October 10, 200816 yr aaawwwwwww Yeah, I've been immortalized..... front and center :| And I know it's national average, but Ohio's usually a cheaper gas state, relatively speaking, and we're no where near $2.18. If that's the average, that means that somewhere, gas is like $1.50 or some sh!t.
October 10, 200816 yr According to Fuel gage report the national average is $3.35 a gallon for regular. http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/
October 10, 200816 yr I thought gas was like ~$3.20? IIRC, it was around that amount the last time I filled up my tank.
October 18, 200816 yr Mayor, mayor!!!! Guess what? They've started installing the streetlights around the 2nd townhouse building! Naturally they're not turned on yet........ but, um, we're headed in the right direction I guess!

October 29, 200816 yr I do plan/hope to move downtown within the next year or so, and these condos seem like a very attractive option - I'm actually on the website right now. Unfortunately, I can't imagine I'll be in a financial situation that would allow me to purchase anything even remotely close to the price they're asking. I'm sure this is has been discussed on these boards, but have there been any rumblings as to an upcoming price drop. The tax abatement is great as is but I cannot possibly pay $25k+/yr in mortgage payments alone.

Some folks get "sticker shock" and don't realize that a home could be much more affordable than they think.
October 29, 200816 yr I will be next year about a month before my lease expires. And, according the website, I just realized the mortgage would be closer to $15k/year, not $25k, which definitely changes things a bit

And, according the website, I just realized the mortgage would be closer to $15k/year, not $25k, which definitely changes things a bit A MONTH BEFORE YOUR LEASE EXPIRES. Oh lawd.... You should be doing all that 6-9 months BEFORE your lease expires. You yung'unz scare me.
October 29, 200816 yr LOL. Thanks:) Even 6-9 months is cutting it close. You do realize that the average FIRST TIME BUYER looks at 25 units before deciding to buy. You need to a clear and defined budget number and have that number locked and secure before you even start to look. The worst thing to do is to look at an apartment, love it, then find out it exceeds your budget or that you don't qualify. Lock up and I do mean lock up and don't use your credit cards, pay the remainder off on time every month, open a new deposit only account for your downpayment. GEEZus, somebody pray for these chi'renz up in here!
October 29, 200816 yr Judging from the webcam it looks as though the lights has been installed on the building.cool

GEEZus, somebody pray for these chi'renz up in here! MTS speaks the truth, 1 month is not enough time; however 6 months is more than adequate. I am a mortgage broker and if you need a little insight into the process send me a PM. No agenda here, I'm not licensed in Ohio. I am willing to help out my fellow travelers here on UO. BTW make sure you don't confuse "lock up" with close the accounts. An open credit card with a good history and low balance vs limit can help your credit score greatly.
October 29, 200816 yr ave district is hurting like the rest of them. I would lo ball the hell out them. It can't hurt.

October 31, 200816 yr Paging MayDay - Since it's such a gorgeous day, do you think we could get some updated 1211 snapshots?
November 4, 200816 yr By the way, our street lights around the 2nd building of townhomes are finally turned on..... I took a picture last night, but as I said in the Tech Center thread, my computer totally bombed on me this morning and I won't have it back for a couple of days :(
November 4, 200816 yr Paging MayDay - Since it's such a gorgeous day, do you think we could get some updated 1211 snapshots? Oops, sorry - been busy but I'll get some for you today :) Sorry to hear about your computer - hang in there! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

Oops, sorry - been busy but I'll get some for you today :) Sorry to hear about your computer - hang in there! Thanks guys :). I'm just hoping this is not a prediction that my night will end crappy.... Perhaps my computer had to break allow Obama to win, lol. Anywho.... Yay streetlights, tech center work after a 5 month delay (see tech center thread), and a soon "residentialized" 1211 building (should be a few moving in this month last I heard)!
November 4, 200816 yr Per your request :-) Sorry it looks less colorful - apparently the air is so stagnant today they've issued possible pollution warnings. Who knew? clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
November 4, 200816 yr Thanks. Here are some more flowers for you . I wish they would finish up that street work so that they could put the ground level windows in!
November 4, 200816 yr Retail announcement coming soon (not today...but soon, I promise). We're getting impatient :-D :whip:
November 4, 200816 yr I heard it was going to be a Panera! j/k I heard it was going to be a Thierry Mugler designed Chipotle restaurant and lounge.

November 4, 200816 yr I heard the Crazy Horse was relocating to the ground floor! HAHA "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
November 4, 200816 yr I heard the Crazy Horse was relocating to the ground floor! HAHA D@mnit! That means I have to walk further to get there! ;)

Hush to you too :P Aren't you supposed to be on a plane or something? No. I'm back in NYC. Came home last night, voted this morning with the kiddies, drop two youngest off at school. Came home, had a cup of coffee, walk downstairs hoped on the train, went to Hopkins, took the 11am flight back to NYC and was at lunch at 1:15.
November 6, 200816 yr It's alive! My computer is alive! Anywho, here are those couple of night shots from Monday. Plenty bright now! Sorry for the blurriness - my camera is very slow when it comes to dim light and no flash, and my hand was not too steady! Also, meet two of the Avenue District's newest residents - Julia and Michael! I also realized that I promised some post-getting settled house pics that I never posted - I'll snap some after I clean this weekend :)
November 6, 200816 yr ^ are you a cat too? Haha, if I were, Michael wouldn't still be so scared of me.....
November 7, 200816 yr Sounds like Michael is a pussy. :-o I have two "children" as well. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
November 7, 200816 yr I can't wait to get rid of the three currently occupying my half-empty house. I will not get new furniture until after they have gone to the other side. The ex, that is... not death. Drove by for the first time in about a month. The place looks great! (trying to stay on topic)
November 10, 200816 yr Okay, 3 months late, but whatever. Here are some pics of our main floor (obviously now furnished).... And yes, the mister has a giant fugly man TV.
November 10, 200816 yr Very cute!!! I love your kitchen tiles! You home looks so warm and cozy. I love the chest at the bottom of the stairs.
November 10, 200816 yr The tile is AWESOME cause it doesn't show dirt AT ALL. :-D The chest is from Crate and Barrel. Way overpriced, yes. It wasn't my purchase. The mister likes a sort of "explorer" theme, and he decided he had to have that chest. We're more "warm and cozy" transitional style as opposed to modern, as you can see. Both styles work well in these townhomes I think, which is really nice.
