Chicken or the egg. Hard to attract new Businesses/residential without parking. Findlay market has been struggling with parking for years and even more so lately and this has affected business/residential developement. Cutting off logan is less than ideal, but north of liberty, especially the area around Findlay needs a parking boost if we want to see continued investment.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/12/20/exclusive-4eg-partner-talks-keystone-closing-new.html?iana=hpmvp_cinci_news_headline 4EG is bringing a new bar concept to Court Street by Kroger. The location was not mentioned, but if I had to guess it probably is next to the recently renovated 3cdc cluster of buildings. I'm suspecting with the new liquor licenses issued for court street we will to start a small little entertainment strip that's equivelent to the banks/main Street.

Isn't that land being used by Urban Sites for a new mixed use office/residential project? It just received tax incentives by city council for the project.

Which lot is the ""north lot"?

Which lot will this go at Findlay?

Im sure the space will be occupied again rather quickly. Commercial spaces don't stay vacant rather long in hyde park. 10 years for a restaurant is a rather long time though and should be applauded for being around for that long regardless.

166 new residents is a pretty big win for Mt. Auburn. I wish Mt.Auburn had some type of business district row with shops and restaurants but I'm not sure if that will ever happen.

Their is alot of speculation.

So random observation but did the ghost sign change on the front facade, near the top? I know it used to say, "Metal Blast", but now it appears to say, "Jackson Brewery" in bold letters, with some more lettering underneath. I checked google maps for 2019 and it still said Metal Blast earlier this year..was the name change part of the rehab that the brewery was undergoing? Or did the heat of the flames peel back a new layer of ghost signs? I'm confused lol.

I know the owner is Fred Burger....any word on where he is standing with all of this? I know he was slowly renovating the Jackson so I imagine this was a major blow for him and his efforts.

Any word on when an assessment will be done on what can be stabilized? Is this something we will know within the next day or two? Or will this be a much longer process before we find out for certain?

Good points being raised.

What exactly are the challenges with the Jackson Brewery that makes it so difficult to rehab? I naively want to fantasize that a wealthy high profit brewery (mad tree, braxton, Sam Adams) would have the capital to invest in the Jackson and return it to it's Glory ...Hell, could someone like Rhinegeist ever want to enter the hard seltzer space and use the Jackson space as an annex off brand space (similar to Braxton and their brand Vive) to use as a production facility/hard seltzer tap room...

I'm glad that city administration seem to be in consensus that despite the devestating damage this is truly a piece of Cincinnati worth saving. Hopefully we learn more info in the coming days on how we can help support any type of stabilization efforts that are needed/required.

Is their any rough - eye ball estimate for much stabilization would cost? Could a GoFundMe be set up today by chance for the sake of time urgency? Will gladly donate and I know many others who will do the same to save this building from demo.

Will easily donate to a GoFundMe for emergency stabilization if the opportunity becomes available. We can't lose the Jackson. Way to valuable of an asset for otr to lose.

Brewery District organizers are saying on Twitter they have plans for Jackson after the fire. I guess they will see if the building can be stabilized, which I would have to presume it can be. But that's just me guessing from simply looking at the pictures.

From this morning It looks like it can still be salvaged no? I was expecting way worse.

https://www.wcpo.com/entertainment/local-a-e/covington-yard-food-hall-announces-restaurant-tenants-spring-opening This is pretty awesome for Covington and the tri state area in general. It just gives Cincinnati as a whole and extra layer of entertainment depth and things to do.

I was under the impression their was a side entrance off of republic.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/12/13/over-the-rhine-restaurant-closes.html Love the 3cdc spokesperson quote, "We hate to see a tenant close."....like dude you forced them to! Wtf?!

I almost wonder if any of the meat scent would linger down to the cellars? That could be a logical reason for the move if so. Ghost baby owners may have also wanted to have a ground floor bar, with signage facing Vine Street rather than being hidden away behind republic.

No clue. I imagine they will stay in otr, they are pretty ingrained with the business community and are part of the otr food tours.
