Gone is the broom-closet-size room with its skinny, narrow mattress. For more info, click the link www.plaindealer.com
August 18, 200519 yr zacey, did you ever live in the dorms? (cant remember the name of the ones that got all the CIA students)
August 18, 200519 yr My magazine is working on an article on this project - here are some shots I took that day :-) The project literally encircles the new multi-purpose field/stadium. Some units have balconies that look right onto the field (some are on the 50-yard line!): Gooo kitchen! Inside the clocktower on the top floor - there's a cozy little lounge with this view (there's a Starbucks on the ground floor): View from a corridor: View of the clocktower: clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
August 18, 200519 yr well i technically didnt live in the dorms my first year at cia... but ya know... those things are awful for art students, i remember seeing the shared "studio space" there and it was a complete joke. i have friends who live in the cia apartments that are -right- next to this development... i guess i could have taken pictures as the whole thing progressed from their balcony... hey mayday did you get a pic of any of the dorm fireplaces inside by any chance? lol
August 19, 200519 yr I just got back from the tour. Very beautiful. Its hard to believe that they are dorms. The fraternity row is next. They are going to rearrange the streets a bit (closing some, opening up others). Things are looking up at Case. Also, the Triangle project is currently on the fast track.
August 19, 200519 yr It's a nice touch that Case kept/blended in that small group of turn-of-the (20th) Century apartments-turned-dorms along E.116thadjacent to the Mi Pueblo Mexican restaurant. I think the project looks great... Next, hopefully Heritage I’s mid/high rise apts can fill out the empty, seedy area from Ford Rd to E. 115th along Euclid (across from the Triangle), w/ badly needed expanded retail/restaurant/bookstore/cinema, etc... to finally pump up the sorely lagging non-institutional side of U. Circle.
August 22, 200519 yr Someone just bought the Euclid Tavern. I don't know who, but I would assume he has plans for the place.
August 25, 200519 yr it's a good bet with all the new development going on nearby, let alone the history of the venue
August 25, 200519 yr by the way, why is it that CWRU acknowledged the fact that residents of its apartments might want to look out onto the neighboring property to see what was going on, whereas the stonebridge development completely ignored the viaduct in its mid-rise phase and placed hallways, not balconies, along the viaduct side??? just a small gripe i have...
September 29, 200519 yr after using the usually desolate e120th rapid station this evening i've noticed this new development has REALLY triggered more ridership by students since its within really close walking distance of the new case dorms. even from tower city theres more kids waiting on a weekday night for the eastbound redline train. its rather noticeable and nice since usually i see the one lone fellow art student using that station in the past
