I think Ill buy a tshirt when they come available.

Shaq does not drive himself everywhere. He's a star.. He likes to make an entrance in a limo or something flashy..

St. V/M is a high school.. They have money for their own stuff. Put the arena on wolfs ledges and build a new parking deck in downtown with a pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks..

Shaq is talked about on realestalker.com so I'm sure it will be posted up on there when he does decide.

Oh ok.. So has there been any brainstorming on curving that? Last time I was in OTR a prostitute tried to get in my car.. It could be a nice area if something was done but until then it gives cincinnati a bad rep.

Hmm... *puts brain back in jar* better now

Its a possibility. Northside lofts are nice and have a great view.. I've even seen deer at the cvnp train station across the street so its kinda downtown living with nature in one area. Plus luigis pizza... yum

Interesting... when will the people be out to make cincinnati safe.. Advertise that on the radio show. I heard that last month OTR was ranked as being the most dangerous area in the country. A 25% chance of being a victim of a crime...

Yes Akron does.. I like going downtown to luigis @ 2am at sometimes it hard to get a table.. From what I've noticed in the year or so that I've been a member here is that there not a lot of Akron Representation... Show Rubber City some Love yall..

I thought that as well. I'm going to say its not a credible rumor.

I've heard a rumor that Shaq met with northside lofts management over penthouses last week. Any truth to this?

Although I see your point, and I sort of agree with you, I want to be sure we're all on the same page. UA is city campus, but it's not like CSU. From your other posts, it seems you're referring to the use of eminent domain, which is a whole different story. But a lot of people still have the idea that Akron uses the city as it's 'campus'. When in reality all the streets have been closed off through the main campus area. Of course there are still areas in the campus foot print that have streets, but this is no Cleveland State(nothing against CSU). It's closer to a Toledo sort of vibe, but unlike Toledo, 'campus' as we know it is still expanding. Akron is a sleeping giant. And it's growing every year(in acres and in enrollment). The future is bright. I agree. Just like many look at the chapel as being the UA church yet its not. Its basically on campus but not associated with the University. I like how the campus is becoming. I attended Malone in Canton and I never felt like I was on a college campus. When I transferred to Cincinnati Christian University I felt the same. Had a great view of cincinnati but lacked the campus feel. I attend Cinti state right now and it is truely a campus. Akron now has a campus feel but 10 years back it didn't. EJ thomas hall and the goodyear building kind of bring downtown onto campus slighty. Soon downtown Akron will be fit to gain off of more students living on campus. There's a need for a dave and busters type of facility downtown and I'm sure it would flourish..(JMO)

I use huntington and US Bank. I had first merit when I was in Akron but they aren't in SW ohio so I changed.

The parking structure would mostly serve the new resident halls going up next to the stadium and would also be used on gameday. I love the color scheme for the field @ the stadium.. Ill drive up from the dayton area to visit the family and see a few UA games this fall.. I'm actually interested in UA football for once..

I have a friend that works @ the plasma bank.. He said the university wants to buy the plasma bank to build a parking deck for the stadium. A deal has not been reached so its not public information yet.

Good design and color scheme for the new park west building.. Wonder what's going to be in there..

I want the andy wig...

I dissagree.. Lebron is connected in many ways to UA. His h.s. Coach is the Head coach @ UA. Friends with an assistant coach and his h.s. Team mates palyed there. If and when UA chooses to build a new arena Lebron will have a minor roll in it and I'm sure it will deal with money. I like to see it built on the other side of campus where all that empty space is along rt 8. High visability and room for parking deck/lots. It would spread out the campus a lil bit as well as keeping it out of Downtown..

Never been there. Drove past the place all the time going to sand run. I should go check it out. Would be a great place for engagement photos..

Mendenhell should never open his mouth again in public.. Mayor Don... be on ur best behavior and represent Akron well..

Wow only about 30,000 people voted.. And its 3 to 1 infavor of not recalling the mayor... small voter turnout.

Well today is the vote.. I voted and showed my nonexistent political muscle... there was only a few people voting when I did @ lunch hour... from my guess not a lot will show up to vote.

They look pretty good but don't think I'll be buying in that area just yet.

So by coming independent they take tax dollars away as well as population and cinti therefore goes under 300,000. Could go back to ohio's 4th largest. It would then be Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati and Akron as top 5.

Just another reason to not swim in the river... fish are bigger than ur children...
