Yes Thanks John, I was just having some difficulty finding it through all the debate. Perhaps there needs to be a secondary "Cincinnati Streetcar Issues" thread? Oh well, we're all friends here and I'm not around that much. Just like the inside scoop.

I'm checking on this thread to see if there's any actual Cincinnati Streetcar News. I'm guessing there isn't?

Thanks everyone! We're now in 5th place! Please keep voting and sharing!

Next OTR project on horizon 3CDC says historic building must come down 10:06 PM, Jun. 11, 2011 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20110612/BIZ01/306120003/Next-OTR-project-horizon OVER-THE-RHINE – The conflict has played out countless times in other venues, as developers and preservationists square off over tearing down historic buildings. But this time, the purple stucco structure would be the first historic building demolished in Over-the-Rhine by Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC). The nonprofit developer has spent the past five years investing more than $160 million in the neglected neighborhood, home to one of the largest collections of 19th Century Italianate architecture in the country.

Check out its website: http://schwartzspoint.com/ And video from CityBeat: http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/article-23191-the-secret-at-schwartzs-point.html

Nice article! The site has been totally upgraded and is now super fast.

I wonder if we should have an OTR Businesses thread for news stories like this one.

We can hope so.

Something needs to be done about this. Demand change. This is important to understand. Ten years later: Black-on-black violent crime rate rises By: Tanya O'Rourke, WCPO "The vast majority of people being murdered are African American in the City of Cincinnati," said Hamilton County Prosecutor, Joe Deters. "The vast majority. Well outside the 40 percent of the population it should be. In 2009, the City of Cincinnati did not have a single white victim of a homicide. (That) tells me that we have a subset in the underclass of Cincinnati which is committing a lot of violent crime and they tend to be black. And the reality is, you almost always commit murder within your racial classifications. So when we've got a young black man up in the coroners office, it's almost always a result of another young black man shooting him." That same year, 2009, no white men were killed but 44 black men were victims of homicide in Cincinnati as well as 11 black women. Prosecutor Deters says he doesn't know why there are so many homicides in the African American community in Cincinnati, but he can speculate. "I'm not a sociologist," said Deters. "I don't know the answer to that. I do know that, in our juvenile system, when you go to juvenile prison, I have been told that over two thirds of those kids in juvenile prison were raised by their mothers only or their grandmothers only and they had no male authority figure in the household." link: http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/news_archives/Ten-years-later%3A-Black-on-black-violent-crime-rate-rises

thank you unusualfire! the people managing the streetcar need to get proactive and start doing this sort of work. where's that list of businesses who support the streetcar anyway?

Interesting! And "Couture Couture" is going in at 1315 Main and something new by Iris Book Cafe too.

And don't forget about the recent acquisitions near 14th and Walnut

Yes, but this makes me wonder: how much could be made via advertising on the streetcars? How about naming rights to each car/route/etc? I support whatever gets it running.
