Nice find! Here is the source image from the Enquirer October 18, 1960 (Page 13 of 46)

add turtle lamps back please

Ha - they probably didn't bother to step outside to smoke then

Behind the Friedmans Furs pictured there still is an old clock from the era

Thanks for the insight to the reasoning. For sure it's important to always look both ways (and both pedestrians and drivers need to put down phones). 2 existing intersections like the proposed are 4th/Broadway and 3rd/Central Ave.

I'm curious to hear the arguments on how this would help but my first instinct (I live off off Race between 6th/7th) is that it would be more dangerous for pedestrian traffic as you have cars coming from multiple directions. Seems the city has given up on using any law enforcement to curb issues. The dirt bike dudes certainly didn't seem to care during last month's "traffic blitz"

It's hard to tell from the render but I walk through that parking lot quite a bit and Portman seems like it would be massive. I'm curious what the expected square footage would be.

originally the brick used to wrap it and hosted the name of the hotel. I recall it having a water reservoir there but was later removed

windows being removed from restaurant section as well

lobby windows being removed as well as the water reservoir support

cobblestoned elm!

auction was scheduled for friday july 29 - anyone know the results? https://rosewoodrg.com/properties/mixed-use/cincinnati/ohio-bankruptcy-sale/

my favorite line from the article "Ten percent of the apartments will be affordable, officials said."

anyone know what is going on with this building? can’t see in the photo but at night you can see some of the floors are gutted

it’s around the former annex area as well not pictured are the benches setup on 5th street side. would make a nice dog park

I live off of 600 block of Race and the only real impact personally was having to walk another block if I had to get over to west side of Fourth. If something was going on at the convention center and elm was shut down you would see confused people on the north side on finding the entrance. FB's (former Rusconis) is still shutdown I believe due to the noise

never knew Garfield Suites were formerly apartments. Looks like it didn't last long - from what I can tell 81 - 89ish?

at least one racquetball court

rip the annex

it’s a large one for sure. they are also installing a lift on the north side

Not sure if related but they did recently tear down the awning on the side facing 7th.

looks a bit fragile with the bottom removed 😬

I was wondering if they would keep the night deposit box but looks like it is gone. Cool building - nice to see it being used again
