This question is kind of irrelevant right now (in RE: to Cincy), since Cincy has a new 700-footer UC as we speak. There will soon also be multiple ~30 story buildings being built right in front of DT.

Maybe or maybe not.  I repeat....how is that related to the argument? And how does Hillside's comparison of CLEVELAND to Atlanta or Chicago have any bearing on Cincinnati's reputation?

Wake up, Cincy-Rise....you're dreaming again. QCS2 is NOT going to be a 700-footer. It will only be 660'...unless plans have changed and the public hasn't been told.
And multiple 30-story buildings in front of DT? Highly doubtful. Do you have a link to back that up? People complained about that possibility, and last I heard the developers lowered the building heights for the plans. |

Misquote me why don't ya! I said you don't have an array of TALL buildings.
Off topic, but Cincy people are so annoying. No matter where I go - they are so egocentric it amazes me. WHO DEY WHO DEY. gtfo |

I'm not a mathmetician aquila, but I did have lasik eye surgery and I can count to 10.
I don't know, you tell me what this looks like ...
Actually, can you draw up an image showing height benchmarks? I'd like to compare it to this one. Basically, can you do better I guess is what I'm asking ...

Ditto my above statement.
Anyway, it doesn't take looking at some image to find out the building is only going to be 660' high. I thought it was common knowledge among urban enthusiasts by now. Don't you go to urbanohio.com anymore? Don't visit skyscraperpage.com? Have you not read the press releases about these projects? Have you searched for information that is available on the internet?
Just a few random sites from around the 'net:

Why? Because you want it to be? It's CLEARLY not going to be 700', Cincy-Rise. You're looking at a FLAWED representation created by a member over at urbanohio.com. It's based on HIS own attempts of measuring the building....NOT the official stats that have been given for the project. It's going to be 660'. Deal with it.
You need to SERIOUSLY learn to face facts and accept that you're NOT always right about things, Cincy-Rise. You know, I actually pity you now. You tried your DAMNDEST to make me look like I didn't know what the hell I was talking about regarding West Chester - even to the extent of making a childish snide remark in response to learning I am a gay man living in West Chester - and now when I point out VERIFIABLE FACTS to you, you crawl back into some dream state in an attempt to STILL prove you are right somehow.
And people tell me I'M the one that needs help...?? |

What are you talking about? Too bad for Carew Tower what? What happened to Carew Tower? Do you mean because it's no longer going to be the tallest in the city? So what? Why does that suddenly diminish Cincinnati's skyline? |
