I think you are talking about the new daycare building that P&G is putting up.

Looks like they are going to get approved...what ever it is! At the bottom of the link is references "downtown residents council was notified of the application and do not object". Does anyone know if DRC was notified of the establishment? http://city-egov.cincinnati-oh.gov/Webtop/ws/council/public/child/Blob/25489.pdf;jsessionid=0DA9DCC4496047C3D997B9F944EFEA22?rpp=-10&m=1&w=doc_no%3D'200900170'

Anyone go to the debate tonight?

Bootsy's has sushi!

Take a look at this! Even when positive things happen in this town people still complain about it! THANKS CHANNEL 5 NEWS...ANOTHER WASTE OF TIME STORY!!! Downtown Workers Call Banks 'Pile Of Mud' The much-anticipated Banks Project is under way but one City Council member is saying that progress is too slow and already behind schedule. Many workers who walk by the project everyday told News 5 that the project is nothing but a big mud pit. Full story text is available at http://www.wlwt.com/news/18434753/detail.html

Perfect!!!

Good news for the streetcars! Assuming someone more forward thinking takes his spot.

Cranley resigning council seat By Howard Wilkinson • [email protected] • January 7, 2009 Democratic Cincinnati city councilman John Cranley, prevented by term limits from seeking another term, said today he will resign his council seat Thursday and concentrate on private West Side real estate developments. Cranley's resignation means that his fellow Democratic council members must choose someone to fill out the final 11 months of his term. The replacement is likely to be a Democrat who was planning on running for council this year and could use the advantage of running as an incumbent. Candidates include Greg Harris or Brian Garry, two Democrats who have run before and are likely to run again this year. Cranley, who joined council as an appointed member in 2000, is a partner in City Lights Development LLC, which is developing Incline Square, a mixed-use development in East Price Hill. He said Wednesday he is going to work on securing financing and breaking ground on that project. Cranley said he is also becoming a partner in a second development, Harbor Lights LLC, run by developer Ray Brown. That development would take a stretch of River Road in Lower Price Hill and build apartments and condos, and restaurant and office spaces. He is also joining the Cincinnati law firm of Keating, Muething & Klekamp, where he will work in the firm's bond and municipal finance division. Cranley said Wednesday he expects an appointment from Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland to a state board that issues licenses to social workers and marriage counselors. Cranley, who was appointed to council originally to replace Todd Portune and then won election on his own four times, was the Democratic candidate in the 1st Congressional District in 2006, coming up short of unseating Republican incumbent Steve Chabot. Cranley said Wednesday that while he is leaving early to enter the private sector, he is not through with politics. "I expect that I will run again for some office when the opportunity arises,'' Cranley said.

As a Miami Alum and a downtown resident, I hope this is true!!!

I also noticed a bagel sandwich place between Gondola's and lodge! Has anyone been by there to see when it is opening?

Does anyone have an email address for Kaldis?

What? Any hope for the people or the project?

Nice to see Portune and Pepper responding so quickly and firmly

Updated: Lawsuit could delay Banks By Jessica Brown • [email protected] • December 8, 2008 A crane company that was denied work on The Banks project despite being the lowest bidder is now suing Hamilton County and the three county commissioners. Cincinnati-based AmQuip Crane Rental has filed a lawsuit in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court arguing its bid package of $419,162 was the lowest bid.

From what I understand it is for Freedom Way. They are extending it all the way across phase 1 and 2. They need to complete it by a certain date to secure a perticular grant for the construction. John Deitrick said they will be close! (That was from the last presentation on the Banks to City council) Thats the last I heard unless someone else has more info!

Who knows...lets just hope for something NOT cheesy

It looks like "Mainstay" will be opening soon (the old "Poison Room", on fifth). They have the sign up outside...new paint job...they are finishing up on work inside and were hanging up plasma tv's today. Looks like it could be a cool rock bar. Does anyone know if they are going to be using the upstairs??? That could be the part that would make it a great bar!

I have an apartment available in Pleasent Ridge for 475.00. One bedroom...heat and water included, garage, cul-da-sac, laundry in building, top floor in a four family.

Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 5:06 PM EDT Terrace Hotel to close Oct. 31 Business Courier of Cincinnati - by Laura Baverman Staff Reporter Cincinnati’s 15th largest hotel, downtown’s Terrace Hotel, will close Oct. 31, according to its staff. “We will officially be closed as of tomorrow,” an operator at the hotel said Thursday afternoon. “As far as I know, it is permanent.” No link available.

Did anyone find out any info on the "Slot 15" spot?

That vet clinic is going in on plum street next to the plum street cafe.

13 stories will be a nice addition over there.

Just to put the new building in perspective...How tall is the Renainnance building?

That could be good news or bad news...it depends on what Wade handles this!

Cranley is very transparent on his personal issues...it is very apparent he is more concerned about his career than the city of Cincinnati. Gotta love that old "Cincinnati politics"
