Free Trees: Releaf 2007

Duke Energy and Cincinnati Parks are sponsoring a program to provide free trees throughout the city. I know this isn’t strictly for Price Hill residents, but I’m not sure if there are any local restrictions. I’m only aware of the main stipulation, that the trees be planted within 30 feet of and visible from the sidewalk.

Applications are due Friday, so if you are interested quickly fax or email the application.

News Roundup: TIFs and Streetscapes, Local Artwork and No Barge Terminal?!

Here’s the roundup…

Kevin covered the TIFs and Streetscape story that affects Price Hill among other Cincinnati neighborhoods. Basically there will delays in the various projects since the districts must be amended.

This Sunday, September 16th, Price Hill Will and the Price Hill Historical Society are hosting a reception to celebrate artwork created by several local students. The event is from 1pm to 2pm at the 3640 Warsaw Ave.

Great news came yesterday regarding the proposed barge terminal development in Lower Price Hill. City Council’s economic development committee passed a motion barring negotiations with any industry for use of the property and stated that a 90 day period be observed to consider other options. It’s about time.

I’ve been checking out a “new” web-2.0-social-bookmarking-news-aggregating site outside.in. It’s no reason to jump up and down, but it’s interesting to see articles gathered together and many local blogs on a map (I’m still a bit confused how all of the got there). It would probably be cooler if Cincinnati was one of the bloggiest cities in America, but I’ll say we’re shooting for quality not quantity.

Preface for Future Post (and Off Topic Notes)

Since the start of Price Hill Blog I’ve debated if I should post news regarding Price Hill, save room for user commentary and leave it at that, or, chime in with my opinion and make that the conversation starter, rather than the news item itself.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I find my comments most interesting–granted they are my thoughts.  Isn’t this really the nature of a blog?  Otherwise, I’m just filtering various newspapers, blogs and other media sources into a digestible stream for a niche audience.  So, in the future look forward to more commentary on my part (when time and reason permits.)

Todays earlier post has inspired me for a more in depth explanation of how $500,000 isn’t really a great thing for Price Hill.   I’ll post it shortly.

On another note, I have various ideas and segments I’m working on for the blog so stay tuned.

Another couple notes that are way off topic…

Lately I tried a (new?) Thai restaurant in Western Hills, Thai Taste.  It’s located on Crookshank, near Applebee’s and O’Charley’s.  This isn’t Price Hill, but it’s close.  The menu includes plenty of entre choices and at least two pages of sushi rolls.  This is the only place on the west side I know of that serves Sushi.  If I’m wrong please comment below.  The building doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I was impressed with the food.  Both the Chicken Pad Thai and sushi choices I ordered were great.  I would rate the food somewhere between Thai Express in Clifton, and Teak in Mt. Adams or Thai Cafe in Clifton.
Also, over the weekend I dropped by Findlay market to hang out, get some food and taste the new Christian Moerlein Fifth & Vine Oktoberfest Marzen.  It’s excellent!
