Rumors of Deion Sanders in Clifton last night..... Hmm....

So the guys who bought Jackson, Clyffside, & Felsenbrau breweries bought all these properties?

Doesn't Zada own Heberle on Freeman as well? Sure would be double nice if the Port picked that one up too.

They sure have the exterior of the building looking good these days https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1173425,-84.529198,3a,72.6y,224h,108.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOiyHa-XWC1SQS5RXBHf29g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e4?hl=en

I believe they are the Callery Pear/Cleveland Pear/Bradford Pear. If so in recent years, Ohio DNR has classified these trees as invasive. See page 72 of this pdf https://ohiodnr.gov/static/documents/wildlife/backyard-wildlife/Pub 5509 Trees of Ohio Field Guide.pdf

PLUG is another one that has taken off

This project is moving full steam ahead. They have brought the elevation of this property down to street level. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1882655,-84.6542949,3a,75y,22.88h,94.39t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s7ygZ8aCj1gVp_0l8oi-FeA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D7ygZ8aCj1gVp_0l8oi-FeA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D296.2085%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en Most of the dirt has been dumped at a property next to the newer Dent Kroger. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1764849,-84.6441073,3a,63.3y,46.98h,87.72t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1svIM28a5V8Pb4XDuV00CEnw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DvIM28a5V8Pb4XDuV00CEnw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D322.11258%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en

I noticed on my last visit that the Western Hills Plaza addition is pretty much now built and ready for the retailers to start interior build outs. Found this newer rendering that I hadn't yet seen.

Keep in mind, still alot of people working from home. How many more who had gone back to work pivoted and stayed home to work? I imagine thier is a large portion of the population here that is able to remote in at moments notice due to Covid or random perils such as this incident. I agree traffic wasn't as bad as I expected. Hell, traffic has been worse the past 4-5 months when 75 was down to two lanes each direction as opposed to being shutdown altogether.

^Pay closer attention to the next semi you find yourself next to on the interstate. Unfortunately, I drive these routes daily. I can't even keep count on a daily basis the amount of times I am cut off by an erratically driven semi or one passes me in the next lane while I'm cruising 75 to 80 mph. The bulk of semi drivers we get at my work are usually Eastern European or Middle Eastern decent who do not speak English. While I'm not one who goes around saying you need to speak English to move or live here, I'd prefer the truck drivers in this country who traverse our roads driving an 80,000+ lbs projectile at very least be able to read our road signs.

^Even more of a reason we (powers that be) should be pushing those options.

This region truly needs 3 additional new bridges aside from the BS replacement span. A Westside connection near the ferry, Race/Madison connection, and Eastside connection near Columbia/Dayton KY would be super helpful at this moment in time.

I would hope since they constructed the sky walk into Omni through a giant 2nd story window that they restore the original window frame opening as a window.

How you like it today? ?

I love that original facade!!

You can see it on Central Ave and 5th looking North from the Convention Center pretty clearly. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1002568,-84.5193435,3a,68.8y,14.46h,97.93t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBuu72-LodJYRC5esp5qVkQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en

Iv'e had some pretty good luck with SOXL for the past month.

^Probably Honey Locust. Elms and pin oaks are great once they get some size to them. https://www.pottstowntrees.org/H2-Best-street-trees.html

If it's these trees you speak of, it's a shame they used that type of tree in the first place. They appear to be Callery Pear trees (Bradford Pear). Aside from now being labeled an invasive tree by the state of Ohio, they are a very weak tree that does not stand up to high winds. From what most information sites conclude is they also don't usually live past 20 years. Hopefully when the time comes they will use a more native tree to our region. I believe even Home Depot and Lowes must cease selling these in Ohio by 2023. The edges of our interstates are littered with these trees which are taking over even the other invasive honeysuckle territories. https://goo.gl/maps/VmGvTWVWbp2Jd8cZ7 https://www.citylab.com/environment/2019/07/bradford-callery-pear-trees-invasive-species-forests/593044/
