The team is saying WR Marvin Jones should be back for the Patriots game so that's HUGE.

I agree they look very good I told myself after the San Diego playoff lost and my heart being broken last season that I wouldn't buy tickets this year but I can't help myself I'm ALL IN!

I was wondering when they say New Scoreboard will that mean both or really just one?

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Bengals height restrictions does not effect the hotel project now in focus. The Bengals lease only covers the west side of development not the east side by GABP. If you recall they didn't need the bengals if GE wanted the office lot on the east side but rejected it because the floor plates would have had to be smaller with less space to work with but would have been a taller building.

New 21c Hotel (ranked one of best new hotels in the world), New Renaissance Hotel, New Dual Brand Hotel under construction, New Marriott Residence Inn hotel (ranked one of the best in the company), Hyatt Regency full renovation. Then we have The Banks Hotel, I was told by a buddy thats a manager that a Westin Renovation is in planning, Garfield Suites was recently purchased and will be renovated into a doubletree and we have the Red Cross sycamore hotel project. Then to finish The Cincinnatian is for sale and I'm sure will be renovated into a luxury brand everyone will know and one way or the other Cincinnati will address its Convention Center Hotel.So I think Cincinnati is far from lagging behind any city on the hotel front in terms of activity.

The Westin Cleveland was a renovation not a new property and the Convention Hilton is under construction and with about 600 rooms I wouldn't call it "massive". Many cities even mid size ones are building thousand room convention hotels so 600 is on the small side, even our lame old Millennium is almost 900 rooms. The rest you named are smaller projects nothing big but nice. If I had to bet I would say The Banks hotel will get done.

And I know nothing has been reported or concrete yet but I'm certain a new Convention Center Hotel/ Major Millennium Renovation is probably going to happen in the near future and will need city funding as well and with Cranley in office we are not getting both.

I kinda agree...... http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/16/city-no-subsidy-for-banks-hotel/15722779/

There are only a few Caesar Properties in the world, years back I was told they will only use the brand in terms of future expansion in major international destinations. Put simply Cincinnati, Cleveland and now with a new 400 million dollar Horseshoe Baltimore is not a correct fit for a Caesars which I have visited and command much higher tbl bets and so on. I think them changing that formula for Cleveland is unlikely but you never know. I'm just happy that Cleveland and Cincinnati didn't get stuck with the Lame Low end Harrahs Brand.

Haha

More about the crane that's putting up a crane suppose to be the tallest mobile. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2014/09/15/tallest-crane-us-goes-cincinnati-riverfront/15678657/

Channel 5 reporting some streets are closing for a few days due to crane install for GE building

Didn't take a picture but It's starting to look Pretty OK/GOOD!

The NFL is a JOKE, how ludicrous is it for them to cut him now only after the inside elevator video was released to the public. For a human male or female to be knocked unconscious it was obvious that he must have hit her really really hard. Shame on the NFL and for her to jump and marry him after getting whacked like that is CRAZY.

Question... Driving up elm street tonight I was a bit surprised to see the streetcar shelters themselves already installed. I feel like what's the point of having them go thru 2 years/winters/possible graffiti before it's even up and running? Im just saying shelters are easy and quick to put up and kinda a "finishing touch" on transit projects so why so early? (I'm OCD and just want everything to still be sparkly and new at launch :-).
