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.
