Forget Ohio... at this rate, we can make this the most documented construction project in Midwestern history

A couple more angles from today…

Two proposed apartment developments on Lorain Ave. would bring 200+ units, get mixed feedback Residents and city officials questioned developer My Place Group about parking, apartment affordability, design, and more. https://thelandcle.org/stories/proposed-lorain-ave-apartments-45-west-50-west-go-to-city-landmarks-commission-get-mixed-feedback/

Probably in the minority here but I agree, here’s the wall with another one of her paintings I really don’t think it looks too bad…

This mural really is the final step in Public Square’s transformation into a real “place” Disclaimer: I have no idea what the actual mural would look like Also sorry for the sloppy photoshop job, I did this on my phone

Can’t even argue with that… I totally believed this mess of a crosswalk was an issue with the “photosphere” until I remembered the city isn’t competent enough to put colored pavers in a straight line edit: copying the photo because this rolled over to a new page

23-unit historic building near Shaker Square gets total rehab from local owner, offers affordable rents https://thelandcle.org/stories/23-unit-historic-building-near-shaker-square-gets-total-rehab-from-local-owner-offers-affordable-rents/

Historic apartment renovation near Irishtown Bend, West Side Market gets nod from landmarks commission https://thelandcle.org/stories/historic-apartment-renovation-near-irishtown-bend-west-side-market-gets-nod-from-landmarks-commission/

I feel like it all depends how much they choose to customize the lighting for each theatre at night. During the day, I’d expect them to look about the same except for different fonts/styling, but I’m just glad the Allen and Connor Palace are getting “real” marquees

Activity on Hessler apartments?

April 2023 update on The Davis Apartment homes: Townhomes site:

I wholeheartedly agree. Sure, open grass can be great in parks large enough for activities like frisbee, dog walking, etc. but for smaller plazas/“pocket parks” hardscaping allows pedestrians more freedom of movement and increases the amount of usable space for things like vendors and street performers. On a rainy day, cutting across wet, muddy grass is an absolute nightmare, both for pedestrians’ shoes and for the landscaping that gets trampled (walking across Public Square southeast from Ontario provides an example of why this is sometimes necessary; people don’t like to take unnecessarily longer routes in heavy rain). The renovation of City Hall Plaza in Boston is an excellent example of how hardscaped plazas can become greener and increase shade without sacrificing pedestrian accessibility:

Looks like they all have 2-car garages, plus street parking. Living downtown, some people might not even find a car necessary, especially once the Superior Midway is complete. https://knez.net/communities/avenue-phase-2/
