Ya know, not many people actually realize the potential downtown has. Think about this...1) The full streetcar system running, 2) The Banks built, 3) Broadway Commons filled up with something cool, OTR completely redone, 4) Union Terminal with proposed brand new neighborhood and commuter rails running, 5) Commuter rails connecting East and West Side 5) Ovation built....I......I.....makes you wonder. I give Cincy 15-20 years and we see a complete renaissance. oh wait.......THE SUBWAY. Wasn't there a proposal to have shops down there? man that would've been kickass.

Does anyone know what phase consists of the decks being built over Ft Washington Way? I've seen a couple renderings that have all the gaps covered..and then a few where just the center one is covered. Should be cool either way.

I would love to see some high rises go up near UT. Well, not huge bulking buildings, but has anyone sat on the hill at Cincinnati Bible College lately? You get a fantastic view of the city from Price Hill...we also see just how huge downtwon could be. We're talking Chicago size.

Well, I commend Qualls for wanting the bigger plan done quickly. It's surprising because the majority of our city leaders are arrogant and love being the ones who say NO to a big and necessary project. But as far as OTR goes, all the trashy people are moving from OTR over to Delhi and Mt. Washington. You can't deny this fact. But if you want property value to go up, you MUST get the trash out and quit letting super low income housing in. Not that all lower income people are bad..I'm not saying that at all...but if the city wants to reinvent OTR, they need to start by taking a trash bag and scooping up all the thugs that hang out by the abomination of a Kroger we have down there. Then once the streetcars are in and running, we won't have to walk with 45 knives on us anymore. Thank JESUS for Gateway Quarter...its a start!
