The Fading Flats

I noticed a couple of nights ago several of the buildings on the East Bank didn’t have windows in them anymore. I figured that could mean one thing, the wrecking equipment wasn’t that far away. When I opened up my blinds this morning, I saw crews hard at work demolishing brick and mortar. One of the buildings contained the “John Harvard’s Brew House“. I think the other one was “Jimmy’s”.

All of this on a day where the Cleveland Plain Dealer runs an exclusive story about the Richard E. Jacobs Group announcing plans to build a new 21-floor downtown office building in the heart of Public Square. The building will be all glass and should give Cleveland a modern look.
