Did Jim Jarmusch direct this gem ?

PBS has a great documentary on the subject. Its available free on YouTube. I suggest checking it out. The lengths that the French are going to for the restoration is simply next lever. They are aiming for a summer 24 completion to showcase their masterpiece in time for the summer Olympics.

Is it just me or are or are others very concerned that if this deal goes thru and we end up selling the RR that a large portion of the sale will be used to fund renovations at Paycor Stadium, GABP, and potentially a new sports arena ? Its certainly not out of the question. I could see someone citing "recreation facilities" as being applicable. "The money can only be used on “the rehabilitation, modernization or replacement of existing streets, bridges, municipal buildings, parks and green spaces, site improvements, recreation facilities, improvements for parking purposes, and any other public facilities owned by Cincinnati.."

I think its pretty telling when Louisville fans are mostly OK with him moving on. Bearcat fans are mostly just confused about the hire. Seems very MEHH... Its very hard to move on from Fickell. He did the University and city so well. The University did allocate a very large sum for assistants/ coordinators/ and position coaches. Lets hope we can bring in some top assistants.

Does anyone have any updates on the large lots on Cherry Street and Hoffner ? At one point they were supposed to be developed by PLK. These spots seemed to be left out of the conversation when all focus turned to the triangle lot on Vandalia. These seems like great spots for some infill.

Yeah, that was the website that got me addicted to urbanism and helped me realized how well off Cincinnati is in terms of historic amenities and form. I just kinda assumed all the guys working on the site got super busy with careers and started have families. Its hard to keep up such an endeavor, especially one that really didnt pay all that much.

The Mississippi River museum is pretty interesting and large. It took the better part of an afternoon to check it all out.

Dubuque is well worth a visit. Especially If you have time to squeeze in Galena too. They were claiming to have more millionaires per capita than any other city in America at one point in time. I didnt check out their claims, but I do remember that tid bit of info. Also,

I am surprised. I was not expecting as nice looking buildings as you captured. Are you ever going to share pix with people in them?

Always enjoy visiting Milwaukee. Thanks for sharing a great set of photos.

This is hilarious. Sadly so true.

I really don't understand the Night Club idea. Does this open just for the game and immediately afterwards or is this trying to carve out clubbing space on Friday and Saturday nights when there is no football?

One of the best photo threads on the forum to showcase residential architecture. Thanks for sharing with us. Wheeling is just waiting for some substantial revitalization.

I take a lot of visitors around our city. We go from Over The Rhine down to the riverfront. Since the remodel, and the lack of a cut through on Walnut, visiting the square has kinda fell off my tour. I still talk about the fountain and its story from across the street.

The 5/3rd rebranding on Fountain Square is WAY to heavy handed. 5/3 logo is everywhere. Its distracting and takes away from the civic space experience. I find it off putting and have actually been avoiding FS because it a bit.
