when they built the new part of DAAP, I thought the state said the cladding was too expensive for a college building. Then suddenly, 10 years later, it leaked? they re-did all the recladding to stop the leaks? Or, maybe they just got what they wanted in the first place. Driving by, it looks so close to what it was; I can't tell the difference. Sort of reminds me of the need to rework the leaky convention center. Water always wins.

That's a pretty good-looking building. and very good photography. nice job.

i count four unless they axed the one on the far right.

Indoor tracks are removable and seasonable. I was watching the NCAA indoor championships and noticed the building was a complex like UC is building. Indoor tracks have NASCAR-style curves, and it takes two laps to make a quarter mile, I believe. Here is a video of an indoor track. This one has bleachers on one side but not on the other

Does anyone know whether the new sports complex will be used for indoor track and field?

Those mices probably took a short cut thru the neighborhood straight to the EPA and have infested the entire brutalish campus. see attached link.

The Environmental Protection Agency is an independent agency of the United States government tasked with environmental protection matters. President Richard Nixon proposed the establishment of EPA on July 9, 1970; it began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order. Personally, I appreciate a clean environment. IMO we should just keep it around. i recently viewed some videos of India, Pakistan and a few other countries in that region. you can check them out on YouTube. Most people on UnbanOhio are old enough to have children. How about we keep the country clean for a little while longer? i don't know what the EPA does in particular but the Mill Creek project, asbestos cleanup, lead paint cleanup, and Ohio River cleanup are maybe a few projects that attempted to keep our planet a little cleaner. And while I'm on it, why not keep the Department of Education, too? if we teach something useful, like maybe... the earth isn't flat, and it is older than 6,000 years. maybe future generations will find a better to work with the environment. While I've got your ear, have you ever seen a chicken processing factory or cow processing factory? I think modern society has lost its way. When you turn people into "the other" exactly what do you call stunning a cow then hanging it by a hoove to be flayed, and cut into pieces.

neo-brutalism with a baguette ala Renault 5

print more money?

Maybe because it's a big box. and, with a little paint could be an IKEA.

well you probably know more about this than me. any insights or nuggets you can share.

i was referring to the Twin Towers at the Artistry and the second tower on the river in Bellevue. in my opinion, the "people" have maxed out their credit, the banks have maxed out their credit and the place where money is made has maxed out it's credit. the only one with money is sitting on a very smelly office chair in D.C.

when everyone lives in apartment blocks, the streets are narrowed, and no one can afford EVs, expensive sports like baseball will drift into obscurity. a kid only needs a ball for soccer and soccer already fills every game at FCC. Some how I still see everyone blaming Cranley.

another big problem is height restrictions.... the Banks is a perfect location for a major high-rise surrounded by other smaller high-rise apartments. we got 5 story generic apartment blocks that can be found in every neighborhood in the county and counties in KY, too. Remember the Twin Tower proposal at the Artistry, Adams Landing proposal, a 30-story apartment building that was voted down by people in Mt. Adams(!), the Twin Towers in Newport/Bellevue, the Ovation high rises, the Banks proposal itself, the Hump-Dumby Tower, and Fountain Square West Tower. And, #Lazarus counted 60 parking lots in the CBD that could be developed. Either there is a lack of need for housing or the banks' lack of interest in investing.

if the Reds and Bengals leave town, Cincinnati will need a new arena even more. after the two stadiums are razed the banks will become an even larger front yard for the city. I'm thinking pink flamingos.

so, you agree that it's a basement. nothing like a good foundation to build upon. So the brewery (I couldn't remember that word when I wrote the comment. sorry) was not the historic building. it was a brewery. thanks for the correction. that changes a lot. i was under the impression that the brewery was the historic building and I couldn't figure out why. I thought maybe you were referring to the basement. but, now that you mention it I do remember. that part of the hybrid building we called the Ballet. A few years back, I looked up that building to see what it looked like back in the day. it did have sort of an interesting facade. and, the photo I looked at showed it built up to CP. Was part of that building demolished to make room for another building? And, I even suggested that the new hotel could be designed to look like the brewery. This is why our government doesn't allow three people to get married. they make ugly children. In my opinion. Ugly. Those three buildings should have been razed years ago. As far as the second oldest synagogue (structure) is concerned. Who won second place the hundred-metre dash in the last olympics? .. and just by chance you know that, who won second in the women's heptathlon? Nobody cares about second place. buildings that house a group of people on Saturdays and then change so that another group could get together on Sundays, is a building. now if Moses rented the place to write the first books of the bible, and we had marble chips to prove it. I could see keeping it around. unfortunately, this is my answer. hope everything is cleared up now. Who Dey? Let's Build Some Highrises.!

the land that the FCC has bulldozed has a unique history in Cincinnati? i remember a pig outside of a building or two that should have never been married. Ask the Ballet Company what they think. i remember a lumber supply hardware store, a retread tire store, a few run-down buildings, and a big empty lot where there once was a beer factory. I never saw that historic building. Or, if I did see it historic was not the word I would have used. That land looked like Dresden in 1946. and now it is different. Historically speaking soccer/fotbol is the largest professional franchise on the planet. Some may like it some may not. but, I can imagine a completely new neighborhood of 4 story apartment buildings that look like what's happening in Oakley. In the last fifteen years, how many apartment buildings have looked the same save maybe color and "decorative" exterior panels? We are talking about a basement, not the catacombs of Rome, not Grotte de Lascaux, and not even Family Guy building on ancient burial grounds. Oh, the humanity.

here is a bit of development. Samuel Adams built a nice wall that hide their beer tanks and even painted a mural on it. the Findlay market area has added apartments, parking, and retail which will be completed soon. This development was on hold or dead for 10 years or so. Possible arena, continued development of Liberty, rework of Central Parkway, and new rec center. All these developments incentivize banks, developers, and homeowners to invest in the area.

If you're going to Zincinnati Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair If you're going to Cincinnati You're gonna meet some gentle stoned people there All across the nation Such a strange fungi-nation People in cellars There's a whole generation With an ecstatic explanation People in cellars With monumental stairs

i don't read letters, only numbers so i took the 42.

there is and old Hittight saying that goes something like this. before you tap your phone, look out the window.

looks great on google maps if it is the Belvedere

give me two weeks and i won't remember the way home. it's not like I cruise the streets of Mt. Adams or something. but, the last time I was in Mt. Adams it seemed like tons of houses had been reworked, rebuilt, or demoed and turned into multi-family units. i looked on Google Earth and the building that replaced (belvedere ?) is a nice addition to the area.

that's it. well, it was the 70s after all. obviously I dreamt up the columns etc. I think I saw the magical mystery tour there.

if I had to guess it would be Belvedere or Fuller. I think Belvedere, about half a block from Hatch. 1974? it was an art movie house and the building was razed years ago.
