Yeah - the new Browns Stadium was never more than a hasty, cheaply-built political solution for White (and looks it, too!) The roof proposal promises at least a partial redemption.
RE: ValleyView Homes demolition - I hope that somebody, somewhere along the line, managed to salvage the way-cool (terra cotta?) mural that adorned the main entrance. I used to live not far from there, and swore that I would pick through the rubble myself if need be should the wrecking ball hit it. Not sorry to see the complex gone, though - it was a deceptively wicked place for something so low scale.
I didn't realize that the Flats East development was to be achieved through eminent domain; when is the state legislature going to act on abolishing the use of this old chestnut for the gain of commercial developers (and BTW, whatever became of Lakewood's lame-brained eminent domain scheme?)
MayDay, once again, the Cleveland rundown looks great - thanks for the good work!
