Agreed to a certain point, but those were built with old growth wood, true 2x dimensional lumber, different building construction standards all throughout. It's comparing apples to.... well rotten apples i guess. These new buildings are built cheap, and are not built to last. They are built, to stabilize financially, be sold, and be tore down and new ones built.

Can someone explain to me why the STATE senate has any say over COUNTY taxes?!? Columbus controlling way too much of Cleveland's decisions. This one i just don't understand, any tax experts out there?

Absolutely. They are maximizing the height code allows for wood construction, which is much cheaper than steel or concrete, and the labor is more readily available. Not sure what the lifespan of these buildings are. 30 years, maybe 50, just a guess. A concrete building will be here 100 years from now.

thought the same thing, but I assume it's because there is no plan to build a dome on the lakefront, and this graphic is specific to domed stadiums?

Stan was incorrect - ABR presentation says 298.

That first sentence is absolutely not true.

Marika's not an architect. To be accurate she says she's an architectural designer.

The project received zoning approval. It's not a new parking garage, they are actually using a large piece of the existing warehouse to the south of the Westinghouse building as a parking garage. Basically renovating the existing warehouse building that they were planning on tearing down and creating a parking lot, and undeveloped land. The warehouse will be cleaned up, decorative exterior lighting added to it to accent the brick columns and decorative brick work, and entry points, with storefront and canopies, created across from each new apartment building for access. It received unanimous approval, and city design review committee applauded the reuse of existing warehouse construction rather than creating a parking lot.

Saw this on Facebook just now.... City of Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson and Ohio Governor John Kasich recently announced that funding for a vital lakefront development link is confirmed, allowing the West 73rd Street connector to Edgewater Park to begin construction in 2013. The new underpass project supports the ongoing economic and community development of the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood and helps put people to work. This project supports Mayor Jackson’s vision of opening up the City’s lakefront to residents, businesses and visitors and ensuring that all of Cleveland is connected to its most vital natural asset – Lake Erie.

It's quite impressive, you can see it from Eddy road on the freeway.

Unique thrift on Lorain just east of Fulton. Suite Lorain's, (i think it's still there) on Lorain, east of 65th, can't remember the exact address. There's also a Unique thrift store somewhere in the Biddulph plaza off of Ridge. I know they have furniture, but I think there is a clothing store there also. Tons of vintage in Cleveland/Lakewood on Detroit

I really hope this doesn't change the cost of food/drinks even worse than it is. 5 years ago you could get cheap food/drink now it's like being on west 6th. That's not why people go down there, for fine dining.

Yes the project is under construction. Footers are to be poured in the next couple of weeks.

I love this, because it starts to extend that renovation of Detroit further west. I've always thought that these buildings were the next logical progression of rehab.

Sunday morning on the Tom Beres "Between the Lines" portion of the news on WKYC they were talking about the delay of the opening, and they were all pretty sure that the temporary space would be opened ahead of time, and the city is definitely pushing for this. Their comments were that we would most likely be the first ones out of the gate with this temporary casino and that would be a positive thing.
