  1. Anyone have $50K? http://cgi.ebay.com/Liquor-License-Bar-Restaurant-Cincinnati-Ohio_W0QQitemZ270275412087QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270275412087&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1307&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
  2. I much prefer to have subway than at grade or elevated rail. I think that it is much more aesthetically pleasing as well as more efficient. I dont mind having elevated or at grade rail once it is outside the city center, but in the city center subway in my opinion is better
  3. ^ Is there any chance that they will make a decision on the tunnel anytime in the near future?
  4. ^ could 3cdc end up buying a lot of the properties for bargin prices due to damage for the out of towners who don't feel like messing with it?

    ^ I would not recomend Mason. My parents live out there... If you are at all opposed to a stail environment, that is what you will get with mason. Its suburban all families and really the only young people that live there live with their parents. No night life, and the drive to downtown is not fun to do everyday. But if that is for you cincinnati traffic is a joke compaired to most places in the country. Not really that heavy.
  6. ^ will there be an option to buy a yearly pass or something to that effect
  7. People today rely to heavily on the government (City) to take care of everything. People should feel a sense of ownership and take pride in that. Picking up trash and pulling some weeds is just like mowing your lawn it is something you should do.

    ^ The first several floors are parking.
  9. ^ were P&G, Kroger, 5/3, AF among others on the list of 60 people?
  10. It would be nice to see the enquirer do reporting like this! Instead of playing to the suburbanite crowd, doing an impartial piece that reports the news
  11. It would have been nice to see the city at least make a play for this. I would have loved to see another skyscraper downtown, even if meant giving them the land plus tax breaks. There is pleanty of vancant land downtown that would be much better suited for these jobs than west cheaster. If not in downtown it would have been cool to see them retrofit the Bicycle factory in Norwood.
  12. This is one of my favorite buildings in DT and arguably in the best location in DT. I am really excited about this project and hope that they really do a nice job. This building and this location deserve nothing but the best
  13. The good news keeps rolling in. Although I wish they were going to get rid of the giant surface lot across the street, this is still great news

    I would love to see this at the Banks or at Broadway Commons. Something along the lines of Milwaukee's. I know its a pipe dream, but hey I can dream

    Cincinnati Art Museum considers Wyoming site http://communitypress.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080807/NEWS/808070365
  16. Didn't they originally propose to have parking on the roof?

    I have mixed emotions about the Griffey trade, but best of luck to him in Chi-town

    For Cincinnati the list is never ending. 1) Sinton Hotel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Sinton_Hotel.jpg 2) Grand Hotel http://www.cincinnatimemory.org/gsdl/collect/greaterc/archives/HASH019e/523c189e.dir/ocp000692slide.jpg 3) The Federal Building http://www.cincinnatimemory.org/gsdl/collect/greaterc/archives/HASHb0b7/19f0d0b6.dir/ocp002360pcpfb.jpg 4) Mabely Carew http://www.cincinnatimemory.org/gsdl/collect/greaterc/archives/HASH0107/1de92430.dir/ocp000381slide.jpg 5) RKO Albee http://cinematreasures.org/images/photos/1044.jpg 6) Pike's Opera House http://www.cincinnatimemory.org/gsdl/collect/greaterc/archives/HASH18c0/e47e608e.dir/ocp000564slide.jpg 7) Pogues Department Store http://www.selfcraft.net/Hannaford/Pogues.jpg The List could go on and on, but I don't have that kind of time
  19. I dont know about the interstate access, but this happens all over. Check out this site i particularly like their 'Fishscale' or 'Fan'pattern http://eurocobble.com/
  20. Although I'm incredibly excited about this building, but I wish it was going to fill a surface lot rather than knocking down a structure to put up a new one
  21. ^ I would like to see kayak rentals
  22. ^ That's great news keep them comin'
  23. This sounds awesome I wish that I could be home to work on this. Unfortunately I've never gotten the chance to see the inside of the theater. Does anyone have any pictures of this?

    What about making it apartments? Downtown is definately lacking in the apartment stock. I know that we are going to get a lot with the first phase of the Banks, but something geared towards the YP's needs to be for rent most dont have 40k in assets to secure a 200k loan. As far as the Playhouse moving here I'm not a fan. I would like to see something that will create a lot of sidewalk activity. (Movie Theater, Shopping, Restaurants) Something like D.C. has around the Verison Center. Just a disclaimer I am for the Playhouse moving Downtown, but will it really create enough energy?
