Whats the farthest distance in which you can still see downtown Cleveland? The farthest that I have seen is from route 90 in Eastlake Ohio

 

Do you mean Route 2?

 

SOM Center

Can somebody please tell me what that building with all the garage doors on Johnson Ct in the warehouse district is?

Is there anything in there now? The garages look like they would be perfect spots for storefronts. And above could be apartments. Unless there is currently something in the building of course

Route 91, not 90.

 

The skyline is visible from parts of Penitentiary Glen http://www.lakemetroparks.com/select-park/penitentiaryglen.shtml.  By the way, beautiful park at the site of the Halle family farm (Owners of the Halle department store downtown, now the Halle building.) There's a really interesting wildlife center there with a large exhibit of local wildlife. (To a 2 year old, a few owls, a bald eagle, a couple turtles and some deer are about as interesting as the zoo.)

 

I think it's also visible from a couple places in CVNP.

Not sure, but the Cuyahoga River bridge on I-80 where you can see the skyline might be farther out, as the crow flies, than SOM.

building is empty now, except for some storage on the first level - if you find a crack you can see hundreds of old work desks stacked on top of each other.

 

the building is structurally sound - the owner has been keeping up on maintenance to roof and brick work - but it would require significant investment to convert into anything other than a warehouse type building.  It also isn't 1 building - each section has slightly different column placements internally.

What are the best residential streets in Ohio City and Tremont?

Does anyone know where I can find a notary in downtown? Banks all want you to have an account there, and I use an internet bank.

Yes, I work right next to Shaker Circle in the middle of Cincinnati just down the road from OSU and Wright Patt, that's why I came into the Cleveland quick questions thread to ask about a notary in Downtown Toledo.  :roll:

I wasn't trying to have an attitude, just messing with you for thinking I was from Cinci. 

 

Thanks, I should have thought of the Notary Commission. FYI though, the FedEx on 9th doesn't have a notary in case anyone else ever needs one.

What are the best residential streets in Ohio City and Tremont?

 

Best for what?

 

Best stock of houses? Best streets to live? I want to take someone on a tour of the area and wanted to know what streets where the best to show them?

*scratches head*

 

I think that MayDay's point is that even "best stock of houses" and "best streets to live" are subjective terms and depend on the age of a person, income, what they are looking for, etc.

 

Take Tremont: If I were an empty-nester with a comfortable income, I'd choose the W 7th/Literary area, but those are all new houses, and wouldn't appeal to those who want large porches or older homes like those around Lincoln Park.

 

My advice: just walk around. The neighborhoods aren't that big.

 

(EDIT: It's rather like asking "what's the best food?" and then providing clarification by asking "you know, what's the best food to eat?")

What about... What streets have the best restored Victorians?

 

And I can appreciate the new housing as well, so I would assume Literary and West 5th and 6th would be good for that.

But what streets have the best restorations?

 

Are those a little better questions?

There isn't much Victorian architecture in Tremont.  If you're looking for that style, though, walk around Lincoln Park (look at W. 11 and Starkweather, especially,) and the entire length of W. 14th street.  There are some gorgeous mansions still standing, and they're clustered west and north of Lincoln Park and south of Clark Avenue.

I asked about Ohio City and Tremont

What are the best residential streets in Ohio City and Tremont?

 

Best for what?

 

Best stock of houses? Best streets to live? I want to take someone on a tour of the area and wanted to know what streets where the best to show them?

 

I like Joy, Bridge, Franklin, West 44th, and Clinton in Ohio City.

 

Tremont I like West 11th, West 14th, Fruit, West 10th, Fairfield and Professor.

 

Your question was just fine btw - It was a quick, random question. Answers should be as well. Some people apparently don't get that.

Thanks! That helped a lot. I checked them out on googlemaps real quick. Did you mean Jay when you said Joy?

Yes - apologies. Jay right off of W.25th. Lots of neat houses/cottages.

If you want to check out mansions, Franklin is the must see street in those two neighborhoods.  W. 14th is also nice, though the homes aren't as large or ornate for the most part (a few are).  In addition to streets mentioned already, I like W. 31st Pl., a very narrow, quiet little alley of a street with lots of nicely restored homes.

Definitely not in your tour radius, but the area just north of CWRU ha some great Victorians.  Some of the best in the City IMO

Thanks guys! And hts121, do you any specific streets i could check? Also are they restored or are they somewhat run down?

"Your question was just fine btw - It was a quick, random question. Answers should be as well. Some people apparently don't get that."

 

I *get* that, but as Avogadro said - was he asking about the housing stock, raising a family, etc. Anyway, one of my favorites is at the southern end of West 14th on the west side of the street just before the "Vortex of Death". 

^^ Magnolia, Wade Park Ave..... that area.  Some are renovated, some dont need renovation, some are run down.  Do a tour on google street view and see what you think.  I believe there is a whole row of renovated Victorians on E105... Or maybe that is E115 I am thinking of.

