He he, how about a bike lane on the lake?

LOL, I do not resemble that remark.

One developer managed to convert the old NASAoffices north of Brook Park Rd.

Looks like ?the two floors below the swoop angle up at the edges. Is that real or an illusion?

My understanding is that the ridges south of the lake (Johnnycake, Butternut, Center Ridge etc al) are the remnants of old beaches that existed for a time since the last glaciation.

LOL, or left MIMI and CONNOR off the marquees

Maybe the marquee color is intended to blend with that of the chandelier supports and the metallic welcome archways.

Lorain Ave. has already been "dieted" from Ohio City to W. 150th. Any further dieting puts it in anorexic territory. Beyond W 150th, it is currently like a suburban main street. One curiosity I have had due to replacement of traffic capacity with bicycle lanes is, what expected bicycle volumes were assumed in making the decision to do it, or was it based on something else entirely? Today, existing bicycle lanes, when I drive in the city, are essentially empty, except for few hardy souls. Will there be a bicycle usage promotion to encourage more ridership? Is it thought that there is a large latent demand? Also, how should street front businesses provide for the securing of the bicycles, while the riders are patronizing their businesses? I had a fleeting visual of the old streetside hitching posts for horses seen in the old westerns.

^Makes some sense. Coasts have large populations, linearly aligned.

Does the SW (un)welcome center even go, stylewise, with the tower? Pubic Square has become a cool jumble of arcitectural styles, from terra cotta to modern glass, to mid century, to grey stone, to red or white brick brick, to shades of granite. Good news: no more empty lots around the perimeter.

"Authoritarian Leftists. lol?". Please elaborate. Who might these evil cads be, and what makes them authoriarian? One might not like the Left's policies, for example, inconveniencing people in trying to reduce Covid (a mask - oh the humanity) and gun related deaths, forcing food stamps on the poor, pushing affordable healthcare down the throats of those who need it, gasp, pushing for equal justice and equal rights for all, making voting more accessible, trying to keep the climate livable, pushing to get more taxes out of the wealthiest of us, promoting corporate responsibility, and shifting the individual vs societal responsibility balance slightly. However, they have not tried to fraudulently or forcibly overturn an election or make excuses for those who did. They are not promulgating a policy to remove federal agency independemce and subordinate the executive branch to the whims of an imperial President. The Left has a much weaker media force acting on their behalf, and the Right has managed to convince many that the Left is destroying the country without clearly proving how (by painting a bit of alternate reality). .

^^Yes, Ohio voters might, right now, be majority Republican, however, the gerrymandering skews the GOP legislative advantage larger than the statewide R vs D vote totals would warrant. It also affects the US House of Representatives R vs D counts. You do make an interesting point about some Republicans not buying into the more extreme GOP agenda items, but never being open to vote for a Democrat. (Democrats are not likely to ever win a marketing award, and to an excessive degree allow GOP messaging to characterize them). I would be interested to know how many voters exist in this category.

LOL: It occurred to me that in order to avoid being an example of hypocrisy, Issue 1, which would require a 60% majority to pass future Ohio constitutional amendments should itself require a 60% majority to pass.

^ And now, there is actual digging going on at E 59th and Euclid. What ever could it be for?

^ Fantastic, this project, though not 15 stories or 350,000 sq. ft. should be truly "transformational." I wish them the best.

I forgot to mention that a few days ago, I saw more technical drilling on the south side of Euclid Avenue, immediately east of the NS tracks, near E 55th St. Is something imminent here?

Today, there were vertical concrete columns up behind the Meijer/Medley, presumably for the garage.

And this. It is large.

Do we have enough photos of this development to make a time lapse film of our own?

LOL, this playbook fell out of a truck near my house. It read: 1. Campaign viciously, irrespective of truth, to win a legislative majority. 2. Control redistricting (IE. gerrymander) to lock in a larger than mathematically justified majority. 3. Pass restrictive, selfish policies. 4. Impede potential opponents' freedom to vote in as many ways as possible. 5. If #4 is not enough, change the rules to make it even harder to reverse the policies, even it was your own rule to begin with. And so on... I am trying to locate the playbook's owner. Help is requested.

I have seen a few in Lyndhurst

I saw one on Ridgebury Bl.

There's a lot of vacant land down there. What could it be?

Underside of LC Bridge from Canal Rd.

I had an amusing yet wacko thought. Leave the bridge permanently raised and build small footprint, parking garage like corkscrew ramp approaches on both sides. No need to fix its lift mechanisms. Cleveland's Lombard St. attraction.
