October 20, 201410 yr Might just be painting...? On another note I saw a few trucks with what looked to be crane components parked outside Progressive Field on Ontario. I'm guessing for the improvements to the stadium? There was definitely a jack-hammer going when I drove by this morning. Perhaps some structural maintenance.
October 20, 201410 yr needless to say May Co garage needs at least a cosmetic makeover today it was a 'sign raising' down Prospect
October 20, 201410 yr Cleveland loves its quality blade signs. Nice! Agreed. That sign looks like it's 15 feet tall. Looks good.
October 21, 201410 yr What is the building called that the Clevelander is located in? I've also thought it was an interesting building. Also, was this sign on a recent design review? I like the sign but I didn't realize that they were getting one. Surprised I didn't see it posted on here, unless I probably just missed it.

October 21, 201410 yr The Knights of Columbus have prevented any progress on this block. They shun historical renovation and collaboration. Actually, owning these assets is totally unrelated to their charitable "mission". Weird.
October 23, 201410 yr For those wondering what's going on the May Co. garage, this is what it is: http://t.co/QmOZ04Sy8S "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 23, 201410 yr For those wondering what's going on the May Co. garage, this is what it is: http://t.co/QmOZ04Sy8S That looks like East 6th and Huron, no?
October 23, 201410 yr That looks like East 6th and Prospect, no? Yep. I guess it could be called the NuCLEus garage.
October 23, 201410 yr For those wondering what's going on the May Co. garage, this is what it is: http://t.co/QmOZ04Sy8S That looks like East 6th and Prospect, no? I'm pretty sure that is not the May Co. Garage, KJP[/member]
October 24, 201410 yr Yup, another angle...that means my dream of the MayCo. garage being wired for implosion are still alive.
October 24, 201410 yr Oh you're right! I'm surprised Stark would waste time putting up a mural on a garage he intends to demolish. So maybe his plans to level it are still a ways off? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 24, 201410 yr He's not wasting time - he's squeezing some advertising revenue out of a temporary banner hung in a high-visibility location that is going to be seen during the big party held in that surface lot in conjunction with the Cavs opener.
October 24, 201410 yr Banner times downtown! myneighborhoodCLE @CLEwarehouse 3m3 minutes ago The Sherwin-Williams banner across from @TheQArena is coming down to make room for a new @KingJames banner "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
October 24, 201410 yr Oh you're right! I'm surprised Stark would waste time putting up a mural on a garage he intends to demolish. So maybe his plans to level it are still a ways off? ... or, it's a shrewd PR move. The "mural," which looks like a huge tarp-like removable banner, is less than pocket change to Bob Stark.
October 27, 201410 yr As much as I too would like to see the May Co. garage torn down, have to admit I do like the mural on the May Co. garage. What CLE does not need is 2 murals of a "king".
October 29, 201410 yr All of this is a temporary development, but it will help spotlight the Gateway District in ways that haven't been seen since the 2007 NBA Finals....

November 2, 201410 yr (professional hat on) For our people, I heard nothing but positive things about the city. Granted most only stayed downtown. Their biggest complaint was flights in/flights out, but that isn't a issue that Cleveland/NEOhio is to solely blame for. For our old NBA crew many ventured out, as opposed to flying in the day before then out the next morning. They all felt a different energy in the city and not just about LeBron. Many feel the city actually feels/performs like a big city. The new crew felt like they could go out after work and party in region/city specific venues you would find in other large cities. (professional hat off)
November 2, 201410 yr ESPN had a drone with a cam flying over East 4th and environs. The size of the crowd was outstanding and the density of the city and its activity level looked terrific from the air. I think a lot of buzz resulted nationally.

If you had only predicted when signing that lease that it would be the Cavs home opener....and Lebron would be coming home with a bunch of free agents... and oh, Cleveland be the focus of the world on your move out day... :)

