As far as Burke [[Cleveland's lakefront airport) is concerned, it isn't anywhere near comparable to where Hart Plaza is, more like the area between the Joe and the bridge, and there are a large number of people who want to get rid of it.

"about where Hart Plaza is" All valid points, though. Small jets, [[Lears, etc.) land and take off from City Airport all the time with no issues. Granted, for larger planes, runway modifications would be needed. I wouldn't shoot for the Metro Airport thing, but you could do commuter flights to City from Metro. I just think if it was played right, City Airport could be an asset.
