    Here is the ugliness that I hope is only temporary...

  4. He Tweeted it though.
  5. Part of the bike share station outside the Freedom Center extends over the curb. I could see an unsuspecting box truck accidentally taking it out.
  6. Sloanie will probably dedicate at least half the segment to Ferguson.
  7. Saks not heading to Kenwood Collection: Cincinnati: Retail News
  8. Developer: Saks not heading to Kenwood Collection Phillips Edison & Co. said Tuesday that it is no longer pursuing a lease with Saks Fifth Avenue for retail space in The Kenwood Collection. The Sycamore Township-based real estate developer had been in negotiations with the luxury department store chain for more than a year. It was announced in November that Saks would leave its Downtown location once a new store was built at the mixed-use development along Interstate 71 at Galbraith Road. Cont
  9. Noticed at lunch that the onsite bar/restaurant has been branded D. Burnham's, a tribute to the buildings architect Daniel Burnham.
  10. Not sure if the irrigation system was out of service during construction but there was crew working on it yesterday.
  11. This is surprising as every lunch hour they was busy... Downtown Cincinnati steakhouse closes Kiji, a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant in the former downtown Cincinnati Benihana space, has closed. A handwritten sign was posted on the door of the eatery at 126 E. Sixth St. The restaurant opened in February after the space was renovated. Cont
  12. Dem candidate used to hunt for UFOs, ghost Now that Sean Feeney is definitely, for sure, the Democratic candidate against Hamilton County Commissioner Chris Monzel, we should get to know him a little bit. As his Twitter handle, @SeanFromIT, suggests, he works in IT. He lives in North College Hill. He intends to run on a platform of good governance. And, he is a former paranormal investigator. Since I'm your political columnist, paid to ask the hard questions, yes, I asked: Do you believe in UFOs and ghosts? Cont

  16. It'll be interesting to see how evening rush hour traffic is handled at the Fourth & Walnut intersection with Renaissance valet taking up a lane. Yesterday afternoon there were probably 10 cars unloading. The valet drivers can be seen running down Fourth St. from the Pogue garage. Figure this will switch to Mabley Place garage once it's complete. Still, that's a lot of ground to cover and the hotel isn't completely finished.

    ^ It could be as simple as the information was released late Friday. Or the thread's Subject. I'm reviewing posts and will create an apartment thread...
  18. Not that this is related... but the past two mornings I have noticed surveyors between Eggleston to Mehring Way with their focus being at the base of the PPB.
  19. Tweet from @CarolynWashburn in reference to said article: "Was never intended to be published. We wouldn’t write about financial planner w/misdemeanor charge. And no they didn’t call us." They. It's as if she's channeling her inner Mrs. Mia Wallace... "When you little scamps get together, you're worse than a sewing circle."
  20. Per the Enquirer's Criticism grows over Union Terminal levy: The commissioners fired back by warning their critics to get behind the levy for Union Terminal or risk missing out on $170 million in taxpayer support for that building's renovation. "I understand they're criticizing us for not rubber-stamping their proposal, but that would not have been responsible for county taxpayers," said Commissioner Greg Hartmann, who voted for the Union Terminal plan with fellow Republican Chris Monzel. "I'd suggest for them to let the emotion come out of this a little if they want to pass this ballot initiative," Hartmann told the Enquirer. "I'd recommend a different approach." Cont
  21. Giant robot returns to downtown Cincinnati Erin Caproni - Digital Producer - Cincinnati Business Courier A familiar face is returning to downtown Cincinnati in a new location. Metrobot, a 27-foot tall robot sculpture, will be reintroduced to the Queen City at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 10.The structure will be located outside the Contemporary Arts Center on Walnut and Sixth streets.

Haile Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation have provided funding to restore Metrobot and return it to the CAC. The sculpture was de-installed in 2009 and put into storage until CAC found a permanent home. Cont

    Reds pay homage to past with 2015 All-Star logo CINCINNATI -- Traditionally, Major League Baseball's All-Star festivities do not just celebrate the stars of today's game. They also present a perfect time to shine the spotlight back on the legends and characters from yesteryear, especially those who once played for the host team. Assuming that will be the case next year, baseball fans are in for some fun. The Reds, baseball's oldest franchise, have housed some of the most decorated players in the game's history. Every decade sprouted stars remembered fondly to this day; some for their career-long heroics, others for isolated moments that added to the franchise's long-standing winning tradition. The Reds' rich history is one of their most endearing qualities, and it has been captured classically and tastefully on the 2015 All-Star logo, revealed Wednesday morning at Great American Ball Park, where the game will be played on July 14.
