How many distinct highrise(skyscraper) districts does Ohio have?
Have you been to Cincinnati? I think Cincinnati has one of the finest CBD's the U.S. has to offer. You can literally walk across the street (or skywalk) from one fortune 500 company to another, not to mention the fortune 1000 companies and all the smaller major companies scattered throughout. The density is very impressive along with the selection of companies. I don't see how this addresses the skyscraper district question. I love Cincy's skyline and its settling and topography, but the buildings aren't that tall. They don't need to be to have a great effect. Just because they aren't as tall as Cleveland's doesn't discount anything. Apparently Columbus has the best skyscraper district according to your method, if Columbus has six towers over 500' compared to Cleveland's four. Do you think Cleveland has the only "skyscraper" district because it has the tallest building? Cleveland has the tallest building, that's all, it doesn't define Cleveland as the only true "skyscraper" district. I think you are just being bias because your from Cleveland or the greater Cleveland area. You should come to Cincinnati and walk around the CBD to see for yourself how impressive the CBD actually is. The high-rise density combined with all the corporate offices around Fountain Square makes for a truly impressive "skyscraper " district. BTW, When I am speaking with property management firms we don't ever use the word "skyscraper", we prefer the term high-rise. High-rise buildings are generally broke down into low-rise, mid-rise & high-rise. I can't recall any professional literature which refers to the word "skyscraper", the term high-rise is almost always used. I would probably lose my bearing if someone from a property management firm stated, "We manage six skyscrapers in New York & Columbus." lol...

How many distinct highrise(skyscraper) districts does Ohio have?
I was never saying one was "greater" than the other. I am not from Cincinnati, Columbus or Cleveland, but to say one was the only "true" this or "true" that is misleading & bias. Both have more positives in certain aspects, that's what makes them all so great. Too bad people from the 3C's are so bias toward their own & negative toward the others. Ohio has something only a couple other states can claim and Being that they all start with "C" and are on the same interstate (I-71) separated roughly the same distance apart is an anomaly unique to Ohio.

Cincinnati has the height, density & the companies to make a true High-rise CBD. That's like saying Cincinnati has the only true "Central Business District" because they have more corporate & building density.

Ohio Smoking Ban
Eventually every state will have smoking bans. States like (but not limited to) kentucky, north carolina, virginia & tennessee will probably be slow to embrace such bans as their economies rely on tobacco more so than most other states. More people are 'looking down' upon smoking for various reasons and its becoming a negative stigma. I remember when smoking was allowed in government facilities and it was common for many employee desks to have ashtrays.

Thunder Over Louisville
I think Ohio's Bicentennial plate was the best plate ever issued in america. Looks like you have AA on your kentucky plate seicer, you will probably have to get the yellow DUI plate when you move to Ohio.

Thunder Over Louisville
Oh, sounds like you were surrounded by Kentuckians. We have those too but we keep them in Newport during our grand Fireworks festival. Oh how I wish that was true...some of the hicks that come out of the woodwork for Riverfest on the Ohio side are absolutely unbelievable. There is no law against kentuckians crossing the river into Ohio, unfortunately.

2nd that! Imagine the attention they would have received if they were 23-71 vs 71-23. They set numerous franchise & league records.

Cincinnati: Over-the-Rhine: Development and News
I counted at least 17 cars in the bottom half of the picture. Probably another 15 in the top half but difficult to tell. Then again I'm not sure which intersections are Central Parkway and Clifton Ave. I have also sat through more than one light cycle at lights on that road. I am more worried about pedestrians running across the street in that area than the car traffic though.

The Future of America and Its Cities
I don't think younger generations have an appreciation for the arts. Before I moved to Cincinnati, I was literally laughed at and ridiculed for at least a week when I mentioned how I missed the opportunity to attend a symphony orchestra & other fine arts.

I have always thought of Cleveland as having world class arts. Its a shame the local residents aren't more knowledgeable about their city.

Why? Because I pointed out how ridiculous that was and now your upset? If that is facetious I assume the rest of your post was also because it sounded like a legitimate question to me, albeit ridiculous.

AK Steel Business News
If Armco Park is just inside their commercial zone then it could act as a buffer from residential to commercial. Sounds like a decent plan as far as the 5 mile I-75 commercial zone, but well established neighborhoods should not be disturbed as long as they are well maintained. Develop the undeveloped land before removing the residential.

The Future of America and Its Cities
The first thing I ask people when they say the job situation is bad, I ask them "What can you do?, what jobs are you qualified to do?" The usual response is nothing impressive. I have been known to offend people, but damn! It seems to me jobs are a plenty if people actually look. It could be that I am just smarter than the average bear! ;)
