Plans for Fountain Square redesign unveiled Dan Monk Courier Senior Staff Reporter The Tyler Davidson Fountain would move north and be flanked by three new groves of trees, under a conceptual design unveiled at Cincinnati's City Hall this morning. The changes would give Fountain Square a more park-like appearance, bring new focus to the fountain as the centerpiece of the square itself and enhance prospects for new retail and entertainment tenants in the blocks around the square, said Steve Leeper, executive director of the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC)

yeah i agree richncincy wcpo-tv should have put up a queen city square cam too.....

But also Mayday keep in mind that unlike those cities in the article cincinnati isnt building a massive expansion or a huge new center which was the first plan where the center would have been built over the expressway cincinnati is building a expansion that it can actually fill and keep its self competitive with cities its size. For just one example some sports experts say that cincinnati will host a mlb all star game in the next 7 years without a doubt thats what they say but anyway if cincinnati didnt expand its convention center it would not at all be elgible to make a bid becouse the host city has to have at least 175,000sqft of exibit space to have the "mlb all star party" so i think cincinnati is truelly justified for expanding its center unlike some cities. - But Mayday or anybody from cleveland on this forum do you think cleveland will break ground on a new convention center in the next 6 years becouse i think so.

i read the article and i agree with you Mayday

why is cleveland having such a hard time getting a convention center off the ground becouse the longer they wait the more harm they do to them selves in my view you see how cincinnati becouse of its expansion and renovation snached to 2008 national black baptist convention(18,000-25,000 people) from cleveland a pittsburgh even tho pitts convention center is already done(2003) and one web site showed a design of the new cleveland convention center and it was spectacular.

cincinnati convention center(Cinergy Center) construction webcam at wcpo.com i had called the convention center yesterday to ask a construction question and when they pick up the phone they already say cinergy center i wonder was that part of the deal that they is to begin using cinergy center now instead of waiting to 2006.
