And now it's Friday, we were expecting this done on Monday.

Kitsch City was the furniture place? Or am I thinking of something else?

I know, but if I were the band, I'd be a little annoyed that people can come out to see me play but choose not to contribute. If I owned NTC I'd put a cover for the door. At the very least have a different price point depending on which place you plan on being in (bar/stage). I get the world-view/sentiment behind the practice, but it's a little lame, imo. To get back to the crime issue, I was talking to a friend about that corner, it's always been a trouble spot because the housing located over there has always been infested with dealers. A bunch of kids playing punk are easy targets. I know hiring CPD would go against the punk attitude, but it's not helping the business to have sitting ducks getting picked off by violent thugs.

Thanks! I am looking into doing shows, right now I need power on the first floor though. David Ellison has the building (was buildings) at 41st on the south side. He's moving his architecture firm there. Not sure where he is with things, I know money has been an issue (who-da-thunk-it)

$10 a year? Somebody needs a better leasing agent.

If they stabilize the hill, they are building on it.. bye bye sunflower garden.

Probably with good reason!

I'm almost scared to post this considering the reaction to my other post about this demo project.. anyway, here's a photo of the last building standing. This sucker really has put up a fight (been a week alone working on it).

And then you get the quizzical look in building in housing. Our building has upper floor apartments and ground floor retail and I swear you'd have thought my brother had walked in and asked if it was ok to land his spaceship in Ohio City.

We should bring back the stagecoaches on Lorain!

if they hired security they wouldn't be able to charge $5.00 for shows. I like that punk rock concert prices were never adjusted for inflation.

there are spots on Lorain, but nothing much until you cross Fulton really. And by that point you are no longer part of the Market, you are a destination.

I hear you.. maybe you can give me a list of the places with illegal live/work happening and I can report to housing authority and create a market! (wait, that sounds underhanded, nevermind). Your market study would be helpful. I think Tower Press is a good modal, actually. Though I think it maybe over leveraged.

Talk to Doug Perkowski at the Federal Knitting Mills. You can get a nice loft for that price range. You could also look to go into the West Virginia in Ohio City: http://www.ocnw.org/home/historic_west_virginia/index.html

his biggest asset could be the 500 plus covered parking spots he has in back of the building.

probably part of it. We also don't take a giant front end risk, building it out as we get tenants in. More expensive dollar for dollar, but less front end risk. I'm pretty sure Fred Geis can get this done, though. He's the right developer for MidTown in general and this building in particular.

I've seen it done before...

If you can give me some advance warning I can take you for a tour. Maybe I'll open it up to anybody on Urban Ohio. Best time to tour is normally a Friday mid/late afternoon (3:45 on). Business' are still open to walk through, but most employees have left and the school is out.

just popped in on Gotta Groove Records, looks like they went from a two man shop (owner and business partner) to an 8 man shop since they've moved in. Film industry just finished shooting a movie called Lilith here at Tyler. APOC is expanding operations, though it won't be at Tyler, instead it will be at one of our other properties (E.49th and St.Clair).

Yeah, I think we may be doing that.

I don't know, Federal Knitting Mills does well, and it's doubtful that most of it's tenants walk to and from work, or even to and from various OC locals. But I agree on the live/work. I'm also wondering if hipster families would be interested knowing they could send their kid to E Prep and Vprep right across 36th street.

Depends on what type of housing? Regular apartments or condos? Luxury apartments or condos? Townhouses? Mixed retail at base of condo tower? All those types of units would bring a different buyer. If I had to go with a gut guess. I would have to say, young professionals, late 20's - early 30's, who have just moved up one peg on their career path and want to live in a unique area that is up and coming. Apartments built in existing space (no townhouses, no condos). There is curiosity over luxury apartments vs market rate vs more of a live/work style. Retail would be on campus. Keep in mind, no new buildings, only building out what is already existing.

Looking for opinions: If there was a housing component at Tyler Village, who do you think the demographic would most likely be.
