Isaac Foust from Nature’s Garden Delivered talked about his unique Cincinnati-area business, the importance of local agriculture, and sustainable business practices. Randy Simes and I commented on the latest plans for the Brent Spence Bridge, the Queensgate Terminals proposal, extended hours at Findlay Market, and the criticisms of Chris Smitherman coming from activists in town.

Good thing I wasn't there.  The call from Mark Miller was ridiculous.  To a person, the streetcar opponents are either uninformed or intentionally misinforming the public.

well Randy, that was frustrating to say the least.  I am sure you would like another swipe at the guy. 

It's hard to talk with anyone who refuses to answer any question with a direct response.

Rumor has it that Mark Miller might be in the studio for tomorrow's show.  If so, I will gladly accept callers... I know a few of you here might have questions/comments for him. :)

Mark Miller probably won't be here today, but give us a call anyway.

Oh god, Shadow Hare. I think it is someone who populates this board.

Oh God...its you isn't it Sherman?!?  I knew it.

I already own a collection of spandex and polyester outfits for cycling. Maybe?

^So I guess Elizabeth didn't end up calling in to talk about the UrbaNexus event then?

No, I didn't get a chance to call her before the show started and I didn't get any calls during the live show.

Interesting... when will the people be out to make cincinnati safe.. Advertise that on the radio show. I heard that last month OTR was ranked as being the most dangerous area in the country. A 25% chance of being a victim of a crime...

Not sure if you're referring to something we said in the latest episode?  As for the report claiming that part of OTR is the most dangerous neighborhood in the country, we covered that on the June 24th episode

Oh ok.. So has there been any brainstorming on curving that? Last time I was in OTR a prostitute tried to get in my car.. It could be a nice area if something was done but until then it gives cincinnati a bad rep.

Yes, quite a bit is being done to clean up OTR.  Increased police patrols, millions of dollars of investment into rehabbing historic buildings, new businesses opening up, new apartments and condos, new schools, beautification and streetscaping projects, cleaning up Washington Park and possibly relocating the drop-in center for the homeless.  It's unfortunate that you had a bad experience there.  I've never had a problem there. Several other people on this forum spend much more time in OTR than I do (or live there) and have also not had problems.

I too have never had any issues while in OTR.  People see things differently and also may bring things on themselves could be the cause. 

When I had my incident I was in my new sportscar so maybe something thinking I could give money away freely because I had a nice car was the problem.  Hmm

I've been in BMW 7-series, with the top down and we've never been prostituted.

 

Now, on my bike, many times yes but it has become almost comical. And it's always been on McMicken near Lynn.

The 7-series doesn't come in a convertible, maybe the 6-series?

We discuss news on the Moerlein Lager House, UC’s new president, a new Neon’s, the NuTone site in Madisonville, and yesterday’s Issue 9 debate.  Shawn Hesse joins us to talk about the Office of Environmental Quality and expanded recycling in Cincinnati.  Lisa Desatnik talks to us about the Old West Festival.

I would love to see a show on the connections that Cincinnati is putting in place to connect businesses located in this area with suppliers and markets in China and other countries.  Cincinnati has a dynamic small business community that is really global but it's not talked up much.

Do you know of any particular local businesses with these types of connections, or efforts by the city to put them in place?  This would be a great topic for the show but I'm not sure where to look for more information.

 

 

There is a European-focused business crowd that is somewhat associated with the Chamber of Commerce - they would be a good resource to make those connections I'd guess.

Thank you very much for the positive mention. There was a question on your show as to where the money was coming from for Neon's Unplugged and the answer is, in large part, our own pockets. We already have all of the equiptment provided by another member of the community to outfit the entire bar, both inside and out. We will have favorable lease concessions and all and all we are looking to keep the cost of entry as low as possible, not by being cheap, but by allowing the space to speak for itself vs massive tennant improvement cost. Ongoing cost and maintance in the inside portion will be self funded by the proceeds of the bar which the principles of the company will initially forego for themeselves. In addition, much of the initial cost on new concepts are spent in defining and locating the venue, we are able to cut those cost through aquiring both a known name and known location. Two events are in the planning stages now that will also provide some seed money to next springs opening.

 

Thanks again for the mention.

Weedrose & dmerkow -- Thanks for the info.  I'll look into this.

 

Michael -- Thanks for the clarification.  Love this project, can't wait to see how it turns out.
