Smale Riverfront Park Spring 2013 Construction Update - YouTube


This park is turning out awesome. Once done we'll have one and a half miles of continuous riverfront parks, which will only extend if the Western Riverwalk project gets built.

Congrats to Senate for making awesome hot dogs! Number 13 in the list is alright.

America's best hot dogs

Good press for Cincy and OTR.

Worst Neighborhoods Violent Crime in the U.S. - ABC News

The "Over the Rhine" neighborhood of Cincinnati likewise has dropped from the 25-worst, he says. It too, has been gentrified, he says. Schiller calls that neighborhood's transformation "a wonderful story."

Dang even ABC news is saying good things about over the rhine.

That was a joke when a small portion of Over-the-Rhine was included in the "worst neighborhoods" list. Once I learned about their methodology, I completely stopped taking that list seriously. Which is generally true of most lists measuring hard-to-measure things. However, they need to actually use neighborhoods and not arbitrarily-drawn boundaries that suit them.

I remember that too, and thought it was a joke. I don't take the lists seriously at all, but it is nice to see OTR get positive press.

Work starts on Clifton grocery

Construction to turn the old Clifton IGA into an updated neighborhood grocery is really, truly under way after many months of delays.

Workers began removing the roof of the 29,000-square-foot Ludlow Avenue building this morning and will put on a new one as soon as that’s done, said Mike Ruwe, project manager for Reece-Campbell.

The Gaslight Market will be completed by mid-September, Ruwe estimated.

^ Yes, "the construction" finally begins, but what, exactly, will be the results of this long-awaited Clifton Gas Light addition? Many, many people (my wife and myself included) recall what the best of Keller's IGA was before its inglorious demise--and we expect nothing less as its replacement. ( Please consider this another one of such "benevolent" warnings and advice, Goessling!)

Keller's did have a decent selection. We shopped there before it closed down, not too long after we moved here.

That was such a massive blow to Clifton, and completely out of the blue. The whole thing is rather depressing. I'm not sure whether the eye-roll inducing Goessling fiasco has made things better or worse. If he didn't have claim to the space, might someone else have done something with it by now?
