Is Cincinnati on board?

Regent Square is about 2.5 - 3 miles from Carnegie Mellon and Pitt. It's not immediately in the "university area", but is a very easy bus ride away. I know a few grad students and university-related people that live there.

Hope the interview went well! If you end up taking the job... contact step2me and me for any information you might need!

ooo... I love Frampton... master of the talkbox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhFROOn_D7E

Any city would be happy to have a neighborhood like this.

Station Square getting new nightclub, eatery, office tenants Friday, February 01, 2008 By Mark Belko, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Changes are in the wind at Station Square, the South Side entertainment spot that will be adding a new nightclub, two new office tenants and another restaurant this year. The new nightclub will be called Zen and will be located in the Freight House Shops in space once occupied by the Palm Bar and Crawford Grill. It will be run by the owners of Privilege Ultralounge in the Strip District and is expected to open in the spring. More at http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08032/853922-53.stm

nothing's more beautiful than pre-dawn snow... thanks, Rob

That's a good point, Florida Guy. These Forbes rankings always seem to have misleading titles. Here's a national foreclosure map (wish it was bigger) http://www.theatlantic.com/images/issues/200801/win-map-large.jpg http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200801/home-foreclosure

nice to see Charlotte on a bad list for once

wow... the 80s were cool

The coming rust-belt recovery Manufacturing will play a surprise lead role in the turnaround of the resilient U.S. economy BARRIE MCKENNA From Saturday's Globe and Mail January 26, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST WASHINGTON — The natural state of an economy is to grow. We work more, we earn more, we spend more and we produce more. Occasionally, however, economies stall and go into recession. And, for a stretch, perhaps a few months, everything goes into retreat.

I basically just rotate through blueberry/cherry/raspberry I have always loved yoplait... but lately I've really been digging Brown Cow. http://www.browncowfarm.com/

Is that the Athens in Ohio?

that train looks like a luxurious ride

wow... that 80s arcade is incredibly offensive

very Wooster-esque

thanks mrnyc! :) my poor little fingers were never so cold though

nice Prague pics 6 degrees at sunrise

I think I'm gonna be sick... ughhhhh

I love the way restaurants and shops are sprinkled through the neighborhood

Lots of interesting architecture.

I lived about 10 miles from there for 14 months yet never once visited. I just never felt like making that detour off US30 between Wooster and Massillon. Looks like I missed out on an interesting collection of restaurants (Mrs. J's). With a name like Orrville, it's got to be good.

1 neighborhood, 4 municipalities, 3 school districts... the small neighborhood of Regent Square is the epitome of the Pittsburgh region's municipal hyper-fragmentation. The neighborhood straddles the southeastern edge of the City of Pittsburgh, just to the east of the 600 acre Frick Park (which seperates the neighborhood from Squirrel Hill to the west). Pittsburgh shares the neighborhood with three adjacent municipalities: Wilkinsburg, Edgewood and Swissvale. The Regent Square Civic Association defines the neighborhood as having about 2,000 residents with 1,100 of them in the City of Pittsburgh. Most of the housing is early 20th century... that early automobile age with the alleyways and the little garages in the back... very interesting variety of housing. Regent Square has a small but interesting business district, clay tennis courts, an indie movie theatre, excellent transit access to the universities and downtown, and easy access to the wooded trails of Frick Park.

January days are ephemeral Regent Square abounds with brick residential streets homes facing Frick Park a few houses in the Wilkinsburg section.. maybe some rare rowhouses in this neighborhood... err... "townhouses".. I imagine this must be a recently rehabbed block due to the many "sold" signs there's a good number of small early 20th century apartment buildings sprinkled throughout Regent Square there's a small but impressive business district along Braddock Ave. in the Swissvale section... Square Cafe is a popular brunch spot... the sidewalk is packed when the weather's nice D's Six Pack & Dogs is renowned for having thousands of beers in stock is that Lard Lad?? single screen indie movie theatre Legume is a delightful little bistro that features an ever-changing menu of local and seasonal produce and meats Fin!

here is PNC Bank's forecast of the Cincinnati Metro economy: Click the link... it has lots of neat graphs and charts https://www.pnc.com/webapp/unsec/Requester?resource=/wcm/resources/file/eb1100463ac2a8c/R_Cincinnati.pdf the summary: "The Cincinnati economy is vulnerable to net job losses through 2008 as both U.S. and global economic drivers cool down. The area has little forward momentum to resist the drag from slackening demand for consumer goods in the months ahead. While technology sales to the Middle East will continue to ride the wave of high priced oil, other global markets are vulnerable to cooler growth over the next year, including Japan and Europe. Job growth in the Cincinnati area will fall into negative territory in the months ahead with only limited gains in some service industries offset by widening losses in construction, manufacturing and finance. Cincinnati’s unemployment rate is expected to continue its upward track and income growth will be very weak in 2008 Housing markets will begin to recover by the end of 2008, but a robust turnaround in housing is very unlikely over the next few years. Longer term, the area faces serious demographic challenges that stem from weak job growth."
