Popped into the Wild Eagle on Saturday night. There was a country cover band playing and the place was PACKED.

A new yoga studio going in on Huron Road, close to Wild Eagle.  Inner Bliss Yoga!

I'm a regular at their Rocky River location. It's a great company.

Not sure when these went up but I noticed last night that there are new LED streetlights up and down Prospect. Much better than the ugly old ones. At least from E 9th to the casino. Not sure how much farther they extend.

Not 100% sure but I think there are cameras inside/under the new lights.

 

 

Probably courtesy of the RNC being here. They were most likely developed right here at Nela Park. Would be nice to have them throughout the CBD.

 

Read more about them.

Those look great. Add it to the list of streetlight types downtown. Haha seriously it just makes me crazy. They were using a specific style of light on new areas of E. Ninth like the 9, County HQ, Schofield, etc. that match all the lights in the median of E. 12th. The lights are rounded and are an off white color. In the last week theyve been replacing some old lights around 1717 and the Amtrust building and are using a totally different style!  Really?

Here is an excerpt from last year about the smart grid lights the city is installing:

"the fixture's "adaptive" smart photocell technology to gather other information, such as:

 

- Measure snow fall per hour on any street.

- Detect the number of people walking in a neighborhood or vehicles passing through.

- Detect smoke or other pollutants on a street.

- Hear and report the sound of gunfire"

Sometimes it feels like, somebody's watching meeeeeeeee

Thank you, Rockwell.

Does anyone know why they've cut down a decent amount of trees downtown? Is it a security issue for the RNC? They've left the trees up on the streets that have more natural light and are wider and they've essentially cut down the trees on streets that are more narrow and get less sunlight?

I THINK I read somewhere that they had a plan to replace lots of sick or dead trees downtown before the RNC

Yeah, I think it might be related to the recently adopted Cleveland Tree Plan.

Thanks for the explanation!

Thank you, Rockwell.

They should put these all along Rockwell (Avenue)! Just because.

 

From a friend who is a resident- Prospect Place Apartments will soon be giving their residents 60-day notices to move out, unless they are interested in purchasing their units, as they plan to convert their apartments into condominiums. My friend's 1bed/1bath will be offered in the 180k/190k range. Seems like a good sign for establishing more condos downtown, though I think the landlords are just not qualified enough to handle an apartment building (that's their only one) and want it off their hands.

Great news!!! It's about time. Hopefully demand is high showing the need for more units.

My building (Water St) is undergoing the same process. I own mine already, so it's not a huge deal, but I know that some of the rental units are not being renewed once an existing lease is up. They are renovating them and selling.

 

The "Moxie" property at 811 Prospect will be called "811 Kitchen*Bar*Lounge" it appears (as that's the DBA in their just-filed liquor license application). Not personally a fan of unimaginative "street number" restaurant names, though I guess they serve a directional/locational purpose.

This morning the Wild Eagle blade sign was removed, and (what looks like) a temporary ground LED sign replaced it.

 

Odd.

This is from a couple days ago, before they took down the main sign this morning. Just when I thought this place couldn't get any tackier looking...

 

Ads for them pop up on Pandora all the time. Just hearing "inebriation station" so much is almost enough to make me pay for the ads free version.

The neon sign on the roof of the Q is lit up tonight. Can't tell if they are still testing it or not as I am not high enough. But I can see it from my 6th floor window. Just in time for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals tomorrow!

They already installed that?!?  Wow was that fast. I guess we'll find out tomorrow!

I saw a crane by the arena about a week ago. Here is a pic from this morning.

Was looking online for office rentals and stumbled upon this. I'm liking it!

 

 

Is this where Buffalo Wild Wings is going into    or

is this something else?

No, BW3 is going in across the street at 724 Prospect.

811 Kitchen has a sign in their window saying they are open in July. Big flat screen tvs were delivered today. Also BW3 says they are opening June 28. Signage went up on both sides of the building earlier this week.

Looks like they are opening a second Cavs Team Shop at the bottom of the Jack Casino Parking Garage. The space is on the corner of Prospect and Ontario, and the entrance is directly under the casino bridge.

It's a temporary location due to the RNC.

So this property is right across from Gateway and has always been on my radar.  My hope is with the eventual takedown of Cleveland Thermal, scheduled for 2017 and of course the large property that Dan Gilbert controls I can see an eventual link of Gateway down to the river. I think the time is right for this property to move quickly and be developed.

I agree that property has great potential. The connection to the river is a must, imho. I'm just not sure what Gilbert's intentions are regarding the riverfront. With Tower City Ampitheater and the Rib Fests you saw the real potential down there. However I'm afraid that area will simply be parking lot for a long time.

^Well once my dream of Cleveland Thermal coming down is a reality,  it will become clear the great possibilities for that area.  CT which dumps thousands of tons of pollution into the air  just a stone's throw from Public Square is just killing that space.  I can't wait for that smokestack to drop.

I'm always surprised at how many people make the trek downtown both walking and on bicycle across the Lorain-Carnegie bridge. Development on this property could be like a "pit stop" for them.

The smokestack is an icon, hope it stays.

I did a land-use plan for that site a decade ago, including a transit station in the basement. I'll see if I can find it.

Shocking coming from you. But you kind of have that 'Blade Runner' view of cities where fire and smoke is coming out of everything.

Actually I can see a portion of it being used as part of a  public waterfront  area.  As long as their isn't toxic fumes coming from it, something could be done.

Any new 811 landscape photos? The rendering looks exciting as Prospect continues to give Euclid a run for its money as most interesting downtown street.

I remember someone posted a rendering of a proposed development for that corner (probably you) but I think it also included that small triangle piece of land. Yes any development there would be a no-brainer for a transit stop.

While it may not be the most appropriate use for the riverfront (although it could be made to work out), I can see this being a good location for a new Justice Center. Either with a new transit stop under, or just tied directly into Tower City. Could even put the jail on the south side of the bridges, sort of away from downtown, but still connected to the courts.

Here's a crappy picture I took yesterday of the new sign that went up. (the sign went up one night earlier this week). They were power washing the sidewalk out front yesterday. Looks like they could open this weekend?

I think an earlier article said they were waiting until after the RNC to open.

Love the smoke stack, just adds character.

Same - I love that it actually releases smoke too. It's great to shoot from the disused Eagle Street Bridge, as you can not only get in the skyline, but the power plant and a working Cuyahoga River. It's such a gritty composition.

Not anymore -- at least not from coal. CSX was asked to stop shipments of coal to Cleveland Thermal. So the CSX tracks north of I-490 into downtown are no longer used....
