Post a Comment*thank you for reminding us that we are a failing city.
Oooh, that's harsh. Why not call it "Streetcar Named Disaster".
Why would someone want to take a streetcar from the riverfront to Over-the-Rhine? Oh, probably to buy drugs.
Cartoons such as this one only perpetuate the idea that change is impossible.
Not impossible, Cincinnatians just have a nasty nack for perpetuating their follies by complaining and never taking action. We bust be the least proactive city in America. Why not make a petition? Run for office? DO something?!?
People need to stop perpetuating the stereotype that all over-the-rhine is good for is crime and drugs. There is a great deal of art and culture to be experienced in Over-the-Rhine as well. Many new developments and businesses have opened and it is home to the most beautiful apartments in the city. I just moved to Cincinnati and the only growing and developing neighborhood that I found that interested me was in the frequently feared part of downtown. The lofts in Over-the-Rhine are beautiful and feature what is probably the most beautiful architecture in the entire city. Many of my neighbors are normal, hardworking, young urban professionals who are trying to help and bring back this historic part of town. And every friend who visits my apartment wants to move into the building too. Prices are affordable, apartments are large and new and the people are friendly! Yes there is crime, but there is a community too and where is it truly crime free?
Thank you to the person who commented positively about OTR below.
Another huge downfall to the city of cincinnati are the large number of pessimistic, conservative "townies" who have lived here their entire lives and have no real concept of how cities throughout the rest of the world function.
A streetcar to them makes no sense because they think the only form of transportation possible is a gas hogging ford explorer. If you are not planning on coming downtown or using the streetcars, just keep your mouths shut and stay in west chester.
OTR has a real potential to turn in to one of the most amazing urban neighborhoods in the country. With its rich history, amazing architecture and proximity to job centers, OTR could be a completely different place in a matter of 5 years or less.
I sincerely hope the newest revised version of the streetcar plan doesn't take OTR out of the loop completely. That would be the biggest mistake this city could make. The streetcars need to offer stops in OTR for the people that live there so they can make it to either their downtown or uptown destinations.
The success of OTR would be virtually guaranteed in my opinion by have a streetcar line pass through and make stops in OTR on its way uptown and downtown.
That neighborhood deserves the chance to be turned around. Its already well on the way. My wife and I can't wait to move in to our new condo there this may.
