what would it take to make this happen? What if we were to have all the major tenants on public square on board with the idea? Key/Forest City/etc... Circulate a petition? Wouldn't ODOT be more inclined to listen then? It becomes increasingly logical, the more I think about this. Why not have a pseudo forest, in the "forest city", on our trademark public property, which is at the footstep of the Forest City Enterprises offices....

^ a la east 4th in a way...

i'm sorry but traffic would not be impeded enough to force some sort of "congestion" or traffic snarl IMO. When I went to a 2-week long seminar in the BP building, I had a direct view of PSquare for the entire day, and I saw a traffic pattern/volume that could be very easily diverted onto the perimeter without much ensuing difficulty. I know this is highly anecdotal and not quantifiable in anyway, but does anyone disagree?

You're right, it wouldn't need to be...then we could have the added benefit of keeping our readily identifiable namesake, Public "Square".

obviously under my suggestion, the S&S would have to be moved...

What does everyone think about turning it into a circular intersection, if it is not feasible to completely close down the square? The Soldiers/Sailors monument could be the centerpiece...w/Moses Cleveland positioned in such a way that it is "greeting" those that arrive via Superior to the West...

just wanted to "bump" this photo collection as it is amazing.

I believe it. Just today Barnes & Noble and Borders are rumored to be looking at merging.

Is anyone else planning on attending the meeting on the 22nd?

thanks doc broc! :) sounds like pope got up on the wrong side of the bed this AM. i was merely giving my ? a bump since it had been passed over my several other posts. and in no previous posts did it make mention of specific retail tenants, or any update for that matter since Feb, something I thought the "people in the know" may now be privy to...

is there any word on the street level retail this development has lined up? or is it still too soon?

.....because those future tax windfalls would normally go to schools or other tax-supported institutions?

But I am assuming that these property tax receipts were already going to fund something else, so does that mean that this would result in cuts elsewhere? Are we merely robbing Paul to pay Peter?

"downtown-wide tax increment finance district" what exactly is this? a tax on all current downtown businesses to help finance these projects?

I thought scranton peninsula was owned by FCE

Did you find the workload far exceeded that of your undergraduate studies? I am not a rocket scientist, but I'm not stupid either, my concern is that I won't be able to do this while working full time.

If I am not being too forward, could I ask about the financial ramifications (both good and bad) achieving your MBA has had?

david, i have an undergraduate degree in marketing. currently i work in advertising with limited opportunity for career growth. i've sort of been typecast as only being able to do one specific thing based on my experience. i'd like to work more in the traditional sense of marketing with an eye towards product development as a marketing manager client-side, and not for an agency.

I'd like to pose an open question to the forum members that have obtained their MBAs (which I believe are many). I am strongly considering going down this road to enhance my career and earning potential. Having already taken a GMAT test prep course and found the sample questions incredibly simple, I would venture to say that I won't have much of a challenge scoring well and ultimately being accepted. However, what I don't know is the level of difficulty once enrolled. I have heard from both sides of the spectrum. My one friend said it was a cakewalk, the other dropped out after one course. I would consider both to be hard-working, intelligent people. That being said, what do some of this forum MBA-holders think? Is it worth it for all the obvious reasons, or ultimately an unnecessary financial burden that one would not pursue again given the chance? Obviously there is no one answer, and a ton of variables, but I would like some honest feedback and advice from real-world examples in an attempt to see what I might have in store for me! Thanks! :-D

^agreed...there is definitely a scent of cleveland.com mulling about in this thread

i agree with JPOP, makes the place look way too artificial IMO. how bout we flip the question around and ask you, MTS, if YOU can name one example in the country where you DO see this

Where is Urbanohio.com's regional office located?

I wonder what it would take to lure Progressive downtown?

^how exactly would this happen? where would the "loop" exist? east along lakeside, south down east 12th, finally back west along Superior, connecting by Settlers landing?
