. Maybe add some reflective glass panels that light up at night with various colors. The top floor of the tower is a waste. Perhaps they can add some windows and convert it to a lounge. I.M. Pei (aka I M Well Paid) should have tweaked the design a bit when they moved to the harbor.

I am hoping #2 happens in my lifetime. Burke is an underutilized airport and a waste of lakefront property. It is also an impediment to development on both sides. CAK can be designated as a reliever for CLE if necessary. I am starting to agree with #6. Perhaps a better idea would be to basically leave the shoreway as-is, but remove the entrance/exit ramps at E 9th. This would allow for wider sidewalks and make E 9th much more pedestrian friendly. If needed, a new shoreway access point could be added to the east, perhaps at or near E 18th. This would alleviate the need for #5, which would be a rather expensive project. And I'm not sure what it would accomplish as there would still be rail tracks separating downtown from the lakefront.

Kind of like Vermilion Lagoons? http://www.vermilionlagoons.net/

I would have preferred the protrusions to be aligned rather than random, but oh well. It will certainly look better than a surface parking lot.

♫ ♪ East End boys, West End girls. ♫ ♪ I thought I heard that the phase 2 tower to the west might be happening relatively soon to provide space for companies with whom SHW does business.

We will be expecting periodic updates. 😉
