  1. Even something along the lines of Clayton, MO. would be preferable to the mall. The stuff along the highway is already hinting at it.
  2. This doesn't bother me in the least, especially in Kenwood. If it gets bleak enough, something more times-appropriate (dense, walkable) will work there in an instant, and the area will be better for it. I'm hoping for it.
  3. wow, I didn't know that building had been razed. That's sad.| Would have made a great base for a taller structure, if not viable on its own.
  4. Freedom Pointe... Suburbs gonna suburbe.
  5. Helmut Jahn's office did that proposal for FSW. Cesar Pelli, who designed the Aronoff Center, designed Key tower. Easy enough to mix up...they both swam in that same soup at one time.
  6. Of course they have plans for it. A build doesn't necessarily have to piggyback on a demo, given that. I'm with you, though...but again, I don't like what they did with Great American tower, so I worry.
  7. I don't even see an entrance on vine? Yuck.
  8. okay, I'll upgrade it to a building off Fields-Ertel, but that's my final offer.
  9. Yes, nice is what a regional office on Reed Hartman should be. Cost efficient, but nice. An HQ building, and the tallest one in the city at that, should be...something more?
  10. Please please not a companion piece to Great American. The building, itself, looks like an oversized version of something you'd find along Reed Hartman highway, and the tiara on top does nothing to convince me that it's okay to do that downtown.
  11. This is Corporex we're talking about. The Ascent is the only halfway decent structure I've ever seen them build.
  12. This is not a good look, though. It looks like an Embassy Suites trying to disguise itself as giant houses.
  13. Holy crap. Looks like you'll be able to rent a streetlight @ 1:50. Also, That guy in the Gray shirt has been hanging out on that corner for far too long. Seriously, though, this is going to be pretty cool. I've already flown down to 75 on google maps to see how visible it will be from there.
  14. More than a little bit worried about what that means, by Western and Southern standards. Queen City Square is my least favorite downtown building.
  15. OTR (even though the comment was about the stadium) doesn't look like europe. It looks like 19th century big city america. If it did look like europe, I don't think that would be an argument for europeans traveling across the pond just to see it.
  16. I've visited a handful of european football stadiums, and I'd have to say that TQL stadium, as a stadium, isn't likely to have that effect. Also, Columbus doesn't use FC. They use SC.

  18. ha. that sits on the site of the old hosbrook motors. The mechanic for all my high school beaters.
  19. Chinedum Ndukwe Oh lord, he owns property in OTR?
  20. It doesn't hurt that Cincinnati is historically way ahead of the curve with the embrace of soccer. I remember a Sports Illustrated story in the 80s that talked about New York, Cincinnati, and St. Louis being the biggest soccer cities in the country (by a wide margin), simply because of youth soccer participation. This is something Cincinnati was destined for, and likely the reason St. Louis was squeezed in, almost under the radar.
