well done..

Well it won't be dunked anymore!! I am very excited about this project. I remember hearing is some earlier urban ohio post about this place being turned into a "sustainabilty research center"

Very nice Ink. There are some great districts here very similiar to the "French Quarter"

Very Pretty!! What Church is that?

Great Stuff Coolday. I really hope to make it to New York this summer

Not ONLY, but is it really debatable that these are substantial factors? There aren't enough police to patrol the city, period. Add more police and some of the crime we're seeing now becomes physically impossible. There aren't enough maintenance crews to keep things in working order. Couple that with the higher incidence of things to maintain in an inner city and you're looking at a serious conundrum. But it's nothing that money can't solve... and cutting overhead is a time-tested and private-sector-approved way to increase operating funds. To answer Clevelander17's broader contentions, I suppose the threshold issue is whether we view these individual communities as truly interdependent. If the answer is yes, then it's not too relevant how this or that community does in comparison to its regional neighbors. In the macro sense they rise and fall together. Strongsville and Solon may be better off than Cleveland, but are they better off than comparable suburbs in a stronger overall region? Of course not. At the end of the day both are suburbs of Cleveland, and are viewed as such by outsiders. If the answer is no, then by all means, keep viewing your neighbors as rivals and see how far our region gets. We're not doing to well right now, and we're about as balkanized as can be. This alone would seem to teach against continued balkanization. Something's gotta change, and doubling down on pro-sprawl trends of the late 20th century seems a bit backwards, considering how poorly that approach has worked for us over the course of its 70-year trial run. Where did you hear the 325 thousand number?

Good stuff!!

Is this the last New Orleans post? That would be so sad...

Interesting!!

Again New Orleans= amazingness! Ink did you pick up on the Van Go...

What neighborhood is Xenia Avenue in?

Actually they were taken all the way back in December. Not much changes weatherwise in Cleveland from December to February;)

I think this ranking is absolutely absurd!! It gave an F for Marriage in Cleveland. That's laughable!

Where is this?

Wow there are condos being built at E 102 and Superior! Is this apart of the Circel Plus movement?

Nice stuff! I also am loving the NYC posts

always a pleasure to see the French Quarters. Well timed!!

What's Paley Park?

When did the Denison Neighborhood start to go down hill?

The black and white works really well with the snow..

My feeling is that anything north of Euclid is far too gone. I know there are some stable neighborhoods east of Forest Hill and North of NorthVale Ave. (unless this is still Cleveland hts)

Still some great stuff left in East Cleveland. What an amazing city architecturally. Actually there are still some Standard Oil Buildings remaining. Lakewood has a couple. One on Lake Avenue and the other on Detroit and West BLVD. Its been converted into a Donatos.

Thanks again for the restaurant suggestion. Teak was a really interesting place with very good food. I beat this place is really cool in the summer with the out door patio on the third floor..

Here's one.... I'm surprise how few of worthy street level photos I have:

Tell me about it!! I heard him speak at the Ohio Planning Confernece. The guy is hillarious but yes a bit "doomsdayish"
