  1. Updates New Firestone is open Old La Fiesta building is down. Old Sears building is being demolished. Old Firestone building being emptied Meijer exterior up/parking lots paved.
  2. LOL, And, with this, think about what they have rejected or complained about in the past on other projects!
  3. Does the local/county participation in the extension of the DUB flight through 2027 imply that the service cannot (yet) stand on its own?
  4. It's as though Original NuCLEus and The Beacon married and produced offspring. I kinda like it.
  5. It's like looking for a needle in a Hyatt stack
  6. Transfer, the $40MM from Centennial, hehe.
  7. Buy plain panels and hire an artist.
  8. I'm hoping that, if those trees were to be removed, they would already have been cut down.
  9. I believe the 210' depth is up near Dunkirk, NY. The western basin, near the islands, is under 40', but, lol, I will accept a fact check. For comparison, the Oresund and Kerch bridges are 10-12 miles lomg, so were talking at least four of either of them back to back.
  10. There are also renovations underway on another Detroit Ave building. It might be 5017 orcsoething.
  11. Is the area, where the stadium would be, flat, or would much of it require significant earth moving? I know that E. 9th St. slopes down toward the river, and this site is just west of it.
  12. LOL, more white paneling surrounding windows, groan.
  13. Going for the ultimate construction geek award with this one. First letter being hoisted to the east face.
  14. LOL, is the old Richfield Coliseum land still vacant?
  15. Yesterday, some digging at the south side construction site on Willey between the RR tracks and Columbus Rd. Is this project coming out of project limbo?
  16. One of the lots on Carter up against the cliff (across from the Lake Link Trail) appears to have a lower level for a house built, as of yesterday.
  17. ^The Courthouse Plaza development, which would have occupied the notch between the Detroit-Superior Bridge and the Rapid Transit viaduct would have been just that, with the Settlers' Landing station across the street, but Courthouse Plaza never materialized.
  18. LOL, maybe they could repurpose part of the Burke (BKL) terminal as a cruise/ferry terminal. The infrastructure is there. Is the channel deep enough?
  19. Look what is parked today north of Browns' stadium. I admit I did a double take. There were also a military looking ship and two "Federal" freighters.
  20. My original impression from earlier renderings was that of a sperm whale, and I wanted a jet of water into the air feature at the front end. The Cleveland Clinic square could be one eye, and you can imagine the gaping mouth below.
  21. I am trying to understand this proposal. Are you saying, run the NS freight trains, east of Superior RTS, up the CSX (New York Central) short line to Collinwood and along I-90/SR-2 out to somewhere in Lake County, where they would connect back to the NS line? The rapid transit would then use the current NS line that runs north of Euclid Avenue, or is it something else? There are a number of at grade crossings in South Collinwood, Euclid and Wickliffe.
  22. I thought that the very, very first design was objected to, because the lack of a setback on W. 25th St. would obscure St. Malachi, but the final, final design appears to do the same thing. What am I missing?
  23. LOL, I thought that "lipstick on a pig" refers to superficial upgrades to something unappealing that already exists. Here they are actually building the initial pig. I assume you refer to earlier, recent designs as the pigs, and you are quie right.
  24. LOL, you mean like: a nail salon, Starbucks, Chipotle, and a cell phone store?
