Those shots are fantastic. The place feels much more alive these days!

I'm sure the price of Sim City 4 is way down now. It's been out for like 4 years. I'm seeing it for $19.99 on Amazon, so it's probably even cheaper at the store. Be sure to get the Deluxe Edition, though.

Duke's industrial project emerges By Brian R. Ball, Business First of Columbus Friday, August 31, 2007 Developer Duke Realty Corp. has expanded its regional options for large-scale industrial development through the inauguration of a 405-acre industrial park in the Madison County village of West Jefferson. The Indianapolis-based real estate investment trust launched its Park 70 at West Jefferson in late August with construction of two projects with a combined space of nearly 2 million square feet. Cereal producer Kellogg Co. is expected to take a 1.14 million-square-foot distribution center Duke has zoned under construction on 75 acres. Retailer Restoration Hardware Inc. previously announced its plans to lease a 805,125-square-foot, build-to-suit facility next to the Kellogg facility. West Jefferson and nearby London have gained a handful of projects in recent years, including the Target Corp. distribution center built on land Dublin-based MTB Corp. owned next to Duke's site.

I realize this is a tangent, but NCH chose that name when they incorporated to take advantage of the College Hill name. This was some time around WWI. North Avondale is the result of a guy named Mitchell (guess which road) opening up a road that led to new subdivisions. This was within the boundaries of the old village of Avondale--which Cincy had already annexed--and became popularly know as "North Avondale". I don't know much about EWH. Kenwood is known as a CDP (census designated place). According to the census bureau, CDPs have all of the characteristics of an incorporated city or village but lack a municipal government. These non-cities became necessary to study due to rapid suburbanization in the 1950s.

These are the same images I posted on my blog. SouthShore photo update, 8/29/07 Building Cincinnati, 8/29/07 It looks like they've got the four-story garage structure pretty much built. The completed project will also include two towers with about 150 condo units and an 80,000 square foot office building.* Photographs taken Sunday, August 26, 2007. * A marina is possible but has not been decided. http://buildingcincinnati.blogspot.com/2007/08/southshore-photo-update-82907.html

Well, you tried. Unfortunately it's fairly obvious that almost nobody actually reads what other people post.

Correct, but first it will have to have a public hearing in front of the Economic Development Committee. That hearing may be intense.

New SFD at 1821 Highland Avenue Building Cincinnati, 8/28/07 A new single-family home will be built at 1821 Highland Avenue in Mount Auburn. The parcel has been vacant since at least 1996. No pricing details for the new home are available. Houses in the general area are valued in the $80,000-$100,000 range with very little sales activity. (On a tangiential note, I saw scaffolding on the neighboring house and it appeared that it was being painted.)

This is the first time I've heard the project actually being named. I've merged the topics. "Harbour"? What's with all of this British spelling?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

I don't know if anyone reads Sheriff Jones' blog, but here's the recent entry about the bust: http://butlersheriff.org/blog/?p=54

They know damn well 30-story buildings are not going to be built on the Banks. They're just mad because while they snoozed, someone stepped up to the plate to take on this development. The passage about the use of taxpayer money is laughable. How many of these developers never recieved a subsidy to build a project or to retain jobs? NONE.

Thanks for the tours. #15 is a very handsome building.

KFC was my worst and I only worked there for 3 weeks. I was in college and had plenty of cash at the time and I didn't really need the money. My second worst was Thriftway--after Winn-Dixie bought them out. Before then it wasn't so bad.

^ Looks like a Resusci Anne CPR dummy. Though I guess it could be used like a blowup doll.

Nice place. Columbus gets a lot of flak for being "too new", but they have some really great older architecture up there.

For the lazy, I'll be posting them here soon....

^ Well, isn't that why most of the communities in NW Indiana exist? To not be Gary?

I'll have to think a little bit on this one, but I'll get back to you.

Step one would be to remove the ramp. Step two is to re-tenant. Step three is to FREAKING ADVERTISE THAT YOU EXIST!

Great find, TCK!

Really nice. I rarely see Nashville. That first Pittsburgh pic is amazing.

I'm not surprised that it might come back, as it's a great concept. The group that ran it into the ground seemed like they didn't have their shit together.
