Thanks to everyone for the support and the warm welcome! I am now at the liberty to tell that Nigel Cotterill has left his partnership at Universal Grille (formerly Hamburger Mary's) to open his own place. He has taken over the old Alchemize space at 12th and Walnut and will be opening up a new bar concept for Cincinnati. Designed to fit into the neighborhood and welcome the local residents, the arts and theater groups, and people of all walks of life. This is great news as it will offer one more place to help build "community" in the Gateway Quarter........I believe he is calling the new place "Below Zero" but don't quote me on that. I keep hearing buzz of other prospects in the retail spaces also. Keep your fingers crossed. The business part of the neighborhood seems to be filling as quickly as the residential sector. This project is a definite win for OTR as well as the entire city of Cincinnati.

WOW, News travels fast!! You were almost correct to perfection! We actually officially signed the papers about twenty minutes after you posted. We will be on the West side of Vine in the Duncanson Lofts building, occupying both spaces of 1213. The folks behind this project have done an amazing job and hats are to be tipped to Kathleen Norris for the fantastic work she is doing in securing good tenants!! Each and everytime we have made a visit to the new site, the energy we feel in the neighborhood is amazing! We look VERY FORWARD to becoming a part of OTR!!
