A bit of a preview on a smaller scale - Farrell Building downtown Richmond, VA

Target to open small-format store in Woodmere https://www.cleveland19.com/2021/10/13/former-woodmere-whole-foods-location-now-target-new-retail/

They should follow the Denver Union Station model - unique Cleveland centric restaurants, coffee shops, stores, etc. They could also add a large COhatch or similar space for people looking for a place to do work. If they can get Amtrak onboard, TC could really shine again. They bones are already there. https://unionstationindenver.com/

So this guy has a somewhat popular YouTube channel about cities, states and places. He recently published this video and it is filled with a lot of misinformation and typical old Cleveland stereotypes that persist along with some truths and decent video footage.

Unfortunately no. Chuy’s pulled out and it is now going to be a BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse.

I could not agree with you more. For a city the size of Dallas and with as much money is in the area, it is indeed meh. That said, companies continue to relocate there such as Toyota, which moved their entire operation there from beautiful SoCal to the sprawling mess that is the Northern Dallas suburbs.

I hate seeing articles like these popping up around the country. SW should not add extra stress to the people of Cleveland if they already know what their plans are. We have been disappointed too many times over the years. My biggest concern is always the airport. Loosing the hub with direct flights to so many large and midsize cities is a real concern for big corporations. This is a massive turning point for Cleveland, SW stays downtown and we keep the momentum going and then some, they leave and we are set back in a big way. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2019/09/17/sherwin-williams-is-hunting-a-new-headquarters-so-of-course-dallas-gets-a-mention/ http://www.wbap.com/2019/09/17/d-fw-could-be-considered-for-a-new-global-sherwin-williams-hq-and-rd-center/

After visiting downtown malls in Ottawa and Montreal last week, I am more bummed out than ever that Tower City cannot make retail work. The Rideau Centre in Ottawa (Ottawa is much closer in size to Cleveland than Montreal) recently underwent an extensive renovation and expansion and is very impressive for any city. I know Ottawa receives many more tourists than Cleveland because it is Canada's capital but there are many similarities as well. During the cold winters it is even more used than in summer. If tower city was properly redeveloped for retail with stores that fit the Cleveland demographic, I have no doubt it would succeed with the urban core growing, no matter how big online shopping gets. I love the tech hub idea but there are so many other buildings where this could go, such as a joint venture with the "medical mart", since they will have a lot of open space in the near future. https://www.cfshops.com/rideau-centre.html?cid=lis_rid_en_hp_gb

As seen in Montréal, these are such an easy way to add vibrant seasonal retail to the waterfront. Very cool looking and no need for expensive infrastructure that takes years of planning and searching for funding.

So many places are banking on being the hub of blockchain. Malta, the island nation, and Cleveland, are just two examples of this;
