Rabbit Hash

Watch it get downsized. That 25 story tower ain't happening.

And yet projects in other cities roll right along.

Just some random drone footage I shot for another project where you can get a perspective of the condition of the paint that you normally don't see. PPB.mp4

Mixed feelings about this. Analog was nice.

Who trusts what they "believe" at this point?

Same. Anything that is talked about anymore as far as development in this metro, I assume will never happen or will be a third of the size/scope proposed. Still a good chance the BSB companion falls through, right? We get an inconsequential convention space makeover, stalled Banks, and The Artistry.

Amateur hour.

He's just protecting his reputation for 20+ years of mediocre work, maybe?

To my untrained eye, it all just looks like incompetence cronyism at the government level.

The views are spectacular...except for the obnoxious power lines.

Heritage Bank Center will host Louisville vs. Cincinnati basketball later this year. Freedom Hall comeback set as Louisville renews rivalry with Cincinnati Eric Crawford May 9, 2025 Updated 4 hrs ago LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The University of Louisville men's basketball program will rekindle two of its oldest and fiercest rivalries next season. One day after announcing a six-year series with Memphis, Louisville is set to announce a two-year series with Cincinnati, with the second game to be played in Freedom Hall in 2026 and the first to be played in the Heritage Bank Center in downtown Cincinnati in 2025. John Rothstein of CBS was the first to report the agreement. That game will mark a homecoming for second-year Louisville coach Pat Kelsey, who grew up in Cincinnati and played and coached at Xavier University. Louisville has faced Cincinnati more than any other opponent in a rivalry that stretches back to 1921. The last meeting between the schools was an 81-62 loss in the 2022 Maui Invitational. The last time the teams met in the regular season was on Feb. 22, 2014, when Louisville beat then No. 7-ranked Cincinnati 58-57 in the Fifth Third Center on the UC campus. https://www.wdrb.com/sports/freedom-hall-comeback-set-as-louisville-renews-rivalry-with-cincinnati/article_544a6e52-3bcf-4ea3-bc49-59353394ceac.html

Progress from early April that I never added.

This is an existing building.

It will be so nice to not have to look at that eyesore as you come across BSB. What a crappy sight for so many years for people driving through our city.

Is it right to conclude that, with the team investing this amount in the initial phase it shifts some leverage to the county in keeping them - given that the LT lease agreement still needs to be hammered out? Would the Bengals walk on that? Would the NFL frown on them waling on their investment?

Hamilton County strikes a deal with the Bengals on Paycor Stadium improvements; vote expected soon By Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier Apr 22, 2025 Updated Apr 22, 2025 10:28am EDT Hamilton County has struck a deal with the Cincinnati Bengals to spend $185 million improving Paycor Stadium in 2026, a first phase of what could, in the long run, be an $830 million, larger package of upgrades to the facility.

Commissioners are expected to vote Tuesday morning on the deal. More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2025/04/22/hamilton-county-deal-bengals-paycor-lease-terms.html

Obviously looking to decentralize athletic facilities with Goggin at one corner, Yeager and Millett in others.

That cam was panning and zooming when I hit play. May be a dumb question, but who is controlling it? And those tower cranes up at Vine and Calhoun are TALL!

Both of the above arguments can be true, no? 1. That the Brown family has some loyalty to the community and would be will to stay in Cincinnati for less. 2. That the Brown family will look to maximize the leverage that exists in the broader franchise market.

You forgot the big kosher pickle.

Offense explosion in the NL Central last night.

This is a visual obituary.

That sound cryptically great! But... If what you're saying is - is that they are going to follow through on what has been proposed, I don't think there will be much celebration.

These aren't crazy tall, but it will be wild how prominent these will feel coming up the Vine hill.

Downsized. Well, surprise, surprise, surprise.
