Two different developments mentioned above. Pinecrest residences south of Chagrin Blvd. at Walnut Hills Dr. (Near the Wendy's) and Omni next to Cooper's Hawk and the Drury Inn south of Harvard.

I have to say that the design of the RRHOF addition, currently under construction, does not reflect a concern over space constraints.

Well, CLE got rid of the shuttle bus that used to take passengers from customs to the terminal, so the passengers did not have to go back into the secure area to get to the main part of the terminal, and could avoid repeating TSA screening. So, here we sit. The proposed, revamped (master plan) customs area will presumably have a direct exit into the terminal for CLE bound passengers.

Check out the last sentence in my previous post. LOL, I remember returning from Cancun with booze, connecting ar EWR, and having to leave the EWR TSA line to go back to CO ticketing,, where they gave me a box and let me check the bottles. Some things are worth it.

Since awkwardness in connecting from an incoming international flight to a US domestic flight has been a topic of discussion, I thought I would post this: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection said this week it is working with American Airlines to test a new procedure that could save time and aggravation for inbound travelers who are connecting to a U.S. domestic flight at their international arrival airport. Called the International Remote Baggage Screening initiative, it would eliminate the need for arriving passengers to recheck their bags onto their domestic connection "unless specifically referred by CBP for further inspection," the agency said. Instead, the bags would be transferred directly from the international flight to the airline operating the domestic connection." Source for the whole article: An SFGATE article posted on MSN.com It also mentions another initiative to be tested that will eliminate the second TSA screening at the connecting airport. Hope!

Sorry for the duplicate photos. Not sure how to get rid of them.

Speaking of views.

LOL. Remember, the clocks at the top of the building will be running slightly faster than those at the bottom. Don't be late for your meeting.

Maybe the city needs to tweak the criteria for applying the 100% tax abatement to a finer level. Just because parts of a "neighborhood" are hot, doesn't mean that there aren't less developable areas within it.

Sherwin and Key merging?😉

I remember Southgate, eating at Woolworth's or the Oriental Terrace, going to Sears and later, May's, etc. long before Severance opened in '63. My mom, ever the dedicated shopper, would drive all the way down there occasionally. It was impressive for its time. In fact, the whole route 8 corridor was very active. Remember Zayre and Uncle Bills? Is the site mixed use worthy today?

LOL, if things are becoming, as you say, "Stark," all we would have there would be a big parling lot. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

^Yes! And congratulations to St Louis for attaining some real architectural imagination in the designs of its new building projects. I hope they all get built.

^^Hey, imagine if that Baltimore Peninsula development were in this spot. It could have a viaduct level Transit station.

LOL, you will need someone to say, "Manténgase alejado de las puertas," after each stop.

Mostly in the room with the dining tables. I had a coffee there. Also, I talked to one of the vendors.

A few pics today at Centro Villa 25. Looks cool. Off to a good start. Mix of boutiques and food stalls. I did not try the goat stew

Doesn't making it an Interstate get you a higher federal match for construction and maintenance? Like 90-10 as opposed to 80-20? And, you're still doing the upgrade.

Canyons in Orange Village, across Harvard from Pinecrest, is a proposed 117 townhome 55 and over development getting approvals. Signs are up.

LOL, see you there.

The old Twinsburg Chrysler stamping plant, and the Ford engine parcels in Walton Hills and Brook Park have been cut up and recycled into industrial parks with large, nondescript warehouse-like buildings, and can no longer take a huge potential industrial user. I wonder if what's in those parks is the best use, or maybe it was the only likely use? There have to be larger parcels in the surrounding counties, sprawl notwithstanding. Would we turn down an Intel because of sprawl?

No, Seven Hills on Broadview, south of Pleasant Valley is open, and one is planned for the old Sears land at Southland in Middleburg Hts.

Goodman Real Estate now has world class signs up along the perimeter fences offering acre-ish outlots for lease. I wonder what businesses would occupy those sites? Meijers often have a mix of fast food and small retail/auto parts stores in front of them, eg. Brimfield.
