Well done! Thanks for these, keep them coming!

So the Crew will play FCC at Nippert on Wednesday June 14 @ 7pm

Can anyone with access possibly fill us in on this? Do they say Citi is looking to exit our region? Possible candidate for the riverfront on either side of the river?

Curious, which chain of parks are you referencing here?

Well, I guess this confirms that http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D08/Newsreleases/Pages/Dunnhumby-building-demo-prep-work-begins.aspx

I was told they had demo fencing around it by someone in casual conversation today. I certainly hope that's not the case.

Is 444 3rd St (Old Dunhumby HQ) slated to be demolished?

Here is a link to an article with some good pictures of the Bayonne Bridge project in New York/New Jersey. The Bayonne Bridge's New and Higher Road Deck http://www.enr.com/articles/41611-the-bayonne-bridges-new-and-higher-road-deck

Here are some images from construction of the St Croix Crossing connecting Stillwater MN to Houlton WI. The Minnesota DOT has done a great job updating the videos and information online for this project. This is just one of many that are out there.

It's really fascinating stuff. Stainless can be anywhere from 800x to 1500x more corrosive resistant than black bar. Epoxy coated rebar has been what most DOT's have used on large scale public works projects which on the lower end is only 65x more corrosive resistant than black bar. Most epoxy coated structures normally may have a design life of 50-60 years and that steel needs to be touched up on ends where it's cut. Epoxy is very easy to damage and if it is placed in the concrete damaged it renders that entire bar no better than just using plain black bar at that point because when one area is compromised to corrosion, eventually the entire bar goes much sooner than it would undamaged. Stainless is much more durable and harder to damage in the fabrication, shipping, and placing process. Plus, having 100+ design life I'd imagine that the steel may outlast even the concrete at that point. Stainless plays a huge role into the longevity of a structure in areas of the world where road salt or sea salt in the air are everyday factors. Cost has come way down in the past few years. I would imagine since it's now only a little more than double the cost of epoxy that we may start seeing more DOT's sign on. I've heard ODOT is building a stainless test bridge in Hamilton County. I believe stainless rebar ranges from $2.20 to $2.50 per lbs these days obviously depending on market fluctuations. A few years back when it came out it was around the $4 range. I think black bar may range is around .50 per lbs while epoxy is around .90 per lbs.

Within the past 7 years, the use of stainless steel rebar has been used increasingly in a number of new bridge construction projects throughout the country. One of only two North American fabricators is located right here in Evendale Ohio. http://cmcmmi.com/projects/ Bridges made with 2304 Stainless are 100+ year design life. Some North American projects under construction currently are: Bayonne Bridge in NewYork/New Jersey St Croix Crossing in Minnesota Dresbach Bridge in Minnesota Just a few of the State DOT's now using Stainless rebar in bridges: Minnesota New York New Jersey Vermont West Virginia Virginia North Carolina Iowa Wisconsin Illinois Colorado New Hampshire

Yes, two stories on the Naeher St side and one story facing Dayton St

Thanks guys! I'm on it!

So recently I purchased a home on Dayton St which includes this carriage house. According to neighbors this structure has been neglected for the past twenty years. It is my intention to do everything I can to try and save this IF it can be saved, but I'm not a masonry expert unfortunately. Can anyone recommend any reputable contractors that have done historic brick/masonry work within our area?

I'm closing on a Dayton St property in two weeks. I guess it's time to practice what I've been preaching! +1 for Cincy -1 for Green Twp

I personally liked the original square proposal. I think they need a little more than an additional triangle to accomplish the ultimate goal of adding businesses and street life. The property that the Town Square sits on has plenty of green space. The area around it needs buildings built out to the sidewalk with residential on the upper levels and businesses to fill those spaces. Other than a few notable structures near the Montana intersection, most of the buildings that line Harrison are very low density and not architecturally sacred by any means. If the new Subway on the other side of the Honda dealership is any indication, we got a long ways to go.

^Just a correction on the LA Fitness. Planet Fitness is the one building the new gym at the old Red Lobster property. Also, Footing steel is set to be delivered next week on the Harrison Green complex in Green Twp which will include a Greaters, Deweys, Tom & Chee, and a First Watch. The back side of this property will butt up next to the proposed bike trail.

Anyone know why or what was going on here? My fear has been that this particular brewery is a total loss at this point. I'm still holding out hope that somebody has some better news for me though.....
