Agree! This is great news! Let's get their name off of this thread too!

2010 key year for The Banks By Lisa Bernard-Kuhn • [email protected] • December 21, 2009 http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20091221/BIZ01/912220303/ By January, construction is expected to begin on the 300 apartments and 70,000 square feet of retail space that Carter and Dawson are building between Great American Ball Park and The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

^^Interesting! Does anyone know what is to happen with the Nat City building. I'm guessing it will have some vacancies. I assume PNC will not be occupying both that and their current building.

I've always viewed Carew to Rockefeller as well. I could care less who has the title of the tallest, I just want to see some sneaky sh!t like we saw with Empire/Chrysler. Secretly raising moorings/masts/antennas at night. It would make it more fun from a spectater POV and invite media to report on something that today's media has a hard time reporting on.....something positive! I don't find anything wrong with an ever changing skyline. Even Cincy's has evolved over the decades albeit slower than I would've like to seen.

Are they required by code to include for parking?

^What if they were to keep it affordable? Their seems to be an even stronger demand for 100 - 150k residencies (Maybe even something under 100k). IF anyone can pull that off, they will start selling em like crazy. I believe the desire for vertical living within the basin is going to be there well in the 21st. Not everyone needs 3200 sqft.

^Indeed!!! Haha, I like it!

They CAN beat Florida!!

That would be awesome! If only it were true! Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Maybe WS and Eagle will go back to the drawing board and build another tower where their other garage is just to the east of QCS. :wink:

Wow!

Roebling Bridge to darken Historic suspension bridge will close for 8 months in 2010 Monday By Brenna R. Kelly • [email protected] • December 4, 2009 http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20091204/NEWS0103/312040055/Roebling+Bridge+to+darken+Monday Hey Uncle Carl!! The committee needs to raise $300,000 for the lights before November 2010. It has already raised $150,000. The costs include $350,000 for new lighting and $100,000 for a 20-year maintenance fund.

^2010 will tell the real story! I've noticed many empty homes in and around Westwood and Cheviot filling up, and some of these new cars in the driveways have out of state plates. (Indiana and Florida mostly)

Very Nice!

Hopefully next year this time, they will have a new streetscape to decorate. The Warsaw Corridor needs all the help they can get! Residents and business shining the light on Price Hill business district http://rodeo.cincinnati.com/getlocal/gpstory.aspx?id=100188&sid=158270 Property owners in the Incline Business District and further west on the Glenway corridor have also joined in the decorating effort. Nearly 200 strands of lights will be hung–that’s approximately 10,000 solar-powered bulbs!

You know, this is going to be the ugliest medical building in the tri-state area! Are we building a hospital or another flea market? Tilt up construction.........yuck!!

Personally, I think somebody on this site could've done a better job with this! The skyline is kinda Bush League!!!! 'Beautiful Ohio' license plate on sale http://www.foxtoledo.com/dpp/news/local/ap-Columbus-Beautiful-Ohio-license-plate-on-sale-112309

Monday morning Quarterbacking/Engineering is always easy! I like the design and am thrilled with the final product up until this point so far! No matter how squatty, short, and obese it is!!

Police officers, firefighters could be laid off under new city budget plan By Jane Prendergast • [email protected] • November 23, 2009 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20091123/NEWS0108/311230077/City+could+lay+off+cops Since 2000, the city has eliminated more than 800 full-time equivalent jobs in departments other than public safety, where sworn jobs increased 1.7 percent during the same time period.

Well, now that was fun to watch!

^Nah Na, It will be good once the Banks start getting some lower rise buildings in front. Along with getting rid of that god forsaken Berlin wall on the river.

Behind The Scene Of The Tallest Building In Town http://www.local12.com/news/local/story/Behind-The-Scene-Of-The-Tallest-Building-In-Town/R1SJpwSxWUSpbd9QzkqqaQ.cspx The tiara will be lit by floodlights, designers going for the crown jewel in the Cincinnati skyline. That tiara top is going to weigh 400 tons. It's being made in Missouri and will be put together piece by piece here on site. How will it get to the top? Turner's not really sure... a big, big crane. No one has ever done this before. It will require some complicated engineering. Hopefully the Science/Discovery Channels guys get wind of this!! I'll be there for this event!!

Screw the Enquirer, I'm rocking to these guys for the rest of the day! Fans find few faults with Phish's Cincinnati concert Concert review http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20091121/ENT03/311210013/Fans+find+few+faults+with+Phish

Maybe they find some tenants when The Banks gets up and running. Might benefit from a streetcar too. Never know! They've always looked to be in ok condition.
