Posted September 6, 200816 yr This is for you Jmeck & UncleRando!! :wink: Most of these pics were taken along the Harrison Ave which is one of Green's three main commercial/retail corridors. (Glenway, Harrison Ave, and North Bend) I would love to know how much has been spent for retaining walls near the 74 interchange. Included is some shots of the reconfiguration of Rybolt and the Holiday Inn Express remodel near I-74. (I personally think they did a great job bringing an old outdated piece of crap back to life at least.) Lowes opened in the spring and they are building a Huntington Bank nextdoor. One at the end is a shot of the new addition of the Cheviot Elementary School (CPS) http://www.greentwp.org/ Area - Total 27.9 sq mi (72.2 km²) - Land 27.9 sq mi (72.2 km²) - Water 0.0 sq mi (0.0 km²) Elevation [1] 892 ft (272 m) Population (2000) - Total 55,660 (This is now closer to 60,000.) - Density 1,997.3/sq mi (771.2/km²) Located in the west central part of the county, it borders the following townships and city: Colerain Township - north Cincinnati - east Delhi Township - south Miami Township - west Two cities occupy what was once part of Green Township: Cheviot in the east center, and Cincinnati, the county seat of Hamilton County, in the east and southeast. Nearly all of the remainder of the township is part of one of the following census-designated places: Bridgetown North, in the center Covedale, in the south Dent, in the northwest Mack North, in the west Mack South, in the southwest Monfort Heights East, in the east Monfort Heights South, in the center, between Bridgetown North and Montfort Heights East White Oak East, in the northeast White Oak West, in the north The township encompasses 27.9 sq mi (72.3 km²) of gently rolling hills above the Ohio river basin northwest of downtown Cincinnati. As of 1990, over 50% of the township's area has been was converted to urban use, largely as a suburb of Cincinnati; 38% is classed as forested, and 11% as farmland. The township was originally held intact by John Cleves Symmes, with the apparent intent of naming it as the academy township for his purchase. In 1802 a court order awarded half the township to one of his Miami Company investors, Elias Boudinot. This became part of the disputes over the entire Symmes Purchase. The township is named after Nathaniel Greene, General in the Revolutionary War. The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township clerk, who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the clerkship or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees. Try to Enjoy!! Manchester Plaza Built in the 60's or 70's but recladded within the past couple years. Never has had a good vacancy rate but is filled more now than in the past that I can remember. Legacy Place is supposed to be built across the street from this someday!!! We'll see! New Lowes opened in the spring. New Huntington Bank Get your barf bags ready! Beacon West. (respectable!) Huff Realtors. I hate this building. Reminds me too much of Union Center Blvd. Holiday Inn Express from Beacon West lot Got PARKING??????????????? This 3.2 mp does no justice for the shear size of this wall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New Rybolt Rd reconfig. Believe me. This thing was alot worse and this IS a much welcomed update! This will be the view from the new Rybolt. More Rybolt!! New addition to Cheviot Elementary.
September 6, 200816 yr Oy. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
September 6, 200816 yr I can imagine people who live there rightfully wondering why the hell you were taking pictures. Seeing it in this perspective really emphasizes the embarrassing crap that is spread over a lot of our country.
September 6, 200816 yr ^LOL! Yup. Thank god for the topography, the limited access (via interstates) , and the sewers that Jmeck speaks of!!! This is a mess, but it has been slow to develop unlike our neighbor townships north of the city. The 74 interchange has been there for what 40 or so years. It was all woods and hillsides 7-8 years ago. Obviously, that makes no difference now! The rest of the township and the bulk of the residential (first gen houses and the suburb/rural area out West Fork and Bridgetown.) has kept that small town feel to it. Those houses range from 200K plus. Bridgetown (more so) and Monfort Heights/White Oak are the "closest thing" to a walkable area of the township that many of us look for in a neighborhood. Most of these homes run from 100K to 200K. I live in Bridgetown but can walk to Cheviot or the Western Hills Plaza area (Westwood) in 10-15 minutes. The Oak Hills School District is the biggest asset and draw for about 75-80 percent of the township. 7 years in the states Excellent category. :wink2: Highlander 4 life!
September 6, 200816 yr Thanks for the photos, I moved to Annapolis, and I really was wondering how the painfully slow Rybolt project was progressing. Great photos of a depressing commercial strip!
September 7, 200816 yr Good thing they didn't let those wooded hillsides get in the way of progress. Needs more parking. Former Highlander here, by the way.
September 8, 200816 yr Thanks for these photos. The Holiday Inn Express renovation is a great improvement, but that's just about the only decent thing happening in that area.
