yup thats the only reason! I am a little antisocial when it comes to getting bothered at home by people knocking on my door, and the telephone ringing. I got rid of my landline and life has been good. These guys :whip: woke up my son during his naps in the morning and afternoon, I therefore decided to vote on an issues only ballot.

You can hear a dog barking in the background.

Smitty's is also a check cashing store(in the back), the locals use smittys rather than the checks cashed place right up the street. I saw two young white guys with huge expensive cameras taking pictures around that area a couple of weeks ago was that you?? Not the smartest thing at to do as you guys stood out big time!

I walk just about everywhere in cincinnati's downtown basin.In fact I just climbed Mt Auburn this morning to get to my voting precinct. :-D Note to Councilman Ghiz, Open the Collins ave steps back up instead of taking them away from Cincinnatians who use the public stairways for recreation and daily transportation.

It turned out to be that place next to krogers. This is huge news since this is one of the biggest trouble spots on that stretch of vine. Police Raid Over The Rhine, Bust Up Gang Last Update: 7:23 am Web produced by: PJ O'Keefe After getting a search warrant, police barged into a business on Vine Street in Over the Rhine Monday night. Police said they arrested at least five people on various charges involving drugs and selling stolen merchandise. Police said the storefront was the hub for a violent gang known as "The Cotti Boys," which they say is behind a Halloween homicide. City councilman Cecil Thomas gives credit for the bust to good police work and community involvement. "Being a former law enforcement officer myself and having worked these streets here, to see this kind of continuous effort from law enforcement with community support, that means an awful lot. It's huge," Thomas said. The raid was organized by a new crime fighting group known as "CIRV" which stands for Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence.

From Mcmicken to liberty, RT 24 should be the second phase of the street car route up to MLK Then it should head west. Cool maps!

LOL what a sucky mall. Parents Want Refunds After Wonderpark Closes Another business has pulled out of the Cincinnati Mills mall and some parents say they've lost money. They say they booked their children's birthday parties at the Wonderpark, but they got an unwanted surprise when they showed up for the big day. Two families tell 9News they gave Wonderpark money when they scheduled their children's birthday parties. But when they came to the indoor entertainment center inside the mall to celebrate, they found the business was shut down. Kailey Rowe showed 9News the gifts she received for her fifth birthday. The party didn't go as planned though. When her family and nine friends showed up for the Wonderpark party Sunday afternoon the store gate was down – the windows were painted black.

You mean this lady? Sorry I couldn't resist. :-D

New OTR Development, Residents Push Out Crime POSTED: 2:22 pm EST March 3, 2008 UPDATED: 7:36 pm EST March 3, 2008 CINCINNATI -- Dramatic changes have taken place and will continue in Over-the-Rhine, a neighborhood shrouded in both infamy and history, and once-wary home-shoppers and business owners are deciding to take a second look after the area's planned revival. Though Over-the-Rhine is a place where drug deals often overshadow real-estate deals, developer Brandon Smith believes the unique area holds true potential.

Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association just voted in favor of the Streetcar at our monthly meeting. Council will be recieving a letter from the Prez this week.

Right next to kroger right? They have been selling drugs outside of there since the 80's

I have been doing business with Bryan and Josh at Decal impressions for a few years. They are really great guys and support OTR 110% Stop by an seem them sometime, Bryan loves to show off his electric truck!

The area between 14th and liberty especially around 15th needs some help asap, alot of crime in OTR takes place in that section. I would guess most suburbanites that would visit lavomatic will probably drive north to liberty to hop over to 471 or 71 north after going there. If the momentum keeps going and we make it all the way to liberty many perceptions about OTR will be changed forever since probably only uptowners would drive up vine st hill to get home.

Streetcars will only make OTR and downtown safer. CINCINNATI -- It's a place that's still used as the city's boogeyman by some: Don't go to Over-the-Rhine, it's not safe. But you might be surprised to hear what's happened to the crime rate in the last two years. Tonight at 5, News 5 looks at Over-the-Rhine's steady return from the ashes and why it might now be one of the safest places in Cincinnati.

Well, I WAS interested in Obama but the obama door knockers have annoyed me to the point where I will never vote for him. 4 times in 1 days???!! :x

Super!!! With the proposed streetcar, new jean robert at 12th and vine, the reopening of grammers, citys tallest and now the banks. There is some serious momentum going on! :clap:

I am starting to think she has a connection to some social services in her past, this might explain why she is against development in OTR. I know the building with the address 2001. That is off rt 50 up the hill when you get off 275.

I lived at Summit View on Lehman. I had the freakin best view of the city, I lived on the 8th floor which was the top. I called it the Penthouse unit. 8-) There were always fliers by the elevator to call MSD if there was an odor, of course we all had the # memorized and it didn't do anything when we did call. The stench was at it's worse in the hot humid summers.... Going back to the streetcar, did anybody notice on the news the other day about the falling housing prices? The only 3 cities in the index where prices rose were streetcar cities. All but three of the 20 cities in the index showed year- over-year declines in prices in December, led by a 17.5 percent decrease in Miami and drops of 15.3 percent in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Prices rose in Seattle, Charlotte and Portland, Oregon. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aw61M2mwbf48&refer=home

OH man!! that was funny about the Wendys and DMV. :lol: When I think of East Price Hill the first things that pop in my head from having lived in East Price Hill are DMV, Price Hill Chili and poop stench from MSD.

I lived in East Price Hill for a couple of years, good thing I was renting as it was going down the tubes fast! Price Hill will further deteriorate if the core is not revitalized and if he doesn't realize this he is in for a rude awakening. Price hill has a little hope as prices for nice homes are cheap and there is a good view of downtown from it's hillsides. Witte needs to get on board, or be left to wallow in decay.

He sure doesnt want them in his backyard.. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080226/NEWS01/802260348/1056/COL02

Diesel prices are pretty shocking, I saw 3.69 the other day. I don't mind high gas prices, it's good for our cities in the long run. $5./gallon would be great, BRING IT!
