It`s not another car dealership. It is an existing one.
Honda of Mentor is moving from Mentor Ave. to Market St.

So what, it's still an ugly piece-o-chit eyesore. I say, get rid of it, too. Classic has too many car lots--they should have to consolidate into one lot up on Tyler, and get off the main road. That corner is like hillbilly heaven.

Because, the situation is not fixed. Whom ever closed it did so because it is their (solely) opinion this complaint doesn't qualify as a non-emergency, quality-of-life issue, though, it certainly is. It should stay open until the city addresses the situation.

Cate, how would you propose that the city deal with this issue of development of a private piece of property? That would be like me asking the City to tear down your house because I don't like the way it looks. Try using this forum for things the City, or others could actually fix. A car dealership is better than a vacant property. Enough with useless complaints.

So cate would rather have a decrepit empty building instead of a open store?

Situation still not fixed.

Dear Annoyed, apparently unbeknown to you, the city certainly does have a say-so as to what goes in that spot. Through approval of usage they rule on where businesses can set up shop. So, it is not like a private citizen's property, which, by the way, the city has lots of ordinances on the books as to what you can do with your private property. In fact, more than half the building dept.'s daily business entails ruling on requests of private citizens who want to use their property in various ways. I know, I for one, would rather the old Finest property stay empty till a suitable business comes along, rather than the Mentor Ave. property Honda now occupies becoming a vacant lot. Which is what will happen once they move. I also agree with Cate, Mentor should allow development of an "Auto Mall" like California cities do; get those eyesores off the visual sight-line. They do make the city look seedy. Perfect choice of a photo, Cate; gave me a chuckle.

Closed because this is not what this website was made for. Opinions like these bog down what good intentions this website was made for.

Engineer, is this your website? I didn't think so. Your opinion on what the intention of this website is for is just your opinion. The mission statement clearly says, it's for non-emergency, life imposing issues. This situation is a non-emergency that impedes on my life. I find Honda's presence infringes on my visual space.

Situation still not fixed?

How would you suggest they fix it? Stop development and leave it in its current state? That'll look great!!

Development is already occurring and can not be reversed/Not a "fix it" issue.

It is sad that it is now to late to fix this specific piece of propery. I have nothing against Honda for having moved their business. They stayed in Mentor, moved to larger quarters with move visability, they are adding sidewalks, they moved to an already exsisting building which appears will look nice. So here is my complaint... Why was Classic allowed to build that horrible structure on the corner of Tyler which doesn't fit in to the surroundings and they can't decide month to month which dealership will be housed there. This in my opinion is an eyesore to that corner which should have been confined to a one story building.

Auto dealerships are here to stay we just need to make the best of it.
