I love that view over the bridge looking straight into the West Virginia cliffs.

Forget TImes Square, give me Fountain Square! :-D

I miss spending Indian Summer days on the Oval. BTW, good riddance Means Hall!

Awesome! Would love to see similar shots after Queen City Square is finished and lit up.

Great pics! The new library looks great and a huge improvement over the old 1970's monstrosity.

I was there last month and it was named A.W.O.L., not sure if it had a different name before that. The restaurant next door (corner of Parsons and Oak) has changed names a few times and is now called Black Creek Bistro.

It will be interesting to see how the Grandview Yard development will affect Gradview Avenue. I'm glad to see they're including a residential element to the new building replacing those lost in the fire.

A.W.O.L.! Fun, neighborhood (gay) bar worth checking out.

Beautiful pics :clap:

I've driven by that building in Gallipolis a hundred times and never realized it was a Carnegie, very cool.

When did the Fifth-Third Bank signage go up on One SeaGate?

Nice development. I had no idea Xavier was such a small enrollment. Any plans for growth in the near future?

Great pics of a great neighborhood....what is it with queens and the Union Cafe, it's like they're inseparable :)

WOW! Dayton has never looked better, great pics man.

Great pics! I really like the overhead retail signage along the sidewalks.

There's also a Hicksville, Long Island, New York....strange. Hicksville, Ohio actually looks pretty nice.

No, my college days at Ohio State ruined any potential political carreer. :drunk:

The first picture of me to show up on UrbanOhio.com and I look like I'm hung over. And why do I have my hands in my pockets in every picture? :evil:

Log Cabin Republicans are real??? I thought they were just a myth, a very scary myth.

This was my first visit to the Union Terminal and my first All Aboard Ohio meeting, both were very impressive! and the view of downtown from the steps of the Union Terminal blew me away :clap:

Columbus Alive just did a profile on a guy who moved to Columbus from Grand Rapids http://www.columbusalive.com/?sec=search&story=columbusalive/2007/1206/n-mixologist.html

While Stringtown is suburban hell, Downtown Grove City does have its charm (can't beat Plank's on a Tuesday!). BTW, where is your family moving from?

Developer keeps finding industrial rebuilding chances in Ohio By M.R. KROPKO AP Business Writer CLEVELAND (AP) -- Relaxing inside a small coffee shop on a wintry morning in downtown Cleveland, Stuart Lichter wore a heavy jacket when he probably needed a thicker winter coat. Swirling snow and biting wind isn't the climate he's used to at home in suburban Los Angeles. But Ohio keeps drawing him in, even on frigid, bleak December days. The 58-year-old founder, president and managing partner of Downey, Calif.-based Industrial Realty Group LLC doesn't mind the cold when redevelopment opportunities are hot. Before a meeting with bankers Tuesday, Lichter held a warm coffee in one hand and took repeated urgent calls on a cell phone in the other, putting some final touches on a $900 million deal he proposed about nine months ago to remake the corporate headquarters of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and its surroundings in Akron.

I know this is off topic, but does the City of Dayton have a deal (like Columbus' Win-Win) in which they allow annexed land to remain in its original school distict and not force it to become Dayton Public? For example, if Dayton had annexed Mad River Twp. would my Alma Mater, Stebbins, have become a Dayton Public School?

Riverside has 23,000 people, so it's not that small. But you're right there really isn't much there other than suburban development. Just down the street from the USAF Museum is the "true" Riverside (around Founders Park and Virginia Stevenson Elementary), the rest developed as Mad River Twp. and lacks any sort of CBD.
