Units in Riverpark Place now on the market Developers have started selling units in the new $200 million Riverpark Place. The new development is near downtown Louisville. Riverpark Place includes 621 housing units, apartments and condos. By a way of comparison, there were just 900 housing units in downtown Louisville in 1985; today that number has jumped to 1800. Also Online View this story The total is also expected to double within the next three years. Poe investments said in the first few days sales for the new development have been brisk with over $20 million in unit sales and $500,000 in marina slips sold. Riverpark Place includes 621 housing units, apartments and condos. Buyers have reportedly been both young and old, local and out-of-towners. Since the development is along the Ohio, adjustments have been made for rising water. http://www.whas11.com/topstories/st...k.bb3d7d88.html ----------------------------------------------------------------

Arena Authority officially backs LG&E site 03:40 PM EDT on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 It’s back to work today for the Louisville Arena Authority, and the major task ahead of it is to select the site location. Despite all the talk and the debate, that still has yet to be been done. The Arena Authority has been in limbo for the past couple months. They haven’t been holding any meetings because of the controversy over where to put the arena and the controversy over whether it should be funded down in Frankfort. Now that its been settled in Frankfort, they met at the Convention Center this morning and the Arena Authority voted fourteen to one to put the new arena at the LG&E waterfront site. The group, which will oversee the construction of the $350 million dollar arena, talked about some of the potential problems with that site, but there was no full-blown debate between the two sites, the Water Company and the LG&E site. Authority members agree that the more expensive and dynamic LG&E site on the river is the only logical choice for the arena. Has the site debate finally ended? “It’s over from the point of view from the Arena Authority…The legislature through Mr. [Larry] Clark was very key in saying the decision was the Authority’s and we made the decision today. So from my perspective it’s over,” says Jim Host, the Arena Authority Chairman. However, it was baseball great Yogi Berra who once said, “It ain’t over til it’s over.” That holds true because the Metro Council still has to approve the bonds for the arena sale. There has been some discussion from members on the Council that perhaps they need to take a closer look at the Water Company site in the heart of downtown. That talk could take place this afternoon at a Metro Council committee meeting at 5:00. Web story produced by K.

$75 million officially in place for an arena 04:46 PM EDT on Wednesday, April 12, 2006 LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- You could say it's go time for a new Louisville arena. A lot of action's been set into motion with $75 million of state money -- no longer in question. “I think it's successful… It's going on the waterfront and that's it.” Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher says essentially the play book is set now that lawmakers have approved $75 million for a new Louisville arena. Next, Louisville Metro Council will vote on issuing the bonds. Council President Kevin Kramer says that could happen as early as July. Jim Host, chairman of the Louisville Arena Authority, says the cost will be split three ways: 29 percent will come from the state, 29 percent from Metro government and 42 percent from the private sector -- millions of dollars from the sale of suites, signage and naming rights. Next Wednesday, the Louisville Arena Authority will meet. Chairman Host says the board could vote to officially choose the site. That same day, the board will also make a presentation to Metro Council's budget committee to get the ball rolling there. http://www.whas11.com/topstories/stories/WHAS11_TOP_ArenaAuthority.2ba7cf6e.html

the critisicm is the same as museum plazas.

wow, most of the complaints towards this building sound exactly like the people talking in opposition to Museum Plaza in Louisville....strange i found these on a website about fordham This building is absolutely ugly! It looks like a big drill bit pointed at the sky, or like one great lightning rod. I love Chicago with all my heart, but this building will be a disgrace to the city if it is built. http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/ShowBuilding/357.php

two weeks, two kids shot in on the West side of Louisville. Does Cincy have it this bad? last week 3-Year-Old Boy Recovering After Shooting, Police Looking For Suspects tonight. Girl is shot in Shawnee neighborhood The Courier-Journal A 12-year-old girl was wounded by gunfire Tuesday night in the Shawnee neighborhood. She was shot in the lower back while sitting on steps in front of a house in the 3900 block of River Park Drive just before 9 p.m., police said. EMS took her to Kosair-Children’s Hospital. She was conscious. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060411/NEWS01/60411075

I looked it up. Cincinnati police don't have records on their website further back than 3 years but I found 2 sites, one said 15 for that year (city-data.com) and another said 20 something. Both are really hard to believe and I don't understand why different sites would be inconsistent like that. Maybe they're hiding a lot of data to look like they're doing a better job? Is that possible? I guess it would hard to get away with that though. It seems to me that if a city suddenly sees their murder rate quadruple in a matter of a few years, they would launch a huge investigation to find out what caused the sudden influx of crime. What I find strange though, is if you look at the number of assaults each year, they are pretty consistent while everything else increases, especially murders. I never thought the 71 murders was that much anyway, compared to other cities. wow, thats damn near seattle status.

and they get even younger...sad 3-Year-Old Boy Recovering After Shooting, Police Looking For Suspects

Cable-stayed bridge crowd favorite for new Ohio River bridge 03:28 PM EST on Wednesday, March 22, 2006 JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- Two designs for “cable-stayed” bridges—spans that resemble suspension bridges—were among the crowd favorites for a new Ohio River bridge at a meeting showing off six designs. About 85 people showed up for Tuesday’s meeting to see designs for the new bridge, which will connect southwestern Indiana’s Jeffersonville and downtown Louisville, Ky., along Interstate 65.

congrads on the approval...

i like the construction picture.. the design isn't really all that unique. it looks like the building in Charlotte and a building in Atlanta

innovative

its amazing.

anyhow...i wish people could understand that this is supposed to be more than just a normal verticle skyscraper. This will be Louisville's Eiffel Tower. ITs not supposed to look like any other skyscraper, just like the Eiffel Tower doesn't look like any other structure...unless you count that counterfit thing in Vegas lol This will be the new trademark of Louisville, if not Kentucky

i thought i made the thread? seems like its been taken over somehow ;)

i didn't say i didn 't like it...i love it...i'm just saying don't ridicule people for signing up to show support for the building if you're not going to ridicule those who sign up to bash it.

I do^

well i didn't know that......delete the other name i don't give two cents lol i have aka drake in my profile

lol...its not like my mother named me drake, or necromantical... there freakin internet usernames lmao. i got a new user name so what?
