Title: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 04, 2004, 08:11:31 PM http://urbanohio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1236
Check it out. It was done by the same firm that won the bid for the Ground Zero redevelopment. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Arrrhalomynn on October 05, 2004, 12:27:01 AM It looks kinda cool, but of course you never know untill it's actually built.
Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 05, 2004, 05:24:41 AM That thing would look better in almost any city besides Covington (or Cincinnati for that matter). This city just doesn't take buildings like that well. And, are you surprised that they're building it in Covington rather than Cincy? I'm not.
Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Izret101 on October 05, 2004, 06:38:53 AM It looks more like a piece of modern art than a building but it doesnt look bad.
It's cool that it has the little garden things on top. But that maskes it look like a strange mountain like object i the pictures. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 05, 2004, 07:24:55 AM I think the chances of this being built are fairly promising. It is, after all, across the river, and they seem to get things done. The reason the last proposal for that site failed is that they were in a legal dispute over who owned the land. However, the suite just came to a close, so this has a good chance of going up. Plus, the market is about right for another tower, most of the newly redeveloped condos in downtown have already been sold.
Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 05, 2004, 11:24:45 AM Ok. Its official. (Damn, no wonder stuff gets done in Northern Kentucky. The thing is already approved!) Construction to srart in April.

until someone steps in for luken it will stay that way. the damn city just loves to pussy foot around with shit. who do you think will get river gambling boats first? or a light rail system first? Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 05, 2004, 05:33:26 PM gambling boats: indiana
light rail: technically Cincinnati has already started... That will be a regional project. But the first rail line in the current plan would go from downtown to the airport - so I guss that means NKY gets it first. Part of the problem is size. Newport's and Covington's governments are a lot smaller, and there is a lot less overhead associated with either. They are more nimble and able to get things to happen like this with much less debate. Although, City Hall could use a little kick in the ass. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: shadytool on October 05, 2004, 05:44:21 PM you dont like the gambling boats on the river?
what would be the down side of it? and i'm not talking about right out in front of the stadiums or anything. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 05, 2004, 06:32:23 PM No, I have no problem with casinos or the gambling boats. In fact, I think Ohio is crazy not to let them open up in Cincinnati. I was just pointing out that they already exist in Indiana, so it doesn't really matter if Ohio or Kentucky gets them next, people already have the option. Light rail, they have no option.
Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: shadytool on October 05, 2004, 08:23:36 PM yeah indiana has the boats. i have HAD to go to indiana to gamble.
notice i said that i HAD to go to indiana. there are alot of ppl in the nati that would rather stay in their own city and gamble and go out for a good time. we should get them before newport or covington so we are still placing catch up to them. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 06, 2004, 08:45:59 AM Well, I cant gamble yet, so it isn't an inconvenience for me. But, I woule much rather see Cincinnati with riverboats than Newport of Covington with them.

"what's round on the ends and high in the middle? O-HI-O" Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Lord Nepenthean on October 06, 2004, 11:00:33 AM Quote Part of the problem is size.  Newport's and Covington's governments are a lot smaller, and there is a lot less overhead associated with either.  They are more nimble and able to get things to happen like this with much less debate.  Although, City Hall could use a little kick in the ass.  They also don't do things like spend almost a billion dollars on two stadiums for two teams that STILL suck. Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: shadytool on October 06, 2004, 11:09:01 AM lol thanks for pointing that out den
it couldnt be truer (if that is a word) ;) Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: Hydrobond on October 06, 2004, 11:53:09 AM Quote the thing that frightens me is that there is actually a message board forum dedicated to Ohio.

Title: Re: Look whats coming to the Cincinnati Riverfront Post by: den68 on October 09, 2004, 05:27:28 PM good point. who the hell needs something like that?
