Considering Mallory lives on Dayton St. and his family has been termed the "Dayton Dynasty," I'm sure he will have a keen interest in what happens with the CityLink project.

From Today's Enquirer: Luxury condos planned in city Large development near Purple bridge By Marla Matzer Rose Enquirer staff writer The Kentucky riverfront has several luxury condo projects under construction or in preparation. Now, the Ohio side may soon have one. A $75 million condo and restaurant development dubbed RiverCrossing is planned in Cincinnati next to the Purple People Bridge, on the site of what is now the Montgomery Inn Banquet Center. No link available.

There's a bike shop on McMillan and Clifton, by UC. Independently owned and dedicated to bikes. I think it's called Campus Cyclery. There's also one further up Clifton towards Ludlow called BioWheels.

The Rookwood Pottery restaurant has indeed been bought by new owners. I don't know if they owned the Chop House, though.

Those houses in Carthage are ugly. But they are brownfield, owner-occupied, and inside the city limits, so I'll take it.

More patrols in OTR can be a good thing, if the deputies are properly trained in both urban policing techniques and community relations (as the Cincinnati Police officers are).

RiverViewer, in the future when you exit at Liberty, turn right on Sycamore and take that route up to Clifton. A little less direct, but a lot more peaceful.

inkaelin, I agree completely. Thank you for the excellent post.

I alternate between walking and busing my 3/4 mile commute, depending on the weather and how comfortable my shoes are.

Some of the later renderings posted earlier in this thread (whose links are now broken) showed one retail space on the first floor at the corner. In addition to the one tiny space already built into the garage.

The top reminds me of a mortarboard. Too bad they couldn't put the historic roof back on, that top unit could have been pretty cool with vaulted ceilings underneath it!

I think the American Can project will need its own thread before long!

I agree with inkaelin about the windows (though I think the term is 'muntin' bars) and with CiNYC that the proportions are off. It seems like any first-year design or architecture student could have done better. It's really too bad, because these houses are prominently located next to the busy Mt. Lookout square. An opportunity squandered...

I can't believe Cincinnati didn't annex Norwood way back when. These projects are just redistributing benefits from one political subdivision to another, when both are under much more serious threats from outlying greenfield suburbs. I hope the resulting office park type buildings aren't too much of a drag on downtown. To that extent, it's like two rats fighting over a piece of bread on a sinking ship. That said, it's great to see brownfield redevelopment in our urban core.

Very exciting. Once there's a train, I won't have an excuse to never have visited Cleveland.

Nice spelunking pic!

Cincinnati kid, I think you might have misread the sentence about the Emery Theatre funds. I believe the money was taken from the theatre rehab account and diverted to other purposes. It is a confusing sentence.

Wow, those are ugly!

An MLS search for properties on Vine St. shows that only 3 units are Under Contract. I imagine it will be much easier to sell them when they are closer to completion.

Good things come to those who wait. I have a good feeling about that part of town when these condos are completed and occupied.

Wow! That looks so much better than the existing office skyscrapers downtown.

As much as I can't stand Peter Bronson's opinions or his smug delivery, the statistics do bear out his point here. The 9/11 reference on 9/11 is pretty fucking insensitive though.

Any updates on the situation? Did you get moved in? If so, I want to see pictures!
