Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm actually kind of excited to try this, even though sweet hotdogs sound gross

Or maybe, I don't know...put a subway in it?

A pair of hotel conversions on Fourth Street won state historic tax credit awards in December 2024 – the conversion of the First National Bank Building and the George F. Otte Carpet Co. Building.

Cincinnati's first Kimpton Hotel, bound for the Traction Building on Walnut Street, is expected to commence construction this year.

The conversion of the Gwynne Building on Main Street is progressing, though the construction timeline is unknown. Structural Systems Repair Group was on-site as of December 2024 tuck pointing, stone patching and replacing limestone.

A corner that has long needed some love put into it. Interesting to see how it ends up.

Under the team's lease with the county, taxpayers would have been entitled to some of the money from the naming rights deal, but the team has told the county it will get nothing.

Back in 2022, if the Bengals sold the naming rights and the net revenue the team received was $60 million or less, the county was entitled to nothing. It was entitled to 30% of revenue above that level.

So basically the team told all of us taxpayers to go fuck ourselves. How nice.

Former is for good, latter is until the building ownership issue clears up.

Quite gnarly out there. I haven't seen this much snow in one go in quite a bit.

Post pics if you got them. And I'd still recommend staying off the roads even now unless you gotta be out. Time for some cocoa and relaxation.

Wasson Way's phase 6B through Xavier University is complete. A portion of phase 6B through Xavier University’s campus has finished construction, running from Montgomery Road to Station Way.

Sure we've lose some restaurants (which always happens) but let's look ahead to see what is coming this year.

Long an eyesore, this building at the SE corner of 4th and Race got tax credits. Sits next to the McAlpin condos (or close to).

I've walked past this so many times and it's always been empty. Would love to see some good use out of it.

First 100 guests get free lunch. Service started December 13. That goes til Dec 20.

Opened in the historic Salmon P. Chase building.

TLDR- maybe remove height restrictions. Somehow this is still contingent on the Bengals approval FYI.

Developer Shree Kulkarni’s current plan to build a new extended-stay hotel in Walnut Hills near the Interstate 71/Martin Luther King Jr. interchange is dead after the Cincinnati Planning Commission voted unanimously Friday, Dec. 6, to reject it.

The planning staff said the project did not align enough with Walnut Hills’ neighborhood plan because it was too auto-oriented, does not line up with the scale of the single-family homes near it and lacked community support.

Crazy how the campus has changed.

Located at 13th and Walnut in OTR. It's the only Ohio restaurant on the list as well.
