Seriously I know this is a difficult process, but it is a time sensitive issue. I dont have much reason to cross anymore unless leaving town, but after being rear ended on the bastard by an old lady and seeing my life flash before my eyes as an 18 wheeler rushed to pass out of the way I feel like more should be done to expedite a solution.

I find it funny that no one had the forsight to see how gas prices were going to be and that the price of gas would FAR outweigh the tax increases proposed for the eastern corridor. Driving just really isnt an option for alot of people anymore. I quit my job in Fairfield, sold my car and walk to work now (I HATE DRIVING), but let me tell you, it was a bitch to find a job in the central city. While avoiding the TONS of far out jobs on bus lines with a bunch of transfers and without reliability or even no bus service in the area at all. On an extreme personal note, getting rid of my car was one of the most freeing experiences I have had.

Yeah, I dont find OTR nearly as intimidating as I used to. I guess because I live so close I have gotten used to it. The only part I feel a little uneasy is around Kroger on Vine just because there are about 500 people meandering that look like they have nothing to do. Like others have said before, you just have to be smart. If Helen Soccermomerson was walking down the street staring at everyone or if Shady the kentucky boy coming up for drugs was being all sketchy in the street I am sure there would be trouble, but I have rarely seen a passerby who has somewhere to be, be bothered. I dont know, I guess it is a personal perception thing.

If someone didn know where Cleveland was that would just make them a bumbling fucking idiot im sorry.

I see both sides of it really, I am really on both sides and it does suck that one family is resposible for this hold up, but then it sucks for them they have to move. However at 2 times market value and a cruise it does certainly pad it. You could move up a whole level in neighborhood stature and get a new car haha. Those houses really ARENT that pretty lol.

Maybe they just bought the wireless component because out in LA GTE was really big for home phones and all of that switched to verizon as did their buildings.

After thinking about this a long while. I dont think it is right either. These people own houses, its where they live lol, is crate and barrel more important than their american dream. They have , what an acre of parking in the middle of rookwood, suck it up build a garage and put it there, goodness gracious.

A few years ago Verizon bought GTE and recently I thought they bought something as well. Honestly, I really dont see them completing phase two, ever. The more I look at the rendering it could be a good thing though LOL.

'Some sort of Mexican restaurant, but I forget the name of it' Ooooh, was it Baja Fresh? I sure hope so, I love that place.

Doubt it. Its probably somewhere in this thread already, but if phase two isnt built what happens to the old parking garage?

I thought Tuttle's re-doing was already done, I was just there and it looked nice, plus someone had told me. I admittedly didnt enter the facility though as I would rather perish.

Hmm, that has potential to be hot...and it is already going to sprawl anyways so no worries about strip malls popping up. I agree with taking the heat off 275, the part from 71/75 is REDICULOUS, at 5:30 it could take you an hour.

I am soooo tired of mergers, particularly bank mergers because it is so easy to consolodate big time and it kills so much of the economies in cities all over (and not even speaking of economy, it hurts alot of peoples lives). I think in this day and age it needs to be regulated a little more, I mean come on we even have a city built of stolen banks now *cough* *cough* The day those bastards steal 5/3 ... Actually though 5/3 can go ahead and gobble up some stuff and build a new tower and I would be bias-ly ok with that.

I think Cincinnati would have been alot better off without the Bengals and their expensive stadium.

LOL....people living on the square sounds awesome and the fifth third building is a great place, but with that said 5/3 is HIDEOUS...Imagine saying yeah thats where I live *points up*

When my brother stays with me (Downtown) I have to drive him to school around 9 (UC) and my primary route is naturally Vine St. Today I made this particular trip and was solicited drugs in my car 3 times LOL. I HAAAATE stopping at red lights there, it is probably the most active area of streetlife in the city though on the plus side lol. When I read this in the beginning I had thought wow, why would anyone be so daring as to make a project there. I mean it would be FANTASTIC as its a grand gateway to the city with beautiful architecture, but making it inhabitable is going to be a long complicated project. Everytime I make the drive through there I pee my pants at how cool the buildings are.

In the dead of Christmas season the mall has been relatively empty compared to my beloved tri-county and kenwood. I really have been there too, even before it started snowing...puuuurty slow. Cincinnatians are going to stick to what they have had, especially since most have been here for 23895792 years, I know I have been waiting to get off for a long time on montgomery and Kenwood forever too doesnt mean they are going to the mall. Anywho Forest Fair was suppost to be a bad ass upscale mall in an area that has pretty much always been and to this day is just average joe. I dont get what the point is. Anyways Mills malls arent the shit either, its what malls are when they are put in low spend areas...wee as seen on tv? Dollar store...c'mon. But its average, look its what forest park and need I say FAIRFIELD (has been the area that we all made fun of since I was 9 and old enough to be dumb and a prick) What do you think a HUGE malll there is going to become, some derilict reincarnation dollar store mall YAY there we go it is what it is.

It fills a niche and I too highly doubt the failure of it, they have them all over and they are always well run strong malls. Millls has connections for when a store goes abandoned. I am not big on going to the mall so thats where most of my prejudice comes from.

Jeez.....I have been a couple times. The first time I went, I said I would never go back, it was chintzy and lame. Some of the outlet stores are still retaredly expensive. I gave it another shot and I was just very un-impressed with the whole thing. ut really thats just me because I had little interest in it to begin with. I did like Bass Pro though, it was neat to see the fish and whatnot.

HAHAHA the grandma will be on the milk carton that she had just purchased.

Doesnt that one have a monorail or was that just a rumor?

I agree there is not much need for a garage in a far suburb and that would be proposterous to a developer probably, but this is a design of yesterday, I think it would have been way more cool had it been designed to the curb with the parking hidden in the rear.

I have eaten at abuelos in Dallas...it is very good! Glad to see one near, even if it is in a sea of parking madness!
