October 11, 20177 yr Here comes Lucky's grocery store at West 116th and Clifton. The rest of Clifton Shoppes is coming along, at West 117th. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 11, 20177 yr ^Drove by there this past weekend just to check it out. The Clifton Shoppes are coming along quite nicely. It will be a nice addition to such a great neighborhood (easily one of my faves)... For all its greatness, Edgewater gets very little booserism from Positively Cleveland and other groups as compared to places like Tremont, downtown and Ohio City. Wonder why that is?

Doesn't need the help. It's still in better shape than any of the hotspots. And half the neighborhood is in Lakewood so neither side feels responsible to promote it alone.

Doesn't need the help. It's still in better shape than any of the hotspots. And half the neighborhood is in Lakewood so neither side feels responsible to promote it alone. I'm just talking about Edgewater, which is entirely in Cleveland. The Lakewood areas are nice and I realize the Shoppes themselves literally sit across the street from Lakewood, but Edgewater, including the Detroit corridor (from W. 110 to W. 117), is attractive in its own right (although I realize there's some blight around Detroit).
November 2, 20177 yr Finally! There's visible progress on the new location for the Clifton Diner, at Hird & Clifton in Lakewood. Their old location is due to open any day now as The Landmark Deli.

November 22, 20177 yr Is w116 going to be an enormous blank wall? It doesn’t appear there will be any windows.
November 22, 20177 yr Is w116 going to be an enormous blank wall? It doesn’t appear there will be any windows. I stopped in Papa Nicks a few days ago--that appears to be the loading dock and back-of-house. Hopefully they have a tasteful mural commissioned....

November 22, 20177 yr Is w116 going to be an enormous blank wall? It doesn’t appear there will be any windows. Looks that way. Ain't it purty?
November 22, 20177 yr Never saw that ^ and I'm not sure how that fact eluded us, the tastemakers of NEO. It's disconcerting that's even allowable in 2017.
November 22, 20177 yr Never saw that ^ and I'm not sure how that fact eluded us, the tastemakers of NEO. It's disconcerting that's even allowable in 2017. Unfortunately they probably demanded a loading dock. Not sure how they could have laid the site out any better to avoid this blank wall.
November 22, 20177 yr Architecturally, I think the peaked roof at the former Giant Eagle is very unique and worth preserving. I would bet anyone on this board (limit 3 people) one local draft beer that any new construction will have lesser street/sidewalk presence than the current setup. Nobody wanted to bet me.

December 22, 20177 yr Strange, the place looked pretty good imho. Here's hoping Scalish just keeps moving west right along Detroit. That's one shabby stretch of road.
December 22, 20177 yr I've seen worse. The new townhouses look great. That's your standard? That places look worse? Ha!
December 22, 20177 yr I've seen worse. The new townhouses look great. I didn't like the new townhomes on paper but they look much better in person. I'm glad to see the new development in Lakewood.
December 22, 20177 yr Signs are starting to appear on the new Clifton Shoppes development at Clifton Blvd and West 117th Street in Cleveland. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

March 7, 20187 yr I was with my wife yesterday while she was getting a manicure at the new nail salon at Clifton Shoppes -- the first tenant to open in the retail development at Clifton and West 117th. While there, there was a group of suits being toured around the development. One of the suits came into the nail salon and asked the manager about his experiences with the development. I could hear that the suit was with a wireless company. I was hoping it wasn't one of the those cheap, ghetto-like retailers. After the suit left, I asked the manager what company he was with. He said "Sprint Wireless." BTW, the nail salon is top notch. Its interior design is definitely not cheap and has a lot of attention to detail. It has lots of brand new, high-technology equipment for treating, cleaning, drying and decorating. And the management and staff is all Vietnamese, which according to my wife is a real attraction for her among salons/spas. There are four retail spaces in addition to the anchor -- a 22,650 SF Lucky’s Market. The lights are on inside Chipotle at the corner unit at West 117th-Clifton, and looks to be days away from opening. One of the other tenants is Best Cuts, just to the east of the nail salon. But I thought Fusian sushi was coming in to the corner unit on the breezeway, but there are only four retail spaces. With the suits getting a look at the retail space on the breezeway, that means Fusian won't be coming. http://www.passovgroup.com/listings/cleveland-the-shoppes-on-clifton/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
March 28, 20187 yr Three of five businesses (Chipotle, Pro Nails Spa, and Great Clips) are now open at The Shoppes On Clifton. And the electricity is on inside Lucky's organic grocery store. They are due to open by May. Behind the retail strip, fencing is up around Brickhaus' One-Seventeen townhouse development, where the Fifth Church of Christ Scientist stood. Construction is about to begin on 11 townhomes selling for $439,000 and up. Three have already sold.

