July 9, 200717 yr Sounds like a new cafe is coming to Downtown. This is from DAS Construction's website: Project Name The Market Café at AmTrust Client AmTrust Location Cleveland, Ohio Project Description D-A-S Construction Co. is serving as the general contractor for the construction of The Market Café at the AmTrust Business Center in downtown Cleveland Ohio. The 5,500 square foot café will serve organically grown foods and will be located in the former site of Charles Schwab financial services at the corner of E. 9th and Chester. The existing space has been demolished to the bare structure with all possible materials salvaged for recycling. New mechanical systems will be installed to accommodate the new use of the space not only in the café itself but through two floors of occupied space with minimal disruption to bank activities. New rooftop equipment will be located on the roof of the 3rd floor. The completed Café will feature a farmer's market theme. Further "green building" techniques are included in the finishes and furniture of the space through the use of lumber reclaimed from demolished barns for use in tables and wall finishes. A full service kitchen as well as three separate "short order" stations will be included in the finished space. The Café is scheduled to open in the fall of 2007.

July 15, 200717 yr Author TWINSBURG TOWNSHIP Dr. Bahman Guyuron hopes to create a shopping mall on 90 acres east of Hadden Road and south of Interstate 480 straddling the township and city. ORANGE Realtors Kevin Holdash and Kevin Cooney are marketing a total of 53 acres along Pine Crest Drive and Harvard Road to commercial and retail developers for $350,000 an acre. How much more friggin' retail does this metro area need?? I would say the "need" stopped a few million square feet ago. Now we're just creating more vacancies somewhere else by creating new square footage in the once-vast open spaces. But, hey, what do I know? I guess it's OK to empty out the city and create vast open spaces where we already have roads, sewers, other infrastructure (and low-income people who aren't always able to relocate outward with the jobs.) Wonder why our taxes keep going up?!?! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
July 15, 200717 yr isn't this in the retail thread as well? It doesn't make sense when Euclid is ripe for development NOW, developers could make renovations to stores to coincide with the opening of the BRT
July 15, 200717 yr Yeah it is. Move put it there for the retail issues. and its here because its a development. I guess if its approved and built we can start a thread specifically for it.

July 31, 200717 yr and just when i was really starting to miss the tilted vases. So is something like this supposed to happen every year then?
July 31, 200717 yr and just when i was really starting to miss the tilted vases. So is something like this supposed to happen every year then? Sort of. Kind of. The vases were on loan until someone purchased them. They are now somewhere in Florida. The giant balls with the strings around them are actually made of kryptonite.
July 31, 200717 yr The giant balls with the strings around them are actually made of kryptonite. Guess I'll have to stay away from them, then. :) They look really cool, though. More public art, please!!
July 31, 200717 yr 3231, who's coordinating the installation of the kryptonite balls? is it parkworks and cleveland public art? just wondering if this is definitely a go or not ... don't remember seeing a call for artists for this project. and is this another temporary exhibit or a permanent display? i love all the temporaries we've gotten the last few years (illumination of the rotunda, the giant spiders and the wind-blown vases), but I'd love to see some permanent art going in.
July 31, 200717 yr Are there any long term plans for this space? New Convention Center, hopefully. 3231, who's coordinating the installation of the kryptonite balls? I don't know, but if you dig deep enough you'll find Lex Luther's imprints, no doubt.

July 31, 200717 yr Noooooooooooooooooo! If this spells the end to the neighborhood grocery store on Clifton, I'll be UNHAPPY.
July 31, 200717 yr ^I heard a rumor that they may try to keep the one on Clifton open as a boutique store of sorts.
July 31, 200717 yr Author I say sell it to Trader Joe's. Cold day in hell before that happens though. Looks like I'll be shopping at Kress's Bi Rite, which is within walking distance of where I live. I hate that store. And while the area around I-90 and West 117th has been a traffic mess during rush hours ever since I moved into this condo 11 years ago, it's gotten much worse since Target opened last week. I can't imagine what it will be like when the grocery store goes in there. Shows what happens when buildings with non-pedestrian friendly site design replace those that were pedestrian friendly. Gee, what a shock! "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
July 31, 200717 yr Where is this Kress's Bi Rite? There's that place Zampelli's or whatever, too. It's on W.117. I don't like that place.
August 1, 200717 yr Author It's immediately north of Diana's Deli. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
