I love public transit as much as the next guy, but I've wanted a Testarossa since I was like 6 years old. I don't think the point is to drive it as much as stare at it lovingly.

The empty storefront at Murray Hill and Cornell/Edgehilll be getting a new pizza place (very close to Valentino's to the owners dismay).
The owner is the same owner as Gusto. I believe they've already started converting it.

That place has housed so many unsuccessful restaurants......

Has anyone heard anything about any plans to rejuvenate Mayfield Theater? What a wasted space in a prime spot in L.I. Would make a great spot for foreign films, Italian films, specifically.... performing arts, or maybe even a small specialty market. Also, the corner red brick building...don't know the name...but the former Corbo's building. A great structure needing some TLC. Are they for sale? What's the word?

^ Me? Noooo.... I am not from the actual neighborhood... but I like it and was interested in learning more about those buildings. I know at one time the theater was utilized in the mid-70's...was it not....anyone? I lived on Overlook, right above Little Italy and frequented it a lot. I am on the west side now, but still love it there. I know farther up-thread the buildings I mentioned have been discussed...and surely people want to see something done with them...But I was just checking in again if there were any updates

Using the Mayfield Theater as an arts cinema seems like a good idea, but would probably face the same problems that plagued the old Centrum Theater in Coventry-lack of parking. Unfortunately when people want to see a movie they like cheap and easy parking. I wish someone was willing to restore it and prove me wrong though.

Terry Tarantino has been looking into the old mayfield theater. Not sure how pending it really is on his agenda though: From: http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2009/05/cleveland_restaurateur_terry_t_2.htmlTarantino's wanderlust is leading him back home -- to Little Italy -- for his latest adventure. He plans to renovate the old Mayfield movie theater and turn it into a bar-restaurant. "I'm thinking of something with a Venetian theme that serves light meals and hosts string quartets and piano players," says Tarantino. "I'm still working on the details." Also I think there is a blip on www.littleitalycleveland.com/

That would be great. I like his style and story. He tries to do something out of the ordinary...

This neighborhood is a walkers neighborhood--and while many visit from all over and drive, that's fine, but I would not want to sacrifice this neighborhood's walkable appeal with a parking lot or deck. There are enough people within walking distance of this place who live nearby and could sustain the theater. I lived there for a while and rarely drove anywhere. It would be beyond me that anyone who does would not chose to walk to all the little jaunts--unless you were completely physically unable--and part of the reason many people are so unhealthy these days is because they drive everywhere. Given the right mix, promotion, I could see things be a success. The Tarantino idea sounds classy too... But I would actually like to move back into the neighborhood and would like to see a couple things open that are functional to daily neighborhood needs...Perhaps another small grocer....Not a convenient store---but a real grocer--no lottery or rot gut alcohol. Maybe a little more specialty because I like to cook.

I would love to see the old Corbo's storefront (corner of mayfield and murray hill) turned into a decked-out Italian Deli. In my opinion that's the one thing the neighborhood is missing...besides a real grocery store. Spuzzilo's helps with things a little bit.

^ That sounds like a great idea! Fresh breads, cheeses, meats, some good produce....essentials, etc... Imports. I shop at the food co-op still.... sort of in the neighborhood, I guess...but the main drag in the heart of L.I needs something as you mention that is complimentary to the theme of the neighborhood---and that would do it. I think there are enough restaurants at the moment...but lacking in the kind of thing you describe.

Does anyone know whats going on with that big @ss building on random road that was an eyesore??? In the last month they have knocked all of the windows out of it and i just saw some guys doing some work on it today. I always thought that would be an awesome spot for something...no clue that they could possibly do with it though.
