June 23, 20168 yr ^The comments after the photo are just priceless, some funny stuff. Holy cow i can't get over some of these comments! I honestly think that if you guys didn't have winters that rivaled Antarctica, your real estate values would be right up there with New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Huh... Cleveland seems like a beautiful city. So everyone on TV is wrong? I had no idea Cleveland was so beautiful. Glad I saw this. Wow what a sweet lookin' city. Very nice skyline. Still can't believe that is a lake, not an ocean. Is it just me or does Cleveland look like a really nice place in this picture? I want to visit now. The only place I've ever been where the speed limit on the interstate drops to 30 mph, then you make a hard 90 degree turn. WTF, Cleveland!
June 23, 20168 yr yeah that whole thread was a really nice read. quite a different tone from the old days.
June 23, 20168 yr I have to say the day of the parade was about as perfect weather as you can get for Cleveland. Low 80s, low humidity, lots of sunshine and a cool lake breeze. Walked over the Detroit-Superior Bridge and saw dozens and dozens of sailboats. The lake was a deep, deep blue. I mean, for all the cr*p the city and the lake gets from the rest of the nation that lakeside view can only really be replicated in Chicago, Toronto and Milwaukee. It was, dare I say it, beautiful. My 20-year-old son who is a born and raised DCist is now enamored with Cleveland. The victory parade was a momentum building event for the city. I hope the city and county realize it.
June 23, 20168 yr BTW, my wife's brother in Ukraine said he saw on their TV news a report about the Cavs championship parade and showed scenes of the million-fan turnout downtown. He commented how nice Cleveland looked in the pictures. So Cleveland is now being seen around the world!

June 28, 20168 yr Cleveland, a city on the rebound Mark Taylor Chicago Tribune June 27, 2016, 3:04 PM With the eyes of the world on what promises to be a boisterous Republican National Convention July 18-21, Cleveland is dusting off its good suit and rolling out the welcome mat. This bruising, brawling Rust Belt community has transformed itself in recent decades, recapturing the buzz that made it a Midwest cultural capital. After all, it's home to the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and none other than Superman, whose origins can be traced to a couple of creative teens living in the Glenville neighborhood in the 1930s. In addition to a vibrant arts and theater scene, Cleveland is fast becoming a dining destination, with the most recent high-profile newcomer hailing from native son and celebrity chef Michael Symon. "The Chew" star rolled out his new "Cleveland-style" barbecue joint in the spring. And then there's that whole NBA Championship thing. Cleveland, as they say, is having a moment. http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/travel/midwest/ct-cleveland-ohio-rnc-travel-0710-20160627-story.html

June 28, 20168 yr One more The Hottest City In The World June 27, 2016 1:45 PM Cleveland! – this is for you!!! But first a question. What in the hell is happening in that city? The Cavs blow up the world and win a title. And the Indians haven’t lost since. The hottest team in baseball, plays for the hottest city in the world. The Indians have won 9 in a row. They have the lowest era in the AL. They’re perched in first place above the world champion Royals. And yesterday in Detroit they finished their third straight sweep of the Tigers this season while nearly retiring Justin Verlander in the process. It’s getting weeeeeeeird in Cleveland. The Cavs came back from down 3-1 to beat a 73-win team. And the Indians just jumped a former league MVP for four home runs. In one inning. Cleveland rocks! http://jimrome.com/2016/06/27/the-hottest-city-in-the-world/
June 29, 20168 yr A Revitalized Cleveland Is Ready for Its Close-Up CLEVELAND — Just before the Republican National Convention begins, this city is making good this week on its longtime plan to renovate a 10-acre public green space, following a trend in major American cities to link park construction with economic redevelopment goals. On Thursday, Cleveland will reopen Public Square after a $50 million, 15-month renovation. More than eight years in planning, the restoration of Public Square turns it into a place that is again green enough for its original 18th-century purpose — as a pasture for sheep and cattle. It has also helped unleash a strong surge in residential and commercial construction in center city Cleveland. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/realestate/commercial/a-revitalized-cleveland-is-ready-for-its-close-up.html?_r=0

June 29, 20168 yr The article states that the city's population jumped by 1,000 last year. Did I miss something or is this incorrect? Maybe they were referring to downtown??
June 29, 20168 yr No, they said the population is 397,000 up from 2010 census of 396k. I was curious about that as well. Was really happy that the population loss was minimal compared to previous census. Would suggest growth in 2020, but they r saying growth is now
June 29, 20168 yr The 2015 estimate has Cleveland in the upper 380s; perhaps the 397 includes an anticipated absorption of East Cleveland.

June 30, 20168 yr Crain's editorial: Fill it up One of the many pleasures of the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the NBA championship was seeing downtown’s streets teeming — or maybe, in this case, teaming — with activity, both on the night the Cavs beat the Golden State Warriors and all day last Wednesday, June 22, for the celebratory parade and rally. Obviously, that kind of bustle on the streets is an anomaly, and we won’t be seeing hundreds of thousands of people downtown on a single day anytime soon. (Though if the Indians make another parade necessary this fall, we’re more than game.) It does, however, make it seem even more plausible and appealing that the city might one day reach a long-term goal of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance: 25,000 downtown residents. DCA sees that figure as a threshold level for establishing a consistently vibrant downtown. A recent report commissioned by the organization found the downtown residential population is about 14,000, up 79% since 2000. During an interview with Crain’s editorial board, DCA president and CEO Joe Marinucci said that based on residential redevelopment projects underway or soon to be developed, “that will take us over the 18,000 mark we’ve projected by 2018.” Predictions are hard, but if that pace kept up, a downtown population of 20,000 would be within reach by the end of the decade. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20160626/VOICES01/160629858/crains-editorial-fill-it-up
June 30, 20168 yr Why does it always have to be about residents? The parade was a perfect example of downtown being a place for everybody.
June 30, 20168 yr Why does it always have to be about residents? The parade was a perfect example of downtown being a place for everybody. Making a place for residents doesn't exclude anybody else. Residents are the ones who make a place vibrant all hours of the day.
June 30, 20168 yr Why does it always have to be about residents? The parade was a perfect example of downtown being a place for everybody. Since you called me ''Beavis'' in another thread...It's a business newspaper But*head, commenting on the vibrancy of downtown CLE on Cavs parade day. Using this day, the commentary hopes to see general vibrancy downtown which is generally considered to be a population of 25,000. Increasing the city's taxpayer population translates into business, which creates taxes, which create city services etc, which creates visitors-tourists-business meetings-conventions-sporting&special events that fill hotels that create employment, which creates stability, which creates better schools...get the picture? Increasing the downtown population can contribute to a nice multiplier. Downtown is a place for everybody, so your point is misplaced anyway.
June 30, 20168 yr Interesting comparison. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/nolan-finley/2016/06/29/dan-gilbert-man-center-cities/86540530/
June 30, 20168 yr Ask a Local: An Insider's Guide to Cleveland, Ohio “People ask me why I left Portland, and I tell them that Cleveland now is very similar to what Portland was 15 years ago,” said Robert Stockham, general manager at the city’s premiere coffee roaster, Rising Star. Except Cleveland is a city with its own swagger, and a cost of living so low that Stockham said, “You can buy a house for less than a car, and you should never pay full retail price for anything here.” Also: Cleveland is the place for a hipster hotdog hangout that puts Fruit Loops on its dogs, a brewery that has residents lining up for Christmas-spiced beer, and one of the world’s best symphony orchestras. Come hungry, and let Stockham be your guide. http://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/article/cleveland-ohio-guide?mbid=social_facebook

"Beavis" was in response to you typing out "LOL," which in context was similar to saying "get the picture?" in the sense that it's inappropriately hostile. It's not at all clear that downtown population is required for any of those other goals you list. One could even argue that different goals involve different types of amenities and investments, so there is a degree of mutual exclusivity in play. I found Marinucci's statement to be very odd, given that the parade was so distinctly visitor-oriented. Odd enough to point out, but not important enough to fuss about in this particular thread. So I bid you good day.
