Here's a nice overview shot. And a good read about investing in Cincy from an outside developer. http://granolashotgun.com/2015/06/21/some-kindly-advice-from-an-old-white-guy/

I see a new office worker contest. Heck with the fish toss and turkey bowl, let there be streetcar pulls...

Wasson Way Project Hope you are sitting down !!!! The City of Cincinnati and Norfolk Southern have agreed on the terms for the sale of the right-of-way ! This is something that a dedicated group of about 20 volunteers have been working on for four years. The City Administration and Mayor Cranley deserve tremendous credit for their persistence...negotiations were very arduous. Once the contract is signed it will not be a question of "if" but only "when" we build the WW! This week the contract gets presented to City Council...so look for lots of updates.....

That looks white and gold to me.

NFL Draft is just a few days away. Granted, the draft is boring for us Bengal fans... just adding more depth, special teamers, practice squad guys for a fifth consecutive playoff season. But they'll have the best hat in Chicago...

I've gotta defend the IKEA Kitchen. The few I've seen are very nice. IDK if IKEA offers off-the-self options, but the one's I've seen are custom for the house.

And there's this Cranley quote. "...I believe the streetcar project is premised on an elitist point of view that it is somehow better than bus service," Cranley said. "I don't want SORTA creating a special class for riders or operators. I don't want streetcar operators subject to a different level of benefits. We intend to have the same type of person who operates our buses to operate our streetcars."

Dramatic, major logo news on par with Cleveland's recent announcement. GABP logo. . . now with a blue background.

Nice profile of the UC vs X rivalry. Even if the writer is a tOSU guy. "...Cincinnati is located pretty much where Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky meet ... It’s as if Cincinnati, in its early days, had a citywide meeting to decide which state to associate itself with and the residents picked none of the above and decided to just do their own thing." http://grantland.com/the-triangle/unheralded-rivalry-report-ncaa-college-basketball-cincinnati-xavier-the-crosstown-shootout-oscar-robertson-bob-huggins-pete-gillen-david-west/

Or just a ton of decent development that revitalizes underused buildings and fills in some surface lots. Iconic would certainly be nice, though. About those surface lots. . . "It is going to be partnerships that you form with landowners because there aren't many willing sellers downtown. A parking lot is like an annuity." Nice article overall.

It looks like a bunch of shipping containers stacked on top of each other.

Cranley cant do too much about it. The city does not own the building. Now, if they can convince another developer to develop another convention hotel on the 4th and Plum lot that is a different story. As far as the Millenium goes, the out of the country owner is enjoying that it operates as a cash cow for them. I don't think that's true. Mayor Mallory and the previous city administration were pretty aggressive in reaching out to the hotel's ownership and expressing concern about it's condition and offering plans on what can be done. I just noticed the first post in this thread has an article that explains it pretty well. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130715/BIZ01/307150013?nclick_check=1

That's priceless. A former Enquirer reporter insisted he could speed walk faster than the streetcar. http://www.ajc.com/videos/news/photojournalist-gets-schooled-by-the-atlanta/vC8Jtg/

Bearcats currently up 17 points against NC St. An odd start time of 4 pm on ESPNU. Just came across it.

That's how elite teams get it done. Who Dey!

Hell ya!

Will Butler of Arcade Fire is a nice get. Can't say I'm interested in the orchestra stuff, unless it involves Deep Purple or Procol Harum.

Funny how bengals fans are quick to forget the initial loss we handed to them. Yeah, the Browns lost and it was a crappy team performance all around, but at the end of the day, we split the series this year. Yeah, you guys will make the playoffs. So rep the AFC north well. Someone needs to... You seem to be conveniently ignoring all the trash talk on the Browns thread. Even when Manziel has an open lane, he still can't throw over people. Total domination.

In the fine print for the card; they go in affect starting on the first day of revenue service. It's commemorative card. I get to call myself a Founding Club Member. I plan on impressing the ladies with it.

I ordered a pass online. I'm debating whether to give it as a gift or keep for myself. https://secure.pledgeconnect.com/payment.aspx?go-metro
