8 floors.

I'll prolly go to.. or if I don't attend the tour, I'll probably meet for dinner or something. Perhaps folks would like to come over and have some beers on the roof later on?

I'd go... if I wasn't at work.

I'm been there myself, so I know how you feel. It's all worth it in the end. Strangely, they let us (well, made us actually) move in while the building was still under construction (heck, it's *still* under construction). They issued temporary occupancy permits. Perhaps your building is configured in a different method that doesn't allow that to be done safely? Monte - typically the developer takes a percentage as a downpayment,and/or a reservation fee that goes towards the cost of the condo. I imagine the situation at the McAlpin is similar... but I could be wrong (I've been wrong before, believe it or not).

What, no one likes seeing the inside of my nose?

Awesome news on the relocation of the Drop Inn center. Getting it away from Washington park can only be a good thing.

Maybe we should change the topic to 'Is Over-the-Rhine as awesome as we hope?'?

Hi, I'm Mr. M.G., downtown yuppie! Just pimpin in mah crib yo. *shudders*

Already had one, but I can do another :).

I don't *own* the roof, I, along with the rest of the building, just have access. My windows have a direct view of the building next door :(. Folks, the penthouse unit is still available at about 800k, I believe. The views are similar :).

Very nice. Thank you.

Nerds. What does this have to do with Bloomingdales? Wait, I don't even care about Blooimingdales. Wait, why am I even in this thread. Please disregard.

My first thought was "WOW, that is an amazingly high pile of rubble to the right!". Then I realized it was just a ledge...

What camera models/lenses do you both use, if you don't mind my asking?

Yea, he was way too positive there for awhile. When does Graeters open? I need some ice cream.

After all the people I thought were straight and turned out gay, you are the first to go the opposite way. Seriously? Interesting. Well, I'm not gay - not that there's anything wrong with that :). Hm. I think I'm off topic. ... Traders World!

Natalie Portman = Crazy Delicious. I guess the movie is probably okay too.

I know Nick, I like Nick, he's a good guy. He also can be a little bit of a downer :). He's put a lot of his own time and effort into the neighborhood, and he's just not seeing the returns. I can see where that would be frustrating. Having lived downtown and in OTR, I know where he's coming from. Enough talking, more doing.

Well, that's not our datacenter, though ours isn't that bad. The only way to get something like they have is to outfit the whole thing with racks on the outset, and not build piecemeal like most folks. That's usually not practical. We find a rack we like better every couple of years :). Yea, Hamilton is pretty much out of the running, sorry :). I know they are looking for a location inside the 275 loop. My input is minimal, but I'm hoping to sway them to place it close, or in downtown for my own selfish reasons...

Me too! Anyway, why do you need high cielings? (Just wondering ;) I work where I was born :) At a datacenter, you typically want a raised floor for wiring and so forth. We're hoping to be able to have about 2 feet of clearance or so under the floor. Couple that with the fact that there are equipment racks that need a certain clearance from the ceiling, and the need for cable trays, etc, hanging from the ceiling means you need some space. See example (this looks similar to what we have now):

Thanks David.

I work for a large local hospital here in Cincinnati. Our lease runs out pretty soon for our Datacenter space. We're currently located at the old Bethesda hospital location on Reading Rd. Any ideas where to look? I'm hoping to point management to a reasonable place in or around downtown... we're looking for about 10,000 sq ft minimum (all on one floor, squarish, high ceilings, etc).

If nothing else, I think they hired the right guy...
