^ha! It obviously is. Sorry, must have had art on the brain. Fixed.

I believe it is :D

I had no frikin idea... Here's the map with what the new footprint will look like: Case has the money to fully rehab the existing building...very exciting!

Some more progress. Elevator foundation in the back seems to be getting close to competition

After doing that darn Critical Mass, I've been inspired to ride my bike around... All I had on me was my iphone, but here are a few other random pics of UC today (note: check out the Uptown and Cleveland Clinic threads for other pics of today). 1) Tudor Arms Doubletree Hotel: Note: new "Doubletree" signage: 2) I'm liking the looks of this signage on Circle 118! 3) Cleveland Natural History Museum "Smarthouse:" 4) Random -- so when can we put a storefront in this place?? (one block from Uptown, across from CIA)

UPDATED pics of Uptown today:

UPDATE on the Cleveland Clinic Innovation Laboratory: In relation to Maron's Doubletree Hotel:

As the temperatures warm (and the Cleveland Indians stay that way), are you into the Tribe? Published: Monday, May 09, 2011, 6:38 PM Terry Pluto, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The sun is out, the temperatures are supposed to be in the 70s and the Indians are in first place. Are you ready to buy into the Tribe as they return to Progressive Field to open a week-long homestand Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Tampa Bay? Let's start with the fact that the Indians have won a few games when they were more lucky than good. But for the most part, their 22-11 record is well-earned. They pitch well. They catch the ball. They hit in the clutch. Name any significant category -- starting pitching, relief pitching, scoring runs, batting average, fielding percentage or unearned runs allowed -- and the Tribe ranks in the top four of the American League. http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index.ssf/2011/05/as_the_temperatures_warm_and_t.html

GO TRIBE! Defending the 13-game home winning streak in beautiful weather tonight!

I did say "grocery store" though. EDIT: understood in reference to the site of Lot 45.

And my Murray Hill Market! Hopefully the Little Italy store can still last. I have a feeling it will though, it is developing a good neighborhood following. Side note: I ate at my first food truck this morning on the parking lot opposite of MOCA. This is the first time, to my knowledge, a food truck has been parked in Uptown/University Circle. They said they hope to make it a regular location as MOCA and Uptown are going in. Had a pulled pork sandwich marinated in Edmund Fitzgerald...awesome!

^ A full service grocery store signed a lease last week.

The remaining 27 Coltman townhomes have topped off:

:clap: :clap: :clap: Cleveland Rowing Foundation Opens Rivergate CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seeking to create better access to people-powered recreation on the Cuyahoga River, The Cleveland Rowing Foundation (CRF) is proud to announce the opening of its Rivergate rowing facility on May 17 at 5pm. A special announcement will take place during the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 6.5 acre Rivergate Park, located at 1785 Merwin Avenue on the east side of the Cuyahoga River in the Flats. “We are pleased that the safety standards which the Cleveland Rowing Foundation has developed and implemented for rowing members will be also be applied to the kayak programs which will be phased in at Rivergate” “This project would not have been possible without The Trust for Public Land which facilitated the site purchase,” said Jon Adams, Chairman of the Rivergate Park Council. “We’d also like to thank the more than 300 donors who believe in our mission of transforming a concrete-covered site into greenspace and a recreation hub.” “We closed on the purchase in September, moved to the new site in November and we were open for rowing in March. This incredible feat could not have happened without the considerable donation of time, talent and toil from our hundreds of volunteers,” said Bob Valerian, Chairman of the CRF Board of Directors. “Cleveland Rowing Foundation's Rivergate is leading the way for the revitalization and rejuvenation of the Columbus Road peninsula which is quickly becoming known as the People-Powered Peninsula. With their sweat and hopes and muscles, they are singlehandedly creating a sustainable energy exemplifying Cleveland's best energies," said Cleveland Ward 3 Councilman, Joe Cimperman. “Cleveland Rowing Foundation's paramount concern is safe river operations. The Cuyahoga River is a federal navigation channel with daily commercial traffic,” said Executive Director, Theresa Gang. “We are pleased that the safety standards which the Cleveland Rowing Foundation has developed and implemented for rowing members will be also be applied to the kayak programs which will be phased in at Rivergate," added CRF board member, Bill Braun. CRF offers a variety of rowing programs for both youth and adults. In addition, kayaking will be available through a partnership with the Cleveland Metroparks’ Institute of the Great Outdoors (“IGO”) paddling program which will begin in July. The Cleveland Dragon Boat Association also operates out of Rivergate Park. More information about CRF’s programs can be found at www.clevelandrows.org. The Campaign for Rivergate Park is ongoing as the Cleveland Rowing Foundation seeks to make building and site improvements, pay off a $900,000 site acquisition loan and move forward with new programming. Donations are tax-deductible and may be payable and mailed to Cleveland Rowing Foundation/Rivergate, 1785 Merwin Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110510005100/en/Cleveland-Rowing-Foundation-Opens-Rivergate

Doesn't CSU have it's own police force? Like Case Western and University Circle??

^ It's Alive! City of Cleveland hopes to spin garbage into profits with new waste-to-energy plant CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The city of Cleveland wants to turn trash into cash by building a $180 million waste-to-energy plant and recycling facility at the Ridge Road transfer station. The plant, fueled by 560 tons of trash a day, would be the first of its kind in the U.S. and would produce enough electricity to power about 7,500 homes. Should the city get permission to build the plant, one looming question remains: Who will pay for it? City officials tout their plan as an innovative and environmentally friendly way to bolster the city's bottom line. They say Cleveland will save millions by greatly lessening the cost of trucking and dumping garbage at landfills while profiting from electricity and other products the facility can produce. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/05/city_of_cleveland_hopes_to_spi.html

Hillis enjoying all the national media and rightfully so: 1) 2) He will on David Letterman tonight: http://cleveland.sbnation.com/cleveland-browns/2011/4/27/2137571/peyton-hillis-to-appear-on-david-letterman-tomorrow-night

Guys the last two games have been over 70 F at opening pitch... And still less than 10k. I went to the one on tuesday. Did u know the Lake Erie Monsters minorleahue team had more people at their game?? And Cleveland's not the only city with crappy weather. What about Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia...

Just sucks that cities like Pittsburgh and Kansas City.. Well every city in the country for that matter ... are beating us in attendance. Pittsburgh hasn't had a winning season in well over a decade.

Tribe wins again. Best record in the American League! http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/index.jsp?tcid=mm_mlb_standings Worst attendance in all of Baseball... http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance

CLEVELAND wins! "I've got to give it up to the Cleveland fans. It shows how big Cleveland fans are to the players, and I'm going to try my best for them." -- Peyton Hillis

I was there last night... Beautiful weather, great baseball! Just the fans were missing...
