Since that is completely hypothetical, it is hard to say. If Bauman was an avid Cranley supporter, then I suppose Cranley might have lobbied on his behalf. That said, I don't recall hearing about Cranley inserting himself into the process or making any comments on the nature of the slate. Probably did not want to draw attention to the fact that none of the non-incumbents (that I can think of - correct me if I am forgetting someone) officially endorsed him.

Bauman raised over $100,000. Cranley had nothing to do with him and LQ missing the Dem endorsement. LQ missed it because she virtually disappeared from politics after losing and there was probably some resentment around that. Bauman definitely should have gotten the endorsement. Like it or not, the party wanted a ticket that reflects the diversity of the city and he was behind PG, Mann, Seelbach, and Landsman in the white male line. There is no question that if he wants it, he will get the endorsement in 4 years and likely win one of the 6 open spots.

1. It is oceanfront property in Naples. Looking at comps in the area $10 million seems high but not far-fetched. 2. It looks like the Cranley family bought it for around $250,000 in the 1970s, which is what, almost $1 million in today's dollars? Obviously his father was successful. I have no issue with this. It is for others to dispute any narratives about growing up blue collar. He went to St. X which isn't exactly blue collar, but again, who actually cares? 3. If there turns out to be a connection between the Chicago LLC and a city incentive, then that is a criminal kickback. Sounds like no one has found a connection, yet. I don't think Cranley would be stupid enough to let himself be done in by something like this. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.

Not necessarily. She was hurt just as much, if not more, by the Dems endorsing 10.

Not exactly how it works. The geographic distribution points affect the "Cincinnati region" overall because we do so well every round. OTR does have an advantage over CBD, because it is (for now) a lower income census tract. Most likely, Cincinnati will get one award in the large pool ($2 million or more), two in the medium pool ($250,000 to under $2 million), and a handful in the small pool (under $250,000).

I predict all 6 incumbents win plus Landsman, Dennard, Quinlivan. Bauman, Dillingham, Frondorf, and Pastor are on the bubble.

I had always heard of it as the Shillito's garage, was Shillito's a part of Federated? Yes.

Putting his aside his motivations for appearing more moderate, if more Republicans were acting like Kasich right now we would probably be better off as a country.

^I thought the Film Center was Urban Sites.

After reading the article, I don't really understand why "Adam Hyland, vice president of the business association and president of Clifton Market" is publicly airing his frustration about the proposed deal and Gaslight's reluctance to have a lengthy dialogue about impact with the community. The validity of those concerns aside, doesn't the business association own the lot? Does that mean his viewpoint is in the minority among the other members of the business association?

^Grandin View was the seller, not the buyer.

With the population increase, the overall number of people walking to work has actually increased slightly. In the short term, a higher percentage of "reverse-commuters" moving to the core isn't great because of parking needs, but long term I'm hopeful that employers are encouraged to follow their employees downtown.

Gray Road is one of my favorite corridors in Cincinnati. I hope it doesn't get developed. The landfill might keep speculators away.

Don't forget you can also vote by mail! http://boe.hamilton-co.org/voting-before-election-day/voting-by-mail.aspx

This makes way more sense. Starbucks often requires terms that prevent coffee-type establishments elsewhere in a development. ToB's counter where it sells to-go coffee and pastries would certainly be disallowed.

Intuitively, a brand new 350-450 sf apartment in the $600-$900/month range should work well in CBD/OTR. At that size you can still get some psychological separation between "living" and "sleeping" areas. You might be able to justify even higher prices if the building itself has some extra amenities. Throw in a storage unit and you don't even really have to commit to the minimalist lifestyle. Going down to 250 sf is a real lifestyle commitment.

P.G. Wodehouse to be precise. The Sittenfelds have a bit of a Royal Tenenbaums vibe going on, without the falls from grace.

To be fair, he never went by "D. Joseph Deters." His name on the ballot was "Dennis Joseph Deters." Also ridiculous and ultimately a pointless bit of sketchy gamesmanship. I always marvel at the ability of politicians to reconcile their own massive egos with their reliance on the prior success and notoriety of family members.

I happen to really like frozen grapes, so I'll stick about half of them in the freezer. Be sure to wash them first.

Caught this on my morning commute. Worth a listen. http://wvxu.org/post/female-hispanics-targeted-price-hill-robberies

There used to be a restaurant called "Jekyll's in Hyde Park" on the site of what is now the Kroger gas station in Hyde Park Plaza.

Sure, in a partisan primary. But the wording of the charter leads me to believe that the "nomination" is the filing of the petition to get on the ballot, and thus "accepting the nomination" would essentially be allowing your name to be on the ballot.

This concept has been bugging me. I've heard different things from different people as to whether a primary loser could then run for council. Recently, someone I trust told me point blank that such a candidate would definitively be ineligible to run for council. I just checked the charter, which states: It looks like allowing your name to be on the mayoral primary ballot would constitute having "accepted the nomination for mayor" and therefore that person would not be eligible to run for council the same year. If someone has a different interpretation, please let it be known!
