3 Dog Pat

My prediction: a game out of nowhere this Thursday, they look sharp and just dominate. Then loose the next 6.

^I didn't know that fun fact. Ironic that Lerner couldn't get an international match, when he owns an international soccer team

^Wow, that is such a sea change from the way we have always viewed housing in the city. Instead of a targeted investment, in order to grow the city, this development could be a reaction to fill a need for a growing city.

Well, why isn't the stadium used more in warm weather months? Will putting a roof on it make it more viable all year? I guess my point is, what kind of events do you need a stadium for, that an arena or convention center can't provide. From the PD article Haslam said he wants the city to get more use out of the facility. "Anything that helps us do that. . . we're certainly going to take a look at it," he said. I think people are jumping to conclusions that he means a dome. I would expect a hotel and maybe some entertainment venues, connected to the stadium.

thanks, good sluething

Where did you get those renderings KJP?

Thanks, I think it will be a good business opportunity when the CC opens

Does Cleveland have pedicabs?

^were they walking to or away from the hotel?

Can anyone who is totally familiar with the FEB project tell me which restaurants are part of Phase 1 and which is Phase 2. Now has Phase 2 locked up financing and will it start immediately after phase 1 is completed? Simplythis, the way I understand it, Toby Keith's place is part of phase II, but construction will begin as soon as the tower is completed. The rest of Phase II, like the apartment buildings, is still TBD.

Joe Hayden can't do everything, but almost.

Thank you Clueless!!!

Aren't there a bunch of dorms there now?

Can't wait to visit in the depth of winter

I'm going to guess that was sarcasm

I'm sitting in NOLA. I've got all the resources for an extended blackout due to the hurricane. Mostly that is beer, to be followed by red wine.

^^^I always thought that if uptown could get its act together (with the new alderman) the spot where the Popeyes is would make a great spot for a bar.

Breathtaking

Yet another great article and reporting leg work by Michelle Jarboe McFee.

Putting aside the idea that public housing = criminals. CMHA should routinely look at all of its properties to see if the value of the land is worth selling. The idea being the revenue generated from the sale would give the agency more money to build better facilities for it's residents at another site, or possibly more mixed income developments. Chicago did this under Mayor Dailey when I lived there. It seemed to be a win-win...but you never know because the voice of the poor is often not heard. My point is, if selling the land / property leads to better and more extensive services, that is what CMHA should do. If not, then no.

Can't wait to see it occupied at night

Will any of the tenants be adding employees, or is it just moving in from other parts of downtown?

Could it be configured to have mini displays from each of the UC museums, or all of the cultural institutions and halls of fame of the city and region? With all of the conventioneers and casino tourists, it could be a good inticement for visitors to visit some of the other attactions of the region.

What's the Cleveland connection to the story?

Wow never knew you were the same person haha. I guess now that I think about it I havent seen that other name in awhile. Changed your icon too right? EDIT: I change up the avatar from time to time. I added the "formerly known as Punch" to the bottom of the page.
