Bigger view. :clap:

My quick sketch of what the West End could become if I-75 was demolished and converted into an urban boulevard. One can dream, no? 8-)

I would if I lived there. I'm in Indy.

Pictures!? I don't think we have seen an actual full photo update of the redevelopment this summer. :-(

Has construction wrapped up? Any recent photo updates?

Any updates? I'm rather excited about this project!

I agree. If you look closely it seems like the placement was centered on purpose for perhaps future development. I could easily see additional casino development happening after it has been proven a success. I myself am pleased with the casino design and overall am happy wit the use of such a large property.

I would consider Parvis to be a great option. I can only imagine the quality of renovation they'll deliver and the area is going to quickly make a transition. Vine is almost completely renovated up to Liberty, won't take much longer and Vine St. will be dramatically safer in that particular area.

Could anyone estimate a deadline date where we are positive that the streetcar WILL be constructed by 2012? Is there a funding date that we are watching out for?

3CDC released several new renderings of Washington Park and Gateway's next phase. The pdf can be downloaded here: http://www.otrgateway.com/2010/05/01/washington-parks-major-renovation/

Perhaps Cincy will get lucky and get a residential high rise in the next 2-4 years, a modern one on a diet! The thing that I most welcome this tower for is the amount of glass it is placing into the skyline. I think it is very refreshing against all the muted tones currently in the skyline.

Of course it could have been taller so it felt less overweight, but I still think it's a beautiful tower. :clap:

Looks like the Kroger on Vine is on the list of possible closings due to its under performance. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100427/BIZ01/4280341

I wonder if they just meant the heavy overhead canopy that says "SHOES" on the one story next door because 2 buildings down in the picture looks fine. I can see it filling with water and debris and getting too heavy to support itself.

I'm all for free speech, but the Enquirer really needs to disable comments. Nothing intelligent is ever said. EVER! :shoot:
