And a Casper store!

Pretty poorly planned troll job by 1400 Sycamore[/member] here - doubling down on on a misinformed Motel 6 comparison is a good way to expose yourself but too naïve to really fan the flames. This looks promising! Unabashedly modern could be much more effective on Liberty than the modern-and-ashamed aesthetic we've seen farther south.

Regardless of what this means for Main Street, you couldn't script the timing of these openings and closings any better for the owners of QCR.

Looks like Clifton's UPA 2.0 with an angled setback to me. Rework away.

This is a really good point, but you would think that the restaurant industry would be the one type of brick-and-mortar retail that would be at least somewhat immune to the takeover by online retail.

Many of the lots that park cars this way don't even use attendants. I'm not sure what the exact system is, but the lots across 13th from the old SCPA cram cars in nose to tail like that, and there are no attendants for most of them.

One reason I recommended Peaky Blinders above is how short and sweet it is so far. Each season is only 6 episodes, and there are only two seasons on Netflix thus far, but it still manages to be immensely satisfying. Good place to start for someone who doesn't have much time to binge watch or who is just diving into Netflix.

The 4th Street side looks a little matchy-matchy with Dunnhumby 84.51.

thebillshark[/member] - in terms of very blue sky thinking, was it you who threw out the idea a few years ago to build a replacement for US Bank Arena on the footprint of the current jail? That is still my favorite pipe dream to envision every time I'm walking by the jail.

Dude, you don't get it at all. Nobody ever implied that this concept wouldn't work - in fact we're all saying the exact opposite. If you think that this is even a remotely original idea in OTR, either that promo video is really working its magic on you or you've never stepped foot in Moerlein or Halfcut. Those bars already have the exact same board game selection, hip social atmosphere, and devoted following of the tabletop gaming community you mention above, and have been thriving for years.

With the exception of Moerlein and Cincy by the Slice, I can't think of a single bar in OTR that has darts or pool. (Maybe the Race Street Inn does, haven't been there in years) Add Neons to that list. EDIT: Neon's to Neons.

There is no, "other" game board bar in OTR. Nor in Cincinnati really, this is pretty much the first full fledged dedicated game board parlor that I've come across here in Cincinnati/NKY There most definitely are "other" board game bars in OTR. Halfcut and Moerlein Malt House have been offering extensive board game collections with significant followings and regular crowds for years. The fact that The Rook is presenting themselves as a 'dedicated board game bar' doesn't make them the first.

Holy smokes that promo video is well done for such a new small business. I would have expected it to be a little bit more celebratory in tone as opposed to such melodrama, though, considering how many other bars in the neighborhood already offer the board game experience. I'd assume the hardcore board game fans who would be most likely to respond to this ultra-nostalgic tone would've found their favorite OTR spot years ago. EDIT: Realized my original wording was confusing - clarifying that board game enthusiasts probably already have a favorite OTR board game bar.

God bless you for brainstorming alternate names but I'm not sure if TBX-OTR is the one :-P.

The flare-ups usually regard the cruelty of horse-drawn carriages operating on busy city streets, not where the animals are housed.
