Posted January 17, 201114 yr I looked and didnt see any thread for Ohio City for non construction/projects So here is the Discussion thread for the Ohio City neighborhood. I was in Ohio City last month and I noticed that they have really poor crosswalk lights. I think that is something that needs to be addressed to make the neighborhood more walking friendly. I took the train over(I feel like the stop needs to tie into west 25th better) and when I got to the cross walk, it was almost impossible to see. Not really safe and not a good first impression. It didn't really affect my opinion of course, but for someone from the outside, it could.
January 18, 201114 yr They should dig a tunnel under Lorain and 25th from the rapid station underground platform to the park

These seniors are a key element to the rebirth of this neighborhood and I feel it’s time we connect, or re-connect, them to businesses who are working hard to improve the quality of life in Ohio City.” · Participating restaurants in Neighbor Giving include: · ABC Tavern · Bon Bon · Crop · Dave’s · Flying Fig · Good to Go · Great Lakes Brewing Company · Humble Pie · Light Bistro · Nano Brew · Nate’s Deli and Restaurant · Orale · SoHo “Neighbor Giving is a perfect example of Ohio City’s story.

June 9, 20169 yr Young, highly educated professionals beat a path to Ohio City's door June 09, 2016 SCOTT SUTTELL MANAGING EDITOR A four-minute Wall Street Journal video and accompanying story use Ohio City as the focal point to examine why “a wave of young, educated, high-earning workers are flooding city neighborhoods … creating challenges and opportunities for urban development.” The video is a fun watch. Among the highlights: • A couple, Joe and Melanie Baur, both of whom grew up in the suburbs, explain why parks, walkable streets, diversity and other factors have made them converts to the city. • Bar/restaurant owner Sam McNulty, who moved to Ohio City 13 years ago, recounts the remarkable progress made since the neighborhood was filled with vacant storefronts and unsavory activity. A big reason for the success, he says: Ohio City is lively, diverse and “not a monoculture.” • Median income in the past decade in Ohio City has risen to $93,000 from $23,000. • Storefront vacancy is down to 2%, according to Tom McNair, executive director of Ohio City Inc. • Median home value has risen dramatically since 2000 to $270,000.

December 30, 20195 yr Is this project related to anything? All these trees keep getting chopped down in the Forest City: https://www.facebook.com/162099340623849/posts/1379658962201208/?d=n Edited December 30, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL
December 30, 20195 yr As a daily Red Line rider from Lakewood to Tower City this is very apparent from Gordon Square all the way to the W25. I would say over 200 mature trees have been cut down, and that's a conservative estimate. Completely unnecessary in my opinion, not sure who is in charge or what is going on here.
December 30, 20195 yr ^Insane. Tremont butchered first and now Ohio City. Reminder what was done in Tremont: https://fox8.com/2018/08/01/tree-trimming-causing-outrage-in-tremont-neighborhood/ Someone in Ohio City should let Portland, Oregon know they can extend their “Stumptown” branding over to us. (Even though Portland probably now has a magnitude more trees than the Forest City of Cleveland). Edited December 30, 20195 yr by MuRrAy HiLL

January 1, 20205 yr Thanks @KJP. Good tweet.

May 13, 20214 yr Hi guys - if anyone in and around Ohio City needs or wants dirt, I've got about 10-12 wheel barrels worth in my front yard. It'll be available until tomorrow afternoon - if it's not taken by then I'm pitching it. Let me know if you're interested.

December 24, 20213 yr 52 minutes ago, KJP said: This could probably go in the Cleveland crime thread but this is this is the next best place... Story after story confirming what terrible people they are.
December 24, 20213 yr Pretty sure if one of us spoke to the CPD like that, we’d be getting some follow up. Just another below-average rich guy, living off a fortune handed to him on a plate, thinking he’s beyond the law. My hovercraft is full of eels
