twnipper...I liked Julius Sumner Miller's physics lessons too. He was a cranky old bastard with armpit stains and unconventional teaching methods, but he was at least interesting. I can't believe you can't remeber the name Morgan Freeman, "the black guy from Shawshank"!

Was the building destroyed that greenish-colored one on the corner?

Great pics. That is one bad motherf**ker.

Agree...can the dining portion. Keep it focused.

"Juicer"...LOL, I'd never heard that but it does kind of look like one....

Great pics of the Akron talls and I always love seeing those Cleveland bridges. Is Part 26 "Ohio Booty 2007"?

God, I hope! Ink...not to take this thread too far off topic, but I have really been concentrating on taking more construction photos for the blog and fewer street scenes. I was just talking to CDM about that the other day--how I need to find some time to fit in an afternoon of nothing but street scenes.

I will say that it looks well-maintained.

Burnet Avenue plan to go before Urban Design Review Board Building Cincinnati, 10/4/07 The final development plan for Phase I of the Burnet Avenue project will be reviewed by the Urban Design Review Board (UDRB). On September 21, the City Planning Commission tabled consideration of the plan until the UDRB can study the following: * The relationship of future residential units on Harvey Avenue to the parking garage * The architectural treatment of the rear side of the parking garage, which faces those residential units * The relationship of the parking garage to the street and the walkability of the surrounding neighborhood For procedural reasons, the UDRB will not be able to meet until at least October 10, meaning that the soonest that this could come back before the City Planning Commission is October 12. The agenda for that date has not been released. The final development plan would then need to be approved by City Council. Phase I will include a six-story medical office building, a three-story mixed use building and a 1,450-space parking garage, with a future sub-phase of up to 56 condominiums. The project was dedicated in a City ceremony on September 24. http://www.building-cincinnati.com/2007/10/burnet-avenue-plan-to-go-before-urban.html

Austrian bakery, parking for South Block? Building Cincinnati, 10/3/07 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/grasscat/Northside/060123030nsidee.jpg[/img] 3930 Spring Grove Avenue in foreground An unnamed Austrian bakery from the Los Angeles area could be relocating to the South Block in Northside. The City is considering selling property it owns at 3930-3934 Spring Grove Avenue to TDG LLC for its appraised value of $100,000. The property would have to be used for commercial purposes, with residences possible on the upper floor. In 2006, the City purchased the properties from the Northside Business Association with the hopes of revitalizing the Spring Grove business district. An ordinance authorizing the sale has been sent to the City Planning Commission and to the Finance Committee for study. The City is also in discussions with the Northside Business Association about developing the neighboring vacant land at 3926-3928 Spring Grove Avenue into a public parking lot.

The homes will be affordable to 80% of the area residents, and the developer will work with the Home Ownership Center to assist homebuyers. No renderings are available.

^ LOL...I love in the "Bubb Rubb" video where they demonstrate the whistling by weaving through the opposite lane of traffic, nearly hitting a car trying to enter the roadway, and blowing a stop sign.

Bleeeeeecccchhhhhh............ You really set the tone with that first house. That's one of the ugliest and most ridiculous designs I've ever seen.

I used to watch Woody Woodpecker and Casper the Friendly Ghost after school. I was surprised to actually find Tom & Jerry on the air the other day. I sat there and watched it even though I had a lot of work to do. That was some good stuff.

If they had just handed the land to Corporex like they have the rest of the city it would have been developed by now.

Great shots, Rob.

^ Guys, to be honest I wouldn't care about the Bluffs at Woodcrest at all if it weren't located within the City limits.

UPDATE: I got several pictures of completed buildings. I'll probably be posting those as part of a photo thread on Monday morning. Stetson Square photo update, 9/28/07 October 1, 2007 Block G of the Stetson Square project is currently under construction at Bellevue and Stetson in Corryville. This block will consist of 12 condominiums of around 1,600 square feet. Construction of this building is the final piece of Phase I of the two-phase project. A final development has not yet been approved for Phase II. The project is being developed by Great Traditions Land and Development Company and was designed by Humphreys & Partners Architects. http://www.building-cincinnati.com/2007/10/stetson-square-photo-update-92807.html

^ I'm still out shooting, but it's mostly construction pics. Seminary Square is a Covington neighborhood with the approximate boundaries: * W: All of the buildings along Banklick Street, including the school * N: Everything south of the buildings on Pike Street * E: The railroad tracks * S: 12th Street http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=39.080107,-84.513177&spn=0.007962,0.014462&t=h&z=16&om=1 It was named after the Western Baptist Theological Institutute, which owned most of this property around 1840.

Whatever gets your call letters in the newspaper, I guess.

^ Well, welcome to the forum and I hope the site will be helpful in your endeavor!

Wooster is a pretty town. I'm surprised Evergrey hasn't chimed in with his thoughts on Wooster.

^ Cool. If I ever find any info, I'll be sure to share.

Perry County kind of struggles. New Lexington is lucky to even look this good.
