  1. not sure if i misread your comment, but its not necessarily around points of interest. The way I have followed the tour is by following the arrows...it is a driving tour to show off the area. So the arrows are at points where you would make a turn, etc. that you otherwise wouldn't know to turn there. Someone correct me if I am wrong here, I have follwoed the tour twice and lost the arrows in downtown each time.
  2. ^have you guys ever followed them? I have seen them around and just hopped on the tour. Kinda cool I thought. Saw some stuff I had never seen before.
  3. So then Cincy-Rise, did you hear Morton's is relocating?
  4. maybe. i dont know if they are already there or not.
  5. well, according to Morton's website, they are going to have a site at Tower Place. http://www.mortons.com/website/index.html
  6. yours and grasscats pictures just make me realize how much potential this city has. It truly is SO unique to the midwest. This is why the census numbers make it that more depressing. Anytime someone or something isnt living up to potential, it hurts a little more. aaahhhh.
  7. how come there isnt one thread on here dedicated to the good things we have done in Iraq?

    thanks for posting that
  9. people, its not 32% anymore. its 40%. dun dun duuuuuuuun
  10. Has anyone read this article in the recent Time magazine. If so, could someone post it somehow. If not, the article basically talks about workers like janiotrs who are climbing into the middle class in such cities as Pittsburgh because of an effort to unionize janitors, etc. They refer to Cincinnati as the next big push to unionize these workers and discuss some numbers that compare similarities of Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. They also discuss OTR and the West End and present reasons why it is so poor, etc. If anyone is able to post this, that would be cool, if not, I can elaborate more on the article if no one else has read it. Very interesting read.

  15. im pretty uneasy about the neon tubes idea. I guess I will have to wait and see. I just dont want it to be tacky all in the name of art.
  16. im not writing this project off. The renderings look good and I am gonna wait til the finished product. I still have faith.
  17. i mean, i just think window size and placement make such a HUGE difference. They could have used this material and put in nice, big windows instead of those small, oddly placed ones, and it would have looked 10x better.

    that is pretty freakin' awesome!
  19. I dont know, but I was in the Cincy area this past weekend. I live in Harrison Township and me and 7 of my friends drove to Mainstrasse and went to Pechinkos (sp) then drove over to Hofbrahaus (sp) then went home (thanks DD.) We met 3 girls who were from Florence doing the same thing. I live in the 'burbs/country and I went to the city. I know my sister has always done this and her and her boyfriend now reside in Norwood. I definitely think suburban people can be lured to downtown and will do so as long as they have a DD. I did. If there is a true destination down there, it will be even easier to get people like me to go down there. Btw, I want to move to the city when I get my degree and if there are people from Harrison who want the city life then there HAS to be twice that many people living in Mason lol.
  20. whats interesting is that, since 2000, the percent has gone up from about 29% to its current 33.5%. Since people arent exactly moving into the city, that tells me the middle class is getting squeezed out. Thus, since the rich and poor stay in the city, the rate goes up because the rich now make ur a greater proportion of the population.
  21. see i dont agree with that. I think it has more to do with a lack of middle class in the city. It seems to me youre either wealthy or poor if you live in the city limits. Yea, there is a middle class and my roommate is apart of it in the city, but it perhaps is smaller than these other places.
  22. nice collection. from a lot of those angles, toledos tallest looks like columbus's tallest.
  23. i guess it could be. i take it back then. sorry
  24. lol, geez grammar nazi. or is that offensive? Someone let me know!!!!!!!!!
