Hey! That was very fashionable in Oklahoma at the time. I just couldn't bear to buy a pair of parachute pants. I just stuck with the Levi's button-flys. OH---I also thought I was straight then..LOL That could be another reason I wore the Levi's.

and to think i just wore Levi's shrink to fit 501 Bluuuuueeessss with my Polo and Izod shirts.

I own/live in a 2000+ sq. ft. rowhouse style condo in Citywest in Cincinnati's Westend. I have the conveneince of walking to anywhere in Downtown, in OTR, or to the Cincinnati Museum Center with ease. It is new construction that replaced the most notorious projects in Cincinnati. The neighborhood is truly diverse wich tends to keep my bigotted brother-in law from Oklahoma out of my hair. My neighbors are wonderful and we had over 200 kids trick or treat at our door halloween. It is like living in the suburbs without being surrounded by Republicans...hehehe

wow----you can still wear sweaters from when you were seven? I am impressed!

Mytwosense is just trying to recruit. The toaster oven giveaways just don't work anymore.

Okay this is getting way of subject, but are you a copyright lawyer? My library media specialist partner states that full reproductions of articles can be made for educational comment discussion as long as you have the permission of the author or publisher. Otherwise, you may use excerpts as long as they are cited to the original author/publication. I was taught this same rule in graduate school. Now that this infringement topic has been beaten to a dead horse, I want to see some steel going on on this building!!!

Gotta love fair and balanced reviews of the holiday windows....hehehe

Kansas City has the market cornered for sports architecture between HOK Sports and HNTB. UC will get something worth their money from HNTB.

I don't think anything is happening to Daniels Hall anytime soon. They just spent a million dollars putting a new roof on it 2 years ago. I am sure these are just ideas and have no solid basis in reality...yet.

Great Pictures! One day, I hope to see the windows in person rather than living vicariously through pictures posted on Urbanohio.com.

I do think we need to remember that a street car route is typically not designed to take people to the front steps every every building in the area. It should hit major points and allow people to WALK! (GOD forbid) to the streetcar stops.

I like the big uptown loop idea---but this street car discussion should now go to another thread.

While Warren County may have increased clout, the health of Warren County is very much dependent on Cincinnati and Dayton. They could not build enough 4 story office buildings and 1-2 story industrial buildings in Warren county to make up the stock that exists in the core cities. Warren county is important to the region, but it could not exist alone. Hamilton County and Montegomery County have not failed with there efforts to keep businesses and residents. They are just fighting a society that would rather build on a empty field rather than take on old property and clean it up/build new there. In the short term building on older sites may cost more than building on a new site, but the long-term cost of urban sprawl will be haunting us for decades. Hamilton and Montegomery are doing the best they can given the finite resources to lure people/companies to sites that are more difficult to develop. I felt very sad driving through northern parts of Cincinnati today and seeing older homes that were once grand falling into disrepair. The new homes/offices in Westchester and other exburb areas will only be new for so long.

Carol's became Union Station Video Cafe which then became Burrito Joes.

Having worked in college housing for 14 years of my life at various campuses, I have a hard time beliveing no one parties in the on-campus dorms at UC. On a topical note, I am glad to see Towne continuing to move forward with this project. It has the potential to force rental owners in the area to upgrade their properties and provide better living for all. I still favor a streetcar going up Vine rather than W. Clifton. I think a street car going up Vine would serve the undergraduate campus and medical school/hospitals better than the Clifton path. Let's not forget that East Campus is a HUGE population of professionals and students. The students on West Campus will walk to vine to use the streetcar to go downtown. It isn't like they don't walk across campus everyday anyway.

I think the development was going to finance the building of the park. TIF?? I could be worng.

StoneCreek in Colerain Township (suburb of Cincinnati) is considered a power center. JcPenney's, Mejier, Old Navy and others make up the center. I suppose Center of Cincinnati off I-71 at Ridge would be one too.

Mykonos is a very nice island---but Santorini is the most beautiful of the islands in my opinion. Mykonos is a great place to party. Lots of bars and travelers from all over the world.

Oh how I would love to tour the Greek Islands again. Look forward to seeing your pictures when they are viewable.

Memphis has nothing on Cincy.

Cincinnati Mills is located on the 275 loop---so it is one of the suburban nightmare centers. When it was Forest Fair, it was aimed at high-end shoppers. Why on earth they built a large high-end mall away from the epicenter of high end consumers in Cincinnati is beyond me. Mills reincarnating it as an "outlet center" had potential, but Mills began struggling as a company not to long after Cincinnati Mills was completed. Had it developed into a Sawgrass Mills (sunshine, florida a suburb of Ft. Lauderdale), I don't think we would be having this discussion. But alas, it is becoming another mall destined for deadmalls.com.

Ummm---Walmart. Umm nice try, but even they can't dictate the operations of another company - unless they buy it. Actually, Walmart dictates all the time. They demand certain packaging from vendors all the time and they dictate pricing. Even when dealing with Procter & Gamble. Walmart is so large and moves so much product that companies can't say no.

I would argue that Proctor & Gamble and Chiquita as global companies might impact Delta's decision on whether to keep a hub here. Kroger and Macy's--not so much. Delta also has a near monopoly situation at Cincy's airport. They are not losing any money in Cincinnati with the rates they charge. Anyhow, I think we just need to wait and see how the cards fall. There is too much going on in the business world right now that could impact decisions one way or another. There have been plenty of new state of the art airports that have lost hub status for one reason or another.

Ummm---Walmart.

Cincinnati has Downtown which is finally starting to see life again. Who needs rookwood?
