Good Luck Zimzolla!

North Andre, is this an expansion of McCormick place, or a new convention center (or an expansion of the Rosemont CC)?

For people in the know, what is the likelihood we will actually hear any news about this soon?

Regarding the near west theater, this link takes you to the renderings from the architect. Same as KJPs, but a few more. http://www.studiorfa.com/civic/nearwest/index.htm I think the streetscaping elements like the bus stops will become a more cohesive idea once this is built. Its another great development for Detroit-Shoreway!

You do get a much better sense of the group plan with the Public Hall addition removed. Thanks for the pic urbanomics

Thanks for the pics MrClifton and KJP

Did you see the bench during the Wisconsin's last drive? Was it just the team making all the "Oh-OOOO-Oh" noise, or were there a bunch of Ohio State people there. (My bar in NOLA did not put on sound until the LSU game was over)

^catchy name!

Anyone know if it is near the path of the Towpath Trail?

Thank you, thank you. I couldn't do [absolutely nothing] without all of you. ;) All kidding aside, I think that is a perfect use for the space

*cough**cough* :)

^Maybe it is a corporate apartment for the Cavs

Is this near where the old cold storage building that was torn down due to the new innerbelt bridge?

^If I remember correctly, student loan services were going to go into this buildingn and out of Lincoln Tower. For that alone, it is a huge accomplishment.

He is a big Tennessee backer, so it could be a coincidence

Those exhaust towers, are they mirrors, or just highly polished stainless steel?

^Thanks for that, great to hear!

^I just stayed at an Embassy with a mini kitchen, and it had granite counters and a stainless fridge. Has anyone on the board stayed there? Did they simply convert apartments to hotel suites, that will now be turned back to apartments?

KJP, is that the latest and greatest (and final) plan, or is it just a kind of massing? IS that Civic Plaza going to be elevated?

Well, as always, you are entitled to your opinions, and after a few years with you on this board, I know I have little chance of changing that opinion. But let me try one more time. :) Ari Maron of MRN is someone who has developed a lot of the new housing along Euclid Ave, and he credits the HealthLine for spurring the developments downtown and in UC. Influenced by the HealthLine, MRN Limited Partnership has either under way or finished four projects (some of which involve multiple buildings) located on or near Euclid, with an estimated value of $300 million. “What happens in University Circle is directly related to what happens in Midtown and in downtown,” Maron said. “When the HealthLine opened, people thought of Euclid Avenue as a connecting corridor for the first time.”http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/mayor-pushes-brt-metro-look-cleveland-and-eugene-may-shed-light-system

Think about that last statement "I'm sure there are dozens of Clinic and UH employees living downtown..." Could you have said that before the HealthLine was constructed? There are a lot of factors that have contributed to the surge in downtown living in the past 5 years, and the HealthLine is a significant part of that. The numbers of people living downtown who work in UC will only grow, and the number of people who live in UC who work downtown will increase dramatically. The investment in the HealthLine has paid back more than it cost to construct. Remember also, that the majority of the money for the HealthLine went to a complete reconstruction of Euclid Avenue.

Is that a projection or a billboard?

Thanks for the pics MrClifton

There are two sides to every story, but I am not saying you are wrong. It could have been something as simple as not being able to line up the financing at the time. Hopefully what goes in that spot eventually will be as good as good as having Eaton there

I have seen the MM rendering hundreds of times, but I never realized how cool that the sight lines to the lake would be until I saw your pic mrclifton, thanks!
