Christian Moerlein to launch TV ads By John Eckberg • [email protected] • April 15, 2009 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090415/BIZ01/304150043 "A Journey in Every Bottle" is the theme of the first television commercial in two decades for the Christian Moerlein Brewing Co.’s Moerlein Lagers & Ales brand. Airing in May and June, the ad created by Cincinnati based production company Seven Seventy-Nine, Ltd. juxtaposes the beer’s 19th century heritage with its 21st century hand-crafted appeal, said Greg Hardman, President of Christian Moerlein Brewing Company. To celebrate, the German-American Citizens League of Greater Cincinnati will host a ceremonial keg tapping May 15 at Germania Park in Colerain Township with all the proceeds benefitting both the German-American Citizens League and Germania Society.

^I believe if it was any other year, they would! P&G and Kroger probably will eventually, but Macy's may hold out.

I don't think they are too far off. The steel cages are up to street level already and after those columns are poured, the decking should go pretty quickly. If the weather cooperates they might even beat that completion date of June. (Not that they would start building structures on it before then!)

Good Laaawwwwddddd!!!!!!

That isn't right!!

What? This could be an even bigger issue if that's how they are getting signatures! Maybe the media needs to be informed about this!!

I'd venture to say NONE!!

Cheviot Fieldhouse on landmark list http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090412/NEWS01/904130311/1055/NEWS By Cliff Radel [email protected] CHEVIOT - After months of delays, the Cheviot Fieldhouse officially appeared on Friday's list of 14 new additions to the National Register of Historic Places. The perfectly preserved 73-year-old art deco, home to countless basketball games, wedding receptions and dances, is the first structure to make the register in Cheviot's 191-year history.

^Hahhahaha!

3. Maybe Bourbon Street (That was years ago, and was on the second floor) 1. Your not thinking of Jillians, are you? They had a the Tower with different music on multiple floors. Edit: If it preceded the Waterfront, then I'm drawing a blank! Outside of that, I don't recall anything else in that part of Covington without going into Mainstrause Village

Protest targets controversial VOA center By Eileen Kelley [email protected] Protest Pictures - http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Avis=AB&Dato=20090408&Kategori=NEWS01&Lopenr=904080807&Ref=PH OVER-THE-RHINE - The hot-pink sandwich board dangled just inches above the ground. But the little girl, just 8, roared in a larger-than-life way as she led the pack up the hardscrabble streets in Over-the-Rhine letting neighbors - a halfway house - know they are no longer welcome here. "Hey, ho ho, the VOA has got to go," Ellen Walter bellowed. Her sandwich board read: "Help me stay safe." A group of about 75 strong joined Ellen. ... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090408/NEWS01/904090337/1055/NEWS

Rothenberg renovations in play http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090408/NEWS0102/904090326?GID=tuzOFTrgZWOt3plw2XKwpC0Vqg2l9gixAQzxKNVrmWY%3D But CPS budget, state funding stand in the way By Ben Fischer [email protected] CORRYVILLE - The Cincinnati school board appeared Wednesday to be leaning toward approving renovations to Over-the-Rhine's only traditional public elementary school, keeping a 2007 promise but also running the risk of busting the district construction budget. In a two-hour meeting, construction planners gave board members four options for a new version of Rothenberg Preparatory Academy, which has been in temporary space awaiting a plan for years. At the moment, officials believe renovations would cost $21 million, while a new school would cost $18 million.

