  1. You are likely correct but Amazon might have enough to pull to attract workers from any location. That being said I won't be surprised if this ends up at one of those locations.
  2. All the more reason to hand them Burke to build a campus.
  3. What's sad is that Aldi's and the bank were built relatively recently and each could've been build up to 117th without sacrificing parking.
  4. I sort of feel that Columbus might have an edge for an Ohio location due to the presence of OSU but I somehow feel this is going to end up on the East Coast TBH.
  5. Totally agree with your comments. But I think there are two other areas that could work for an HQ like this. The Opportunity Corridor being one, even though along the OP I don't think the infrastructure is in place. The second spot that I think could work for an Amazon HQ2 is the May Co. building on PS. It has the initial 500,000 sq ft of space Amazon is seeking. And for future expansion, Amazon could build on the old May Co parking garage site, Jacobs PS site, and of course the super block site in the Ware House District. I initially thought about Opportunity Corridor too. Perhaps there's a site on East 105th near the IBM (Explorys) construction which puts them near CWRU.
  6. This seems like something GCP or TeamNEO should be doing rather than City of Cleveland. The RFP states they only want one submission from each MSA. I only say to offer Burke because I think a waterfront location could be compelling for Amazon. But I also realize it's a pipe dream to get them here too.
  7. Here's the RFP https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/Anything/test/images/usa/RFP_3._V516043504_.pdf Cleveland should offer up Burke
  8. Tell me more about this Brennan's Fish house please.
  9. I'm not sure that the place ever gained any traction but Old City Libations announced they are closing.
  10. I don't know much about the Bengals deal but I think it was created after the Browns left Cleveland. Perhaps the powers in Cincinnati feared that the Bengals would suffer the same fate.
  11. I should just make the trip out there to get some tacos at La Mexicana. My Lake Co. friends have been raving about them. Maybe I can take a day long excursion with the misses and visit some wineries while we are at it.
  12. Owner of the building wanted to sell it to a developer to build....... a gas station.
  13. I can't watch the video right now. The important question: will there be authentic tacos?
  14. Law firm is moving back Downtown to be part of the renaissance. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170903/news/134251/fisher-phillips-back-downtown-renaissance?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social
  15. ^ wait until it actually closes and everyone will start complaining that it took them 3 minutes longer to get to where they were going.
  16. magic number 14
  17. I told everyone to remain calm. In 18 months when this thing is completed, all of the fussing about a late will seem silly.
  18. The County Auditor shows a transfer in ownership as of September 1.
  19. There are also "sidewalk closed" signs which will likely be in place very shortly.
  20. Construction fencing delivered today. There is a flatbed truck outside with fencing on it. We should see the coveted crane soon.
  21. down4cle replied to a post in a topic in Urbanbar
    I hate spitting. Only acceptable if you're sick, running, or a baby.
  22. Very soon
  23. ^ I think the same thing is true for ArcelorMittal as well.
  24. ^ I can't say much more.
  25. soon.....
