Is this a DeSantis campaign photo?????

I believe that is a food drop off site for several charity groups. The homeless congregate there because of that.

Count me in!

Cleveland Trust had a grand bank in downtown Cleveland that is now a grocery store.

I thought the steel supports for the UC help keep it erect.

must have been looking for a china shop!

Did you know that Habitat also buys houses?

and the walls come tumbling down!!!!

As Mulder would say, "The truth is out there!"

perfect Tyrone!

first picture looks more like Gotham City!

Yep, that is where Mac and Buckey worked for Reid's when they were there. Got some great cooking advice from those two!

I think the former Queen City Q's address is 6th street. Same as the old Brixx site.

The old Virginia Paper Building!

Well said David! Adoption is fighting Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, all fostered by the fossil fuel companies that want to keep taking our money, environment be damned!

It is truly interesting to watch the transition of vehicles from Fossil Fuels to Electricity. Regardless of what you think of Musk he envisioned a transition to be keyed on developing a charging system that would inspire confidence in the ability to drive almost anywhere with little worries of getting recharged. He put an incredible investment in the stations over the product to allow that to happen. I recall in 2018 that almost all stations I stopped at were less than half full, though all equipment was functional. As Tesla owns all the stations the maintenance and upgrades are incredible. I have seen ridiculous numbers citing almost total uptime for the stations. Other Charging companies like ChargePoint, EV America, etc. sell their stations to a local company and the maintenance falls far short. The expansion and adoption of the NACS as defacto standards for the industry will give any manufacturer the confidence that their vehicles can easily find existing (and continually expanding) charging stations. This will speed up the adoption of all manufacturers to ramp up production and delivery of more EV's. Musk has always said that his goal is to pave the way for a reduction of need for an unsustainable source for an unlimited source of power. As a result of other manufacturers using his network Tesla is now becoming the "oil industry", providing all the power needed. A recent move for my wife and I have required us to get a 2nd car, another Tesla. As we have a single family home now I have installed a Tesla home charger and life is pretty wonderful. If you are on the fence, don't hesitate, go electric.

Beat to the punch!

make it wine and you have a deal!

shouldn't that be missteps?

This is one of those buildings that I have always hated!!! A monolithic block of foreboding concrete designed to keep all out, similar to the old Charlotte Observer building! I cannot wait to see the resurrection of this site.

so.....betweek the Levine Cancer Clinic and the main hospital?

Does anyone have any inside to the street closures that could ensue on 6th and 7th due to the upcoming demo and construction of that area?

Perhaps by then it will be called the Intergalactic!
