The lights looked nice and there were lots of people there on this beautiful spring night, but the show certainly didn't give them anything to come back to or even tell their friends about. It would be better if they removed the destination cleveland narration entirely and just let the lights and music run. The narration is so tacky. There's definitely potential there, but destination cleveland needs to get out of its own way.

They are definitely still working on the ground floor, so it seems likely.

New apartments on w6th finally opening up for tenants. These have been in the works for a while now, they look nice. Eta: here's what that qr code links out to https://hpmpm.appfolio.com/listings/detail/8bff4f51-4c12-4323-ba10-16942cae65b2

Another sunny day view, this time from settlers landing.

Now I'm drivin the bus

lookin good from the Harp

Yep

I chatted with the owner (I think) the other day when I was walking by. It sounds like it's gonna be NY style pizza by the slice and desserts, not sure what kind. He'd been living in the neighborhood and noted the lack of late night food options when people are coming out of the bars, so is hoping to fill that gap. Can't wait!

New bar going above Tomo on w9th opening next weekend

Agreed that these individual street closings aren't the Big Win, but hopefully more and more successfully pedestrianized pockets like E4th, Market St, etc. will start to add interest in and support for these larger changes.

It looks like a quick flip of a weird old building, not a brand new building built to be apartments.

They should build HQ2 even taller than HQ1, make that the big tower.

View today from the Phoenix on St Clair

I'll be there if I can sneak away from work!

Anyone know what's going on with the casino? It's been walled off for months with nothing going on in there other than pulling out the 'planters', which was done pretty much as soon as the fencing went up.

Thank you, this is much more thoughtfully worded than my initial post and was indeed what I was going for. I was being glib for sure, and I don't think downtown should be hostile towards visitors, but that our infrastructure shouldn't be built around their cars.

Downtown should not be designed around the convenience of people that don't live here.

Everyone go to Luna so we can convince them to stay open on the weekends too. I've gone both mornings its been open and I'll probably go back tomorrow. The foods great, I've had the breakfast burrito and the almond croissant - both very tasty and there's lots left on the menu I want to try. I've only done take out so far, but the vibes are good. I could see myself doing some work in here or, fingers crossed, grabbing an easy weekend brunch.

Peekin over tennis in the land

Nice to see the core cut in again! Is this the last time it narrows or do we have one more to go?
