Cincinnati might cost itself an MLS franchise in the near-term. This is frustrating to watch even from far away. Hope they get their act together. FCC has a terrific following

^Agreed

I, for one am the opposite of "meh" about this location. We seem to be gung-ho on health and well-being for inner-city residents, pushing sustainable food sources, attempting to end food deserts, and pushing for trails and bike lanes. Nonetheless, the moment a gym franchise that will cost a local resident $10/month it becomes somehow a negative. I'd posit that its merely the fact that its a national chain that's turning so many people off. A major part of holistic health is fitness - I cannot see how providing an affordable gym option to local residents is a bad thing.

^I love the Garfield Monument, looming

NuCLEus retail element will not be a success without more equity downtown.

*BUMP* I apologize for my ignorance, but to what section of Chagrin Ave is Chad referring to?

It's how most other countries in the world do it. They don't have our military industrial complex calling the shots though... Two takes on this: 1. You're right. 2. However, we are ill equipped at the moment for modern frontiers. For example, we have less "ice breaking" ships than China, Norway, Russia, Finland, Germany, Canada, and Denmark. As the earth continues to be warm, territory in the Arctic is going to be contentious, and we need to be ready. I think we could take care of both, cut reckless spending for ammunition that we already have stockpiled, for instance, and focus the spending on salaries and modernity.

Masonic Temple? It's looking for a new purpose. Not nearly large enough to shoot movies in. It's an old vaudeville style theater, approximately the same size as the Agora. The unused portions of the Ford Plant in Brook Park / Parma would be perfect

I am mutual friends of the people that own Leinkuehler near 45th and Detroit, and it's my understanding that they have not been approached about any buyouts. Though, this parcel is a little far down from the "ripe" area

^It is. Kertersz = MyPlace Homes

I apologize for my ignorance, but to what section of Chagrin Ave is Chad referring to?

Had a resident in his early 20s tell me that the lot for Church and State being left empty would be better for the neighborhood than it being developed. Mind you, this young man works at a retail boutique shop that opened BECAUSE of Hingetown's gentrification.

Never understood why so many NIMBYs in my neighborhood hate Kertesz.

Also, I wonder if they will utilize a crane

Would you consider soon to be before May?

^Do you believe that KJP[/member] . I live in Hingetown and walk past the site 3-4 times a week and have seen no movement.

If the former Max Hayes site can be used for a high density project, this area is going to be special.

St. Michael's was one of the schools that BECAME CC. It isn't CC though

... as long as Brickhaus doesn't buy it.

I think something theather related would be cool. Like "Stage Left" or something engineered by someone far more creative than I

No one would be okay with the Oakley site.

Also, I'm assuming no naming rights have been attributed yet? I can't see it breaking ground as "Playhouse Square Tower"

^Same. I've heard this thing has had its financing in order since the announcement

This tower and the Beacon will significantly change the volume of our skyline.
