True---and in this case being misinformed could have dire consequences. People may stop wearing masks and acting safely at the end of May because the PD told them everyone is vaccinating at the end of May. Just another example of $hitty cleveland.com has become.

What a bizzare set to compare---why Kingstown? That's a tiny town two hours away from NYC. Compare Kingstown to Wooster, maybe. Or compare CLE to NYC----but not Cleveland, Chicago, and some random small town across the Hudson River that is two hours away from NYC. CLE and Chicago are not competing with Kingston, NY for jobs; museums or city amenities or not comparable between CLE/CHI and Kingston, NY.....makes no sense.

^Didn't someone say at one point that street-level retail is required along W3?

Building the 21st Century City: The Future Is Now! Symposium on the future of Cleveland by ULI Cleveland and the City of Cleveland. I just came across this now. It's tomorrow afternoon and all day Wednesday (March 3). If anyone can attend, please take notes and report back! https://cleveland.uli.org/

@FerrariEnzo - Thanks for the images and field reporting! These images of this building are so cold and lifeless. No street-level anything---not even a coffee shop. I really hope something like this isn't destined for us.

Hope Sewell wasn't KJP's source!

There are literally millions of colors between white and black.....too bad there was simply no imagination here.

^I really dislike this giant dark bldg. It would have been so much nicer if they bulit it as two or three separate bldgs and perhaps done something creative in between them like a playground or park for either the public or just residents or something other than more black building that creates one giant wall.

^Who's terry?

I was looking at this chart: https://www.centerforcleveland.org/current-cle-projects#Summary by Neighborhood and Project Type and was thinking there are so many residential projects around, and outside of Downtown and University circle, not really any commercial projects and then just read @KJP's comment immediately above. Should we be encouraging--or should somebody be building--some commercial projects in the neighborhoods as well? Otherwise it seems imbalanced that we have only housing, housing, housing. Or should we keep all commercial predominately only in the traditional areas (Downtown, Flats, Univ Circle, Midtown Corridor, etc.) and not build anything in other parts of the city like Hough, Glenville, Mt. Pleasant, Old Brooklyn, Cudell, etc.? Personally, I would love to see development everywhere. Thoughts?

Perhaps she's too weak for politics---she needs to explain to her constituents why this is a good thing for them. If she can't handle that, she needs to be voted out. This project is good for her ward and the city and if she is blocking it, she is bad for her constituents (even if they think otherwise), her ward, and the city. As a city, we are suffering too long with crappy leaders like Ken Johnson, this woman---and she's only been in office a few weeks, Mayor Jackson, etc. No excuses.

Is the new councilwoman who took over Matt Zone's ward, Jenny Spencer? WTF? Why would she be against it--publicly or privately? Its good for her district. She's up for election this November. Unless she can state a good reason, she should be booted out. I'll happily campaign for and fund her opponent.

That's good---that its not dead. Just very quiet. I hate their last renderings; if it does get built, hopefully they'll return to their earlier designs which included a decent-height tower, the "Lane", and the hotel. Could live without the hotel if the height came back and the building is flush with Prospect not at a strange angle as last proposed.

Is the hotel at Nucleus dead....or is all of nucleus dead?

and one 160-room hotel in University Circle as part of the Circle Square project.

Yes--the rental car operations moved about 20 years ago--and its completely fine. The airport proper should have some office bldgs and hotels---not giant parking lots for an already-functional rental car facility. This is just asinine to move it again. And why would you want Brook Park to get anything from the airport? They've been constantly fighting the airport for decades and hurting all of metro Cleveland in the process. They should be the last community to benefit from anything the airport does.

Or, given that there is some history here that we may not be privy to as to why the city did not want the county (or its contracted convention services company) to touch it or book events there, maybe the city could contract with Playhouse Square people to operate it, including managing bookings as well.

Within Public Auditorium, there are: Public Hall seats 9000 Music Hall seats 3000 Little Theater seats 600 Registration lobby is 21,780 square feet each of which may be rented for an event/concert. http://www.city.cleveland.oh.us/CityofCleveland/Home/Government/CityAgencies/ParksRecreationandProperties/AuditoriumandConferenceCenter/EventPlanners

I agree, the city should advertise it more as a venue. I haven't heard of anything being booked there in years. Maybe now that they've completed the renovation they feel they're in a better position now to market it. Of course, now sure how competent the people are that are in charge of marketing it....

@KJP--what does #8, above, mean? what is "grf"?

^Ooops, sorry---I meant Nashville! I got the state right at least.

You mean this one: https://www.centerforcleveland.org/current-cle-projects? I refer to it all the time so have it bookmarked!

^Some justice in the world. Bridgestone (the world's largest tire maker) left Akron when it merged with Firestone and moved their US HQ to Memphis, and then built this: https://www.bridgestoneamericas.com/en/corporation/our-headquarters.

Interesting. Never heard of the "Cleveland style" lobster roll before! Where is this restaurant?

A company moved from SF to Cleveland: "At the moment, MCX Technologies is small, employing about 10 people. But [CEO] Kruchko said he sees that total growing to about 50 in Cleveland in the next three to five years, with total employment growing to about 150 to 200." https://www.crainscleveland.com/technology/mcx-technologies-corp-sees-opportunity-cleveland I get the point of the article that sometimes companies DO move to CLE from other places, but the article seems a little strange as, at the moment, it is only ten jobs, and it doesn't appear that its out of the blue as the CEO had already lived in CLE before so he already knew about the city. I know its positive news, but something seems strange about the article--anyone one else have that same read?
