There is that Goods on Main store...that literally reminds me of a junk shop. Also, if you look on commercial spaces available on Main Street it's quite a bit more vacant compared to other stretches of otr. Regardless, people who visit otr still primarily frequently Vine and occasionally Race because of the anchor known as Taft Ale House. Main Street is very quiet during the day, especially on the week days, which isn't necessarily a bad thing per say (though probably hurts a lot of smaller day time businesses and shops) but for whatever reason I feel Main Street doesn't attract nearly the same level of foot traffic that the resturaunt corridor on Vine Street does. Obviously Main Street has some great Businesses like Iris Book Cafe, Buzzed Bull Creamery, MOTR, The Woodward Theater, Platform Brewery, Pins, etc.. Maybe main Street needs a larger lineup of resturaunts and cafes? Point is, the level of foot traffic (unless it's a weekend night) is not nearly the same level compared to other stretches of otr..Adding more residents will surely help, but I think adding more resturaunts and cafes will perhaps generate more foot traffic in the long run.

20,000 square feet of office space though, plus 66 residential units, plus any of the handful of workers who will be part of the ground floor commercial developement..93 spaces doesn't seem nearly enough when you combine all of these elements..Also, the findlay parking lot is already near max capacity on most days. Model group is adding more and more Businesses/residential around findlay, but nothing in the way of parking. I just feel like until north of liberty is further cleaned up, it will be a tough sell to tell workers to park on Vine or Walnut in north of liberty...do we end up with a sticky situation of how do you continue stimulating investment without dedicated parking.

I wish Main Street managed to find a better footing with it's commercial business offerings. Obviously, Main Street is pretty successful as a bar hopping area but I would still love to see more resturaunts/cafes/speciality stores similar to Vine. As it stands it's basically a bunch of bars a few restaurants sprinkled in and alot of speciality stores that don't really have an identity and feel alot like flea market shops. I would love to see more day activity on Main similar to Vine, but I'm not sure what a realistic approach would be aside from adding more residents.

This could be a real game changer for north of liberty. This will probably be the largest new construction developement in North of liberty in many, many decades. I always that the Hamilton county FCC garage would go on that parking lot though? Is their another sizable parking lot that could fit a large garage structure that's adjacent to Findlay Market? Obviously there is the parking lot right behind Findlay Market, but I hope that if the garage goes there there will be mixed use aspects involved.

The original RFP https://choosecincy.com/event/1712logan-rfp/

The entire parking lot.

Urban Sites has been awarded 1712 Logan Street after the RFP the City issued this past spring. They plan on constructing a mixed use building on the current parking lot. Council will hold an emergency ordinance agenda to approve this transfer along with property tax exemptions associated with this transfer.

Im not in college anymore where I am being graded by my professor on spelling. This is the internet where people post memes of cats and make a million dollars taking half naked selfies on Instagram. Relax, this isn't our corporate office email chain.

I would hope it's a mixed use garage but I doubt it.

A little urban island. It's neat, but sort of a moot developement since most of that area around summit is highly unwalkable with very few dedicated pedestrian sidewalks.

Hamilton county commissioner was just quoted in the business journal how their goal and expectation is for a Findley market garage. Isnt hamilton county ultimately in control of the funds they promised FCC Cincinnati for the structured parking portion.

No it means that something is being presented and they are giving a letter of support towards the said presentation which I assume is in reference to Hamilton county presenting a parking garage in the Findley market area, which is what Hamilton County had set out to do initially.

Saw this OTR community council agenda and thought some of the items mentioned were interesting. Does anyone know what the planned business is for 1304 main Street? I believe those are the buildings adjacent to St Mary's that were previously boarded up, but has continuous work being done on them now. Also it looks like the FCC related Findley market adjacent parking garage is also moving ahead. I'm curious though, I always hear how a parking garage near Findley market will help elevate that area of OTR. I guess my question is, in what way?

Confirmed 3 injured 1 dead. https://www.wlwt.com/article/1-dead-3-injured-in-partial-building-collapse-downtown-cincinnati/29959216 Tragic. Not sure what will happen to this project now.

Coroner is on scene sounds like someone may have died. Tragic..I'm also guessing this project will be delayed for a very long period of time now.

Yikes how did this happen? Weather conditions seemed perfect today.

Didn't City council just approve the West end as a TIF district? Wouldn't this probably aid FCC in financing any of their mixed use plans for the FCC site?

Take up to 5 shots in 2 minutes...isnt the potentially illegal and the bar could be held liable and prosecuted in court if a person becomes drunk and commits a fatal dui?

Funny because one of the guys behind ghost baby was also part of club clau. I never went to clau but I have seen videos and I'm genuinely curious why it was so popular with the occasional celebs?

The new underground night club, ghost baby, has been dominating my Facebook. So many people talking about this club. I've never seen a club, let alone in otr, generate this much social media hype. I get it though, an undergroud night club is probably the most unique club setting you can get. You would normally find this in NYC or some other large city, not cincy.

https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2019/11/21/2019-was-a-year-of-additions-expansion-in-otr.html?iana=hpmvp_cinci_news_headline Another great year for OTR. 60 New Businesses, 400 new jobs created, and OTR Chamber moving to the renovated Columbia Building on Walnut

These are the cluster of buildings adjacent to saint Mary's correct? Will the rehab create commercial space on the ground floor?

Thanks. I'm glad this is moving forward. I'm hoping that the tenants they land are somewhat unique and different...I also hope that the plan isn't just to fill the space with a bunch of national chain resturaunts. It would be nice to get a comedy club/dinner show type of establishment. Something that doesn't really currently exist yet in the urban core.

Can you summarize?

Why do all the history books talk about how otr had a booming brewery industry and once of the most dense cities with bars, theaters and saloons on almost every block? Every book I read on otr history discussed how the area was defined by alcoholism and entertainment very early on in it's history?
