October 5, 201311 yr Hamilton is a great city, thanks for posting Ink! Not a place I would mind ending up someday. Any chance you know what is up with the giant red sculpture? Is it part of Pyramid Hall Sculpture Park?
October 5, 201311 yr Any chance you know what is up with the giant red sculpture? Is it part of Pyramid Hall Sculpture Park? Yes; Pyramid Hill just expanded with the purchase of 70 additional acres, allowing for a new entrance road to be constructed. The 50 foot red sculpture--currently untitled--will act as entryway with clearance for cars and buses.

It will be interesting to go and drive through Pyramid Hill once it is opened up with the new entryway!
October 6, 201311 yr I'd argue Hamilton is probably the healthiest looking smaller city in the state (the Mansfield, Sandusky, Springfield, Middletown, Lorain, Elyria, Steubenville, Lima-type sizes).

October 7, 201311 yr I'd argue Hamilton is probably the healthiest looking smaller city in the state (the Mansfield, Sandusky, Springfield, Middletown, Lorain, Elyria, Steubenville, Lima-type sizes). The only one I would argue that may contest would be Findlay. Although Findlay is almost another city category.
October 7, 201311 yr I'd say Findlay has a healthier downtown core but the neighborhoods didn't seem, well, too intact. Hamilton seems more "complete." "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

Hamilton seems more "complete." yes. the findlay neighborhoods are very scattershot and more on a par with the other cities neighborhoods. that is to say, mostly junky or typical newer stuff and no or very little real historic neighborhood stock like hamilton has.
October 9, 201311 yr I like the houses in Rossville a little better than the Dayton-Campbell historic district, but they're both great. And downtown is definitely on an upswing with the recent residential rehabs.

Although I agree that hamilton seems to have excellent housing stock and neighborhoods, I disagree that findlay doesn't at least have excellent historic neighborhood stock near their southern part of main street with an abundance of large Victorian homes.
November 20, 201311 yr ^Yeah, I think Findlay's Victorian District can hang with Hamilton, and both downtowns are pretty good considering the small size. Overall, I think Hamilton, Findlay, and Sandusky are Ohio's best small urban centers (Sandusky being by far my favorite, but also the most ghetto and abandoned of the three- just so much potential there on the water).
