^could be a dry run to see if there were any unforseen problems

anyone know what property GLBC is looking to acquire?

^from the way the article is written, it sounds like she held her own

lets not count too many chickens yet, we may be setting ourselves up for disappointment

Steelers fan? Be sure to check out Mansfield, it has a lot of restaurants nestled near the the main strip and definitley a short commute to Independence :evil:

I lived in the southside for a VERY brief period in 2001. I would say Ohio City would be a good fit comparison. It is not as compact as Carson street, but it is rapidly filling in. A second choice would be W.65th and Detroit the Gordon Square area. A third choice would be Cedar/Lee area of Cleveland Hts, a fourth would be tremont. They all have treads here and in the NEO Construction pages. Hope this helps, and welcome to Cleveland! You will never have to hear "youins" again :)

What day is the "big announcement"?

^Lots of announcements at city hall this month, this one and Pesht

Trade shows: new Rx for city? Medical Mart wants showroom in old Higbee building, but the project hinges on a new convention center Wednesday, April 04, 2007 Sarah Hollander and Joan Mazzolini Plain Dealer Reporters The entire article is on page 17 of this thread

Well, the medical mart is going to go into Higbees. It looks like the entire first floor has already been gutted. I know the CVB was going into the first floor, what I was wondering is how much of the first floor they are going to take. And I guess I was speculating that if the CVB was only taking a small corner, then maybe the medical mart is quietly starting regardless of the convention center. But, I haven't been able to find the info on how much space the CVB is going to take.

Is the visitors bureau going to take up the entire first floor of the Higbee's building. When I was home last week, it looked like some serious demo was going on.

Anyone know if the port and Burke could operate on the same land?

^I'm lazy...how does that compare to the new East Bank?

Just give us phase 1! I promise to shop and booze there

^You need to get out of Shaker Square every once in a while ;)

Until I heard it was an inch thick, I thought it might be for traction in case the temporary concrete was deemed to be a slip hazard....but not an inch thick

I just flew into Cleveland to meet my newest nephew and took the rapid to and from the airport. Compared to the Chicago CTA, I thought the trains went very fast. Also, the train cars are at least twice as long as their Chicago counterparts. After being used to the EL in Chicago, my RTA experience was pleasantly surprising.

you know, about the galleria, my Dad worked on the construction there. When I worked at the Koenig's there, he said he would not step foot in there because of the shotty construction. But, then again, it is still standing

Good decision by Mr. Smith, but he seems to enjoy not consulting or even informing council. I hope this does not turn into a petty fight

tbone, when you move here I will give you an itinerary of some of the absoulte best shot and a beer joints in the nation. Cleveland is blessed in that regard.

Anyone know where the tear that mother down rally is being held?

The sense that I'm getting is that these (and some/many other) line items that Strickland had proposed for increased funding fell victim to the House GOP's effort to pile up funding for their top priorities, especially higher education. Did I read that right, one of the GOP's top priorites is higher education? Since when?

I hope Jimmy's comes back :)

^I know a lot of the merchants enjoy the current days and hours....but I am using a sample size of my relatives and neighbors

So many people out and about in the UC, nice to see. Thanks MayDay
