shack Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This building will dazzle at night with indirect lighting. I just hope they highlight the natural color of the building. I think the colored LED lighting of the Terminal Tower is ugly. Like a kid coloring it in with a crayon. With old buildings highlight the natural color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w28th Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Another little detail I hope they revive are the lights at the tops of the vertical posts on the top of the facade. Those used to light up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastvillagedon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) as an aside, for a trip down memory lane (for really old people like me and anyone interested to know those dept. stores were like) this is a good overview of the May Co., including a store directory. And I had forgotten how many branches there were. Also other great Cleveland and Ohio dept. stores (Lazarus, etc.) are profiled (I still don't understand why my links aren't linking half the time ). (I was surprised to see they had added branches as late as the late 70's--Randall Park and Euclid Square--both malls defunct) http://www.thedepartmentstoremuseum.org/2010/06/may-co-cleveland-ohio.html Edited January 12, 2019 by eastvillagedon 1 http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendo Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks for the pic. Crazy to consider the amount of work going into this project. With this and the JHB buildings the facade restoration is just a tiny fraction of the overall project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExPatClevGuy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Some progress videos and photos were posted to Facebook within the past few weeks & days by Terra-cotta contractor Grunwell-Cashero. These were posted to a baby-boomer group I joined on Facebook some time ago. You won't need to log in to Facebook to view the items. these are public posts and should be easy enough to snoop through. A surprising quantity of content, rich with detail. - All pretty nice stuff. Grunwell-Cashero also appears to be working on the "Centennial" project at 925 Euclid for Millennia Cos. and posted some photos/video of action there as well.

Dougal Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The apparent demise of Tower City as a competitive retailing location makes me think the odds of the May Co building getting something like an urban Target for their 80K retail sq footage just improved a lot. I live near an urban Target and their range of stock is almost as big as in a regular store; it's the depth that got cut to fit. 4 Es war ein heisser Nacht in Apalachicola als die asbest Vorhang gefällt.

That looks like the north stretch of Euclid Avenue between 925 and Statler...the JH Brown redevelopment strip; first look I thought it was Euclid Avenue. Downtown needs, and will see, the national chains like H&M come in. Urban Targets are great and offer groceries, the prices of which can't be beat, not great news for a Heinen's, but with continued population growth, there could be room for all. It would be nice to see initial retailers coming in on Euclid between E 9-PHS. Edited March 6, 2019 by Oxford19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuRrAy HiLL Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) When I look at May Company potential, I always think of the City Target in Portland, OR that I used to live walking distance to.

What a lot of people do not realize is that Portland has an extremely walkable downtown (I've been there several times). Cleveland (Euclid in general) lost some of that vibe once Tower City came into existence IMO. A target placed within the May Co. footprint would spark an economic boost in downtown. It also would give neighborhood residents a centralized location to pick up necessities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StapHanger Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It's been a while since I've been in CLE- are the only current retail tenants in MayCo the Taco Bell Cantina, Pura Vida, and Tri C?

I live Downtown, and never go there, but from their perspective? A target near Public Square, either in May. Co or TC makes a lot of sense. I don't see how it wouldn't be hugely successful.

GISguy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Here's an update of the rear of the building. Does the neighboring parking garage connect to each floor?

ExPatClevGuy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) The first level up where I'm confident there's a connection into May Company from the Parkade is to the 3rd floor; into the Juniors Department, Liz Claiborne career separates, and across from plus sized dresses, LOL. That's the old employee entrance into the store from the garage, and the first level with access from parked cars.

MyTwoSense Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Not a fan of what I saw in that "tour". That apartment is horrible. Electric cook tops? Compact refrigerators? The markup for the view to Public Square is going to be astronomical. The size of the tub in that unit looked ridiculous. That should have just been a walk in shower.
