Great point.

Strickland vs. Kasich: The Great Train Debate Published: Tuesday, September 14, 2010, 9:08 PM Aaron Marshall, The Plain Dealer COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Gov. Ted Strickland and his Republican challenger John Kasich are offering a stark contrast as they discuss a proposed passenger rail line that would connect Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati. http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2010/09/strickland_v_kasich_the_great.html

I second Rockefeller

I know it's gotta be tough with a "tech building," but I wish he would think more mixed-use. University Circle drastically needs more apartments and housing....he needs to partner with Maron...sigh...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...where did this come from: Developer John Ferchill plans University Circle tech center By JAY MILLER 2:45 pm, September 14, 2010 Developer John Ferchill today unveiled plans for a $98.6 million tech center on a University Circle site currently occupied by the 3rd District police station and a Cleveland Public Library branch. The new construction, which is described as an “innovation center campus,” effectively replaces the MidTown Technology Center that Mr. Ferchill's development firm planned at East 61st Street and Euclid Avenue. That project never got off the ground and the building that the Ferchill Group bought in 2003, the former Knitting Mills building, has been demolished. The tech center will be built in phases. The first phase is a five-story, 100,000-square-foot office building at Chester Avenue and Stokes Boulevard. A second 100,000-square-foot building, on the library property would be built to the south. Mr. Ferchill told council that he has plans for a third building, but to accomplish that would require moving an Illuminating Co. substation at East 105th Street and Chester. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20100914/FREE/100919937

The 3-C issue is so critical to the future of Ohio, and I don't know what John Kasich could said to trump what he said last month: "If you want the train, I hope you can get over that and vote for me anyway. But you're not going to get that train. It's a white elephant, we can't afford it, we can't pay for it. And who's riding it?" - John Kasich Maybe if he was giving Cleveland a new Port or Cincy a light rail. I'm not even very political, but to be outright opposed to linking Ohio greatest cities, and don't get me started about giving back hundreds of millions of dollars of free government money, so that it can go to another state for rail/transportation.

"Construction on the initial phase is tentatively scheduled to start in late 2012. " :clap:

How so? Any specifics? Great writing BTW.

President Clinton is in Cleveland today campaigning for Gov. Ted Strickland: http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-news-president-bill-clinton-in-cleveland,0,840948.story He'll be at Barley House on W.6th at noon, Tri-C at 2 pm.

...... you win my sadness! Very cool though, I had no idea.

Quick question: I was looking at E.105th and Euclid from, and I was wondering if anyone knows what that Battery-looking structure at the old trolley turn-around is in the 1952 view. It's gone by 1962: <a href="http://www.historicaerials.com/?poi=12862"><img src="http://www.historicaerials.com/featuredPOIImage.aspx?poi=12862" /></a> Side note: Now that's density!

^ With this all happening at once (FEB, Casino, Rivergate) I would hope so as well. The roads down there are some of the worst in the city. Let's just put some more population down there a.k.a property owners. :)

What does this mean exactly?

Awesomeness... Creating Rivergate Park: Cleveland Rowing Foundation buys site on Cuyahoga River Published: Monday, September 13, 2010, 8:55 PM Steven Litt, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Rowing Foundation closed a deal Monday to create Rivergate Park, a new public park on the Cuyahoga River devoted to rowing, canoeing, kayaking and dragon-boating. The foundation raised $3 million in grants, donations and loans in less than a year to purchase nearly seven acres on Columbus Road Peninsula from the former Commodore's Club, a powerboat marina and boat storage center at 1785 Merwin Ave. The park is expected to open next summer. http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2010/09/rivergate.html