Yeah ive seen those ones, they are definitely nice. I passed by a several weeks ago on the bus and noticed someone was doing a rehab on one of the houses on the east side of the road.

Thanks! Are you talking about that little section of houses right in the middle of UH on E115?

No... I believe (but not sure) that the row I am thinking of is on 105 between Wade Park and Asbury.

Okay i think i found it. There are some nice houses there. But there seems to be a few with boarded up windows with poor yards. Maybe they aren't like that anymore.

The google images are probably a few years old, so there will be some renovations that don't show up there.  However, you have to keep in mind that the neighborhood is somewhat of a frontier of gentrification.  It is still very rough around the edges, if you know what I mean. 

What is the best way to find who owns a specific small business in Cleveland?  Other than calling them and asking obviously.

You can look up in a few places.

 

manta.com is a Dun & Bradstreet database which lists company size, and who key personnel are. You have to register to see most of the info, but it's free. Keep in mind, the info they give you is sometimes dated, and is only as good as the last time someone updated it.

 

You can look up on the Secretary of State website, and do a business name search, and it will tell you who the listed agent is (not always the owner), but sometimes the scanned articles of formation are included (presuming the entity is incorporated / LLC). If it's a sole proprietorship, they don't have that info.

 

I have access to a couple databases that I could use to search for you. PM me the name of the company and I can look it up.

Whats the farthest distance in which you can still see downtown Cleveland? The farthest that I have seen is from route 90 in Eastlake Ohio

 

From the south, you can see downtown (the Big 3) from the Pine Hills Golf Course which is on W. 130th on the Hinckley/Brunswick border in Medina County. That's a good 25 miles south. In the same general area, there is a pretty good view a mile or so north on Boston Road/W. 130th on the Strongsville/Brunswick border. From the west, I know there are views from Avon Lake near the power plant, which is on the far west side of the city, so another good 25 miles away.

Not sure, but the Cuyahoga River bridge on I-80 where you can see the skyline might be farther out, as the crow flies, than SOM.

 

I was going to mention the turnpike over the Cuyahoga too, but the above places are probably further than either.

Here's a question. Where was this video shot, specifically the block after block of abanonded apartments starting around the 2:10 mark?

 

 

It's a shame this area has become desolate beyond repair, because in its heyday, there had to be close to 20,000 people per square mile living there. Now, it rivals North St. Louis and Detroit in terms of dilapidation.

 

Edit: I should've read the comments. Looks like area is off Euclid in East Cleveland. Still a damn shame that neighborhood was allowed to be ruined and will never return.

Never say never.  As UC improves EC, Hough, Fairfax and S. Glenville are prime to return.

Yes.  That appears to be EC.  Somewhere along Eddy Rd, I believe.

 

EC is gone.... at least for our lifetime.

The multifam stuff in that video is indeed from between the rapid tracks and Euclid in EC, specifically in this box:

We talk about building TOD....but we're losing many more transit-accessible units every years than we can possible even conceive of building.

Believe it or not, Eastlake and Pine Hills Golf Course are almost exactly the same distance from Public Square (right around 16.7 miles as the crow flies).  The power plant in Avon Lake is a little further at 18.5 miles, which is almost identical to the distance from Public Square to Gildersleeve Mountain in Kirtland, which I believe is widely considered to have the best long-distance views of downtown.

The title of the video is misleading then, no?

If the writer meant "City of Cleveland", then yeah, I suppose so.  The comments to the clip are pretty entertaining in their own right.

I wasn't taking into consideration "crow's" distance with Pine Hills, but still would've guessed that's further than 17 miles. Anyway, that distance shot from Kirtland is amazing, way better than Pine Hills.

 

As for Avon Lake, from the ground the view of downtown isn't as great as the one from Kirtland. But if you "cheat" and go on the roof of the CEI (or whatever it's called now) plant, the view from Avon Lake is arguably better. Of course not everybody can get up there, but my uncle worked for the company when I was in high school in the 90s and took me on a tour of the facility. That was was great in itself, went on some catwalks atop the building that was scary but great at the same time. But I digress.

 

We also went on the roof (again was pretty scary because the wind was whipping off the lake) but the view blew me away. It's pretty similiar to Kirtland, obviously from west to east instead of vice versa, except you have the Gold Coast in the foreground, which is the trump card.

 

Too bad I can't get back up there or I would take some pictures. It wasn't just downtown Cleveland, look west and there are some views of Lorain that show how expansive the Ford and U.S. Steel plants are/were in that city.

 

Why does Cleveland seem to lack any really good night shots? Maybe they exist and I just havent seen them. Ones likes

Wonder Bar

Chinato

La Strada

and now Dredger Union?

 

Condos? Offices?

 

Come to think of it, whats above the greenhouse tavern and house of blues as well? Thanks

Greenhouse Tavern takes up both floors of it's building.  HOB takes up all three floors of it's building- the upper two floors are the Foundation Room, which is the HOB private club.
