Posted October 10, 201113 yr Welcome. Today's tour starts in May with a look at the Pea, which belongs to OTR celebrities Michael and Holly Redmond. We then progress to Mount Auburn's Walker Street (the best street in that neighborhood), with a sign, some backyard cool, a beautiful bench, and a look toward Sycamore Street. Fast forward to mid-August, during an open house at OTR's Saengerhalle at Race and 14th streets. Here we see a little blight, an available office space, a homeless man sleeping on a bench relocated from Washington Park, some oldness, some construction, and a cool ass light fixture. Then, back to Walker Street for some resident-led landscaping cool. Next, back to OTR. Here is a sign for Taste of Belgium, in the old Gateway Quarter leasing office, before it opened. Then up to the top floor of the Gateway Condos for some neighborhood shots. A shot of City Hall is included. Finally, Mount Adams, and a trip to City View Tavern. Some great views to be had there. This, like all of my posts, is all over the place. Deal with it. See 4,270 photographs of Cincinnati and its neighborhoods here 1.

October 11, 201113 yr I also know that fewer people look at my photos because, well, they forget how much of a UO legend I used to be, and, also, because I NEVER look at anyone else's shots. For the latter I apologize, I'm just never on this forum anymore.
October 11, 201113 yr I actually prefer the QCS shot to the latter downtown one. I love glass skyscrapers against brick midrises. :P
October 11, 201113 yr I'll have a splendid photo of Great American Tower posted soon. It's already my desktop.
October 11, 201113 yr Awesome shots! You SHOULD come around more often just to post your photos! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 19, 201213 yr Once a legend, always a legend! Your photos are pro-quality, always excellent both in content and composition. I always enjoy them.
February 23, 201213 yr Always enjoy seeing good photos of my favorite Ohio city. Keep 'em coming, please!
February 23, 201213 yr #23.... imagine how much cleaner that scene would look if those utilities were buried. Instead I'm reminded of a slum in New Delhi or something: http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/21864/photos/PHOTO_8103256_21864_3955394_ap.jpg

February 24, 201213 yr Yes, and it contributes to the general ugliness of America. Maybe Delhi is an extreme example, but there's no reason to be an apologist for disgusting overhead wires. It's a paradigm we never should have accepted.

It's a paradigm we never should have accepted. Hahaha...I DARE you to go to Brady Street in Milwaukee and say something about their overhead wires being ugly. People there LOVE them and every time the city tries to bury them people freak out exclaiming how it will ruin the aesthetic of the street. I worked on Brady and Farwell for 4 years and every year it's the same battle. Personally...I LOVE overhead wires. Here's a shot of Brady Street. These powerlines will never be buried: As for Oregon Street in Mt Adams.... I'm not sure it fits the character of the neighborhood, but I really don't mind them.
