Ah dang! That's my old block. I missed the detail about the church. The two buildings look identical except for ornament and material so I'll take this L with my dignity.

My guess is this building. I noticed it has been painted.

The existing building, of course, needs modified to allow for residential, but I do hope they keep the brutalist/post-modern concrete ornament. It's very unique.

Who can explain how the City Planning Department can get a boost so it can take on something like this?

I'm surprised I haven't missed a conversation about the survey that made it's round about the Central Parkway's redesign. On twitter, the general sentiment that this is somehting that the City Planning Department should be leading and not a private organization. I tend to agree though I do believe they have included some really great alternate futures for what Central Parkway could be.

Wholesale building demolition on these hospital complexes isn't really the modus operandi of large hospitals like this. I don't think I've been to many parts of the oldest building in my ventures into the hospital. If I did, it was more functionally obsolete than the rest of the hospital. I think once a new entry is on Dixmyth, that gives Good Samaritan/Tri-Health the flexibility to build whatever they want directly on Clifton Avenue. A large enough future addition would obscure the existing buildings, likely.

Comeback? We never left. -Circle Shaped Buildings

Apparently they are!

It seems like the building is going to have a pretty interesting connection to McMicken Hill on the south side. The third photo shows a raised plaza and a bridge. In the aerial view you can't see what is going on there, making me think they are working with a landscape designer to connect the building to the land in a significant way that isn't ready to be unveiled yet. Having had spent a lot of time crossing Clifton to get to DAAP, I wish that Clifton at Clifton Court and Joselin Ave and Probasco Street could get some much need street calming. Most of my near death experiences from grad school were me sprinting out of the building, down the hill, and across Clifton to catch the last 17 for the night, often in poor weather because I would ride my bike otherwise.

Not every building should be a duck. https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-quirky-endearing-tradition-duck-architecture

KZF is the Architect of Record of the LMN designed "Clifton Court Hall". I haven't seen these renderings posted here, but maybe I just missed it. https://kzf.com/portfolio/uc-clifton-court-hall/

Seems like they have at least a 24' drive in between the two buildings, so I think this idea would be possible.

Can anyone speak to why the NB and SB lane split exists in the first place for a non-native?

The whistleblower's identity is known. I wasn't aware that the whistleblower was an office holder or was running for an office.

Thanks for the statistics. Race only does not determine one's political ideology. What I was really trying to say was: if Georgia can go blue, then Ohio could too. Certainly another way to look at it and something I definitely think is true in more conservative politicians (whether Republican or Democrat). Not being from the region, I don't know how much Sykes is a household name. I did read that as Minority Leader she has nearly doubled the amount of bipartisan legislation passed by the State House. I think that's pretty admirable. Right now I am most interested in Emilia, Nan, and Amy. I think the swinging (politically) suburbs could be activated by any of the three of them up against a Nino type. I am a rose tinted glasses person. I didn't post this for validation or reality.

Emilia Sykes won the EMILY's List Rising Star award this past year. Past recipients include Stacey Abrams and Cincinnati Native Ayanna Pressley. I was just reading through her profile, because I don't know her well as a representative despite her being the minority house leader for the major party I tend to support. I am struck that her family has represented their district for generations. She must be incredibly and intricately connected to the issues facing her community. I'm interested in learning more about her: https://www.emilyslist.org/news/entry/emilys-list-names-ohio-house-minority-leader-emilia-sykes-its-2020-rising-s A couple thoughts: I don't feel like Ohio is too ideologically different from Georgia prior to the rise of Stacey Abrams. A successful Emilia Sykes campaign for Senate could have resounding impact on politics in the state. Ohio has never had a woman Senator. Only one party has ever run a woman candidate, the Democrats with Mary Boyle in 1996, I believe. Ohio has never had a BIPOC senator.

This situation and Ohioans' lack of interest in this scandal is appalling. I get it, there is a lot of bad sh*t going on in the world... but this is up there near the top... right?

I wonder how in depth into the story of the West End these murals would go. I'd personally like them to include the entire West End chapter of "Contested Ground", but that's just me.

Yeah, for real... I would be so stoked to have a new tiny kitchen like this after college and while I was serving in the AmeriCorps. Dismal are those who can't appreciate the housing ladder.

It looks even bigger in person. Is it going to tell me when the organic avocados are on sale?

A portion of the The Chong will be perpetually holding a 70% Off Everything Must Go sale. It's very appropriate. Peak historic preservation.

Hear me out: I would love if they saved ONE bay of the mid century update. This is the same thing that happened to the Shillito Building. If anyone else on UO sat through the same Jerry Larson History of Architecture lectures at DAAP that I did, then you would know that what we see on 7th Street and what we see on Shillito Place are the same building captured at two different moments in architectural style history. It's pretty cool to be able to witness architecture through that span of time.

Do they get the same treatment as Alabama Fishbar? Would be equitable for existing businesses to benefit from the restoration of their block. This is going to be an icon of the project. Two businesses here. Do they get the same deal Alabama Fishbar gets? This building has always struck me as delightfully odd. Anyone know the history? Was this a theater or a church?

Are there any site plans of this building? I have only seen renderings and elevations.
