click on the bookmarklet in which article? this sounds like a good tool to have!

Assuming that that is true, what do expect from a place with a name like "BJ's Brewhouse"? It certainly doesn't sound like a place with decent food. At best, maybe okay burgers.

^Thanks. I agree, I guess. Just a strange way to write something.

Spirit is adding Hopkins-EWR starting in July--in what is Sprit's only new route add in July. This is good news as CO/UA has had a monopoly on the route for years and this should bring prices down on CLE-NYC. https://www.cleveland.com/business/2020/06/spirit-airlines-adding-new-cleveland-to-newark-route-will-take-on-united-in-new-york-city-region.html (I am writing this here because the Hopkins Airport thread is locked. "Locking" a thread seems like a strange way to deal with a perceived issue as it prevents legitimate posts from being made. The other day, I was going to add to the conversation on the Hopkins thread where I thought something inappropriate was said. Instead I couldn't--and no one can. And now I can't post a new route for the city, despite the global pandemic and traffic down 95%.)

^Is Cleveland included---or "locations SUCH AS....Cleveland"?

Perhaps, but I'd take the city running the airport any day over the county, which has zero experience. And about the county, there is Jimmy Dimora & friends.... That has been well documented.

Looks like a cheap hotel like a Residence Inn or something.

Great scoop and story, KJP! Your "just wait...." Are you suggesting there's ANOTHER project coming east of the CBD?

Hopkins will DOUBLE the amount of service in June......from 20 daily flights to about 40. "Next month, Hopkins airport will reinstate nonstop service to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Newark, Washington Reagan, Miami, St. Louis, Raleigh/Durham, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, SC, and Norfolk." https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/several-nonstop-flights-return-to-hopkins-airport-next-month/

Right now the tallest bldg (or structure that has people working in it) in the City west of the Cuyahoga is the FAA Tower at Hopkins Airport--I believe it is 324 feet.

Story about this bldg in today's WSJ. I don't have a subscription so couldn't read most of it other than the first few lines. Country’s Tallest Wooden Building Rising in Cleveland Ambitious project proceeds despite coronavirus crisis "In Cleveland, a developer is moving ahead with an ambitious project despite the pandemic: the country’s tallest wooden building. The nine-story development, dubbed Intro, will include 298 apartments, retail space and an event venue. It is being built primarily with mass timber, a type of pressed wood that is gaining popularity as a climate-friendly alternative to steel and concrete...." https://www.wsj.com/articles/countrys-tallest-wooden-building-rising-in-cleveland-11590494402

^Hmmmm.....a BBQ place that doesn't do ribs?! I should protest that, but looking at the photos on their webpage, it looks hard to resist. I'll check them out next time I'm in Tremont.

^Cool---More BBQ the better! will have to check it out. I see ribs in the photos on their website, but not on the menu? https://proofcleveland.com/menu/

Remember, these are only estimates. I don't know the Census Bureau's methodology. Do they know about all the new housing units Downtown, University Circle, and the Near West Side? or do they simply follow past trends and maybe employment numbers? Not sure. Either way, hopefully they are very wrong---and that we see the city at 450,000 or so at the 2020 Census.

Looks good. That balcony on the right in the before picture looks a little scary to step onto.

City population Estimates for 2019 are out. The Census Bureau has the city STILL losing people---consistently less than 1% per year. It also puts Cuyahoga County at: 1,235,072 down 0.5% from 1,241,718 in 2018. https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/data/tables.html

Is a shipping container really the best material for living/construction? I get the novelty of it, but in practical terms, is it up to code? For example, will the walls be thick enough to keep the cold out in winter?

^and in the city of cleveland, it is only 45.3%. Some of the Cleveland suburbs are in the high 70s. For comparison: Columbus 56.0%, Cincinnati 50.6% https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html The Census Bureau has restarted field operations in some states. Ohio is not one of them yet.

Once a vaccine is in place, I think things will return to normal fairly quickly. Look at the bars and restaurants across the US upon opening--people are dying to get back to their normal---pre-COVID---lifestfyles---and plans.

^Thanks. That proves my earlier point above. Companies not at the lease renewal point cannot just decide to go WFH---as they are stuck in a long-term lease.

was your switch to WFH permanently related to COVID-19 or just coincidental timewise?

WFH may be relevant if a lease renewal is near, which is not the case for most companies. So they are stuck with a x years left on a 10-year lease--WFH means a companies is stuck with empty office space unless they can sublease it. So there's no financial benefit for a company to let everyone WFH full time. They may let employees do a few days/week maybe, but ultimately i think the office life will return. As the gig economy grows, we'll see more WFH as that has been a growing trend pre-COVID--and that trend won't change.

An employer can't legally release such stuff can they? I thought all former employers can say is that a person worked there between x and x dates.

The City issued complaint notices to Lago and Mulberry--Mulberry for opening up volleyball. Also, the City issued a complaint notice AND notice of violation to TownHall and Harry Buffalo.

Occupancy codes usually aren't an issue. If a restaurant is at its occupancy code, there are no more tables left to sit at anyway. For covid-19, the occupancy levels are far lower than the limit for building/fire safety. I've never seen Giant Eagle or Heinens packed to the gills to even approach their build code occupancy limit, but now there's a staffer out front metering people in and out.
