Dunnhumby employees brainstormed and voted on the name Dunnhumby Centre. really? please tell that's all marketing.

I got a few the other day, I like this with people in view and some context.

Thanks Living in Gin thats kind of what I was trying to say. They failed because of politics not because they were bad ideas. At least not all Republicans are CAVE men, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, Republicans; we are on the verge of a new era for high-speed rail in this country, because the United States is a third world country when it comes to high-speed transportation.

I guess we need to define failed. The Riverfront Transit Center was build while there was a big whole there saving millions. I would call that vision. The subway was planned in the early teens stalled because of the the big war and then inflation set in so there wasn't enough money. The planning failed, it doesn't mean the subway was a bad idea. Wasn't the Union Terminal used for years? If you use this standard, man the list is endless of failures, People Purple Bridge = FAILURE.

Right across 4th St is a church, then the Taft Theater, across 5th is the P&G gardens. But if it is messing up views, thats how it goes, someone will just have to build a tower in front of them, or someone else.

I was in University Park Apartments today at UC and I could see the top of the building and the crane shooting up above the skyline, you could see it from floors 3 - 6.

Count me in for a blogger tour if you can get one, that would be incredible wouldn't it?

We have heavy blinds in the bedroom. Still not what one would call dark though. The place WAS lit up Friday night.

Bengals in New Orleans, but Paul Brown is lit up, and so is my condo

Dirty Sandpit, Cygnus Being sarcastic, doesn't translate at all. If we had a streetcar and light rail, they could have saved what $20 millionish on that parking deck?

GAA!!! COAST was rambling on about the unused train station across the street. No one uses it, so why would they use a subway? well?

The view from 2nd St as you come off the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge. This thing really is going to be a monster, what 35 floors to go? More pictures here.

I thought the generally accepted definition of a skyscraper was a building over 150 meters tall. If so, then QCSII is a skyscraper.

Actually what we should strive for is postmodern, that is architecture that is sensitive to and gives a nod to its surroundings, but I think thats what you meant.

You can't compare apples and oranges either, the Cincinnati developers are pretty conservative where as some of the skyscrapers in trouble were bought in boom times, heavily mortgaged and saddled with tons of debt, they never stood a chance when the economy went south.
