What I saw of one of their "services" involved power point presentations on a stage with fake plants. Some guy in a sweater and a Tony Robbins headset breaking down the audience with lead-ons like "you know how sometimes you feel like....". I'm like no I don't ever feel like that because I smoke crack and worship Satan. I enjoy this site and mainly just use it to stay caught up on the newest development going on and rarely have much to add myself, but honestly jmecklenborg, what's up with all the snippy comments throughout the threads generally aimed at people who seem like they're probably not "just like you"? There's a place for everyone and while your comments may make you feel better about yourself they belittle you in the eyes of others and take away from the quality of these threads. I don't believe that every project or person throughout the tri-state aims to be "jmecklenborg-approved". I don't mean to attack but I've noticed on multiple threads your empty comments generally detract from the discussion.

I believe I read that it was going to a 400,000 sq building. It's always cool when one of you guys do a mock up to get an idea of the infill. Anyone working on it?

I wasn't told by a developer or anything like that, but by someone close to it that seemed quite certain. But if you work there and don't know it for certain, then perhaps it is just a rumor. We'll see. But we can all agree they need the extra space.

A Tavola is expanding into the American Legacy space.

On 700WLW this morning there was mention of a new restaurant and 10 new condos at 14th/Republic, I couldn't catch the name of the restaurant though unfortunately. Anyone have any links?

World's first urban roller-coaster?

Since they can't seem to get a new condo built there, perhaps 5th and Race would be a nice spot for a new HQ tower

Renderings are rarely pleasing or an accurate depiction of the final product in person. A change in the architecture around the neighborhood here and there can be a nice mix. If they tried recreating the Italianate design that is there now, most would complain that it is cheesy and fictitious

Meiner Flats on Vine/15th progressing http://cincinnati.com/blogs/developingnow/2011/07/28/meiner-flats-takes-shape-in-otr/

Cool, thanks, figured there probably was but hadn't seen it.

I'm not sure, but I imagine the office building they are trying to build isn't quite 1 million square feet. But here is something interesting, Sears is looking to move it's headquarters from Chicago and looking at Ohio as a possibility. Hopefully the city is aware and putting together an impressive package http://www.bizjournals.com/mobile/dayton/news/2011/06/20/sears-eyes-ohio-for-new-headquarters.html

The Kroger on High Street in Columbus just built is a perfect example of what should be built at this site

Is anyone aware of current height restrictions for new buildings in OTR?

You'd have to think a large scale apartment complex would fill quickly in this spot

What the hell did Ohio do to itself? Wow

Does it seem likely that NKY would receive state support for a streetcar system? Would be great if it did, but I'm skeptical

The Hammond Horseshoe Casino website has virtual tours of the inside. Is beautiful, this should be nice.

Stalling, holding out hope that the name was just a joke

A Skyline take-out window would have lines stretched around the block after ballgames and at 2:30 am

Thanks for the head's up

Hey guys, I was just about to post something very similar to this thread so I'm glad I came across it. I'm going to be finishing grad school in July and my gf is looking to go to the OSU for grad school so I will be looking for employment in Columbus. What I'm looking for in neighborhoods is right on par with what is covered here, so thanks for all the info so far. Columbusite - the link to your neighborhood guide is not working and I'm really interested in checking it out.

You're thinking Martinos Haha good call, totally scuzzed on that one.

THERE IS GOING TO BE A STEELERS BAR AT THE BANKS?!?!?!?!?! this makes me nauseous

Too bad they don't make a "Dr. Dre Beat Lab and BBQ"
