KnoxHillNotReal

Exactly. your commentary raises concerns to me about what the future for small scale developers might look like in OTR. is 3CDC going to run the show for the foreseeable future? I'm writing this reply for people like mcadrenaline who do not know RestorationConsultant (Real name: P. Willham) and the ax he loves to grind. Mr. Willham has manifold problems but the two most relevant to this conversation: [*]He's a faux preservationist operating in a "neighborhood" he created out of thin air [*]His envy of OTR's rebirth is clearly part of his modus operandi 1. Let's start with the imaginary "Knox Hill." It simply does not exist. It was created in the mind of Mr. Willham and has no basis in reality to anyone that has not been subject to Mr. Willham's pathetic propaganda. The "Knox Hill Neighborhood Association" does not exist outside the confines of Mr. Willham's mind either, though its professional website declares it to be a "501C3 (pending) community organization." Pending, of course. Do you really think your elaborate con will fool anyone enough into "saving Knox Hill and South Fairmount" with you? Do not sully Mike Morgan's name by discussing things about which you know NOTHING. You and other faux "preservationists" like "Lacey Dresses" are accomplishing nothing good. "Lacey" (Real name: L. Sipes) lost her suit against OTR ADOPT (the entity that let her "adopt" 1737 Elm St. at no cost) in a cut and dry case. She butchered 1737 Elm St in OTR near Findlay Market then high-tailed it out of town after trying to blame OTR ADOPT. You defended Ms. Sipes' lie that "The IRS only recognized OTRADOPT as a non profit in JUNE 2011 well after the contract with the buyers of the property." This proved to be a lie and OTR ADOPT easily won the lawsuit in court. OTR ADOPT was incorporated as a nonprofit on 1/21/11 - look it up. This brings us to point two. 2. Sadly, you have something against OTR. Do you feel that Knox Hill/South Fairmount is threatened by OTR's amazing renaissance? After all, you wrote: Is that why you malign its revitalization, the Cincinnati Preservation Association, the OTR Foundation, 3CDC, et al? I really don't understand why you care enough to misdirect every OTR related thread back to how horrible it is and how great things are in "Knox Hill." Finally, you need to apologize to Thomas Palmer at Preservation Ohio, Lucy May at the Cincinnati Business Courier, and everyone else who received your 'news release' and believed it. You lied to them about "the generosity of one of Knox Hill's Board members" when you (aka the "Knox Hill Neighborhood Association" announced that "the Historic Chas Winkler House, located at 1855 Knox Street will be saved from the city wrecking ball." Now, anyone can go to hamiltoncountyauditor.org and look up the owner of 1855 Knox Street as a Mr. Gregory A. Drake of 417 N. Arsenal Ave., Indianapolis. If you look up that address, you'll see it is the same house that you described as "our Indy house" and "The Willows" that "we bought". Gregory A. Drake is your partner that live with in the house in "Knox Hill" that you bought for $4250 according to another news story that you pushed into the local media. Furthermore, you have "The Willows" listed as an "available property" on your other website for the ridiculous price of $269,900: https://sites.google.com/site/thevictorianrestorer/availableproperties Through all your lies and deceptions, you continue bash OTR and ride down the city of Cincinnati. If the grass really is greener elsewhere, then go. And until then, refrain from making ludicrous excuses for why you're not interested in OTR like you'd "probably have less exposure." The one thing people cannot accuse OTR of having is too little exposure. Get a clue. Knox Hill is not real. Its neighborhood association is not real.
