Back From Vacation

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  I went east to visit family for about a week and came back to mountain of work.

Here are a few bits and pieces that have been in the mix since my last post:

  • Join the Westwood Concern and Price Hill Civic Club on Monday November 5th from 7-8:30p at Price Hill Chili to thank Captain Raabe for his service at District 3.  Captain Raabe is leaving District three after 7+ years of service to the community.
  • Friday, October 26th is another Good Guy Loitering date.  Meet at St. Lawrence around 7:30.
  • I hate to link to the spawn of satan (i.e. MySpace) but the Warsaw Project Gallery, an art gallery located on Warsaw Avenue (at Hawthorne Ave), has both a web page and a MySpace profile.  The Enquirer mentioned it recently.  Unfortunately my post is about a week late so anyone interested has to wait until next month to visit the gallery.
  • At the last EPHIA meeting the proposal to make the property currently occupied by Whittier School available to District 3 was mentioned.  District 3 has been interested in a new building and more parking for quite a while.  Kevin has more on the development at Building Cincinnati.

That’s it for now.

Someone Beat Me To It: West 8th & Elberon Ave.

Published at October 4, 2007 in Development, Media and The Press. 2 Comments

I was wondering if this had made it to the media yet.

I have heard very impressive plans for the building at the corner of West 8th & Elberon Ave but wasn’t sure how many people were in the loop.  The Business Courier apparently wrote about it back on September 21st and I missed it.  It’s possible I missed it elsewhere too.

This is one of the most exciting projects to date.  When I was in grade school I remember walking to the corner store located in the bottom of that building with neighborhood friends.  Over the years it had gradually declined into a hang out for thugs and lost appeal as a safe and convenient neighborhood store.  The building itself is beautiful and could serve as a perfect icon for the neighborhood.  A significant amount of traffic passes that corner in the early morning and late afternoon.  Let’s hope this gains much support with the community.  I believe it will be the topic at October’s EPHIA meeting.

Oh, did I mention the land across the street is for sale?  Now it’s for sale at a hefty $325,000; much too high considering you would need a few properties on the side and the last tenant was an auto mechanic which probably left some contamination to clean up.  But, there isn’t a better place for a real coffee (read “espresso”) shop in Price Hill.  It’s on the right side of the road perfect for the morning commuters heading downtown.

…now I’m off for my morning run.

Rehabbing Olive

Published at October 3, 2007 in Blog, Cincinnati Suburbs, Local Blogs, Places, Price Hillians and Props. 0 Comments

Anyone interested in following an East Price Hill home being rehabbed should check out the Room 113 blog. The house is 961 Olive Ave. It’s very near to the planned new Kroger store on Enright and Warsaw.

It’s fun reading, considering I’m doing the same thing. I can relate to certain aspects, such as the City of Cincinnati Sanitation Department not taking all of my garbage.

I plan on posting pictures of my “project” in the future.

I’ve added Room 113 to my blog role.
