Posted October 14, 200618 yr From my new office digs on the 17th floor of the Kroger building. Stare out of the window for 5 minutes, work for 5 minutes.... repeat OTR and general area Former and current school buildings Former and current breweries Hallelujah! That right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise thats troubleproof And if this old world starts a getting you down Theres room enough for two Up on the roof... up in them thar hills... this-n-that used to make shoes here used to sell stuff here dream a little dream with me...... peace from the most colorful 'hood in town
October 14, 200618 yr Wow...how do you get anything done at work? Just phenomenal... Say, weren't you supposed to start working somewhere suburban by now? Did you get a reprieve?
October 14, 200618 yr Sweet shots man! Shows just how far OTR has come, how it's going, and how far we still have to go.
October 14, 200618 yr You have a fantastic eye. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 14, 200618 yr Riv. - move to Blue Ash is progressing more slowly than planned, looks like April '07 for our group now. until then.. I will enjoy this view! thanks all
October 14, 200618 yr The sentence was stayed, not commuted...sorry to hear that, but very happy you're still downtown!
October 15, 200618 yr I'm envious as heck. I don't even have a window in my office. Must be distracting though. I'm sure that upsets you no end. :wink: The density in OTR is amazing. Great series of shots. Thanks for taking a break from work and treating us. :-D
October 17, 200618 yr Very Nice, all I have is a sliver of a window on the 2nd floor over looking Court St. Even then its through a bunch of server racks. :-(
October 17, 200618 yr I finally went from an inside room with a door facing a blank wall in the hallway, and now have a view of the drive between parking lots in our offices here in Blue Ash. Past the driveway, I have some hedges and the ass end of a one-story warehouse. And I have to keep the blinds partially closed or the whole room bakes, and the HVAC guys get pissed...gah. But at least I can see the weather...
October 18, 200618 yr aww wow how cool. bonus you can keep track of all the rehabs. can you do this again when it snows?
October 21, 200618 yr fascinating perspectives of my favorite place in Ohio (besides the many Tim Horton's locations)
October 21, 200618 yr aww wow how cool. bonus you can keep track of all the rehabs. can you do this again when it snows? WILL DO! I stare at those rehabs at 12th & Vine all day. It is amazing to see them come back online, restoring them to their former glory. They are strong and SIGNIFICANT buildings. I will keep an eye on them and can't wait until the first snow. There is such character in this little area - it represents everything Cincy could be. Thanks for the comments all - I know I am lucky to have this vantage point and will take all the shots I can while it lasts.
