Not the only good thing...that hot water jetting out of the plant meant winter surfing in 70 degree water vs. 40...and summer surfing in 85 deg water...just like Costa Rica, but nope, you’re surfing in Avon.
June 13, 20214 yr ^ oh nice. you couldn’t surf like that around lorain’s waterfront power plant because it was surrounded and calmed by breakwalls. but it was the best fishing spot in town in the winter. yes the site was called ‘hot waters’ lol. its still a boat launch and fishing piers, but of course being lorain the power plant site sits empty. hopefully something impressive and mixed use goes in there someday, its an excellent waterfront site too.

We will get buy, but unlike your random church steeple or factory, these stacks were ACTUAL FAA VFR reporting points. Don't worry though. The FAA will just remove when torn down. I did like one suggestion in the suburban development thread to use the taller stack for an observation tower.

January 25, 20232 yr waaah! Photos: The Cleveland Play House, Now Being Demolished, Through the Years By Brett Zelman The Cleveland Clinic has begun demolishing the Cleveland Play House, which the hospital system bought in 2009 and which has sat empty since 2011. It would have needed $40 million in fixes, the Clinic said in community meetings last spring, and, even then, the building's layout would make it unworkable for use. The 12 acres will be a staging area for future Clinic construction in the short term and then serve as surface parking, though the Clinic has said it could be the site of long-term development. Built in 1926 by the theater company that now calls the Allen Theatre home, the building was an architectural landmark and has hosted a roster of legendary performers through the decades including Paul Newman, Alan Alda, Margaret Hamilton and June Squibb. more: https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/photos-the-cleveland-play-house-now-being-demolished-through-the-years/Slideshow/41249219 1983 -- all via cleveland memory project Alan Alda at The Cleveland Play House in 'To Dorothy, A Son,' 1959 Edited January 25, 20232 yr by mrnyc

Formerly known as the Dechant Farm, the white farmhouse has been a fixture of the village’s stretch of Detroit Road since 1825, according to city records. The house will be torn down sometime this year, according to former owner Charlene Dechant. The structure has been in the Dechant family’s name for generations, until it was recently sold to a development group headed by Pat Perrino of Perrino Custom Homes. more: https://www.morningjournal.com/2023/04/14/198-year-old-sheffield-village-house-to-be-torn-down/ The former Dechant family farmhouse, 5478 Detroit Road in Sheffield Village, will be torn down this year to make room for the town’s villas project.

For whatever the new owner is paying to tear it down and build new, they could have totally pimped out the existing structure. I partially blame the city of Cleveland, which allowed newer homes to built with a much further setback, blocking the views from this much older home.
