I heard from someone that The Zaremba develop company pulled out of the Uptown Project. Is this true and does this mean its dead?

Wow someone has a great camera! I can never get the skyline that clear from Lakewood park...

What is the population of Saginaw?

Great stuff! You know it may be easier to read if you post the neighborhoods seperately. Just a suggestion...

Does anyone know how successful the avenue district has been? Are the units filling up?

I also have this posted in the Terminal Tower Thread. Is a double posting ok?

Terminal Tower observation deck set to open soon for weekend visitors CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Terminal Tower observation deck, enclosed on the 42nd floor of the 52-story building, has been closed to visitors since the terrorist attacks of the World Trade Center in New York Sept. 11, 2001. It will reopen soon for a limited engagement with an eye toward becoming a permanent tourist attraction.

Great news... Just great news

So no Swimming pool in the park designs right?

Great Pictures! I always enjoy this Skyline perspective.

Not really. I think you're looking at visual perspective, which in that case it's awesome. Pittsburgh has many renovations for residential but nothing more than Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland. I believe Cleveland and Cincinnati have a larger downtown population while Cleveland itself has a full-service grocery store, etc. Activity-wise, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland are generally around the same though during work hours, Pittsburgh's is more "busy" since there are over 140,000 downtown workers. How many workers are there downtown in Cincy and Pittsburgh?

That would be wonderful for this to become a historic district!

I totally agree that downtown Pittsburgh is awesome. The major whole however is that to my knowledge there are not a lot of people actually living downtown.

The game was on Saturday evening and yes there were a surprising number of people there. I think the number was so high because they commerated the 1960 World Series..

Here is a collection of shots I took from Pittsburgh this past weekend. You can never get enough of that skyline! Street life in the Strip District: World Famous sandwich at Primantis Here is my favorite set of old buildings in Pittsburgh. They unfortuantely are very difficult to photograph: Market Square being renovated. They are cutting off the central area for just pedestrians. Any ideas public square? Old Catholic Church in Mt. Washington Station Square:

Man I just love all these New Jersey Ocean towns! The gingerbread houses are just amazing...

Wow you got some of the best places in Youngstown all in one post! The downtown is really impressive with all the old historic buildings.

Wait you can have access to the top floor of the Hunington Building? How are the views? I though that the Superior bldgs was available on Playhouse Square neighborhood tour..

I may have seen it from the outside but not inside. Do you have any photos?

I think we all want these gardens to be maintained and be noticed more frm the region and possibly the country because its great uniquenes. I think that a collaborative effort would be needed to do this involving: the nationalities taking care of the gardens, the city of Cleveland, better security and better advertising possibily from UCI.

I really hope it to turns into a massive condo conversation... I am pretty confident that the area between east 9th and east 12th is going to explode soon. It is however a little concerning about the scale of the building. It would take a lot to finance it.

Here's a really good secret: Cleveland's Cultural Gardens. I bet 90 percent a Clevelanders don't know about them... Here my photo thread link: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,23634.0.html

I don't understand the correlation of the neighborhood and the maintenance of the gardens??? The area the gardens are located, is hardly "rough". If you want to place blame on the look of the gardens blame the Country/Nationality of that garden. The country/nationality is suppose to maintain their garden. My grandmother has decades of letter to countries who do not maintain their gardens. The only garden/green space, in that area, maintained by Cleveland is Rockefeller Park. The garden you have listed as "Israel" is actually the Hebrew Garden. You are right in saying that part of the blame is on the nationalities taking care of the gardens. But a do believe that the surrounding neighborhood is still very rough. Yes the area a couple streets away from the gardens is nice but you go 3 blocks out and your are in some of the roughest neighborhoods in Cleveland. Just look at how many statues have been stolen from the gardens. And I even saw a couple of people smoking weed in one of the gardens. I think that in order to have more investment in the park from national groups that have to know that there statues won't get stolen.

All of PNC's money!

This post includes a comprehensive tour of Cleveland's cultural gardens. In my opinion this is one of Cleveland's best kept secrets. Its sits ride along MLK drive with some of the gardens being up the hill on east blvd. Unfortunately since this area is in such a rough area in Cleveland there has been a lot of degration. Many of the plaques and statues have been stolen and some of the sites are maintained not very well. But you will find that there are still some amazing spots! My hope is that Cleveland realizes this amazing asset and begins to put some investment into it. I know that there are plans to run a new bike path through MLK drive in the lake to lake trail and make improvements to the park. I would suggest finding ways to make these gardens more noticable, safer and cleaner. Maybe UCI should create a guide to the gardens at their visitor center. Also if we really want this area to take off security is key! In order for people to invest in these areas statues need to stop being stolen. Anyways enough with my thoughts here's the garden! The Irish Gardens: Israel: Great Britain Hungary: Poland Chopin (this is really sad!)
