Yep! DISORDER CALLS FOR SERVICE REPORTING AREAS 22 AND 28 JAN-JUL 2005 RA 22 HAD 265 CALLS RA 28 HAD 81 CALLS

I went one time and it sucked...I miss the old forest fairmall. Bring back the minature golf and arcade! Does anybody else on this forum actually shop there?

I was just kidding! :-D Thanks for keeping us up to date on the going on's of middletown!

uggghhhh...There goes the neighborhood! I have heard some ok things about them on mulberry st. though, maybe michael redmond could chime in. This neighborhood needs some pricey homes in the hard to reach places,then police would go back there. It would also be a great place for artists living spaces and residences being it's right next to the Pendleton arts center.

I just noticed the buildings on danridge st in pendleton have rehab dumpsters out in the street. You can see them when driving on liberty. I will have to investigate!

Can you imagine someone in middletown pronouncing Beau Verre Riordan? LOL

They are doing the side closest to the new tower it looks surgical but they are getting alot done! The cinder block is now visible. It looks like they have a long way to go but it's a start! :clap:

Went for a walk downtown and saw demolition crew taking off brick veneer from the western southern parking garage. Could this be the first phase in the destruction of the garage for the Queen city tower 2nd phase??? :-o I hope so!!

Hardly.. The dealers were still in opertation DURING school hours when the rothenburg school was still operating, not to mention after hours and during summer break! The buildings being rehabbed as market rate is a better way to get the bad element to move on, hopefully all the way out to west chester :-P

. Yea! even worse is lumping Cincinnati/Dayton...ughhhh!!

Downtown Chase Nabs Man Wielding Automatic Weapon Reported by: 9News Web produced by: Neil Relyea Photographed by: 9News 10/3/2005 10:45:01 PM A man wielding an automatic assault weapon led police on a tense chase through downtown streets Monday night. Cincinnati officers say they saw the man pointing the assault weapon at people near Green and Race streets. IN OTR When they tried to stop him he jumped in a car and drove off. Police say he then started throwing drugs and weapons out of the car. Police threw stop sticks on Fourth Street near Vine which finally stopped him. Police say they also recovered several rounds of ammunition in the suspect's car.

Huff Realty will sponsor the Mulberry Hill Tour for Life, a tour of 25 near-downtown homes to help raise money for a charity. The event, from noon to 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 9, will be a self-guided tour of for-sale and private property in Prospect Hill, Mulberry Hill, the hillsides of Over-the-Rhine and Mount Auburn as well as Conroy and Klotter streets in Fairview Heights :clap: Thanks for the offer on the ticket but I want my $ to go to charity.

Hey mike, how are the german lofts coming along? I haven't been over near mulberry for a few weeks. I can't wait for the tour! You guys should make this an annual event. This is really my fave part of cincinnati!

A noun business_district, downtown the commercial center of a town or city :speech: See you tommorow!

:drunk: ??? none of those are downtown..

F walfart! why do people shop there??? they must love that cheap chinese crap! :whip:

Boo!! athens has sucked ever since they got a walmart, and now this shite.

The area around findlay market is actually the most depressed area of OTR and the city. i would rather it be a .22 then a .44 shotgun or AK. I'm surprised the police aren't more active at and around the market. One major incident will keep people from going to the market.

Once again green st makes the news. The street that gives otr a bad name over and over again. Landlord Battling Drug Dealers LAST UPDATE: 9/16/2005 3:50:33 PM Cincinnati city leaders have said for years, that one of the keys to helping downtown make a comeback is to get outside investors to pitch in and help rebuild Over the Rhine. But tonight we're going to give you an exclusive, inside look at just how tough it is for investors, even with the best intentions to try to help the troubled community. Local 12's Rich Jaffe found that for one local woman, doing business in the community means an almost daily battle with drug dealers. A married mom from Indian Hill, Gina Strohm inherited the apartment building on Green Street. Roaches, bullet holes, and drug dealers came along with it. "On Monday they threw the rock through my car, and I put out evictions the next day to anybody who was connected to the drugs, and so Thursday, that same guy that had the guns threatened Greg, that the same thing might happen to him or he might get shot." Just yesterday, showing a vacant apartment to a prospective tenant, Strom found two assault rifles. John Heine, Cincinnati Police Division: "We're getting all sorts of guns and sometimes, we're outgunned at some points." Police believe people from outlying communities are trading guns for heroin in Over the Rhine. In another empty apartment they recently found three rifles. "It was a real good thing to get those off the street, they were scoped rifles, they could have been used at any time against anyone, so we're real happy we got those off the street along with the ones yesterday." Keeping drug dealers out of buildings like this is a full time job. Iron gates simply get ripped off their hinges. Checking mailboxes for drugs, today police found nothing, but searching above the door to Strom's building they found a drug scale. "Overnight someone's been in this supposedly empty apartment, where the guns were found just yesterday and what they've left behind really comes as no surprise, up here you can see 9mm shell casings and over here on the counter, a digital scale for weighing your dope." Strom rents primarily to women and families, and believes the good she's doing outweighs the risks. Gina Strohm, Property Owner: "It is a safety net that's essential...) so yeah I could just bail out, I just haven't been shown it's my time to finish this project and move on yet." But every bullet hole moves her a little closer... Rich Jaffe, Local 12. Gina Strohm has nothing but praise for the job Cincinnati Police are doing in the neighborhood. Shortly after our crew left, she tells us drug dealers put two boxes of marijuana in a closet inside her building, then put their own lock on the door. Another man was seen putting a gun in a car across the street. When police were called they confiscated both the dope and the gun.

Of course the buildings look old its a Historic district the rundown buildings are waiting their turn. The living conditions in some of the buildings are the same as any other part of cincinnati. You don't know OTR the RESIDENTS are friendly. The scumbags that come in and take over the streets from other neighborhoods aren't friendly. It's dangerous in OTR if you are a young black male using or dealing in drugs.

I imagine the CPS to build an amoeba like that right in the middle of OTR.

The residents of OTR aren't the problem, most are poor and have some sort of handicap physically or mentally.Most are generally good people that need guidance and help. The gangbangers and drug dealers from the westend, avondale,westwood walnut hills, winton terrace are the problem they use OTR as their playground for business to solicit drugs, prostitution etc. Soon they will be pushed back into THEIR own neighborhoods. :x

one block from green st. maybe less than a block if she was south of elder. The tour goes right past green st. The same areas I pointed out earlier as not good. Pendleton was never a part of OTR until a few decades ago. I agree with the residents of pendleton they want their historic name

OTR is huge there are some bad areas. Green st between vine and elm. 14th and race come to mind. During the day most areas seem to be pretty safe and I walk thru OTR almost everyday for the last couple of years and have never had a problem. knock knock
