Thank you. Now, thats a clear explanation. I remember reading an article in some local Columbus magazine talking about the 3C's dining scenes and they were saying how Cincinnati was always regarded as the premiere dining scene in the state. They went on to say Columbus was making ground with the opening of a few new restaurants recently in the Short North (Rosendales was one I think).

this is why suburbia is, by definition, unsustainable. What in the world can possibly re-use this space? Not much. Just like all the large vacant Wal-marts. Large spaces like that only serve a specific purpose and unfortunately that type of space ages quickly and if abandoned, has no hope. This is what these morons get. Good riddance. (Super pissy here)

isnt it the largest indoor mall in the state, or something like that? Yea, I always thought they did a good job on the renovation but there was never a chance. Lets TEAR IT DOWN and turn it back over to nature. Lets do that to the Golden Corral and Ryan's Steakhouse too. Ugh!

oh yay, a generic chain for a generic development in an incredibly unique and interesting neighborhood. wtf. Sorry, i am pissy.

Huh, an Interstate urbanizing....that might be an oxymoron. Its all great and wonderful to have these highrises as seen from the interstate, but how are these structures connected to their communities. Two words: They're not! The Evanston development turns its back on Evanston itself. The Rookwood developments: ugh! and well...Kenwood is Kenwood and the bs around the Baldwin Center is awful too. This development is, for the most part, bad. It is taking away from the CBD. I know that most of the tenants considering moving to this Evanston development are moving from downtown. And I know of another firm moving from downtown into the Kenwood tower. This is BAD! Atleast Keystone Parke is IN the city. Atleast...

gotcha. they update their menu pretty regularly.

What did you get/how many times have you been? Please don't tell me you got the Lavo Burger. For me, it is getting better and better. Definitely wonderful imo.

Never been to an Urbanohio meet, have you? :laugh: ha. only been to one and they came out of the woodwork. we need more of this.

is there any way to change your vote? We need more lesbians.

i've been out on urban ohio for a while now. I had to come out to my friends and family first. then came urban ohio.

wow, missed all this gay talk on here. I've said it before and I will say it again. Urban Ohio Gay Meet. We can check out the gayborhood of the place and enjoy the night. all are welcome but it will strictly be gay themed.

oh ok.

This church is still standing! I thought it was torn down already? I went through Sedamsville yesterday to check it out and it was still there, seemingly in its entirety. Unless of course Sedamsville has another church that looks similar to this one.

CCM students? That doesn't make much sense. ha. theyre outsourcing to CCM! bah!

Yea, you have to be thinking of another neighborhood. CT is very well maintained, even in the lower part of the 'hood closest to the river. There are three different sections of the 'hood: lower, middle, upper. The upper is seeing some suburban type infill and their are also established mansions up close to Alms. The middle section is the best part, featuring the beautiful Tusculum Avenue and some branching streets. There has been A TON of infill here, some good, some bad, and some just awful.

I am going to do this in terms of where I would live if I were to settle here: Over-the-Rhine Downtown/CBD Northside Clifton (live here now) Prospect Hill (Mt. Auburn) Mt. Adams Mt. Lookout Oakley East Walnut Hills (DeSales) Hyde Park

lavomatic cafe, close to 12th and vine is wonderful. a bit further walk but worth it.

well really, I think it could be turned into something interesting/cool. Id rather see that than some parking garage.

uuuhhh its about WE not ME. youre just not getting it. :wink:

True. :) Dont know if I agree. ha. But come on, where are your people's standards. We want the best for our communities. Let the suburbs have the 'this is better than a cornfield' mentality. we can do better. YES WE CAN! Gobama :)

so just a blank wall to the street? Wouldn't Model know better?

uuhhh, is it atleast going to be fronted with retail. Or can we assume this to be true?

of those listed, paris. I havent been to many on the list. But my favorite that I have been to is Amsterdam. So damn pretty. Want to go to Copenhagen!

lmao. AVOID THE ZOO AT ALL COSTS.

Well I went to Lavo. last night and it was PACKED I thought. And my boyfriend who works there said it was a typical night/kind of slow. I took that as an excellent sign. I have been a couple of times since it opened and IMO, the menu has only become better. And plus, the waiter staff always seems so friendly and nice. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Its a little pricey to go to all the time for a college student like myself, but it really is a great place nonetheless.