Kinda need more info on what kind living you are really looking for. Do you want to live near one of the colleges? Here are some to get you started in and around the city center. http://downtowncincinnati.com/livinghere Downtown Testimonials - http://downtowncincinnati.com/testimonials Downtown Neighborhoods The various neighborhoods within downtown Cincinnati have something unique to offer their residents. Before you decide where you want to live downtown, it's a good idea to consider which neighborhood best matches your city style. From the quaint Lytle Park district to the center of town, you have your choice. Piatt Park - Perhaps one of the more densely populated residential neighborhoods downtown with living options ranging from the Lofts at Shillito Place to the Gramercy and Garfield Towers, you can wake up with a nice stroll through Piatt Park, the city's very first park, and grab a cup of coffee at Café de Paris. The nearby Court Street outdoor market sells fresh produce Tuesday through Friday each week. With the Main Library around the corner, the Shakespeare Company just off the park, and the shopping core within three blocks, you're among great neighbors. Lytle Park - This neighborhood rests in the more quiet part of downtown where some of the city's largest office buildings reside, as well as the treasured Taft Museum of Art. This mix of residential and business property is perfect for someone who loves downtown living, but likes to be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of the center of town. With Lytle Park at your front door and the riverfront parks within a short walk, any moment can be a relaxing one. If this sounds like the place for you, then check out renovations underway at The Edge condominiums or the apartments for rent at Lytle Tower or The Phelps. Fourth Street Historic District - If Lytle Park is for relaxing, then the Fourth Street Historic District is for keeping busy. This neighborhood is home to some of the most unique shopping and dining in downtown Cincinnati from small businesses such as Bromwell's and Koch Sporting Goods to downtown anchor Saks Fifth Avenue and four-star restaurant Jean Robert at Pigall's. Fourth & Plum Apartments and the Biltmore are among some of the earlier residential properties, while the recently renovated McAlpin condos and Parker Flats - currently under construction - represent newer options. Riverfront - The changing landscape of the riverfront will afford new luxury living options such as One River Plaza but is also home to one of the first high rise apartment buildings downtown, One Lytle Place. Attending a Reds or Bengals game is just steps from your door. With sweeping views of the river, the hills of Mt. Adams and the city skyline, what more could you want? St. Xavier Park - Just a few blocks east of Fountain Square is St. Xavier Park with some of the most impressive residential conversions - the Krippendorf-Dittman Shoe Building now the Sycamore Place lofts and the century old Power Building now the Renaissance Apartments. Silverglades Grocery offers residents in the neighborhood a great market, and Arnold's Bar & Grill serves up great food, live music and the oldest bar in the city. Greater Downtown - Several thousand people live adjacent the central business district in what is often referred to as greater downtown. From the well established Adams Landing and Betts Longworth neighborhoods to the up and coming Gateway Quarter in Over-the-Rhine and the newer Captain's Watch and Foster's Point town homes along Riverside Drive, the options are plentiful. And the center of town is a stone's throw away.

1. Waterfront (Gone) 3. Metropolis (Still there) 5. Dante's (Now Poppy's Tavern)

Ten bucks says Lawrenceburg gives Avondale a run for it's money!!!! .....that is if you wanted to include old Whiskey Town! Haha, ah Hoosiers!

Oy!! Interesting turn of events!

Got my tics for this game!!

Extremely Sad News!!!!

I know how some of you LOVE country music, but the words of this song tug deep and don't stray too far from the TRUTH of today! "

Very nice!!!!

Price Hill corner, senior housing planned This building has so much potential!!! http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=cincinnati&ie=UTF8&split=0&gl=us&ei=94LWSfy1DYudlAf4jNTcDA&ll=39.105694,-84.566134&spn=0.001263,0.003449&z=19&iwloc=addr&layer=c&cbll=39.105545,-84.566147&panoid=jOL5u-HJuqG2pysRfCVvNA&cbp=12,337.04016602488315,,0,-9.136858475894248

I've always heard it called Hamil-tucky. (And that's from most Hamilton residents that i know.) Haha, That's a first I've ever heard of a Bama reference to Hamilton.

You're totally right. Unfortunately, the loitering will have to be pushed toward almost zero to foster a mainstream investment market in a region like the Midwest. Agree with Jake & Civik! The continuous improvement is really starting to accelerate EXPENENTIALLY now and articles by our local media CAN ONLY HELP CHANGE THAT 2001 MENTALITY. Streetcars, SCPA, and all the 3CDC projects are helping tremendously! And all this in the middle of a recession/depression. Just imagine what things may be like if the economy starts to slowly tick upwards in the next year or two.

Parents get sold on OTR By Lisa Bernard-Kuhn • [email protected] • April 3, 2009 http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20090403/BIZ01/904030336 OVER-THE-RHINE - These days, Jonathan Wood's mother raves about her son's second-floor condo in Over-the-Rhine's growing Gateway Quarter. "It's just amazing seeing those hardwood floors, the brick walls - the design," says Ann Wood Schlesinger, an Anderson Township native. "They've taken what had been a fairly modest space and finished it to the hilt."

Didn't somebody say we are looking at the top floors of the elevator shaft? I guess they could hydraulically lift it up a floor in a day?
