3 Dog Pat

Is there any chance that if they buy the gateway garage, they will abandon the original tear down plans?

It still seems like the PD holds a grudge against MMPI.

I voted for the old (current as I write this set up) but I figured I would eventually figure out the new system and be happy with it

Is it a broken link? Maybe its my company's firewall

Favorite quote from the above article Dave Grunenwald, Jacobs Investments Development V.P., said, "This will be a different city in 36 months. It will."

Things that make you go Hmmm

I saw this on the couty's planning blog. "The Ohio EPA declared that brownfield remediation of the Flats east bank site in Cleveland is complete and that the 20-are property is ready for redevelopment (PDF)." http://planning.co.cuyahoga.oh.us/blog/ http://www.epa.ohio.gov/portals/47/nr/2011/april/FlatsEast.pdf Maybe construction was waiting on that?

This may be the first time a non gov't agency has pushed this. I think the Browns are looking for more revenue from the stadium, but right now there is no reason to be near there, unless it is a game. Its the most viable plan in the past 20 years. (But, that really isn't saying too much) I wonder what the is timeline for this vision? It seems like a bit of jumping the gun to ask RTA to extend free trolley's at this point.

I think that is a good candidate for a living wall

What is also going to be cool about that view is a newly skinned Federal Building, and a new exterior to the hotel

:)

I am not sure if this was mentioned, but the last gasp of the Pesht project was Stark creating an alley of restaurants, like E. 4th, with places like Maggiano's and PF Chang's.

So, its really more of a billboard than a mural? I don't know if leaving it blank wouldn't be better.

^What is the weather predicted to be like? (its going to be upper 70s and sunny down here in NOLA :-D)

So Cleveland's problem all along has been warewolves? If we just had silver bullets..... I have always expected/hoped the MMCC would be a catalyst for attracting downtown visitors, thus strengthening the hospitality sector and boosting the prestige of our medical community. I feel our competitive advantage is the fact that MMPI will be running the facilities and has the ability to operate the facility differently than our competition

I used to run there when I lived in the south loop. Sometimes I was more afraid of the people on bikes than people on cars. No offense North Andre

Thanks for the update!

^I have heard that one half of the island is gay, the other half is red neck

I'll take it. GO TRIBE!

I think the trans fats ban will be a tougher sell

We need better taxi service.

I also don't think the county ever really considered moving into the Bruer tower, the plan was to demo it and build new.

^Let's stay on topic

It was part of the redevolopment scope. Rumor has it that it may be part of the Avengers movie

I can't find it on forbes.com, was it Steve Forbes or another editor?
