Posted June 7, 200421 yr Monday, June 7, 2004 Greenacres wants limits eased -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Should Indian Hill neighbors be disturbed by even genteel music and sedate gatherings? Debate is on By Sheila McLaughlin The Cincinnati Enquirer INDIAN HILL - Other hills might be alive with the sound of music, but not this one - for now. Arts patron Louise Nippert's Greenacres Foundation will ask City Council Tuesday to ease what officials say are excessive restrictions on music and the size and number of events at a proposed cultural arts center on the former estate of philanthropist Julius Fleischmann. Otherwise, a $3 million plan to renovate the picturesque 1927 fieldstone mansion on 600 acres bordered by Blome and Spooky Hollow roads and rent it out for small private and non-profit functions would be foiled, foundation officials said. The property also is home to a working farm that offers 4-H and equestrian classes. An educational center there hosts an area-wide water quality testing program and offers field trips for area school children to learn about conservation, agriculture and horticulture... www.enquirer.com
June 10, 200421 yr I read this on the airplane on Monday. I thought it was a good idea for the estate.
March 29, 200520 yr This appeared in the minutes of the Indian Hill Village Council on June 8, 2004--a day after the article appeared in the paper: Mr. Barrett recalls the one condition that raised the most concern with neighbors was the so called “worst case scenario”. The Greenacres Foundation may be inclined to host a benefit or fund raiser for such organizations as the May Festival or the Symphony Orchestra. A concern was expressed at the Planning Commission meeting about rock concerts or a “Woodstock type” event. The Foundation has agreed that, under no circumstances, would there be more than 1000 people in attendance, and only on a rare occasion, would there be large groups of up to 1000 for outdoor events. WOODSTOCK? These rich folks crack me up. In fact, many of the public comments are pretty funny. You can read them all right here: http://www.ci.indian-hill.oh.us/council/06-08-04.pdf

I guess im not that old maybe we should ask RV, he is so right wing and old he might be able to tell us what woodstock was like and maybe he can even put a kkkaral rove spin on it.
August 11, 200618 yr ^Maybe you're joking with RV and I just don't get it...but I have always found RiverViewer to be insightful, balanced, and intelligent in all his contributions to this board. So unless I am an outsider on an inside joke, I feel your comment was out of line, gaslight.
August 11, 200618 yr gaslight, please keep personal attacks out of it. This is a warning. EDIT: Disregard my last comment. I see that another admin/mod has, well, given you a little break.
August 11, 200618 yr atlas, your rebuttal probably wasn't necessary in this thread, either. But at least you didn't attack him personally.
November 14, 200618 yr From the 10/29/06 Enquirer: Manor gutted for art center, education BY FEOSHIA HENDERSON | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER It's been about 30 years since anyone lived in the expansive stone mansion tucked inside a farm at Blome and Spooky Hollow roads in Indian Hill. Perched at the end of a gravel road, the wear and tear on the 13,000-square-foot manor's interior belies its former splendor. The interior paint has grayed and peeled to expose plaster and wood throughout the dusty house... http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061029/NEWS01/610290416/1056/COL02
