Tenable has also been providing alarm response to many of our stakeholders on an individual basis. However, the increase in breaking and entering we all experienced in 2008 demonstrated the need for additional nighttime security coverage. Tenable and MidTown Cleveland have teamed up to offer you the opportunity to participate in the MidTown Cleveland “Dusk to Dawn” Security Program. Here is how the MidTown Cleveland “Dusk to Dawn” Security Program works: If 65 MidTown Cleveland stakeholders contract with Tenable Protective Services, Inc. for 2009 for their individual alarm response needs, Tenable will provide the following services: A uniformed armed Security/Patrol Officer, an off duty Cleveland Police Officer or a Tenable Select Patrol Officer will patrol the MidTown Cleveland Service area exclusively in a marked security vehicle from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. seven days a week. Here is what the MidTown Cleveland “Dusk to Dawn” Security Program Provides to you: In return for contracting with Tenable Protective Services, Inc. for one-year of service at a cost of $50.00 per month and $35.00 per actual alarm response, you will receive the following benefits: The dedicated MidTown Cleveland vehicle will rapidly respond to your property and conduct an exterior and interior check of the facility. Alarm notification will be made to your designated security contact and the Cleveland Police and an incident report will be prepared and shared with you and MidTown Cleveland, Inc. for record purposes. We are close to reaching our goal of 65 participating businesses. If you are considering participating in this program please contact Carm Kelly of MidTown Cleveland, Inc. at 216-391-5080, ext. 100 or email at ckelly@midtowncleveland.org for more information.

How should we be thinking about the landmarks of the “recent past” and their role in landscape of Cleveland? Join the Cleveland Restoration Society on December 11 for its 36th annual Community Luncheon and hear Timothy Rub, director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, speak on “Reshaping our Past – a Vision for the Future.” Mr. Rub, a specialist in architectural history and modern and contemporary art, will share his thoughts about how we might develop our understanding and appreciation of our Modern and “recent past” architecture. The luncheon will take place at the Wyndham Cleveland at Playhouse Square, 1260 Euclid Avenue, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For individual tickets or table reservations contact CRS at tsande@clevelandrestoration.org or 216-426-3103.

As an architect, I have planned too many great projects that never happened. Six years ago, I decided to leave the architectural practice to put my money were my mouth was and develop my own projects.In 2002, Scott Garson of NAI Daus showed me the Carpenter Reserve Printing Building (now known as the Baker Electric Building.) It was a beautifully designed building, but it was in the middle of “nowhere,” at the intersection of Euclid Avenue and East 71st Street. After all of those decades of planning the “Dual Hub Corridor,” I was convinced that RTA's Euclid Corridor would never happen so I bought a building in Independence instead. I was looking for my next project in 2006 and Scott showed me the building again. It was still a great building but now the Euclid Corridor was under construction, the Cleveland Clinic was going through an incredible expansion and the time was right. I bought the building and I am renovating it and it is leasing even in this lousy economy!My story is a case study of investment. Without the HealthLine, I was unwilling to risk my money on Euclid Avenue. With the HealthLine, not only have I risked my money, but a growing number of companies are choosing my building because of proximity to the Cleveland Clinic, University Circle and Downtown. The HealthLine dramatically improves access to these destinations. In early November 2008, I attended the Innovation Conference at the Cleveland Clinic and because of a hectic schedule, I rode the HealthLine back and forth a number of times from my building at Euclid Avenue and East 71st Street to the CCF Conference Center. On average, it took seven minutes door to door, which included wait time. It would have taken three times that amount of time to drive there, find a parking spot and then walk to the conference. Plus, I didn't have to pay $6.00 each time.My building is only a small part of the return on investment in the HealthLine. MidTown is updating its Master Plan for this area to create a vital mixed-use neighborhood which can become the largest and most attractive Research Park in the world. The area surrounding the HealthLine connects many internationally-renowned research institutes, such as the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University, all within a 15 minute ride. By comparison, the famous Research Triangle in North Carolina is not connected to Duke, the University of North Carolina or North Carolina State. They are all separated by an hour drive. Also, the Triangle was planned in the last century as an automobile-oriented development. Ask any young researcher if that is the way that they want to live/work/play and you will find a strong preference for a vital mixed-use neighborhood instead.We are not there quite yet, but I am confident we will be there soon.
