Congress Could Provide $25 Million For Banks POSTED: 4:47 pm EDT March 15, 2007 UPDATED: 4:58 pm EDT March 15, 2007 Email This Story | Print This Story Sign Up for Breaking News Alerts WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A House committee authorized $25 million Thursday to help fund the Banks riverfront development. The money is intended for construction of the stalled commercial and residential development, which is expected to cost about $600 million to complete. Full story text is available at http://www.wlwt.com/news/11263357/detail.html Is this the 25mil that was already being counted on or is this in addition to that money??

That comment was actually made by Cliff Peale the writer of the story. I'm not sure where he lives.

This store is supposed to be the hottest new thing in Japan. They just opened their first store in NYC and are looking to open more in other cities in the US. How about Cincinnati??? http://www.uniqlo.com/us/

It's a shame those issues aren't what is holding the project up. If they said they would pay for the parking garages to get the banks out of the flood plane then I think we could get excited. So all we can do is hope the city and county pony up the money for the garages!!!

That is 2.5 years of luxury condos (over 400k)..................they are looking for condo's around 200k-300k. Just seems like they don't know what they are doing to me!!

I hear people all the time complain. That is one reason they give for moving to the burbs.......so they can get that 3k sq ft house for the price of a 1.5k sq ft house in the city. What do people need with 3k sq ft??

If you hear people in Cincinnati start complaining about condo prices all you have to do is show them the following article: Schnitzer Northwest plans Eastlake condos Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle) - 11:36 AM PST Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Another Seattle condominium project has been announced: Schnitzer Northwest LLC said it will build the Equinox condos in the Eastlake neighborhood. The 204-unit, eight-story condo project is planned for the intersection of Eastlake Avenue East and Fairview Avenue East, between Lake Union and Interstate 5 near East Galer Street. ... Makes you happy that you live in Cincinnati, uh??

That's why you should contact the owner's in St. Louis and have them help you and you can learn everything they did!!

Why doesn't somebody contact the owners and talk about opening a joint venture in Cincy??

Isn't one of the ideas/results of a streetcar system, further neighborhood development??? I bet starting a streetcar system, even though the route will be contained to 1-3 neighborhoods, will bring about more economic development for the city than diving up the 37mil to the various neighborhoods. Shouldn't the focus be what will bring more total economic development to the CITY and not the individual neighborhoods??

This is a comment on the funding issue..........Can't the city use the 35 million it will get from the City of Blue Ash to fund the starter line?? Wouldn't it make since to use these proceeds for this purpose??

Can somebody explain the difference between a streetcar and a tram, if there is one?? Or are these interchangable words??

I don't know if anybody saw this but the condos in the above buildings were listed on Sibcy Cline as individual condos for around 89k-110k. Pretty good prices for a first time buyer!!! Today I looked and Sibcy Cline has each building listed for sale as an apartment building. Are these turing into apartments instead of condos?? I hope not!!! The pictures of the inside of the condos/apartments look really good btw!!

On my way downtown this morning I noticed the old Buskin Bakery on 8th St. had a new sign outside indicating that it was going to be a Mexican restaurant. Anybody know anything about this??

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.........you can rent out the CarewTower observaton deck?? How do you think Fountain Square would work with it being so open to the public??

Hey guys, I thought you guys maybe able to help me out with my question. I recently got engaged and my fiance and I want to have our reception at a unique to Cincinnati location. Do any of you know of any historic houses/buildings that can be rented for a night or a weekend?? I have already checked out the Cincinnati park system so if anybody knows any other places it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

But who's decision is it on the degree of the law that you should follow?? So you are saying that since the smoking ban is less harmfull than drug dealing then it is ok to be ignored??? I say a law is a law and it should be followed................ We can not pick and choose which laws to follow

Nick's argument as to why he is not complying with the law is very flawed. Especially for someone who dealt with everything he did in OTR. What he is basically saying is since the cops (State) is not enforcing a law he is not complying with it. Couldn't the drug dealers who were selling drugs on the streets close to his bar in OTR make the same argument?? The cops weren't enforcing the laws so they would sell drugs. Once the cops decide to enforce the laws then they would stop selling drugs?? Seems very contradictory to me!!

You have to have earned income to contribute to an IRA

Some good organizations could include: Cincinnati Sports League (www.gocsl.com) for athletics Give Back Cincinnati for more charity social settings and activities On YPCincy.com you can sign up for a newsletter that sends out a list of upcomming events Enjoy The Arts Start gives discounts for young professionals I'll post other organizations when if I think of more

I'm sorry Kendall but compared to otehr cities that is very cheap!! I don't know another big city where you could park in the middle of the city for 3 dollars after 6:00!! Good luck finding that!!!

I'm not familar with the Next development but did that one have a furnished model, slick website, and sales office before it was announced to the general public???

The lady from Edge Condo's sent me the price list as a PDF file. I'm not sure how to get the list on here..............can anybody help???

That's the correct building, riverviewer...........The website says it is suppossed to be 12 floors. I sent an email to the developers trying to get more info such as price points....
