maybe some of you will get your own fountain... what species again?

Maybe Central Parkway becomes a little more European with new apartment/business buildings set back from the street for outdoor dining, etc. Plus, Hammarabi Traffic Circle cleans up that horrible intersection. And, Cincinnatians from all species are celebrated like this Hammarabi Fountain.

what's that old saying, don't count your chickens before the rooster crows? something like that.

image falling water right here in Cincinnati, it's easy if you try...

Interesting. And I get that it's just an idea so I won't pile on. But those of us old enough to remember the old Burgundy's/Prime Time and how they used some creative architecture to have a garage at that end of the building will cringe at this idea. It was nasty. Edited yesterday at 05:01 PM by Rabbit Hash You see UC, that's why you hire an architect. let's talk about bad decisions that were made in the past. Cincy's newest skyscraper looks like the 1980s. Paul Brown chose a practice facility next to a toxic creek. Paul Brown Stadium demanded 3 facility fields beside the stadium. I think a pretty expensive mistake for developmentof downtown. FC Cincinnati practice facility is in Milford 15 miles away. the subway. removing all the street car tracks. Our governor not accepting the $37 million dollar federal money to extend the new street car to Clifton. I do remember that Prime Time place. It always reminded me of the tin roof and cardboard abodes that adore third world countries. What if the final product looked like the new Neuologoical Center at UC. Maybe it could have the ambiance of FL Wright's, Falling Walter. A natural looking water feature that cascaded and was illuminated at night. Of course this is just an idea. all glory to Polyeidus.

i have never liked the im pei? addition to the lourve but someone did

Looks like they are focusing on the Sheakley site and not the park area across the Vine/McMillan intersection. UC athletics in talks to build new indoor practice facility Owen Racer | Sports Editor Oct 12, 2021 just an idea. i thought building the new indoor practice facility at Vine, McMillan and Calhoun may solve a big ugly problem. It would float, if you will , above the drop off at those corners. by driving the pilings for the building and leaving the rock formation visible. Some clever architecture could pull this off i bet. it gets enough light to have grass and some sort of park theme. And, it would be intimidating when big 12 teams drove up vine. remember, just an idea.

here is the link to some great wall art. this will make people stand in awe. they will go inside and buy kroger only products. https://fb.watch/8uA7NQzGLd/

three funny mirrors like the ones you see at carnivals would make people happy and tie the streetscape

how about a ziggurat parking garage covered with solar panels. a creative architect could make this an icon.

Commuting by Public Transportation in the United States: 2019 APRIL 01, 2021 REPORT NUMBER ACS-48 MICHAEL BURROWS, CHARLYNN BURD, AND BRIAN MCKENZIE Introduction Download Commuting by Public Transportation in the United States: 2019 [PDF - <1.0 MB] Public transportation commuters constituted about 5 percent of all workers in the United States in 2019. Though public transportation was a relatively uncommon method of traveling to work in the United States as a whole, it played a prominent role in certain places. This report describes the status of public transportation commuting in the United States, beginning with the distribution of public transportation commuters across different transit modes, proceeding to summarize key geographic and demographic patterns, and concluding with a glimpse at historical trends in public transportation. Many families have 3 or 4 wage earners and that usually means 3 or 4 cars. some predict 10 billion people on earth by 2050. me thinks you are stuck with wide streets, traffic jams, lack of bike lanes, parking lots and garages for the foreseeable future.

maybe the reason policy makers don't seem to care has something to do with the location of cincinnati. the terrain is hilly, the streets are curvy not straight, the weather is probably a major factor. long winters (ice snow sleet slush) wet fall and spring and maybe even hot muggy summers. And, probably the biggest problem is bikes are light and easily stolen. If there are not plenty of lockable, surveilled and covered parking areas where bikers could air up, replace parts, pee, get a drink, etc. then interest will probably wane.

well christo does cloth and cincinnati does aluminum. maybe a cost savings who knows.

how about this

remember parking lots at fifth and race. both sides of the street for years.

turns out the tower (of babel) is a smelly fish tale. a church took money and delivered nothing... oh the horror.

well save it then. just keep tax dollars out of this silliness. old buildings do not become futurism, so that makes them historic. you do realize im stating my opinion. much like you stating your opinion. to me, calling this a piece of urban fabric is preposterous notion. the city changed the names of streets in the past. streets chris-cross one another and that makes them fabric. this mustard stain, this heavily deteriorated piece of fabric is, i suppose, privately owned by a church. if the church doesn't pay taxes then it is outside of the law. if its outside the law then public money should not be used for its rehabilitation. Is this building on several historic registries? is there a sign or something outside the building that calls it historic? has it won architectural awards? i'd be the first to admit i don't know. i'm a historic relic and would gladly call myself part of the urban fabric it someone gave me $500,000 for a rehab. i'd jump on that in a minute.

save all the church steeples you want, just not with public money. this particular tower seems to be just a talking point. a way to claim superiority over something you don't agree with. if a church wants to repair a tower then by all means raise the money and fix your tower. just not with tax dollars. there are lots of historic buildings all over the country. Due to this thing called "time", sooner or later everything will become historic and private companies all over ohio will want tax payers to save each particular pet structure. And, america doesn't need another church tower like it or not. Church towers were designed for one reason, that being "my wee wee is bigger than yours". Sunday comes around every week. 11am comes around the same time everyday. if your flock can't remember that the church needs their tithe then the sermons are a waste.

our government/our money is giving churches, corporations, and religious affiliated university's daily. it's not like america needs another church tower. if the church was a tourist attraction say like the national cathedral in d.c. maybe. but it's not. Once I built a railroad, made it run / Made it race against time," marking the end of prosperous times, and changing to a wistful mood. Each of the three main stanzas end in a direct appeal to the listener, "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" ... sooner or later the trickle is going to turn into a dry riverbed.

What if something like this became the next big thing to have in big cities. Aerial view of the Shanghai Astronomy Museum, the World’s largest astronomy museum, on July 11, 2021 in Shanghai, China. Photo by Xu Congjun/VCG via Getty Images. we would have a place to drop it at the banks. Restaurants, parking and all the amenities just waiting for something knew to see.

seems to me, the skies' the limit. per you the market is allowing that if you build more apartments they will be filled quickly. its a win win

in my opinion the ferris wheel looked more like a county fair than a tourist attraction. so, if a ferris wheel is built. make it 400 feet tall. One 800 ft. tall apartment/condo would be a nice addition and still leave plenty of space for all kinds of entertainment. I don't think another 5 story apt building would attract people to live there. And, if an extraordinary aquarium was located at the banks, meaning something special in looks and uniqueness... something like an extension of the zoo that educates just how important the river, clean water, climate change and understanding of ecosystems is it may come in handy around 2030

an OTR house in venice.

lot 24 could become a great spot for an aquarium. a very contemporary style (not a popcorn cotton candy attraction). Seems to me, people aren't flocking to the banks as a neighborhood, rather a destination. If it became a bigger destination maybe more people using the street cars.

looks a little like a sow's ear.
