Yes, equally disappointed! Does anybody know if this is it, or if there are more to be announced in the future. Also, not sure where the E. Cleveland one came from (yes, in the list of many was probably there), and wouldnt imagine it would have the greatest impact if they were only funding 3 projects.

I agree with matches on this. What Freethink is saying is true, but could be said for just about anywhere, especially the current proposals underway for the flats etc.... If Scranton is done right it should incorporate some unique housing. Building something just to build a legacy doesnt necessarily mean anything if you dont incorporate reasons for people to be there (live there)

Ive been reading the Urban Ohio/Cleveland forum for a while now (religiously), but have not posted until now. I grew up, and lived in and around Cleveland for most of my life and now live in DC, for about 6 years now. I have seen DaninDC postings on every Cleveland subject, spewing negative Cleveland this and that. It is living in DC that really made me appreciate what Cleveland is and has. I have never particularly liked living in DC and haved longed to be back in Cleveland ever since I came here. Aside from a good job market, I have seen DC as nothing more than a vile place, full of people that want to be/feel important at any cost, and have no common courtesy whatsoever. The racial tensions and crime are out of control, and because it is a single personality city, seems to lack a creative class. Although better than when I moved here, I have been appalled by the low standards in just about every aspect, because either nobody cares or lacks any real attachment/investment in what kind of city it is. I have always had to come to Cleveland to find great (original) restaurants etc..., good service, fun times and interesting, friendly people. I think DaninDC has gotten a little caught up in everything that I dislike about DC and maybe needs to keep the size of his head in check. Im hoping to return to Cleveland to live in the near future, in order to "raise" my standard of living once again. I think in order to really appreciate and like living in DC depends on whats really important to you, and what I have seen out of Dan tells me everything about him. Dan, stay in DC, it is for you! I plan to contribute to the site often in the future and will look forward to challenging Dan in the future. Will
