Sightly encouraging news. I have to say, I'm happy that Pastor is actually open to feedback.

With our current anti pedestrian, pro car administration I'll take this as a "win" regardless. Could it be improved? Hell yeah! But this is still considerably better than what we have currently with liberty street. I know it's settling, and we can and do better, but it is what it is unless we elect officials who give a damn about urban environments.

Sounds like these properties will take forever to reactivate. Ughhh.

https://amp.cincinnati.com/amp/3541469002 Hopefully 3cdc purchases the Emery. That said, it sounds like it will cost alot of money to rennovate the theater.

That would be a good spot for them. That said, I would they expand their hours since the Clifton location is only open till 4pm. A waffle house type of Hang Over Easy that has late night hours to cater to the bar crowd on weekends would be ideal.

This stretch is one of the few eye sores on main Street...plus the empty boarded up buildings give refuge for some elicit activity at night and the homeless to take refuge on the stoop.

Interesting. Wouldn't mind honestly to see the police station land redeveloped honestly.

I've noticed out in the suburbs of Mason/West Chester/Sharonville it's always in a old 80s era strip mall...which I'm also assuming means cheaper rent. It's funny, Mikey's Late Nite Slice actually looked at 3cdc owned buildings around south of liberty but 3cdc told them that they weren't looking for another pizza joint tenant. Yet 3cdc allowed Taglio to take over the old Lacheys spot. Go figure... Last point, OTR is so saturated with, "American" fusion food that I know a good amount of people who have stopped going to OTR all together because they are simply tired of the lack of diverse offerings. Zundo, Teak, and I guess Quan Hapa/Kaze are a decent selection of Asian offerings. But I still hope 3cdc and Urban Sites begin to heavily target ethnic cuisine tenants that offer Korean/Vietnamese/indonesian food as well. Also authentic Greek/Isreali food (Kinneret Cafe in Deer Park is amazing!!)/Ethiopian food is on my bucket list as well. I love the that otr is home to a handful of really successful resturaunt groups, but I can't help that their, "chains" doesn't differ all that much.

Does the cost of commercial rent have anything to do with that perhaps? I get the impression that leasing a store front in otr is pretty expensive nowadays and might be a deterrent for a lot of immigrant resturauntuers who are typically much more budget concious.

The great thing about northside is that it's not simply attracing empty nesters like most of otr/CBD is attracting, but rather attracting families with kids. I feel like it's so rare to see kids anywhere downtown but at Northside you have actual families living close to downtown again.

Teak is showing up on Google maps at 12th and Race OTR and the sign on the window says coming soon. Teak was a really popular resturaunt back in the day when it was at mt Adams and it will be great to see otr add Thai cusine to it's ever diverse portfolio.

Apperantly workers are continually going in and out of the Diner on Sycamore Street. Appears some type of work is being done...anyone have any inside scoop?

Like the song Bittersweet Symphony goes, "Your a slave to the money, then you die." I understand life is more complex about doing what you love versus providing food on the table. That said, if you never chase your dreams and just settle for the status quo you will lay on your death bed asking, "What if?"...and to me that's the worse kind of life to live. A life where you settled because it was the "safe" thing to do. Sure you live, make money and you die. But did you ever actually LIVE?

Im sure they will be. But will they be geuninely happy? Memento mori, remember you will die. Memento Vivrie, remember to live.

Yeah but their dream was to operate a restaurant. Life is somewhat pointless if you just follow the trail that makes you money instead of what genuinely makes you feel inspired and happy. Doesn't seem to me that they really wanted to solely be a chips company, but it's making them money so they gave up on their real dream.

I've had hen of the wood chips before. Average at best and expensive. I don't really see them sticking around that long tbh. Seems like they went the easy way out and thought that the chip business would be less effort and more profitable.

If you aren't in the Walnut hills area often than this video does a good job snapshot of what is happening Truly crazy to see this much level of new development and restoration in a neighborhood that was declining for so many years.

What ever happened to the boating dock that was supposed to be built on the banks?

I thought France was a wealthy country?

I have a bad feeling that the entire structure is a goner. Mark this down in history, April 15th, 2019. This will go down as one of the most historical day in human history.

I was under the impression that the fire isn't contained

Why rebuild? It will be mearly a fake copy that will never do justice. I say build a modern cathedral in it's place that honors the original cathedral.

Sad. Nothing is forever. All the beautiful archeticture humans have built will soon also one day be nothing more than dust. Good thing we have archives.

What exactly is the purpose of soil samples?

Roadtrippers team is adding a resturaunt/bar at their HQ at 131 E McMicken Ave. From what I understand it will be a Beer Garden plus resturaunt. Should be interesting how this does as it will be the first eating/drinking establishment not near Findley market in North of Liberty. It will also be interesting to see if the increased night activity will decrease the current shootings that have been zoned on that particular street.
