Downtown Visions: For people who remember the glory days of Higbee’s, the May Company and Halle’s, and can recall the big Christmas tree at Sterling-Lindner, the holidays can be a sadly nostalgic time. But there’s reason for optimism. Learn why on Feagler and Friends. Mr. Feagler talks with three prominent northeast Ohioans with plans to play key roles in the redevelopment of downtown Cleveland.

Robert Stark, president Robert L. Stark Enterprises. Bob Stark is best known as the brain behind Crocker Park, the lifestyle development in Westlake that opened in the fall of 2004. He also developed Eton Chagrin Boulevard, an upscale retail/office complex in Woodmere. He has a vision that a project similar to Crocker Park might work in an urban setting like downtown Cleveland.

Ari Maron, MRN LTD. He and his partners brought the House of Blues to downtown Cleveland as part of the East Fourth Street Project. It’s also home to the comedy club Pickwick and Frolic and scores of residential units. Soon to come is an upscale bowling alley and lounge.

Chris Ronayne, president of University Circle, Inc. He was installed last December as head of the umbrella organization that oversees the environs of the city’s key education/art/culture venue. Before that, he served as planning director and chief of staff for outgoing Mayor Jane Campbell. He was a key player in development of the Lakefront Plan and will oversee an era of renovation and expansion in the Circle.
