^ I thought Society had some people in there for a while, but I won't challenge the Cleveland Skyscraper aficionado

^I wonder if anyone was interested in going to school to be a spy would be disappointed in that website?

any news?

Why not just rotate it

Anyone know when that condom looking scaffolding is going to come off of the Terminal Tower? Thanks for the pics Mayday

Well, Key is nearly full. Anyone know how many people work there?

Update from today 3/23, the jobs going into Tower City Quicken Loans Internet Home Lending Center to Open in Downtown Cleveland's MK-Ferguson Building on April 3, 2006; Center Projected to Create More Than 300 Jobs and Generate Between $25 and $30 Million in Annual Salaries CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 23, 2006--Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and Quicken Loans Chairman and founder Daniel Gilbert, who also is majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and operator of the Quicken Loans Arena, today announced that Quicken Loans' new Internet Home Lending Center will open in downtown Cleveland on April 3, 2006. This is the first out-of-state facility for Quicken Loans, which is the nation's largest online home lender. The company is based in Livonia, Michigan. The Quicken Loans Internet Home Lending Center will be located in the MK-Ferguson Building (the former U.S. Post Office) at 1500 W. Third Street in Cleveland's Central Business District. Quicken Loans has leased 45,000 square feet on the building's fifth floor from Forest City Enterprises Inc. The space currently is being renovated to incorporate the company's state-of-the-art technology and home loan training facilities. Led by 11-year Quicken Loans veteran, Vice President Jeffrey Perry, the Internet Home Lending Center will initially open with 50 employees who will advise and assist clients in all 50 states with their home financing needs. Quicken Loans will continue to hire and train approximately 15 to 20 new employees per month in Cleveland. The new location is expected to create between 300 and 350 new positions within the first two or three years. When fully operational, the center is projected to generate between $25 and $30 million in annual salaries and $3 to $4 billion in annual closed loan volume. https://www.quickenloans.com/mortgage-news/quicken-loans-internet-home-lending-center-open-downtown-clevelands-mkferguson-building

Case Western Reserve University Hospitals of Cleveland, quite a mouthful. Would that alienate the Clinic and Lerner's $100million school at Case?

Is MBNA HQed here?

I just watched the video that StrangeBrew has a link to. Its worth the time, a nice summary of what is going on. It was interesting the projects they chose to highlight, such as the condo tower on top of 515 Euclid.

^I think that was Tower Citiy's Riverview phase. Well, FC still holds most of the cards on Scranton

Might I politely add that Cleveland is not D.C. and thankfully never will be. It's certainly a fun city to visit though. Ain't that the truth. I'm painfully reminded of it every time I come home and see Cleveland wasting away. If Cleveland continues its slide of wasting away I can imagine a time when our mayor could be convicted of smoking crack. And then it can get so bad that he or she would be re-elected. That would truly be horrible

No one jump off the ledge just yet. For one thing, they always try to give a highway alternative, just like they did for the west shoreway, but the most residential option won out.

hehehe

Welcome Rob!

^So how long has that sign been up?

MGD, no talk about the bridge alignment?

Expect an article like this from the Chicago Sun-Times when Marshall Fields becomes Macy's

Is anyone on the panel a "southern alignment" champion?

Well, I give Applied Industrial credit for staying in the city. Look at Parker, they were based in Cleveland, wanted a cushier HQ and took off for Lander Road in Beachwood or there abouts. AI, formerly Bearings Inc, wanted the cushy HQ, but stayed in Cleveland. Does the archtechture clash with the area? Oh yeah, but I am still happy they are where they are.

^rumors are hard to keep quiet. Pesky reporters are always ready to scuttle a project just to get a scoop. Look what KJP did to Pesht! ([glow=red,2,300]JUST KIDDING KJP[/glow]!!!!!!!!!!)

UC, you see, is UC

Though I must say, on this forum (hell, even other urban forums), I've never seen a city with so many "Positive" "Believe" "Identity" and such words tossed around for a city as much as Cleveland. So I'm pretty sure there is enough positive vibe coming from the citizens of that area. Hell, the title "Northeast Ohio" alone tells me how proud they are of their city-region. ColDayMan's words got me thinking. Do Clevelanders have more of an emotional relationship with our city than most people? Not to say that we love our city more than other people in other cities, but we can really get ourselves worked up about it. Besides love or hate, we have disappointment, excitement, apprehension, fear, pride. OK I am an enginerd, not a poet so I aint got a lot of flowery words, but doesn't it seem that we have a more complex relationship with our region than most people? For better or for worse.

Welcome to Cleveland DPod (or welcome back) there are a few threads about where to live in Cleveland. Give the search bar a whirl

How much Dan? (not looking myself, but if I hear of anyone, I would love to let them know)
