I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't considering a dome. In that case, it *could* put the city in play for other events like Super Bowl, NCAA final 4, etc.

Interesting. Could the airport still function in some capacity? I think the most accurate answer I can provide is "hell if I know" but just looking at the footprint of the port, and the airport, it looks like there is enough land

Since we are wildly speculating, and don.t really know what is being cooked up, how about moving the port to Burke and redeveloping the entire lakefront from the river to North Coast Harbor

Anyone care to speculate on the value of the land the Browns are on? Could a lease (because I don’t think legally that land can be sold) be enough to be considered a significant funding mechanism for a new stadium?

^Continental had a London route for a hot minute about 10 years ago

If the Browns make me choose between loyalty to the Buckeyes vs. loyalty to the Browns [quickly remembers the last 20 years of each program] Bye Bye Browns

That is how it was done in Atlanta, when I flew back from London

Full disclosure - I’m a contract engineeer for Shell This article has some interesting nuggets about future demand. From what I have heard, we are about 3 years away from “Peak Gasoline” defines as the peak demand for gasoline, is within the next 5 years. http://amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2018/01/24/royal-dutch-shell-lower-oil-prices/?source=dam

Remind me - is it Highland Hills the area where Cleveland gets half the property tax because of the Figge deal in the 80s?

It operates like a large linear motor. Like rotating motors, starting, stopping, acceleration and deceleration are controlled my the interaction of the stator and the rotor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

Absolutely, if you accidentally go back to 1994. But, same for Tremont in Cleveland. :) If you do decide to come to NOLA and are thinking about an Air BnB, shoot me a PM and I'll give you recomondations for neighborhoods. There is only one I would advise against, and even there its unlikely to be a problem.

Exactly the same. Elizabeth Holmes scammed a lot of rich people out of money without creating anything. Elon Musk is exactly the same. Not one person I know has ever used PayPal, and all those SpaceX flights launching satellites, payloads for the international space center and soon astronauts is all fake news and photoshop. Tesla is an Obama administration false flag. OK, I seriously do not get the animosity toward Hyperloop because it was an idea from Elon Musk. For the record, Elon Musk does not own Hyperloop One, or Hyperloop Technologies, or any of the hyperloop companies out there. He just and an idea that maglev might actually work if it was in an encapsulated environment. He helped Hyperloop One by allowing some work to be done at SpaceX, but no SpaceX employees are Hyperloop One employees.

meanwhile in traditional rail projects SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Cost of San Francisco-Los Angeles bullet train jumps 20 percent to $77 billion, opening date extended 4 years to 2033.

YABO713[/member] My flights from New Orleans on Delta lately have been half the price of Southwest

there are other parts of the world ready to implement Hyperloop https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-19/billionaire-richard-branson-unveils-hyperloop-plans-for-india

Correct, because if it was an Amtrak proposal it would be sensible, by a proven operator, based on already existing technology, and about 1,000 times more likely to actually come to fruition. Is that always true? https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/19/us/amtrak-derailment-washington/index.html

Just to sum - if a hypothetical headline said: "High speed rail being explored to connect Chicago and Cleveland" If its Amtrak - good? If its Hyperloop - bad?

Like a water cannon is a squirtgun LOL. I’ve done some casual consulting with Hyperloop One. The best way to fabricate the tube, and the required quality of welding in order to maintain the vacuum, with the stress and fatigue of running a rail system within it, is a technical, logistical and cost challenge

One of the reasons this Hyperloop company selected Cleveland was the manufacturing knowhow of the region. Even if Hyperloop does not come to Cleveland, Cleveland companies may get a leg up on competition for fabrication technology of the tube, which is essentially a pipeline

I feel dumb for not knowing Daniel Burnham was the architect of the May Company building

I think I found a commercial for the contractors for this project

I mentioned this in the Ohio economy thread, but with Apple announcing they will also build a second HQ somewhere in the states, I think Columbus has a legitimate shot. Apple has strong ties to Ohio State.

Yesterday Apple announced they are going to have a second headquarters somewhere as well. Its not a stretch to think Columubus will have a good shot, based on Apple & Ohio State's relationship https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/05/ohio-state-university-apple/ https://www.curbed.com/2018/1/17/16902190/apple-new-campus-headquarters-jobs

Downtown still has 95% occupancy rates. That is still healthy.

I think I see Koenig's :)
