Posted May 27, 200619 yr most around Central Parkway... no real theme, just (hopefully) some fun shots.. always accurate - twice a day :( steps.... sorry I had never really noticed this look down Central Avenue before... somebody give me a million dollars - I AM IN LOVE I hope you don't mind - just some misc. shots I thought I'd dump out tonight (I'm bored) from my office during a nasty storm these guys are in the tent business (seriously) a famous urbanohioite doin' good work outside/inside can't you read! this poor fellow died one of the few (only one I think BallHatGuy said) remaining goodbye Mr. Dragon a curious addition to the back of this same building I keep telling my Republican friends that going right is dangerous! :-D good bye from OTR - the most colorful 'hood in town urbanohio - FOREVER
May 27, 200619 yr You really have to wonder why the second floor of this crappy building has razor wire around it!
May 27, 200619 yr cool That veterans memorial used to have names on metal plaques on it. Doubtless stolen & sold as scrap to support someones vice. This Family Dollar is one of the few new developments I have seen in this area in years.
May 27, 200619 yr Pope- There was a giant mural of a dragon downtown covering the whole side of a building and they painted over it.
May 27, 200619 yr OTRFan...is...A WHITE MAN!!!!!!! *GASPS*!!!! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
May 27, 200619 yr ^^ LMAO!! and that surprises you, why? :-D :-D (oh, and thanks for not throwing in "old") going.... going..... GONE
May 27, 200619 yr I remember seeing that building during the meet last Saturday. It's looking very good.
May 27, 200619 yr I miss the dragon too. I miss him so much that I've changed my avatar in his honor. Another great set of pics, OTRFAN. Your threads have a lot of soul.
May 29, 200619 yr You really have to wonder why the second floor of this crappy building has razor wire around it! I about fell out of my chair when I read this one.....this is quite an interesting situation :lol: :lol: :lol:
May 29, 200619 yr Where is the Mohawk Honor Roll? (Wonderful thread yet again, as always! You cracker.)
May 29, 200619 yr I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the amount of amazing architecture in OTR and the state of the neighborhood. For the love of god, let's get it fixed up!
May 29, 200619 yr Does anyone remember seeing the plaques on this momument. It MAY be possible that I recall seeing them maybe around 1990? What is so telling to me is the 'locality' (must be a better word) of this momument. While I'm sure there are larger Cincinnati wide veterans momuments, it is interesting that this little sub-area of town felt so much community that they created their own tribute to their own boys. It really is touching to me. It says so much about how Cincinnati is really a city of little towns. These monuments are at the intersection of Ravine and McMicken Rds. almost at McMicken. Mohawk Rd is very near also. this is on the same site what gets me about this - is I can't figure out a way to get up to the 2nd floor! maybe it's meant to keep something from ESCAPING ! YIKES
May 29, 200619 yr Cool - thank you! I've started working (very, very slowly) on a gallery of as many of Cincinnati's War Memorials as possible...actually, this thread discusses the locations of various memorials - maybe you can add to the list!
May 29, 200619 yr You're welcome. There was actually a wreath there this week and someboday keeps it mowed and cleaned up. There is one on Ezzard Charles about half way between I-75 and Music Hall on the south side. Again, it is dedicated to the fallen from just around the Laurel, Lincoln Park area, it's not even a half mile from the Mohawk one! There is a Marines Memorial not far from the Lincoln statue in Lytle Park. I have it in my "public art and statuary" thread. Let me know if you need more detail. I'm not sure of any others in the CBD or OTR at the moment. (of course Memorial Auditorium itself stands as a memorial to veterans, etc.)
January 29, 201015 yr The 9th one down, the one with the people painted in the windows...where is that?
