May 2, 20223 yr ^It’s not replacing the parking lot (in front of the Archer). It’ll occupy the space directly between the sidewalk and parking lot. Currently there’s truly no park in this vicinity, so Lighthouse Park (while a small urban “pocket park”) will offer a nice new little neighborhood gathering spot. It’ll be great to have amenities like benches, swings, cool lighting, landscaping, and a dog area right here. Can’t wait!

But golly, I’m surprised that the latest downtown residential building boom didn’t revitalize the plans for that surface lot that were killed at the 11th hour by the [last] recession 🙄

June 15, 20222 yr There's always a chance. But I haven't heard of any developer looking at it for a long time. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

It was essentially collapsed within itself and covered with dirt. The back side remnants of the original building is still visible from West 10th.

August 12, 20222 yr Agave & Rye in the old Bar Louie/Metropolitan space looks about ready to open, and it looks super cool.
August 12, 20222 yr ^They're aiming for soft opening the week of the 22nd - they'll have some new signage and awnings going up sometime soon as well. Can't wait! They've really given a total overhaul/refresh of the space and it's awesome. This will be great for that corner and the neighborhood as a whole.

Historically, it's been an awful strip club/night club with a rough crowd. They have a permit pending but it's waiting for Landmarks review so I'm going to assume whatever work being done is illegal. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2019/12/brawls-drugs-and-a-rape-linked-to-downtown-cleveland-strip-club-authorities-are-trying-to-shutter.html Edited November 6, 20231 yr by downtownjoe
November 6, 20231 yr ^ Nice find. I wonder what that is going to be? According to my research, it used to be a strip-club. My hovercraft is full of eels
November 6, 20231 yr That's a very old industrial building. I understand that long before it's days as a series of nightclubs, 620 Frankfort Ave was a repair garage for streetcars, and the ceilings are still hung with heavy gauged rails. Ostensibly the rails on the ceiling suspended streetcars while undercarriage work was performed. The last time I was inside was back in the 1990s, when it was a gay dance club called "Numbers." The interior space is much cooler than it's austere exterior and it had a hip urban loft vibe. Edited November 6, 20231 yr by ExPatClevGuy
