i dont think i like the plaza thing where bender is now. We need a structure there for sure. i like the telford ave. project though. go my neighborhood! :)

I dont know if any of Mt. Wash is or not, I would odubt it (hence the name Mt.....) but parts of California definitely are. Other parts of Cali are not and are VERY nice, although suburban in nature. Is this correct?

yea, they did good by bringing it to the street, but man some windows, or even fake ones would be better than the wall

i tend to like mt. washington, and theres certainly a bit of reinvenstment by young ppl there. But yea, that Kroger is awful. That corner has a lot of possibility but is completely ruined by the brick fortress that is the kroger wall.

this district NEEDS new schools. When I used to work for a window shade company, I took down all the window shades in every Mt. Healthy school, cleaned them, repaired them, and re-installed them. Ugh, that job sucked. The schools (not all of them, but some of them) were in need of a makeover.

ok, so did oakley community council (or whoever is in charge of these type of things) simply say: "oh, right time, right place" and let all these good things happen by themselves or did they enact any sort of master plans to guide the development, etc?

So I think its pretty obvious that Oakley is a happening place in Cincinnati these days. This seems particularly interesting to me. When did this start and why? Does anyone really have any insight into why Oakley has been so successful? My obvious guesses are location, quality existing housing stock, and brownfield potential. What do you UO'ers think?

oh im tolerant. im tolerant of ANY rational thought humans can say. But 6,000 yrs.... :-o

that made me laugh. thats damn funny. im gonna use that all the time now. On an unrelated note......Damn ColDay, Zurich looks awesome. These pictures made me hot in my pants.

yea the banks shouldnt be a clonesville usa. but this, coming from someone who resides in clonesville usa, I mean loveland.

yea i have definitely been impressed by uc's campus since moving here 2 months back. the main street area is pure genius and has such a community feel to it.

oh. yea those freedom writers, or whatever they call themselves, can suck my left nut. jk, i love you.

I'll explain it for you. One day in the bible equals 1,000 years, or some bs like that. Thats the ONLY explanation that makes sense.

can we just...delete this thread or something. it just bothers me.

agreed, cland gets the shaft on that one.

huh?!?!?!!? These two restaurant spaces have been in the plans since Carter released their plans way back when. This is nothing new. All you have to do is scroll back 30 or so pages and find the initial release :-)

i went and walked around the east side of the basin yesterday, where some sort of transportation incline would go. The area could totally support it, theres so many surface lots, etc there. It would really spark investment in that area. Plus, I saw a direct line that was only obstructed by one home. So I say eminent domain that place and build it. :lol: It will take you up to porkopolis. It would be nice.

way to go cincy. take that west lafeyette, in.

oh btw, way to go cleveland. as a city, you moved up a peg in my book :) As for you cland forumers, you moved down a peg or two :wink:

aaawww, mini-me!

That's not strictly true. Greater Cincinnati is the second largest economy based in Ohio, but because part of the metro is outside of the state, it's the third largest contributor to Ohio's economy (according to the study, and the whole point of the graphic.) It's a subtle difference, and I understand that people might miss it, but strictly speaking, the graphic is correct and does explicitly say "share of Ohio's gross domestic product" and "share of Ohio population." And thats why Cincy is getting 'screwed' when simple graphics like these are put up. Again, I could really care less but its got quite annoying that you cant even see what were saying. Because Cincy's numbers for Ohio do not reflect the true economic force that is Cincinnati USA, Cincy's numbers look smaller than they actually are when only looking at the state of Ohio. Thus, Cincy gets the shaft. Ppl will look at that graph and assume without thought that Cincy is Ohio's 3rd largest metro and 3rd largest economic force, when in fact it is the states 2nd largest economic center. bah!

At first, I was all excited to see this thread up. Then I saw Aetennis07's name next to it, and I knew....... :x

damnit, heres what I said: well Cincy def. gets 'screwed' a bit b/c people look at that graphic and probably dont think, 'well oh, Cincy is 3rd here, but it would be bigger if KY and IN were apart of that.' They simply accept it for what the graphic is and thus think Cincy is ohio's 3rd largest economy when in fact it is Ohio's 2nd. But in all reality, its not that big a screw, hardly adulterous.

I never said that you did deny or argue it, I was just stating the obvious. And no, there is NO "screwing" of Cincinnati's metro at all. The parts that aren't in Ohio are simply irrelevant for the purposes of this graphic- there's no belittling or shafting going on, just the presentation of data for the state of Ohio and not Kentucky or Indiana. well Cincy def. gets 'screwed' a bit b/c people look at that graphic and probably dont think, 'well oh, Cincy is 3rd here, but it would be bigger if KY and IN were apart of that.' They simply accept it for what the graphic is and thus think Cincy is ohio's 3rd largest economy when in fact it is Ohio's 2nd. But in all reality, its not that big a screw, hardly adulterous. By saying "shafted" and "screwed" you implied there was something unfair about it, so it seemed like whining. Stating the obvious would be saying, "Cincinnati's metro also includes parts of two other states," rather than "Why oh why is Cincinnati being shafted by not using data from other states in statistics about Ohio?" (That's an exaggeration, but it's how I took your post.) However, I think we've hijacked this thread for long enough, so I'll save MayDay the trouble and say BACK ON TOPIC, both of us! :whip:

Better than an AmeriC*NT. *gasp* GuuUUUuuuys....its AmeriCAN........hhmmm........AmeriCA......... I thought your name was Monican not Monicant.......Monica........ -Phoebe, anyone? lol what is that from? I think we need graphics of bald eagles busting through American flags to counter all these terrorist tactics. friends, and yes, i agree.
