A transit station in the WHD may house those busses, and give RTA riders a better enviroment to wait for their bus. This is something I hope the new Group plan is looking into.

I have a feeling it will echo the Stokes wing of the library. Modern, but tied into the rest of the group plan.

Did you scare people away from the streets of Cleveland? Quit doing that!

its so over the top, its nothing to worry about.

KJP, any news that you have heard? One question, based on the quality of the discussions of the new group plan, how far north would the NCTC go? Is it possible it can be configured to at least visually link to the "Phase 1" development along the lake that the Port had planned, and still says is viable?

SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT!!!

But what about the connectivity to Tower City? (sorry) This whole project has the potential to have the biggest impact on the city since Gateway, maybe more, especially if the NCTC is born out of this. I am exited what the group plan has in store for Public Hall. Strap - they are probably waiting to unveil sledding as a WOW factor when they are ready to release plans to the public.

I was a sceptic of the farm at first, so happy to be proved wrong

And now that we are on the subject of politics..............a friendly reminder to get back on topic.

From the encylopedia of cleveland history http://ech.cwru.edu/ech-cgi/article.pl?id=SRCH STOUFFER RENAISSANCE CLEVELAND HOTEL (formerly Stouffer's Inn on the Square) is the most recent hotel to occupy the historic PUBLIC SQUARE site at the intersection of Superior Ave. at the Square. Phinney Mowrey built a popular tavern there in 1812; Donald MacIntosh bought it in 1820 and operated it as the Cleveland Hotel until it was destroyed by fire in 1840. Rebuilt, it became the Forest City House, and for 6 decades the hostelry was a social, commercial, and historical center of Cleveland. By 1915 the landmark structure was a shabby reminder that much downtown activity had moved further uptown. In an attempt to revitalize the Public Square area, investors closed the old hotel and built a new 1,000-room Hotel Cleveland at a cost of $4.5 million. The VAN SWERINGEN† brothers acquired it as part of their Terminal Complex in the 1920s, and after considering its replacement, reinforced the structure instead and dug a tunnel underneath the building to accommodate their rapid transit project. Although the fortunes of the hotel sagged during the Depression, along with those of the Van Sweringens, the Hotel Cleveland remained under the control of the Cleveland Terminal Bldg. Co. through the late 1940s, when its ownership left the city. In 1958 the hotel was acquired by the Sheraton chain, which renamed it the Sheraton-Cleveland and installed a new $5.2 million ballroom as part of its renovation. However, the hotel faltered during the 1960s as the advantages of its central location were offset by traffic problems. An investor group, STS (Save-the-Square, Inc.), rescued it from receivership in 1976, paying off the creditors and restoring its former elegance. Managed by Stouffer Corp., the refurbished hotel reopened in 1978 as Stouffer's Inn on the Square. In 1989 it was renamed the Stouffer-Tower City Plaza. Renaissance International, a subsidiary of New World Enterprises, purchased the hotel in 1993 after a brief period of ownership by Nestle International. It then became the Stouffer Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. In early 1996, the hotel was scheduled to drop the Stouffer affiliation and become the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel.

Look for an awesome guy in an ohio state t-shirt walking slow so that the other runners would think they were fast

Was the Hotel Cleveland built up during the construction of the terminal tower? I don't see it in this picture. (or am I blind?)

I ran my 5th Chicago marathon today. My legs are sad.

I like the fearlessness of the whole idea, doing it right on Public Square

^Maybe public hall, unless Nesht studios is using it for their next blockbuster.

I just threw holy water on my computer, just in case God is a little more vengeful than he (or she) is portrayed on CBS

I just realized that every time I see this page updated, I expect it to be good news. How awesome is that

Thank you

HA!

Is the Sportsman still open?

Municipal stadium looks great in the central market pic

I know this question has been asked / complained about to death....but, are there any plans on cleaning the Landmark office tower? Great pics Mayday

This turned out better than I thought. Good for CCC.

^ I liked that they want to build a "Cuyahoga class" of ships :)
