No, I bought a shirt there that has the official streetcar logo with the appropriate colors. I got it at the store on Main. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've bought a few things from them. They were really nice people. I'm wondering what the "white people" said to them that was racially charged. I think their shop would have done much better if it was on Vine or Main. It was always empty whenever I went in.

Seriously the color thing is dead. Let's be more upset that our streetcar will be like NASCAR Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At first I thought your graphic was something you made up as an extreme version of what the ads will be and then I read that was the actual design. My heart sank after that. This will take something very classy and make it look like trash.

Jake, don't take any guff from these swine. Asking if he hates everything in life isn't fair and you've clearly never met him. It's quite the opposite. He cares too much about things in this city and wants them to be the best they can be. He may be jaded about some things, but "hating everything in life" certainly is not what's going on.

Everyone will continue to call it the Streetcar. But, if branding brings us some future funding for expanding our transit, I'll call it whatever they want. I'll miss the colors though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kroger handing out false hope, Western and Southern handing out demolition permits, Macy's giving pink slips... But seriously, P&G and hand sanitizer sounds to be the winner here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hope the streetcar plows through every suburbanite who is driving illegally. We should install a cattle catcher for this purpose Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In regards to the frequency, I'm sitting at the 6th and Main stop right now (~6:50-7:35 on a Weds) and it's so far erratic. The first train went by and then there wasn't another until ~27 mins later. I started the clock again and the 3rd train arrived 3.5 mins later. Then the 4th train arrived 8.5 mins later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a power surge last night in the 4th street area. Shut off the street lights and shut off the AC to my building on 4th and Race. This wasn't streetcar related was it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to thanks to our hosts today! Was great seeing the house and meeting everyone. We should try to hang out more often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I absolutely agree. I never understood why the thing has to be named. It's our streetcar system and as it expands it will get line designations.

I have heard talk of an urban Target on 4th St next to the Gidding-Jenny building. Not sure if anything will come of that.

I'm going to try to stop in as well!

I don't see why this streetcar would have an "end of the line, everyone get off" point. It's a loop, so I suspect if you've paid you can ride it as long as you'd like. Does anyone know any examples of an urban circulator where passengers are required to get off at some point? I just figured the whole thing is fair game for the whole loop.

I spoke to one of the guys working/co-owning this project. He said that the press release was NOT supposed to happen when it did. It was WAY ahead of them wanting anyone to know about this redevelopment. They are taking their time and do not want to rush anything. It's still happening, but we just knew about it way too soon.

Also, this may revive the idea in the heads of voters that FWW needs to be capped. I don't care what goes on top as long as it's not an ugly visible highway canyon.

The new location is between Elm and Walnut (likely not including those streets). The streetcar travels from Walnut to Main on 2nd, so it would not be interrupted.

There is construction occurring inside the corner retail area of the Mabley Place garage. The leasing sign is out of the window and it looks like there is a lot of activity on the inside. Has anyone heard what is going in here? I'll take a picture later and post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Too controversial until proven to be successful. Then they will be all over it.

Yeah, I feel that portion of Walnut Hills with all the empty grass lots is the part of Cincinnati that reminds me the most of Detroit.

Here's the 6th street market which had at least 2 levels it seems from the picture:

The Dean and Deluca in Georgetown is on the smaller end, but its not terrible to move around. A modern version could even have 1-3 floors to space things out a bit. Urban grocery stores don't need giant spaces to fit a huge Costco-sized shopping cart. They just need enough space to stock all of the essentials and then maybe some specialty items. I lived above an Amish Market in NY and it was small, but literally had everything I needed and it was not cramped. That Amish Market is only a fraction of the footprint of the Court Street parking area. They had hardware, cleaning supplies, dry goods, fresh meats, canned goods, etc, and even had pre-made food that could be picked up after work for a quick dinner or sandwiches that could be ordered from a counter. If all of that can fit into this Amish Market comfortably, it can most definitely been done at this location.
