Hospital to transform West-Side health care By Cliff Peale • [email protected] • October 17, 2010 http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20101017/NEWS01/10180302/

Oh dreaming for sure, but I wouldn't bet against it. Sure they may not surpass QCS in height this next go around, but we have more than enough F500 companies in the region to pitch in on a good ol american skyscraper war at some point in our future. (Some of these companies are past due, Ahem 53) Not to mention the out of town businesses that Cincy will be able to attract once we put rails in the ground.

Perhaps W&S want to take air superiority from GAI. :) Can't let the competition have better and higher views than you!

W&S studies development Headquarters, condos, café considered for downtown http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20101021/BIZ/10220359/ Western & Southern Financial Group is considering plans for future development of at least three new buildings in the southeast section of downtown, including the possibility of a new headquarters, The Enquirer has learned.

Somewhat relevant since it's next door I'd assume. Hopefully the last parking garage to the east goes away!

Nice Show!! Welcome!

I agree! It's a blissful moment when you realize we are stuck with this and you can't do anything about it. I still say hold judgement til it's finished......Light it up!!!

Maybe they should tear it down and start over!!

^I learned that the hard way.......in the middle of the night on a panama city beach in '98! Great picture though!

Is it true that some insurance companies are pulling out of florida? I wonder how much higher home insurance premiums are compared to midwest rates.

^ Why waste him on a night where they forgot the bats on the plane?

^Haha, that's great! I got suckered on that one too!

Great idea for a thread!

^I like it !

Well Done!

^^^These individuals who are in controll of the property did not buy the property outright themselves. If an individual bought it, I would agree with you. Lady Nippert is 98 years old and left it to HER organization back when she was in a better state of mind. I'm sure her intentions were to use the 20 some odd acres of land as the park, not destroy one of the most historic structures left on the westside. How many houses can say, Ivory Soap was invented here? PG was born here, but unfortunately even the folks in the twin towers downtown don't recognize that. I was born and raised off of this company and I am ashamed that they haven't stepped in and try to offer a solution on the matter, considering everybody involved has sucked off the company teet to get to where they are today. They have been offered a buyout. What's the point of dragging this out?? Louise Nippert, whose late husband was Gamble's grandson, presides over Greenacres. Nippert, 98, has never attended any hearing about the Gamble house. Greenacres' executive vice president, Carter Randolph, and attorney C. Francis Barrett represent her interests. I'm going to have to quote and agree with two of my neighbors when I say " They're just being assholes, now!"

Winburn: City must take Gamble house By Cliff Radel • [email protected] • September 24, 2010 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100924/NEWS0108/9250332/Winburn-City-to-seize-Gamble-house-

^ Vacant lots? They have something around 21 acres that surround the home that they COULD use. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&cp=qhq3tb7yh6d0&scene=51568084&lvl=2&sty=b This outfit is a disgrace to the Nippert name, and I wouldn't want to be affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form!!! I'd prefer they keep their bags packed and march right back to Indian Hill. They sure as hell won't get any support from any westsiders I know. I don't care what they build or who it's for!!

Urban grocery planned at 7th and Main Posted by lbaverman September 21st, 2010, 5:58 pm http://cincinnati.com/blogs/developingnow/2010/09/21/urban-grocery-planned-at-7th-and-main/

Music Hall renovators outline 3 goals By Janelle Gelfand • [email protected] • September 20, 2010 http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20100920/ENT/9210344/ The entire front of the hall's first floor along Elm Street facing Washington Park, from the North Wing to the South Wing, will become public space - with amenities such as gallery space, shops, cafes, bars, a patron's lounge and box offices. Two new halls will be created in the North Wing to be used as rehearsal space and also as alternative performance halls, able to present experimental or small productions in a more intimate setting. Music Hall's myriad bricked-up windows will be reopened to restore the landmark as a brilliant beacon in the city. I am so on board with this one!

Yes, nevermind the permanent obsolescence of routing from Dixie Terminal to the Suspension Bridge. Turned a transit hub into an office mall, and a bridge into a tourist route. Give it time. Shortsightedness is a gift everybody possesses!!!
