3 Dog Pat

NO! Next to my first house in NOLA that I am currently in, 250 W Norwich #4D was my favorite place to live, ever!

any timeline for the residential?

^they provide shade

Let's all wait until the investigation is complete.

I went to CSU my first year, then Ohio State to graduate. Im pretty sure you can fit the majority of CSUs campus on Ohio State's oval. My point: quit crying. Walking is part of the college experience.

cynical me thinks that this is a ploy by first energy to say "Look Obama cost Ohio jobs" hoping that the laws will be relaxed and the plants will go back into service.

That is not how construction works. Every plan has to be approved, and safety of the workers is the most pressing issue. It may be due to local laws, but most likely due to insurance rates companies have to pay. Safety score of a contractor is probably the main driver for construction projects. If someone gets hurt on a job in 2012, construction, manufacturing, whatever, something went wrong. It is not typical or to be expected.

^So, now that we are investing about a billion dollars into bringing tourists here, lets not shoot ourselves in the foot. Workers rode collapsing floor to bottom at Cincinnati casino, officials say http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2012/01/workers_rode_collapsing_floor.html Coincidence? Are any of the architecture or construction crews from the same company for the Cleveland and Cincinnati casinos.

WTF, the Cleveland casino garage had a floor collapse

Anyone know what the breakdown of the investment money into the Higbees building? I know $50MM is for the license, and they are buying 2100 video slot machines, but I don't know what that would cost. Im just wondering how much money is actually going into the Higbees building.

Any results

For what its worth, since you are renting, I would suggest living downtown (E4th or WHD). That way you can decide if Downtown living is for you when you decide to buy.

good job KJP! Did anyone feel like "oh wow, people are paying attention, we better shape up" or was it more like, "pfft, landmarks, haha?"

Could a renovation include development of the PS facing facade?

^^^Gracias

My point is that it seems to fit a pattern of behavior, so what is next?

^The Rock group wrote the constitutional amendment, they new what was needed for background checks and they are the ones who dragged their feet. I doubt there is anything sinister,but why did they resist so hard about certain "casino principals" having criminal background checks? I am uncomfortable at how easily Dan Gilbert is able to game the system. If you don't knock down a landmarked building for parking, I won't build my casino. If you think about increasing the amount of tax the casino will have to pay, I won't build my casino. If you don't look the other way on some of my business partners, I'll get my Plain Dealer to say that Columbus is causing delays in the opening just to spite Cleveland.

Does anyone have the original estimates for cost and timeline for this project that has been talked about since 2001? I remember 3 alternatives, one that was considered crazy expensive that would have re-routed the entire freeway east of dead mans curve. I am guessing if we went ahead with that one, it would be less expensive than what they are proposing after this latest delay...

ODOT says money for second Inner Belt Bridge may not come until the 2020s http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2012/01/post_551.html

Im quitting my job in offshore oil pipeline construction, and taking a job in a nuclear plant in New Orleans

^OK, my bad. Not getting money awarded is a whole different thing that missing the application date. I misread the headline.

#1. The bridge design wasn't a fully developed, it was kind of like a massing for a building. They just knew where it was going and that it would be open air and weather protected. #2. WTF??? Who dropped the ball on federal money?

Yeah, but it sucked until they pulled in a Clevelander (I kid, I kid)

well maybe someone like Mayday who set up the forum should apply

Bob Brown is building a legacy EDIT: Maybe "building" isn't the right word
