April 28Apr 28 City of Cincinnati to reevaluate hillside developmentsexpandCincinnati City HallCorrie Schaffeld | CBCBy Chris Wetterich – Staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business CourierApr 28, 2025The city of Cincinnati has launched an effort to reevaluate what kind of development can occur on its many hillsides.The city’s planning and buildings departments, along with the Hillside Trust, have launched the initiative. The city describes it as a “comprehensive effort to evaluate and assess the city’s hillside building and zoning codes to ensure that future developments are safe, responsible and are handled with precision and care.”Nearly 20% of the city’s land area sits on a hillside with a slope of 20% or more. The city has some limits today on which hillsides can be built upon and what can be built there. Concern has grown in recent years about such construction as the region has been pelted more frequently with single-event rainfall that is supposed to occur once every 100 years or less.MORE

May 21May 21 Many years ago, maybe 1974, friends took me to this brewery site. The cellars had been opened for some reason, and I think we got beer. I know we drank alcohol, but it could have been wine too. It was a neat thing to do—all those steps were much like Grammar's.

May 27May 27 The Andre the Giant stickers are making a comeback around Cincinnati...I just saw one on the 4th St. Bridge over the Licking River:Graffiti guys have been stenciling the circa-1998 "obey" face around town lately, most notably near the subway portal. The stickers date from the early 1990s. They came to Cincinnati relatively early because someone at St. X high school had an older brother who knew Shepard Fairey when they were both at RISD.