March 28, 20187 yr ^Awesome photos! And I had no idea about that Lucky's Organic Grocery Store... with me as a soon-to-be newbie on the Westside. Looks like my wife will be transitioning just fine as she leaves her organic food mecca of the Pacific NW this spring: Natural foods grocer Lucky's Market opening Spring 2018 https://patch.com/ohio/lakewood-oh/natural-foods-grocer-luckys-market-opening-spring-2018
March 29, 20187 yr Lucky's is awesome! I shop there at least once a week. Those townhouses look very nice as well.
March 31, 20187 yr Now we're making real progress on the new Clifton Diner at Clifton and Hird in Lakewood. Looks like it will also include an ADA ramp in back and a facade rehab of this 1965-built building.

April 13, 20187 yr Lucky's at W. 117th and Clifton opening set for May 16th. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20180411/news/157936/luckys-market-sets-may-16-its-cleveland-debut Lucky's Market sets May 16 for its Cleveland debut May 16 is the opening date for the latest grocer to enter the Cleveland market. Lucky's Market, a natural foods grocery chain based in Boulder, Colo., announced its first Cleveland store will open on that data in the new Shoppes on Clifton, at 11620 Clifton Blvd. in the Edgewater neighborhood of Cleveland. It will be the second Lucky's in Ohio, following a store in Columbus. In a news release, the grocer said it will stage a "bacon-cutting ceremony" at 10 a.m. on May 16 and will present a total of more than $10,000 in grants to support three local nonprofits: The Refugee Response, to fund the purchase and installation of a cold storage unit and a starthouse heater for the Ohio City Farm to help increase sales and reduce waste; Girls with Sole to support costs of transportation, materials, healthy food and fitness equipment for Camp Power; and University Settlement to support nutrition programming and to provide daily meals for clients in the Adult Wellness Program.
April 13, 20187 yr Coming along. But that blank wall along West 116th really gets to me.... Along Lake, Brickhaus is moving dirt for its 11 townhouses.... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

May 1, 20187 yr Yesterday the Landmark Deli opened at Clifton/West 117th, but it was a soft opening -- only for dinner this week. They will also have breakfast and lunch. It's in the space of the old Clifton Diner that is opening a block west in Lakewood. But this place serves beer and cocktails and you order from the counter, with the food brought to your table British pub style. It's Ohio's first restaurant w/ a wood-fired broiler, the permitting for which was the source of delay in opening.

May 1, 20187 yr The new Chipotle on Clifton at West 117th in Cleveland is very busy. This is the waiting-to-order line from Sunday evening. Employees say its been like this since it opened a few weeks ago. FYI: the CVS across the street & the Take 5 oil change on W117th are their highest revenue stores in Cuyahoga County. Lots of population nearby "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 4, 20187 yr ^ I wonder how this Chipotle is affecting the Lakewood location. Hopefully not the same way the University Circle location affected the [former] Coventry location.
May 6, 20187 yr From Cudell Improvement Inc. Snippets.....

May 6, 20187 yr ^ I wonder how this Chipotle is affecting the Lakewood location. Last time I was in the Lakewood Chipotle it almost queued out the door at 8pm.
May 8, 20187 yr New Lucky's organic grocery store signs are up and is 10 days away from its grand opening on Clifton at West 117th in Cleveland. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

May 16, 20187 yr Although it had its soft opening on Monday, today Lucky's organic grocery store officially opened on Clifton at West 117th -- on the CLEVELAND side. There seems to be some confusion as which side of West 117th Street this is. By the way, the lake-induced fog was making their high-flying balloons difficult to see sometimes!

May 17, 20187 yr Welcome to Lucky's natural foods grocery store grand opening! I think it will be a great success in this neighborhood. My wife already likes it!

May 17, 20187 yr Wow, that got busy fast. I understand that a new store draws patrons, but lots of shoppers there (for grocery). Good to see.
