How bout we knock it over and put in a 20-story condo tower with first floor retail :-D :-P

But if he was going to sell to Maron, it seems like he wouldn't need a sign. Unless he's trying to get other investors/developers interested, raising the value of his property.

I find it interesting that it was in the "Real Estate" section. Invest in Cleveland!

CHECK IT OUT -- Love from the NY Times: An Enclave of Entertainment in Cleveland Barney Taxel for The New York Times Published: July 7, 2009 CLEVELAND — Coal and steel and steam were the foundations of Cleveland’s 20th-century rise to a prosperous city of nearly one million people — at one point the nation’s fifth-largest. But, today the city is much, much smaller, and its economy relies more on good food, drink and experiences. This is highly apparent along 450 feet of East Fourth Street, site of a 600,000-square-foot mixed-use historic redevelopment that The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the city’s major newspaper, has characterized as “the jewel of Cleveland’s entertainment district.” About a third of the $110 million project is retail space and two-thirds is housing. The redeveloped area has 14 restaurants, eight bars, a 16-lane bowling alley, a coffee shop, a theater, a nightclub and a concert stage that attracts national acts. Above the restaurants, the developer, the Cleveland-based MRN Ltd., has built 322 rental apartments. The last 64 units were finished in March and are being offered at attractive prices. A 1,200-square-foot apartment with two bedrooms and a bath goes for $1,200 a month, for example, said Ari Maron, 31, a partner in the family-owned company. The current vitality of Fourth Street is the culmination of 15 years of work by the Maron family to turn a worn thoroughfare and its old buildings into a prime example of 21st-century urban redevelopment in the Midwest.

http://www.medcitynews.com/index.php/2009/07/coming-from-france-modern-day-medical-ties-to-cleveland/ Coming from France: Modern-day medical ties to Cleveland July 7, 2009 By Chris Seper CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland’s relationship with Rouen, France, started during World War I because doctors here wanted to mimic innovations they observed at an army hospital there. Now Cleveland’s sister city wants to flip the script. French officials who were in town for the last week want over the next two years to lock down as many commercial ties as they can for a new Rouen University Innovation Health Care initiative. At the moment, that effort is a collaboration between the Rouen University Hospital – Charles Nicolle and the university to commercialize more of their research and includes some temporary buildings that house fewer than a half-dozen startups. But a permanent facility, which would include an office park to house businesses past the incubation phase, likely will be completed early next decade. There was a lot of talk and heavy hinting by the French delegation that ties with its health-care initiative would provide a better foothold for Cleveland’s health care community in Europe. Some Cleveland-Europe ties already exist. The Cleveland Clinic recently signed a memorandum of understanding with an Irish university and manages a heart center in Austria.

From NY Times on Lebron: A Basketball Star Among the Moguls July 7, 2009, 10:30 am Amid the usual collection of media magnates, investment bankers and financiers, one name on this year’s Sun Valley guest list was getting a lot of attention Tuesday: LeBron James.

So are we saying remove the "plus sign" in the middle of the square (only way i can say it), and keep the outside of the square as one flow of traffic acting as a roundabout? Is that the general opinion?

What is the really good deal if you don't mind me asking.

Whoa...some big, RICH company: LeBron James attending prestigious conference with Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert by Brian Windhorst/Plain Dealer Reporter Tuesday July 07, 2009, 12:50 PM CLEVELAND -- LeBron James will be spending some time with friend Warren Buffett at the prestigious Allen & Company media industry conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. But it wasn't Buffett who got James and LRMR Marketing CEO Maverick Carter the invite to the ultra-elite five-day conference that has been labeled as "summer camp for billionaires." It is a place for executives and movers and shakers in the media industry to share ideas and sometimes strike major deals.

Even still, it seems like it can start being developed on the available land, even if it just it 2-3 structures this decade. Who knows, but it also blows my mind with the whole 30-50 years thing.

The French delegation launched a five day trip Thursday focused on building business, cultural and educational ties. Bonjour mon ami. Mayor Fourneyron of Rouen and Cleveland’s Mayor Frank Jackson spoke upon their commitment to work together during a City Hall media briefing last week. The two cities may not speak the same language but they share the same economic challenges. This is not the first time the two cities have come together. Some may remember last year the city of Rouen hosted Mayor Jackson’s delegation. The exchange continued into the summer as a member of Rouen’s Chamber of Commerce worked at the Greater Cleveland Partnership. Then in the fall a Cleveland business delegation meet with two dozen companies while attending a Rouen trade show. This summer Cleveland returned the mayoral delegation hosting honors. Rouen’s visit was expected to have them meet with officals at the Greater Cleveland Partnership, Cleveland State University, Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority. Rouen, captial city of Normandy located in northwestern France, developed a sister city relationship with Cleveland through the efforts of the Northern Ohio Chapter of the French-American Chamber of Commerce and the Lubrizol Corporation. The group is expected to wrap their visit this week.

A public hearing on RTA's 2010 budget is today following a budget presentation that begins at 9 a.m. at the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority main office, 1240 West Sixth St., Cleveland. The agency's budget can be found in a news release on riderta.com in the Newsroom section under News & Updates Well, Public hearing going on right now...I wonder if they'll address the PD's article. I still think the difficulty to pay everyday is a major issue that still needs resolved, thus people are not being counted. EDIT: wait, how does the article blame population loss????

http://www.wkyc.com/news/local/news_article.aspx?storyid=117231&catid=3 Clevelanders prepare for a final goodbye to Michael Jackson Posted By: Updated: 7/6/2009 11:39:53 PM Posted: 7/6/2009 10:30:40 PM CLEVELAND -- As police warn Los Angeles residents to stay away from the Staples Center Tuesday for the Michael Jackson memorial, residents of Cleveland are clearing their schedule for an afternoon of television viewing. "I have been glued to my TV," says Denise Bell of Cleveland. "Ever since he died--and it was tragic--I cannot stop watching CNN," she says. She was one of several hundred that have left messages and paid respects to the King of Pop over the last eleven days at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "This is just like when Elvis passed away," says California native Joe Hobson who checked out the newly unveiled Michael Jackson Memorial Wall Monday at the Rock Hall. "You have two different kings, one of pop, one of rock." Clevelanders also spoke about the legendary performer Monday night on urban contemporary station WZAK-FM's "The Kym Sellers Show". "When Elvis Presley died, and there was all this attention paid to Graceland," one caller recounted. "I couldn't understand it. I apologize now. And now I understand why." Former WMMS-FM program director John Gorman told Channel 3 that his station may not have been tailor made to Jackson's style, but you couldn't not play it. "It was a cultural phenomenon," Gorman said. "Something very unique. There was only one performer like this in our lifetime." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will host a candlelight vigil at 9pm Tuesday night outside the Hall.

WOW..thanks!
