  1. Deadly mob beating unnerves Cleveland neighborhood May 12 04:53 PM US/Eastern By THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press Writer CLEVELAND (AP) - Even by tough, urban-crime standards it was a grisly attack: Up to 15 people chased a man, then kicked and beat him to death on the street. Before police arrived, one attacker urinated on the victim's head. When the crime-hardened neighborhood awoke later that morning, two people reported a man lying on the pavement, his clothes being dragged off by his assailants. ...
  2. Nice pics. Have you seen the skyline from the north including the new CareSource building? It's a nice addition.
  3. Ahhh Lexington, one of my favorite cities! Great pics, thanks for the update.
  4. In the south suburb of Oakwood, there is a new development being constructed. It is on the the old Sugar Camp facility formerly owned by NCR. There is much history to the site that hopefully will be explained in later posts. Here is a bird's eye view of the area in discussion. It is bounded by W. Schantz Ave to the south, Far Hills Ave to the east, Riverview Cemetery to the west and the city of Dayton to the north (Dayton Daily News headquarters/NCR Old River). Oakwood OKs new plan for Sugar Camp The Oakwood Planning Commission approved a recommendation from two developers to alter their City Council-approved residential plan for the Sugar Camp Development. On April 23, 2007, the Council approved the residential plan for the 36-plus acre property, once owned by NCR, at Far Hills and Schantz avenues. The developers, Oakwood Investment Group and Versant Group, want to: • Relocate the mid-rise condos from the northeast to the northwest corner of the site. • Reduce the number of condos from four to two and increase each from four stories to seven • Change the use of the two-acre parcel north of the main entrance from business to residential. • Erect four- to six- unit townhomes, increasing the density of the development from 125 to 147 units. Here are some images from Versant's website: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aerial before construction: Current conditions: Planned final: -------------------------------------------------------------------- This project raises a lot of questions about the region's real estate market. Does anyone actually think young families won't move into these homes and increase the student population in Oakwood schools? What does this say about other area developments like Ballpark Village and UD's campus west? Is this sort of first-tier development good for the center city by offering new housing near the city instead of in sprawl-land?
  5. His avatar makes him all the more suspect...
  6. The best part about this thread is CDM hasn't commented on it! This is too funny.
  7. All right thanks, fingers crossed it all goes according to plan
  8. section 8...le sigh. When is the Banks slated to be completely relative to the streetcar?
  9. Peabody, DID YOU LOOK AT THE LINK? You can get travelers check in VARIOUS CURRENCIES which is why I provided the AMEX link! Hello!!! :wtf: :wtf: Again, a travelers check is just like cash. You give it with currency and they bring you change, why do you need to go to a bank?? Please help me understand that? Even if you need to change the currency, AMEX locations are open all over the world, so yes, I think you're overreacting when I've given you VERY VIABLE and realistic options, to get you off on your holiday without worrying. It's not that I'm defending Key, I'm trying to get you to look at both sides of the picture regarding a renewal credit card. Three weeks is not enough time to get a new card replacement when the current card is being processed. Understand? ^This post is hilarious!
  10. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous. I'm not belittling anyone. Teach people how to save and make their money work for them instead of giving a "fake" bump in the economy. Most people have said they will use this to pay down debt. ^Amen brother! ^ yes, yes, and yes! that's a key/oft-overlooked point to ending vicious cycles.
  11. If I was eligible to receive one, I'd send it back to the Federal Government since it obviously knows how to best spend taxpayers' money!!! :speech:
  12. Or maybe those forumers would be great on here. :speech: Just spreading the Dayton love...sorry Cincinnati isn't cool enough for its own forum :wink:
  13. Whoa, nice shots! Great lyrics too. Here is a link to the song (it begins at 5:10): http://youtube.com/watch?v=39Prv-m4v7g I love it out there...I remember taking one of the old fashioned trolleys to all of those sites during Inventing Flight in 2003. Your pics would look great on the DMM forum :-D
  14. is the second to last pic inside an old church? great set!
  15. America should always think of slavery as unfortunate, and refer to it as such; lest we forget that it was so, and risk forgetting that it was wrong. If you cannot believe that such things can be forgotten to history, you aren't a very good student of history. I tire of people getting off topic on UO.
  16. ^found it. v=aHU9dN0Itrk
  17. My plan is working then....mwahahahhahahahah.....aaaaaaaaaahhahhaha. Seriously though, things have been good lately. *raises eyebrow*...that's ok, I've loved Cincinnati since I was a child. Keep it up!
  18. With the weather breaking, the cranes in OTR, the approved streetcar, and construction underway at the Banks, I look at Cincinnati with even fonder eyes. I respect it more and more with each step it takes.
  19. Michael Douglas plays a secret service agent in 2006's The Sentinel. The first lady's codename is "Cincinnati."
  20. http://207.250.90.73/view/index.shtml is so cool, consider it bookmarked
  21. I'd like to read this thread as it develops. I've never spent much time in Cleveland but would like to learn more about it before I visit.
  22. Great idea for Cincinnati, hopefully will be done sooner rather than later.
