Why didn't I just use an alias like everyone else? I don't like the look that I got tonight from Eugene Sanders at the Cleveland Metropolitan School District meeting tonight.
The administration announced that they will propose the demolition/rebuild of John Marshall, despite its landmarked status, and the rebuilding of Max Hayes at the acquired West 65th site, which afterwards will leave the old Max Hayes Building in limbo (read sale and redevelopment of the prime Detroit Rd. lake view location (?).
David Bowen, the representative for Bowen architecture, the firm awarded the John Hays renovation [1], sat in the audience. My guess would be that Bowen designed the "new" Riverside School (BTW, there was nothing wrong with the old school that was torn down) --criticized tonight by another commentator for the lack of foresight in the design of parking. The presentation format tonight was also a disaster as mentioned by a another commentator.
Here are some previous Plain Dealer articles worth reviewing:
