Posted July 4, 201014 yr Cincinnati Part 1 - Downtown Part 2 - OTR and UC Part 3 - Clifton and City West Part 4 - Mt. Adams On the second day of my trip, my friend and I went to Clifton. We were also going to go to Union Terminal, but I didn't want to pay for parking (or for getting into the museum, I am a cheap college student) so I just took a picture of it, drove towards downtown, and stumbled upon the City West development. Clifton Union Terminal City West Fix Me!
July 4, 201014 yr Nice photos. You don't have to pay to get into the rotunda at Union Terminal, and it's worth the effort even if you walk from the street to save parking costs.
July 5, 201014 yr Great set! I love Clifton, definitely one of my top three favorite neighborhoods in Cincy.

Oh, well, now I will know that for next time, thanks! Great set! I love Clifton, definitely one of my top three favorite neighborhoods in Cincy. Thanks! I also really liked Clifton. There are a lot of unique shops and the neighborhood is beautiful (and there is quite a bit of eye candy too :-D)
July 5, 201014 yr Thanks! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 5, 201014 yr I love City West, it never really got much media attention for how much work and investment went in there. I really wish that old theatre could be renovated as well. Great shots.
July 6, 201014 yr I can, but then I'd delete your post. Now that would be unique. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 8, 201014 yr Nice photos. You don't have to pay to get into the rotunda at Union Terminal, and it's worth the effort even if you walk from the street to save parking costs. On this note, there's free 15 minute parking in the driveway up by the entrance. Great if you just want to peak in for a quick look and a few photos.
July 9, 201014 yr Thanks, and you should definitely check those places out. I wish I would have spent more time in Clifton, it is a really cool neighborhood.
July 11, 201014 yr Very nicely done, as in the other threads! City West... parts of that look like they belong in the suburbs, and there's just something off about the more urban-looking sections too. But design aside, has City West been reasonably successful, Cincy folks? Is it finally complete? Been a while since I last read up on it.
July 12, 201014 yr I speculate that one of the things that makes parts of City West look suburban is lack of mature trees; that's characteristic of subdivisions built in the middle of farm fields. Give the trees some time (twenty years at the very least) to get some size and for residents to give the homes individual character with their own landscaping, and probably it will take on an entirely different, more established character.
July 12, 201014 yr ^ Good point. Time will make a difference. Not sure about some of those front lawns, though!

But design aside, has City West been reasonably successful, Cincy folks? Is it finally complete? Been a while since I last read up on it. Last I heard, the whole idea of it being a mixed-income neighborhood wasn't too successful. The market rate units aren't selling, even though it looks pretty and is a great location with amenities, it is still perceived as public housing by most people, and no one wants to pay market rate to live in public housing… The mixed use portion is a disaster. I don’t think any of the storefronts along Linn are occupied currently. Here's the thread on it, if you're interested: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,1743.120.html
