Eridony

Thanks for sharing! What reception did it get? Were there people out front protesting such high density?

Drove past again today and the sign now says "Sold Out" Thanks casey! It was no mistake that I chose that shot to post. Why do you think that?

Now that the Fireproof project is pretty much done I took some pictures. I like the detail work they did with this building.

I like how the Troy Block uses their Walk Score in their advertisement.

These types of developments are at nearly every major college. It's about time OSU get's with the times as far as our dorms and off campus offerings. Though I love that Ohio State is unique in and of itself I am much more impressed by places like Madison, Bloomington, Austin and Morgantown in their off-campus offerings. Ohio State is outdated compared to a lot of other university communities. The north campus area needs an overhaul and shot in the arm. I am very unimpressed with what Buckeye Real Estate did on Neil & Thompkins, but love the Norwich Flats development. I think this new building will end up looking pretty outdated itself in a couple of decades. I believe the original proposal was for a more interesting 5-story building. I don't think this 4-story proposal is bad, but it's not very exciting.

Why is this county censored?

I'd love that of course, but I'm pretty happy with 17-stories. One thing I don't want to see is them downsizing their plans. I hate when something spectacular is proposed and the end product is lackluster. Hopefully these projects will keep popping up in this area of downtown.

I just came over here to post this! A 17-story building sounds great. We are starting to see more height in these projects. I like the rendering too.

I got a new lens for my camera. I used Grandview Yard to test it out on Sunday.

The proposed changes were approved this morning.

No I didn't. I've also been told I need to go in the statehouse. So I'll hopefully knock those out next time.

Wow! Glad to learn about this, thanks!

If you saw my recent Carmel, IN thread you probably guessed that I visited Indianapolis as well. It was another first time for me. If you looked at the Carmel thread you probably noticed the nice sunny weather. Well a county south there was no sun. Indianapolis was pretty gloomy. Starting off on the east side is an old theater that operated from 1927 to 1992. A group is currently trying to renovate it into a performing arts theater.

Nice fire station there.

So I was driving through VV today and the sign for Aston Row said "Only 2 Units Left." That makes me hopeful the second row will happen soon.

A lot of work going on there now. Also you can see the View on 5th in the background.

Some pictures of these Indianapolis suburbs in September 2014. Carmel is north of Indianapolis in Hamilton County. It has seen explosive growth with a population of about 1,000 in 1950 to a population of nearly 80,000 in 2010 (and surely much higher today). They do seem to be attempting to develop beyond the endless subdivisions typically found in suburbs. There are plenty of those of course, but also some more urban style developments. These first few pictures are part of a mixed-use development called the Carmel City Center. The Palladium concert hall opened in 2011 Carmel Palladium by Eridony, on Flickr More of the Carmel City Center Carmel City Center by Eridony, on Flickr The Civic Theater that faces the Palladium Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre by Eridony, on Flickr Palladium Concert Hall by Eridony, on Flickr Now the next area is the Carmel Arts & Design District. It is the traditional downtown but the only old buildings (early to mid 20th century) take up a single block. Everything else on Main Street is new. They have also added a lot of sculptures, although I didn't really care for them.

For some reason... Carmel Bricks by Eridony, on Flickr Carmel Couture by Eridony, on Flickr The last set of Carmel photos is of a massive New Urbanism development called West Clay (or Westclay or WestClay). The entire development didn't start until 1999 but by now must have at least a thousand homes. The place was nice but also creepy. Some very nice house designs, none seemed to be duplicates. Garages in alleys not in front. Nice landscaping and parks. Still the place was too clean and on a beautiful Saturday afternoon almost no one was outside. It felt like an elaborate movie set. The West Clay development is broken down into different neighborhoods. The first few photos are in an area called West Village which is centered around St. Reagan Park.

There are 2 business district. The first one I saw was Uptown, which is made up of a pharmacy, two banks, and a lot of empty land. Still the pharmacy design isn't bad. Neo Deco by Eridony, on Flickr The next part of West Clay is a single family home section called Deerstyne. West Clay Tower House by Eridony, on Flickr West Clay - Deerstyne by Eridony, on Flickr Westclay Storm Sewer by Eridony, on Flickr Village of WestClay - Tradd Street by Eridony, on Flickr Finally the last section of West Clay I saw was the second business district called the Village Center Shoppes. This seemed to be the most successful business area but still there is a lot of empty space and the buildings are disconnected. Downtown West Clay by Eridony, on Flickr A nice park in the district called University Green. I have no idea why it is named that.

From Google Streetview I think this is the first new building in the district in the better part of a decade. Danny Boy Beer Works by Eridony, on Flickr WestClay Central Business District by Eridony, on Flickr Finally I will end with a few pictures of Zionsville. The Town of Zionsville is northwest of Indianapolis in Boone County. In 2010 it had a population of 14,127. It has a nice little downtown and unlike West Clay there were pedestrians.

How often does the river flood? Is it every few years or every couple of decades? I know I saw pictures on here of a major Cincinnati flood in the 90s.
