Bump! Theres still 9 days to vote!

Thats right, they are pretty much strictly an exhibitions space, although Im kinda surprised they would limit themselves as such with people like Toby Lewis and important collectors such as Peter Lewis and Progressive in the area (well sort of). Especially given that Peter has put up so much funding for other contempory art museums, it seems like it should have been a natural fit here.

OTR, how do you get the number of votes, am I missing something? I work at the Trust and I cant figure it out!

Well I remember thinking that I didnt recall there being anything wrong with the plaza before. In fact I thought that they always had nice plantings in the summer. It would be a shame if they switched that out for concrete.

Good to hear. And your right about Danielle, Cleveland is fortunate that she came home where she belongs.

I have never heard anything about the Penton Media Building, but there was a bunch posted about One Cleveland Center when it was proposed and going through design review (I dont remeber where though). I have never taken a look since completed and didnt realize that it wouldnt make it better.

Awesome Mayday. I had a funny feeling you guys might be there. Was there anybody else notable at the Rock Hall? And did Betty actually go to the zoo? She made that commnet at Tower City about Cleveland's wonderful zoo.

Hot in Cleveland spinoff, right?

They're both doing well though (for Cleve. in this period of time). We just thought that Coltman was a superior product. The one we liked most (it was a bit unique from the others) sold within a week of when we were looking at it.. I dont think either will suffer in that area with so much going on.

Steve Popovich would turn over in his grave! He had offices in the building a few years back. Thus why I said that..............

I was wondering when we would hear something more about this, it seems like its been dragging on forever! That would certainly be great news for Mansfield, especially in the wake of another plant closing (yesterday), Shilo co.

Denzel had another commitment. He's the only other black actor that Hollywood can choose from (I mean, other than Chris Tucker, right?) /Sarc Tyler Perry is cast in the role. Denzel had another commitment. He's the only other black actor that Hollywood can choose from (I mean, other than Chris Tucker, right?) /Sarc Tyler Perry is cast in the role. Does Tyler Perry actually have any acting talent? I only know of him in roles doing drag, and producing black sitcoms that really arent very funny (but I guess they fill a niche?)

Dont forget that they will be tearing down the church at Detroit and Arthur for a "Relocated" CVS from a block away..

Well the source was whoever answers the phone there about renting out the space... "No longer available due to.........."

Yet another movie to be filmed in Cleveland this August!: Ohio film tax credit draws another movie shoot to ClevelandBy JAY MILLER 10:36 am, June 16, 2011 The Ohio film tax credit has attracted another movie shoot to Cleveland. “I, Alex Cross,” based on a book by mystery novelist James Patterson, will begin filming in Cleveland in August. “This is shaping up to be, far and away, the busiest summer for movie production in Cleveland history,” said Ivan Schwarz, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Film Commission, in a news release. http://www.crainscleveland.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110616/FREE/110619880

You'd think that would have been a given (by the nominator), but I guess one cant assume..... I submitted it for inclusion in Cool Cleveland, but it must not have been received in time (since it wasnt in there) Hopefully next week.

Well, when I met Bob Brown at a City Club event (which is fantastic by the way, the speakers are very interesting, and its a great way to network) we discussed how he got into urban planning. He told me that what first sent him down the path was "The Death and Life of Great American Cities", something we have in common (myself still being an undergraduate but nevertheless) Interesting that Bob forgot what the book was about... The process to designate the Detroit Theatre as a Landmark should have begun as soon as there was a wisper of this months ago. Maybe somebody/the group should contact the Cleveland Restoration Society for guidance here. How much are they asking for the building?

Heres the story from the Cleve.com Lakewood residents express concerns about potential McDonald's move to Detroit Theatre property Published: Wednesday, June 15, 2011, 9:25 PM Updated: Wednesday, June 15, 2011, 9:33 PM City administrators made it clear that the site is privately owned, has been for sale for years and is zoned for commercial use. They also made it clear that if McDonald's wants the property, they can not prevent them from acquiring it. "That's not the role of (City) Council or the administration in this instance," said Law Director and former Ward 1 councilmember Kevin Butler. http://www.cleveland.com/sunpostherald/index.ssf/2011/06/lakewood_residents_express_con.html

I have a feeling that the people that would be doing the boycotting are not really the people that patronize McDonalds anyways.

Also, the agreement allows slots at the racetracks. I guess that would be Thistledown in Cleveland, and I think allows the others to be moved to less (ha) gambling saturated areas (Youngstown and Dayton) to operate slots at those.

Thats too bad WestBLVD. Everything Ive read sounds like the mayor isnt really against it. So Im sure that doesnt help matters. Sickening situation.

Mr. Masek, are you able to address MTS question: "My question to Jerry is, What is the hierarchy of RTAs stations? Is there a station manager for each station or a Red Line Manager that handles things at the station level. Is there is a station manager for each station, is there contact information for him/her at each station so that riding public can contact them or RTA via the website."

Supposedly a brew pub is going into the remaing space in the Powerhouse.......!

Well I heard today the a brewpub is going into the Powerhouse at Battery Park... Along with the winebar... Maybe the one they were talking about for MODA?
