^ Oh, Lord no!  I just pulled into the parking lot to take the pics.

 

I have still never spent a dollar at Rookwood.

Not even Ghetto Rookwood?  BW3's or Joseph Beth's or Longhorn?

The thing is it's not in the city of cincinnati though. Even the center of cincinnati is not in the city it's self.

The "Center of Cincinnati" is in Oakley, in the City of Cincinnati.

Nope.

Water caps thriving project

Norwood pushed for feature at Cornerstone office park

By Steve Kemme Enquirer staff writer

 

The most eye-catching feature of the Cornerstone at Norwood office complex off Interstate 71 will be an 18-foot-high waterfall at the corner of Williams Avenue and Smith Road.  Norwood officials, developers, architects and engineers spent almost two years planning and designing the waterfall. They say it will be unlike any other water feature in Greater Cincinnati.

 

They even plan a special ceremony near the end of September when the water begins cascading down the two slanted stone walls.  But for financially struggling Norwood, the biggest payoff from the $45 million Cornerstone development will come when the complex is completed by the end of the year and the two office buildings are leased.

Spine surgery center planned

By Tim Bonfield Enquirer staff writer

 

The Mayfield Clinic announced plans Friday to build an $11 million spine surgery center at the Cornerstone at Norwood.  But there is debate over whether the doctor-owned project will be good for the community.  The project, which requires approval from the city, envisions a 23,500-square-foot building with two operating rooms and capacity for a third directly across Interstate 71 from the Rookwood Pavilion.

 

It would be the area's first non-hospital surgery center focusing exclusively on spinal services. The center could be open by fall 2006.  "We know that technology is changing rapidly, allowing more and more patients to avoid the intensity of an inpatient hospital stay. We have considered all of this and believe we will offer Cincinnati a service and facility that will be among the most advanced in the country," said Michael J. Gilligan, president and CEO of Mayfield.
