What ever happened to that building across from the Q that had living space, restaurants and a huge open area with a sports bar?
As is the area right outside of the Braves stadium.There's enormous appeal there. The Gaslamp District in San Diego is one of the most enjoyable areas in the country.
I just get frustrated with how meh the Browns stadium is. I visit Ford Field and think that a version like that should be in Cleveland.I’d take a built out lakefront with a land bridge that finally connects it to the rest of the city instead of a roof.
It left with LeBron?What ever happened to that building across from the Q that had living space, restaurants and a huge open area with a sports bar?
The old May Company building?What ever happened to that building across from the Q that had living space, restaurants and a huge open area with a sports bar?
I get it, but this is something more than a domed stadium. This could help transform the city and make our biggest asset (lakefront) more accessible.I just get frustrated with how meh the Browns stadium is. I visit Ford Field and think that a version like that should be in Cleveland.
I think "The May" renovations may have replaced the project I am thinking about it. It was called nuCLEus. Havent seen an update since pre-covid.The old May Company building?
nuCLEus is still a thing. They’re waiting to see if they can get newly created tax credits for big projects. If not I have read that they plan on going with a smaller version that is a 25 story office tower that will house them and an ever expanding lawyer firm.I think "The May" renovations may have replaced the project I am thinking about it.

That's around a baseball stadium with 81 games a year and 2/3rds the capacity of a football stadium. It also isn't landlocked on a peninsula of sorts like our stadium, that district sort of feeds into the stadium- it more like the corridor that leads down to the stadium. Also, baseball fans don't show up at 7 to start drinking and falling off vans like football fans do. Is there a football stadium example that isn't college?
Love west gate.. Been there both times i visited ArizonaIn Arizona we have Westgate. Lots of shopping and restaurants within a few minute walk, and the parking for it actually becomes stadium parking on Sunday’s.
You’ve got the new SW HQ about to be getting built with spin-off projects popping up nearby (new hotel, apartments, bars/restaurants).So can someone enlighten me as to the amount of opportunities for young professionals in downtown? Apartments seem to be popping up everywhere, with plenty more on the way.
How much more of a reason is there to stay downtown instead of going further out for things to do? There's only one grocery store that I know of. A bunch of bars and restaurants are closed down. If you're a young recent grad, what all would make you want to stay down there? Sherwin is down there (new building on the way), Rocket Mortgage, E&Y, what else??
Just curious because I want to see the city blow up and I feel like we somehow weathered the pandemic and may finally blow up.
I forgot about cross country. Everything else makes sense. But what about the various business closing during covid? Not to mention some of the flats & warehouse district seemed to be a revolving door even before covid. I hope we find a way to build downtown in a sustainable way. I love the flats but almost wish Eaton was down there. Same with Progressive. Cleveland should be bending over backwards to keep or bring large companies downtown.You’ve got the new SW HQ about to be getting built with spin-off projects popping up nearby (new hotel, apartments, bars/restaurants).
The flats are still being built up (new building going up as we speak) with possible housing on the way.
You’ve got new companies moving their HQs to downtown (Cross Country Mortgage is the big one moving to the outskirts of downtown near Cleveland State and Masthead). I hear this also will be creating spin-offs.
You also have booming neighborhoods being built up nearby namely Ohio City, Tremont and even University Circle.
I can provide more detail later. I agree though, downtown needs more grocery store options along with retail. It’ll require the population there to keep growing. It’s currently at 20k
I've been out in the suburbs for three years now, but used to live right by east 4th. My wife and I loved it, and I commuted out to Fairlawn for work every day.So can someone enlighten me as to the amount of opportunities for young professionals in downtown?

I completely agree with you. The city of Cleveland’s government officials are pretty damn incompetent though and probably corrupt. Hell they lost the SW R&D to Brecksville (partially because people on the Scranton Peninsula didn’t want to pick up the phone). Still a ways to go.I forgot about cross country.
