The whole state is suffering if King K didn't cut funding to schools.

Just change the place into a hospital.

Cincinnati Ranked Lowest-Cost Business Location Among Large U.S. Cities; Atlanta Close at Second: KPMG Study http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/prnewswire/press_releases/Maryland/2012/03/22/NY74574

Maybe they can gut the whole US bank Arena. Tear out the outer walls and extend it to install 5000-10000 more seats and box seats. That will be about 100 million. It's doable with today's engineering.

Why waste real estate in the CBD on a low to mid rise building? That would be better off at Keystone, but still in the city of Cincinnati. In the CBD it should be a minimal of 20 stories to maximize on space and density. Which would mean more tax dollars for the city.

No players? Why????

^It needs to be done. One uptick in the local economy will send it into gridlock.

Sigh! Gas went up $0.25 cents overnight. $4 a gallon in Cincinnati.

We beat more top 25 teams than any team in the country.

Well I found one of their papers that started the subscription already. http://www.tallahassee.com/ $9.95 a month.

It also takes a TON of land.

^Why blame Cincinnati police and not the criminal? The police can't be everywhere and see everything.

My take of it. They would have never came up with the 50k to complete the deal.

^lol That's not suburban.

^Kenton county can not afford it. It only has like 145k population. Unless the state kicks in 80% of the costs and that's not happening.

I think the county and city should focus on a larger convention center than an new arena. The Duke center is too small. They should have never settled for a 400,000 square foot convention center. They should have made it at least 1.5 million square feet. It would have drawn the larger conventions in the country. Let Butler Warren county build an arena along the county lines. I don't think they are tapped our on issuing bonds to build one. Hamilton county is too broke right now and are tapped out on issuing bonds.

Does the streetcar push Cincinnati up a notch in the tier or league of cities?

"Closing for the 2012 season." Does that mean it may reopen in 2013-2014?

^ Well oddly enough some of those metros are way up there and have very few F500 companies. Portland,Ore for example.

^ What's an unwanted visitors? Isn't there tons of bars in Mt Adams that the would love the extra business?

I didn't know Portland had a Tram. Something like that would be awesome from Downtown to Mt Adams.

And here I was thinking it was all about the food. lol
