Talk about getting a little egg on your face...a whole dairy case of 'em toppled over on him. :clap:

^ Agreed. I like the way this real estate offering pops up as "Northside, OH," as if located in a city different than Cincy, such as Norwood, OH.

Very pleased to read these reasons. However, one quote from the Business Journal article really startled me... "Cincinnati ranked ninth nationally for retail spending at $67.7 billion" Something wrong here; no way this could be true! However, within the Kenwood Collection's own promo brochure PDF, I discovered an oval figure encircling Cincinnati-Dayton-Louisville as a region, plus the retailing $$ figure from above. Only then did the quote make sense.

What happened here? The quoted material above concerning a downtown store didn't come from the enclosed link about the new Corryville store.

z-zz-z-zzz-z (It'll probably be closed in a year or two... ) zz-z-zzz-z-zz :wink:

Considering John Harkes' praiseworthy achievements as FC's first-year head coach, this comes as a shocking decision by team management. Exactly why was this questionable decision really made?

Looks like you covered all bases with this photo set, proving your point about the sheer amount of rehab south of Liberty!

Thanks for such a comprehensive set of photos; I had absolutely no idea that this was the extent of renovation in Pendleton.

"Pleased" to report that DWELL MAGAZINE (Jan-Feb 2017, pp70-77) just featured a major article on Ryan Santos' OTR restaurant Please.

Sorry, I won't be able to be there.

I also enjoyed these A2 photos, especially of the Nickels Arcade. Nevertheless, please be advised to either don a flak jacket or seek a bunker for protection. You already know why. :laugh:

A smart move and one so like Kroger. The food store giant typically moves quietly, but aggressively, behind the scenes, then pops into public view with its prize.

Let me make this very clear - a bus is not a streetcar. The sole purpose my wife and I came downtown yesterday was for her to ride a streetcar for the first time. We purchased two all-day tickets planning to ride streetcars at will while visiting various destinations along the route. The fact that both of us had wasted even more money riding Metro*Plus from Norwood to Findlay Market to enjoy the day only added to our disappointment.

Yes, very much so. Unfortunately, my wife and I were on the receiving end of this mishap yesterday morning, as were many others awaiting the streetcar at the Findlay Market/Race St. stop. It never came. Instead, a Metro shuttle bus pulled up and the driver told everyone that the entire system was down and to board the bus. After working through our collective WTF surprise, everyone standing there did just that. Needless to say, all our validated tickets were now worthless. Later, it was learned that information first obtained from the Enquirer was sketchy at best and they claimed that they were unable to get answers from SORTA. This was the same resistance to such questions my wife and I encountered when we went up to the Metro Customer Service office @ 602 Main St, 11th floor to recover the losses for our tickets. The woman at the desk was either uninformed herself or extremely evasive; it took considerable time and effort to be compensated. The lack of transparency as to what actually happened to the streetcar yesterday makes the incident all the more suspicious. If it was due to neglect or carelessness, measures need to be taken to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. As Jmecklenborg pointed out, this mishap could have caused extensive damage and possibly personal injury. The public needs reassurance now, not later.

Greater Cincinnati ranked the third largest exporter in the Midwest: http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2016/09/09/cincinnati-breaks-export-record.html http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2016/09/08/cincinnati-region-sets-record-241b-exports-us-says/90093008/ The update's individual PDF's state the case well enough: http://trade.gov/mas/ian/metroreport/tg_ian_003084.asp

OMG, I can't believe it - i.e., seeing John Cranley helping open the streetcar ceremony...sort of like allowing Joseph Goebbels to deliver the commencement speech at Brandeis University. :-o

It wouldn't be surprising to discover "undercover Kroger agents" snooping about within this brand new Columbus Bexley market, looking for what just might work in downtown Cincinnati. As for myself, I think they really need to hang around here and take copious notes. http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2016/08/15/bexleys-market-district-express-could-provide-key.html http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2016/08/16/bexleys-newest-restaurant-opens-this-week-inside.html

Let's just say that on a competing urban centered web site, I've learned the hard way to tip toe lightly when comparing downtown population stats - and, especially so concerning Cincinnati vs. Cleveland. They talk about 14,000, we talk about 16,000 - but in a downtown maybe half their size. Somebody always get mad.

Hmmm, Cincinnati's downtown... What this should encompass has long been a contentious point of disagreement between the 3-Cs. As it stands, both Cleveland and Columbus can justifiably brag about how much larger in area their downtowns are than that of Cincinnati. Yet whenever Cincinnati advocates include OTR and Pendleton, etc, in any residential headcount, the other two cities almost always object. So, keeping this in mind, two revealing sets of stats contrasting two downtowns: http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2016/04/22/how-much-has-the-population-grown-in-cincinnati-s.html http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2016/07/26/state-of-downtown-columbus-population-nearing-8k.html
