Downtown's are reshaped all the time; I wouldn't mind a few 30 story buildings in my neighborhood of Avondale.

As long as we don't make a cavern of development along the river, we need to note that the river's beauty is enhanced when it mixes the commercial with nature not when it suplants nature for commercial.

To type chinese/japanese/korean or other scripts I've installed the additional language packs onto my computer.

对不起我不写日文不过我可以写汉语。 I didn't write Japanese I can write chinese though. Basically i was saying in the previous post "that sucks".

Not nice 7th street is lacking people, it is lacking people. With Macy's and the bars nearby it wouldn't be a bad spot for condos.

^Sounds like Norm's wisdom (and an old adage not used enough).

糟糕！The building could have been more aggressive.

this is so new york, crammed location and accesssible to everything.

^Doesn't sound silly at all, companies rely upon strong branded identity and many companies use the Cincinnati, Ohio name because it confers much more recognition than any of the other local cities, suburbs, municipalities etc. My company is located in Covington and yet for outside communication we mention Cincinnati, Ohio.

Rates in India are dramatically escalating due to a talent squeeze so the US is getting more cost competitive now additionally while the dollars per hour in India may be less there still is significant investment in development notably cultural sensitivity and english.

From the Enquirer I would expect that but from the Courier...

something will happen at this site too good of a location not too and Oakley should stay involved, probably it'll guided by Crossroads Church intervention

My biggest fear for the city is that people like me want be drawn to this place. I'm firmly international/multicultural in my perspective and I love diversity. Great assets here but just need a little more to put it together, I'll give the city a chance but will others.

Great news for Avondale. Having the Reading Rd projects and the Dana project together mark this as good news for the community.

I usually inform people about the costs of Fountain Square but when I hear the frequency of such claims indicates that the city isn't doing all it could to stem purblic perception and further more there could be a regional effort to show people that everyone is on board in making this entire region stronger by showing unity.

I met with the CHCURC guy a year and a half ago and he mentioned that a boutique hotel was in the workds for that site but until I here a name attached to this this is dead to me but I'm eagerly awaiting that news.

Location and desirability necesitate that nothing here should be under 450K

How many times will the same retail be replicated around here? I'm getting tired of these development concepts. I know its market reality but it is also frustrating.

Been in China for the past 6 months and I rode these type of buses all the time connecting cities and they are typically sub American standard but they still work really well.

sounds like something that should get a lot of media attention

chains are a good idea to help build presence for parts of OTR. I like unique shops and I also welcome soe retail familiarity, thois would align with the majority of cats out there.

I live in Avondale. Work in Covington. Went to school at Walnut Hills High School. Go to Sawyer Point as often as I can. Travelling the world right now (writing from Chiang Mai Thailand) doing adventure/outdoorsy stuff and looking forward to being back in Cincinnati in 5 weeks.

I liked Roxanne gutsy with a good perspective on things. I'm glad she's still active in the city.

Fountain Square is destined to be the touristy part of downtown along with the Banks that'll mean smaller shops popping up other places downtown. I can live with that scenario moreso than an endless wonder of Starbucks throughout.