Dude. Ouch! Yes, a crazy day made worse by a moving company that no-showed. My truck was parked there for a few hours while I waited for another set of movers (that also never showed). The East 4th office eventually told me to move the truck because ESPN was complaining my truck was in their shot. But not before getting a parking ticket. They let me keep the apartment through the weekend and I moved Saturday.:-D
November 3, 201410 yr ^^^ That's a great story. You should reach out to U-Haul and see if they can hook you up with a free rental in the future after all the free publicity they got from you. 8-)
November 10, 201410 yr For the record and reference in this thread. And do we know what is included in that $7 million? It's a significant amount which is probably enough to include the conversion of East 4th between Prospect and Huron into a pedestrian street.... I don't care if this guy doesn't have a drivers license, he 'gets' downtown... November 09. 2014 4:30AM Ed FitzGerald to recommend Cuyahoga County commit $8.8 million of casino tax revenue to downtown projects By JAY MILLER Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald wants to commit $8.8 million from the county’s share of casino tax revenue to loans for three downtown Cleveland projects that he believes would improve residential options. On Monday, Nov. 10, he will recommend to Cuyahoga County Council that the county make three commitments: • a $4 million loan to Landmark-May LLC to convert the May Co. building on Public Square to 350 apartments; • a $3.3 million loan to Stark Enterprises for the first phase of its nuCLEus project near Quicken Loans Arena • a $1.5 million loan to the Historic Gateway Neighborhood Corp. and the Downtown Cleveland Alliance to be put toward a $7 million makeover of the Gateway district. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20141109/FREE/141109784?template=mobile&X-IgnoreUserAgent=1 "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
November 10, 201410 yr The County may loan some money for public improvements to both Gateway and Warehouse Districts.
November 20, 201410 yr According to cleveland.com, looks like the cluster of buildings at Huron & Prospect have changed. Interesting article, and even more interesting photos. The one from 1948... Amazing... http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2014/11/pointe_at_gateway_sells_for_52.html#incart_river
November 21, 201410 yr ^ The physical condition of the streets seemed to look so much better way back when.
November 21, 201410 yr I always hoped someone would build something very modern and glassy on top of the flatiron building, and complete the triangle. Well they did mention maybe a rooftop patio, I guess we will start there. btw mjarboe[/member] posted these two early photos of that intersection. The first from the late 1800`s the other from the early 1900`s.
November 21, 201410 yr Regarding the traffic at Prospect and East 9th, you can see that every day at rush hour.
November 21, 201410 yr Not sure if I saw this posted anywhere: Joe Haden set to open shoe store in Cleveland The store will be a re-branding of the Lakewood shoe store United Sneakers. The Restock will sell consignment shoes at discounted prices in their new Prospect Ave store location in downtown Cleveland. The address for the new store is 645 Prospect Avenue Cleveland, OH 44115. If you are interested in visiting the store, the grand opening will be on Black Friday (November 28), just in time for Christmas shopping. http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2014/11/joe-haden-set-open-shoe-store-cleveland/

November 21, 201410 yr I wouldn't enjoy trying to navigate the traffic patterns in that last one Six intersections... one traffic light :-|
December 3, 201410 yr RNC by the Numbers. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2014/12/republican_national_convention.html 300,000: Square footage needed for a media center. Gateway East is an option. "We asked the city if we could tear it apart, use it and give it back, and the city said yes,". Referenced in this article, Gateway East the parking garage next to Progressive Field is being 'eyed' as a potential media center for the RNC. A facility of 300,000 sq ft is needed. So they will take this parking garage and turn it into a building with walls and windows and air conditioning? And will it remain that or revert back to parking. Parking at gateway will be in a crunch sometime next year when nuCLEus is under way and this conversion takes place. Will Stark have his parking component complete to help ease the shortage of garage space.
December 4, 201410 yr Does anyone know who is behind the development of this condo, or whatever it is? Its a 5k sqft luxury condo unit available on airbnb, assuming its at the corner of 2nd and High, in the building about 21 lounge next to harry buffalo? I'm curious about it and the rest of the building's space. I'm not allowed to post external links, but you can find it here 2nd High - https :// www. airbnb.com/rooms/3652385?s=oH8K
December 4, 201410 yr I don't know anything about it but now I'm sad I know that place exists. So many poor finish choices in one location.

February 11, 201510 yr Another candidate for housing conversion? Seems nuCLEus, The 9 and other nearby developments may drive up the value of this building for purposes other than offices.... United Church of Christ office building, adjoining Radisson Hotel up for sale By STAN BULLARD February 11, 2015 2:56 PM The nine-floor United Church of Christ office building at 700 Prospect Ave. and the adjoining 142-room Radisson Hotel, 651 Huron Road, both owned by affiliates of the Cleveland-based United Church of Christ, are up for sale. Geoffrey Black, general minister and UCC president, said the church administration decided the time is appropriate to test the market for its headquarters building and the hotel because property values are rising in the Gateway District neighborhood. When the church moved its headquarters to Cleveland in 1990, it settled on what is now the Gateway District in order for its presence to help revitalize a languishing part of downtown. Construction of the Radisson beside the church was an early sign of hoped-for redevelopment in the area near Progressive Field and Quicken Loans Arena, which opened in 1994.

February 27, 201510 yr Well this most likely wouldn't happen until after the RNC but improvements to the Q which is used for over 300 dates a year is needed. Hopefully the financing comes together like it did for the Browns. But I like the idea of a new all glass look for the exterior. Would look cool especially with nuCleus next door. Cleveland Cavaliers suggest 50-50 split with Cuyahoga County for costly Quicken Loans Arena renovations Andrew J. Tobias, Northeast Ohio Media Group CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have quietly suggested evenly splitting with Cuyahoga County the cost of a multimillion-dollar overhaul of the exterior of Quicken Loans Arena as part of a project to increase the building's square footage, Northeast Ohio Media Group has learned. The team's plan would expand the building's footprint, creating more public space inside -- and additional opportunities to sell concessions and other items -- and giving the concrete building a glass exterior, according to sources with knowledge of of the team's plan. http://www.cleveland.com/cuyahoga-county/index.ssf/2015/02/the_cleveland_cavaliers_suggest_50-50_split_with_cuyahoga_county_for_costly_quicken_loans_arena_reno.html
