Cleveland’s Medical Mart project, touted as the nation’s future showcase for cutting-edge health-care innovation, is coming along nicely — as long as you consider aromatherapy and comfortable office chairs to preside on the cutting edge.

During groundbreaking festivities last Friday, project developer MMPI shared a list of 58 companies planning to lease space when the building opens in 2013. One-third of them sell furniture or in some way make interior spaces more inviting. The news served as a convenient reminder that MMPI’s bread is buttered nationally by a bunch of furniture and interior design marts, not technology palaces.

  2. Let’s get some Hospital Bed’s with arm and leg straps in leather with a Head Nurse
    that swallows and a Staff of Sultry Bitches that will Lube Up the Boys and Girls where it REALLY HURTS ! MAKE Them TAKE THEIR MEDICINE !!
    THAT will make the Med Mart a Sucksess.

  3. So, to bolster up their credibility, MMPI grabs a few furniture tenants from their other marts to make this thing look good? Oh, are we in troubl right here in River City.

  4. Just for accuracy’s sake here, it might help if Scene used an up to date image of the proposed interior of the MedMart, not one from 2008.
