Problem solved! Friday, July 17, 2009, 2:37pm EDT Newport on the Levee pins new tenantBusiness Courier of Cincinnati - by Lisa Biank Fasig Courier staff reporter A 12-lane bowling alley, with a restaurant, billiards and party room, is expected to open at Newport on the Levee next spring. The 24,000-square-foot attraction, described as "boutique bowling," will occupy space vacated by Café Istanbul, the Reserve Restaurant & Piano Lounge, Tala’s Distant Treasures and Art on the Levee. It will be owned by Newport on the Levee and managed by a third-party.

Thats a bad blow for the Levee...especially right after the Reserve announcement. Its funny, even though I really never go to the Levee I still know its good for the downtown region if the Levee succeeds, you never hear about this in the news. What a double standard. Can you imagine how the news would eat this up if 4 restaurants (Pacific Moon, Reserve, Tropicana, Cafe Istanbul, and other retailers) would close in such a short period of time!!!! I can see it now...ARMAGEDDON DOWNTOWN!

Has anyone seen the street yet? Are they done?

Tuesday, May 19, 2009, 11:36am EDT Cincinnati Councilwoman Ghiz drops support for streetcarsBusiness Courier of Cincinnati Ghiz View Larger Cincinnati City Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz announced Tuesday that she is revoking her support for an $800,000 streetcar study. Lower than expected tax revenues could produce an $11 million shortfall for the city of Cincinnati in 2009 and a deficit of up to $40 million the next year, city officials told council’s Finance Committee Monday. Ghiz said in a news release that she wants to rechannel the funding to hire two new city prosecutors to combat blight and nuisance issues. She also wants to purchase electronic-monitoring units so inmates turned away by Hamilton County’s overcrowded jail can instead be placed on house arrest. Ghiz said her support for the streetcar “came at a much different economic time.” She now considers public safety to be the city’s top priority. Ghiz was among six members of council who voted to spend $800,000 on an alternatives analysis and environmental studies that would select the best route for a streetcar connection between downtown and the Uptown neighborhoods surrounding the University of Cincinnati.

The kitchen will be run by Mark Bodenstein, a former co-owner of NuVo in Newport, and by Chris Burns, the executive chef at JeanRo Bistro. “What we want people to do is plan a night out at both locations, since they are one building,” Bodenstein said. “Come to the lounge side, have a drink or cocktail before you go to dinner.” No link for article.
