Oh man, I remember when I was younger my grandparents took me and my siblings camping in this area, and when we went into town my grandpa had to go into EVERY antique store while my grandma had to browse though EVERY craft shop... us young-uns were bored to tears. Didn't George Washington eat at the Golden Lamb?

wow, it looks really funky. I like the garden space on top.

I've been past it a couple times coming home from work. It's interesting; it could have been a lot worse, and I kind of like it. The old building was neat in its own way too though, I was sad that it got demolished.

I don't remember :???: It might have been through a link from another message board (woxy.com), about the giant Jesus statue?? Otherwise I truly don't remember.

Aren't there plans for something new in that building already? I think Battelle is putting something science-y in there and there is going to be some other stuff.. um. From Dispatch.com article Sunday Aug. 8: The city was given the Lazarus store and paid Federated $5.7 million for more than 4 adjoining acres that had been parking lots and a garage. The city is spending several million more to renovate the store’s Town and Front street facades to include shops and restaurants. The building is slated to become a science center for Ohio State University and Battelle, and house offices for the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. It's sad that the Lazarus of today is so far removed from its heyday. If you've been following the Columbus Dispatch's series of articles it's amazing how much the store has changed. Apparently there used to be a half dozen restaurants inside the store, and various other services.

haha' date=' you ARE new to Cincinnati. This whole thing is crazy... I don't believe the issue has anything to do with gay [i']marriage[/i] or protecting any institutions, it's instead based on the fact that some people hate/fear the whole idea of homosexuality. So they will do anything to discourage people from participating in the gay lifestyle, not understanding that people are going to continue to BE gay whether or not they can get married. :crazy: It's just stupid.
