August 9, 200618 yr Shoot! I definitely should have known that one - we've got Fort View Place on CincinnatiRoads.com - it's our shortest street thus far! (Direct link to Fort View Place clip with this view in it)
August 9, 200618 yr The Cincinnati Kid's a little slow on the draw, so I'm going to steal this dance...but please feel free to jump back in with a good trivia photo whenever you like!
August 10, 200618 yr Yes, indeed - very well done! It's Daniel Drake Park, from which I took this fall foliage shot on October 25th, 2004: So, it's up to you or The Cincinnati Kid for the next one!
August 10, 200618 yr Oh...i don't have any pictures of my own, nor do i know how to post, so i'll just let The Cincinnati Kid post the next one.
August 10, 200618 yr Well, let me give another here...anyone else can certainly feel free to post trivia here too!
August 10, 200618 yr Indeed - it's been being rehabbed for a while now - and man, did it ever need it. This shot was taken from Nassau. Crazy, crazy retaining wall - it's just a shear wall. There's maybe a three foot walkway between the house and the edge of the wall...I showed this place to my grandpa, and he said, "well, you better not come home drunk!" You have a shot you can post for us?
August 10, 200618 yr I do and I'll post after lunch. (Off to a meeting.) We made an offer on one of those townhouse on Alpine down the street. We didn't get it . . .
August 10, 200618 yr Ok, this may be too easy again . . . There are clues . . . And no fair looking at very old threads.
August 10, 200618 yr Yay, I won one... Here is mine: (I am looking for the neighborhood this is located in)
August 11, 200618 yr I take it, the photo is too hard. It was from the Northside. Here is another one:
August 11, 200618 yr That's not on McMicken, is it? (Where was the earlier one taken from? That's a cool shot...)
August 12, 200618 yr Eden Park: Gateway at the entrance to the old Water Works reservoir near the intesection of Martin Drive and Parkside Place, Mt. Adams.
August 12, 200618 yr ^You've got it! As an added bonus, here's the bird's eye view per Monte's request! The red arrow is pointing to the stone gateway in the pictures above: John, you're up!
August 12, 200618 yr I just happened on it by accident one day on a walk...for me, that's the most direct route to Mt. Adams and its hills (which were my target!), and I walked past it and thought, "what the hell is David Baker Pass?" Actually, I posted this shot in 2004, one of my earliest photo threads: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=1557.0 That thread has a link to a Cincinnati Parks Department newsletter that says David Baker Pass was opened in 1914, before Martin Drive was put in...David Baker was the Public Works Director.
August 13, 200618 yr Well, to keep things going, I'm going to put another up here - but John, please feel free to post a trivia photo at will - you nailed a tough one!
August 13, 200618 yr Hmm...this is just guesswork, but it's a hilly neighborhood - but the broken window and window AC unit means it's not Columbia-Tusculum or Mt. Adams...low fence, which I don't seem to remember in Mt. Auburn (though I could definitely be way wrong on that)...so I'm going with Price Hill?
August 13, 200618 yr That building, or one that looks a whole lot like it, is on Wheeler St. in Clifton Hts.
August 13, 200618 yr Hey, look at Kendall! Even nailed the street! I went to the auditor's page and searched 2318 Wheeler:
August 13, 200618 yr Nice work, but is it Clifton Heights or Fairview? I know overall it doesn't matter because they are both part of "CUF" but I am just curious.
August 13, 200618 yr The auditor's site helpfully explains that it's in CUF...I think either Grasscat or ColDay (or both) had some street divider they referenced at some point for those, maybe?
August 13, 200618 yr The reason why I ask is because I have it listed as the sub-neighborhood of Fairview under CUF. Anyway, Kendall you are up.
August 13, 200618 yr Wheeler is in the Clifton Heights portion of CUF. Fairview does not begin until the west side of Ravine St.
August 13, 200618 yr Unfortunately, my library of Cincinnati photos is not nearly as extensive as I would like.
August 13, 200618 yr Unfortunately, my library of Cincinnati photos is not nearly as extensive as I would like. Only one way to fix that problem! Take pictures and post them! Unfortunately, I don't know which park that is...
August 14, 200618 yr Someone feel free to go next. I'm another one who doesn't have any photos,but I love playing this game. What a great idea for a thread.
