I have a hard time seeing this actually happen. Police May Take Over Vacant Circuit City Building Last Update: 11:48 am http://www.local12.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=db2e33d5-df9f-43d0-8ce4-7f0e6ad88867 Police in Westwood May Move Into Store Left By Bankrupt Circuit City Circuit City has filed Chapter 11 and is closing its store on Glenway Avenue. The police station on Warsaw is old and outdated. People in Westwood see that as an opportunity for a new District Three police headquarters. Click on link for article.

Does anyone hold out any hope for Mich. Central with the incoming president and his strong rail promices?

^ Das true! Nice catch.

^^The Stratford of Kenwood. Retirement facility. 16ish stories.

Cheviot!!

Good stuff. That is an aggressive schedule. 2-3 years, up and running sounds good to me though.

Nice! My favorite Skyline!

Maybe the government can bail them out too! :evil:

Could you please explain why? I don't really know anything about the guy. He is spearheading the campaign to shut the Delta Queen down! I'm pretty bitter about that and will be for awhile. I know all about the union issues of this mess, and the only thing Mr. Oberstar has proved to me is that he is EASILY able to be swindled and lobbied by these azzclowns. Other than this issue, he might be a alright congressman, but he will never get any praise from me.

Minnesota Congressman Jim Oberstar I could do WITHOUT him! :x

Very foolish! Transfer of wealth to neighboring states, pure and simple. Until WE recognize this and mobilize something better than what HAS been offered, .......well this trend continues to suck money OUT OF OHIO.

From New Orleans media. Delta Queen's Final Trip Ends Tonight http://www.wdsu.com/news/17916417/detail.html POSTED: 8:07 am CST November 6, 2008 UPDATED: 10:35 am CST November 6, 2008 NEW ORLEANS -- The Delta Queen arrives in New Orleans at 6 p.m. tonight, ending 40 years as the only wooden passenger ship cruising the Mississippi River.

^That's true, I stand corrected!

Dayton does have some hidden treasures in her older hoods. What a mind blowing housing stock!!!!

EXCITING TIMES FOR RAIL!!

I'm looking at this change very optimistically for the city.

People will be forced to save money.

I think it will pass IF THEY LET US VOTE ON AN ISSUE that allows the 3 C's to each get one. This crap of putting it in the middle of the country is ridiculous. So is giving Cincy one and not C-land. It pits different regions of the state against each other in that regard. A couple years ago C-land was to get one while, Cincy was left out. Put an issue on the ballot which gives one each to the 3 C's (and maybe even Dayton, Akron, and Toledo too) and watch it PASS then.

Don't let the door hit in the azz on the way out!

Are we up to what, five different OTR threads now?

^Word!

Moment of Silence Please!!! http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=ac30fe8e-df80-45f7-97e1-7869f7ba9c67 Westside Landmark Demolished Today Web Produced By: Ian Preuth Email: [email protected] Contributor: Tasha Thomas Photographed By: Dwayne Slavey Last Update: 3:44 pm One of the Westside's most recognizable landmarks came tumbling down Monday. The Wagon Wheel Cafe's giant neon sign was a mainstay at the corner of Race and Bridgetown roads for many years. Built in 1859, the restaurant/bar closed in May. Officials say the space will eventually be used for a through-lane going north to ease traffic from Race Road to Glenway Avenue.

^Oooh, I like that idea of getting the rail row back. There would still be a Wal Mart in the way, but we could work on running them out too. :evil: edit: Huh, DDR is the owners http://www.ddr.com/site.php?center_id=166&state_path=ohio

Ok. IMO, with CC walking away from their current locale, this may shake things up (optomistically speaking) near that particular stretch of Glenway. Target will be gone by Spring which leaves two huge empty stores for the owners to deal with. Circuit City to close Westwood store http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2008/11/03/daily5.html Now, my personal dream would be to tear both stores down AND the Pep Boys and CREATE a more inviting WALKABLE, less asphalt development than the hacked up crap that exists today. (Anyone know who the owners are?????) Anyway the layout was not planned AT ALL and it shows. I am still hearing rumors of Biggs possibly being interested in what will be the old Target store, but nothing definite. Here is a aerial shot of the area. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=curcuit+city+45211&sll=39.168932,-84.567947&sspn=0.127497,0.219727&g=45211&ie=UTF8&t=h&layer=c&cbll=39.129603,-84.60671&panoid=Pgt_Q6Vdckg5kaX3JFKOrw&cbp=1,239.66085085378552,,0,6.11634293470873&ll=39.129736,-84.607848&spn=0.003029,0.006427&z=17

Circuit City to close Westwood store Business Courier of Cincinnati http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2008/11/03/daily5.html The struggling Circuit City consumer electronics chain will close 155 stores, including one in Cincinnati, it said Monday.
