Progress photos of the new Filson Restaurant at the Banks.

Progress photos of the Black Music Hall of Fame Walk

Snapped a couple of photos of the demolition work today. Looks to be about 3/4 of the building demolished

Construction Update: Phase 1 of the new Woodburn development at the old Anthem site.

Construction update on the New Memorial Hall building. It's really starting to feel/look like a cheap duplicate of the new business school...

Agree, start it at Main and 12th and run it up to Liberty being pedestrian only on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Griewe Development was the last ones to call dibs on Lot 24, but covid hit and it went quiet quickly. No rumblings in my circles on the development of that block. Agree something needs to be done but seems like the steering committee isnt worried about it right now.

Delta to resume nonstop flights from Cincinnati to Paris in August After a few false starts, Delta Air Lines is preparing to resume nonstop flights to Paris from CVG Airport in two months. https://www.wcpo.com/money/local-business-news/delta-to-resume-nonstop-flights-from-cincinnati-to-paris-in-august I can attest that this time around my work trips in August to Europe haven't been cancelled yet flying the CVG to CDG route. Will be great to not have to fly to DTW, ATL or JFK to CDG and then elsewhere...

Grabbed a progress photo of the Kenton county jail conversion, to apartment tower. This has really made an impact visually near and far for the area. Also we need just a Covington, KY development page right?

Grabbed some progress shots, elevator towers wrapped up on building one, last photo you can see the Homewood Suites by Hilton finally rising from the parking garage podium.

I ended up staying here last week due to a very late flight into Cleveland. Woke up the next morning to have breakfast in the restaurant. The waitress said they were all told, the hotel was closing and they were losing there jobs. So looks like the Sheraton is coming down.

Lets just call it what it is Liberty and Elm is dead in the water and 3CDC better get involved to grease the proper wheels and pay off OTR adopt to shut the hell up. That corner of OTR is just sad and depressing I guess that is what OTR adopts wants in the city... Wish i could find out who is bank rolling them and expose them.

Based out of CVG I am biased because of our new facility, but our old situation was worse than CLE. However every once in awhile during a week of travel I have had to make a stop in CLE. So I have observed business and some leisure travelers on the car rental bus and the comments they make.

Would be alot nicer than the sad, bus terminal, and arduous ride to the forgotten offsite car rental facility. If and when i have to travel into CLE, its always interesting to hear peoples commentary about how sad and neglected the car rental facility is approaching and leaving.

Completing the acquisition of AK Steel and wrapping those revenue numbers together def. boosted this number.

Wish the city would do something with the Lazarus roller rink across the walkway from the tennis courts. Could be something better than letting Montgomery Inn put up an events tent 24/7 365

Covid killed that fad...

Yes I completely forgot about Panera closing, so even more sq. ft. I remember back in the day when Arby's use to be down in the general area too. I just think we could easily leverage Ohio based companies like Wendys, Charleys, Sbarro, White Castle to come downtown. Are these the sexiest chains? No probably not, but easier to convince a company to do something in there backyard then across the country. Also thunderdome has a couple of fast casual concepts that would work nicely too.

5/3 Real Estate need to clean, white box and subdivide the space up. Convince national chains to set up there one and only downtown location there. Get three or four national fast food or fast casual chains. That way you have an epi-center again for those who are back again working downtown to congregate for lunch.

Who knows, JetBlue just sweetened the offer to buy Spirit. Those two don't make sense at all, but I am not an airline executive...

Some family holding out for a bigger pay day.

Id hate to believe the rumors but there are some swirling around that the Lindners are trying to prevent this from happening so they can get there hotel off the ground first right next to the stadium.

As long as they dont put cute white picket fencing up like they did at the Dennison site. Hopefully Artworks can do something with the wall and it would be too barren for long. I don't have faith in the regional leadership at the moment to get this hotel up off the ground.

That's like the five red-eyes back to CVG almost daily, (LAX, LAS, SFO, SEA, PHX). Sucks but makes it nicer than a connection.

There was conversations of acquiring the Hillel House when they purchased the Tri-Delta house, my understanding is the two parties could never come to an agreement so the development was altered without taking the house. The issue now is the parking lot behind the Tri-Delta house is owned by the Hillel House and they are still in process of buying it.
