It's not the car/truck in most cases it is the tires. Based solely on how loud the mufflers were back when i lived by UC i bet the tires on most inexpensive student cars are as bald as i am. EDIT: I lived at the dead end part of Marshall at the crest of a hill and my winter entertainment was watching all the cars sliding in both directions. I remember a particularly bad ice storm where my brother and I went over to Straight St. and saw cars spin like tops the whole way down hitting parked cars left and right AFTER watching the car in front of them do the exact same thing.

It makes for longer hikes for those intending to take up pickforks and torches perhaps? That, or they are just looking for a cheap labor pool regardless what region it happens to be in.

Here is a suggestion for some of the walled up space in part of the base(from Margy Waller on Facebook) an immersive visual art gallery. Almost like an indoor blink with changing shows. If we had something like this I'd probably check out every one depending on how it is priced. https://www.artsjournal.com/brightride/2019/01/14/music-makes-art-magic-atelier-des-lumieres/

I wanted to start a "What does Carthage smell like" blog as i drove to and fro to Evendale for work. Some days it's Flintstones vitamins while others it is freezer burned green peppers.Other days it does have a fruity smell that would incriminate Segram's even though they have been gone for years. It changes slightly every day. I feel sorry for Carthage and the surrounding area. At least the rancid compost go awry smell is gone finally.

So many projects, and the MACY's building at Fountain Place is set to be Demo'ed! Cant say i will miss it as it seems way to busy and 90's looking for my taste. I wish something huge was set for there but at least what they are proposing is taller than the current building.

They should want to attract carfree people to OTR and downtown as they have a more captive set of residents and consumers. The streetcar makes this possible and is the reason some have moved there already. Taking it away puts more importance on having a car to do any errands and thus all the parking and price negatives of having a car in the city. They should pursue alternative plans to pay for it (if that is what they think the citizens even want) WAY before cutting any service. If they do cut service we should press them on EXACTLY how much money this even saves and is all of that savings going to the Streetcar debt/daily operations or is it going to be sucked away for other programs & sports teams never to be seen agai?

My dream to address some of the above is to find an eccentric benefactor to turn the Crosley building into Cincinnati's version of the St. Louis City Museum. Daytime for kids, night time for adults. Go big on one amazing thing then let it develop naturally from there but keeping the industrial vibe of the neighborhood. Cincinnati has historic, Cincinnati has the old money and affordable areas and fine grain architecture. Make the Camp area the opposite of that with big industrial factory lofts and business for makers and artists and try to keep the new developments within that vibe as much as possible.

Seeing this makes me wonder what the highest point i can drive my car to is in Cincinnati. I remember some great views from the Deaconess and Christ Hospital Garages. Just something odd about that render showing the cars well above the rooftops of the older Court St. Buildings.

I was also raised Catholic, so the sweeping unpleasantries of an arsonist priest under the rug angle is way more believable. Heck they may have even started the 'riot' story as cover.

I always heard it burned during the unrest in the late 60's riot's/unrest that swept avondale and other neighborhoods. The priest angle isnt something I've heard but then again i never looked deep into it. Would be interesting to find out what went down.

CVS Health Corporate? I was just looking thru the 100 list making assumptions but that would be quite ironic. I really do hope that such a company relocates here to an existing old building vs the big open lot next to the former Dennison though just for my own personal amusement.

Maybe it could tour different neighborhoods. Not sure it would do good everywhere, but imagine it at the top of any of the former inclines.

Answering the questions brought up by Shel Silverstein. In Nashville this trash can is Where the Sidewalk Ends. Maybe Oscar the grouch has a Nashville summer home?

Seems to me that it could be turned into a ground level platform for Clicklist parking while still having develop able land above to build an office or housing and still be done before the new Kroger is opened. Seems a waste to use such a desirable city location for one activity only. Sort of how that one person wanted to do a day care at the location of the old Izzy's building on Elm & 8th street. Drive in, load up and drive out, just with groceries instead of kiddies while a number of uses are going on overhead (and providing cash).

Other side, and utilizing the front half of the existing historic buildings located there. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2018/08/06/exclusive-boutique-hotel-planned-for-historic-main.html

Yes that is confusing, Im thinking it is some sort of indoor version of a kiln studio with classes surrounding a central work area.......that blends with the Riddle housing? Maybe it is a temporary space needs expansion and that is why it is pre-engineered metal?

Ohhhhhh! Thanks for the info. Look what I found googling that. A new sculpture studio on the corner it seems? http://bids.findrfp.com/xDocs/1cbe9507e6fc467397f6775b3e505c19_RFQ-UCN-19053A_DB_1.pdf

I swiped this link from Jake's post about the FCC stadium but before everything there gets redeveloped and even the streets disappear I wanted to share a weird fact about a house that used to be at John Street and Central. For those who have read Devil in the White City, this is where the infamous serial killer H.H Holmes briefly stayed on his run from the law and where he my have attempted to burn the body of one of his victims. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1142058,-84.5237588,172m/data=!3m1!1e3. https://www.cincinnatimagazine.com/citywiseblog/the-devil-in-the-queen-city/ Weird I know but i like these little links to bigger events. Much like all the history that came up about the State Theater recently. I had no idea such large acts played there and some within days of each other. Not much there now in comparison but that little block was quite alive in it's day

I wouldn't give the Linder's credit for these projects but that is just me. Way more factors in play plus they are only doing any of the FCC stuff because it benefits them financially. If soccer was a money losing proposition there would be no FCC. Id give any credit (on these new developments) to those who are risking money and all the taxpayers who are funding all the rebates and infrastructure. The stadium will be a cool addition I hope but it isn't the motivating factor in these recent projects. I'm sure they have been in the planning stages for quite a while.

It is going to be a Storage Facility with a (weirdly) attached residential looking caretakers house on it.

There was a rumor earlier in the year that a developer was collecting buildings around U.S. Chili for redevelopment and that the Chili building was the last one needed to have a large plot to bring in something new at that corner. Hopefully this isnt true as that is the last intact corner of the business district there, but maybe this proposal is set up to address that?

Haha, Im not sure but i will check. It looked pretty official and i didnt see any humor in the posts just the usual cringe inducing and pettiness I'm used to seeing. Boy the bar to getting a parody account of yourself sure has fallen. Pre send Edit. Yep I'm pretty sure it is the parody account Doh. I should have realized when all the pics were upsidedown but i work on computers all day and any type of a 'lack of technical knowledge' doesn't phase me anymore.

Figured you all would find this funny/sad. My twitter feed under the same name as here that only has three followers picked up a fourth today. Brian Shrive of COAST. I barely tweet but i do follow local reporters & council members and have liked one or two posts from people calling COAST out after their childish/hideously juvenile posts in the last few days. Looks like they have lots of time to search out and try to intimidate/data mine potential adversaries no matter how small. Must be a slow polo day in Indian Hill today.

That is wonderful, and they were probably the saviors of that building as it is really run down at the present and on a fairly good sized lot. I can imagine a staycation overnighting at the Swing House AirBnB and walking down there for breakfast.........then Camp Washington Chili for lunch......... https://www.google.com/maps/place/3128+Colerain+Ave,+Cincinnati,+OH+45225/@39.141143,-84.5386591,3a,75y,142.75h,92.69t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJVvwcMMc6o8faveVlSKbug!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x8841b468a9850a07:0xb119efa46d6e2ba9!8m2!3d39.1408922!4d-84.538433
