Does anyone know the status of Delhi Sunnyside? I know that they experienced serious plumbing problems and had some difficulty getting the landlady to help/finance getting fixed. They have been closed a month now.
I think I saw something on Facebook that they are opening tomorrow?Does anyone know the status of Delhi Sunnyside? I know that they experienced serious plumbing problems and had some difficulty getting the landlady to help/finance getting fixed. They have been closed a month now.
It sucks that that happened, just as they were hitting their stride after a COVID delayed opening. I hope Dina made it up to them.I think I saw something on Facebook that they are opening tomorrow?
Guilty as chargedIronic, this was the same topic those teenagers up at Kings Island got into the fights over. Maybe Sig instigated it.
A photo and background on the Schulte Mansion, which is on the Queen City Tour.Here's an update: The architect of the Schulte Mansion was confirmed to have been Hannaford (yes, that Hannaford, who designed Music Hall, City Hall.....etc.). Cranley has summoned the president of Price Hill Will and the West Price Hill Community Council to his office tomorrow. My hunch is he will put the screws to them and try to get an agreement from them before they can hear from their constituents. By the way, I have heard that Kurt Ruffing was left completely in the dark about this, despite Elder's stake in the neighborhood and I believe that Seton's Cathy Charla may have been in the dark as well, although she may have been tipped off recently as a board member of Price Hill Will.
Cranley, or should I say Cramley, appears to be trying to cram this through.
Who thinks that a Hannaford designed mansion would ever be demolished on the Eastside of town?
Does Price Hill deserve a nice business district of eclectic shops, clubs and restaurants? Cranley, Pete Witte and others say "no", all the while such places are flourishing all over town. Does the Westside deserve to have their historic buildings preserved? Well remember the Gamble Mansion? Cranley, Pete Witte and others appear to say "no".
I'll let you know when I hear what happens tomorrow. I can tell you for sure though, Cranley is using dirty tricks to make sure Price Hill can not compete for market rate housing, attractive businesses and entertainment venues.
I understand, from the research done by Price Hill Will, that it was designed by Samuel Hannaford, who also designed City Hall, the Times Star Building and Music Hall as well as a number of other prominent buildings. I am sorry it is not a style of architecture that you appreciate. I am sure that you will agree that it beats the heck out of the monstrosities imposed on us as the new Carson School or the Boys and Girls Club on Glenway.So what is the significance of this home/building other than its age?
It's always looked like an eye sore to me.
I am told that write up is wrong and that it was designed by Hannaford, according to the research done by Price Hill Will.A photo and background on the Schulte Mansion, which is on the Queen City Tour.

I understand your point but, quite frankly, the situation with Pete is kind of weird. I know Pete well, but his position that we have lost so many buildings of historical significance (some during his watch as WPHCC president) that it is not worth saving what is left, is damaging to Price Hill and ultimately to Elder. Why and how he inserts himself in these matters is, like I said, kind of weird.We get it mojo, you don't like Pete Witte. Appreciate the updates regarding PH, but this thread could probably do without the personal analysis and attacks. It's lasted a long time, don't want to get it too far off the rails.
And that's fine, I'm not saying the updates on the buildings or happenings in PH aren't relevant, just that we could do without the personal attacks. We know your position and I don't think anyone feels strongly one way or another on what you think of him, but it's not necessary to dump it in here. That's all I'm saying.I understand your point but, quite frankly, the situation with Pete is kind of weird.

With that said, I defer to you until the next crisis.
In deed. The old Sears and the old Schulers are both vacant and could accommodate their needs without having to go to new construction.Plenty of empty space on Glenway Avenue to take the offices where they are building the Sonic
Are you talking about Sonic, or the businesses that are currently on the future Sonic site?In deed. The old Sears and the old Schulers are both vacant and could accommodate their needs without having to go to new construction.
A rehabilitation project that involves seven historic buildings and four non-historic buildings in East Price Hill will receive a $1.7 million tax credit.
Warsaw Creative Campus, located in the 3000 block of Warsaw Avenue, includes buildings that are largely unoccupied. It will undergo a more than $17.6 million redevelopment and receive an Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit of $1.7 million.
After the campus’s mixed-used buildings are redeveloped, there will be 24 affordable residential units. The campus will also feature an array of tenants, including a youth orchestra, DIY art space and restaurant. Rehab work is expected to begin in September and is expected to be completed within about a year.
The Warsaw Creative Campus is a project of Price Hill Will, the neighborhood’s nonprofit development corporation, and Over-the-Rhine-based real estate developer Model Group.
Another gym sold, and it is rumored to be turned into a storage facility. What is the deal with all of these storage places? Why is there an increased demand for storage all of a sudden? There are plenty of existing storage facilities on the westside.How many more storage places do we really need
The westside is doing an awful job attracting any sort of good businesses these days. Tire stores, check cash places, storage facilities, mattress stores...all eyesore kinds of businesses that close within a year or, in the case of the storage places, it never seems like anyone is there. The area this gym used to be has some good, locally owned places worth supporting, but it's an ugly looking plaza. Especially with the old Toys R Us being some sort of RV storage place or whatever it is.Another gym sold, and it is rumored to be turned into a storage facility.

Members frustrated by sudden closure of West Side gym
CINCINNATI (WKRC) – The doors were suddenly locked at a West Side gym, and it’s disappointing a lot of people. Thursday morning, FX Fitness members showed up to see a sign posted to the door. It stated the gym in Green Township was closed for good. That's also how employee Anthony Camarca found...local12.com
Another important project to help stabilize and develop the Warsaw Avenue corridor. The real estate developer is the Model Group. They did the work on the apartment complex for seniors on Elberon and West 8th street.

I say that jokingly but kind of seriously too. It simply doesn't make sense how there are so many
I think you are on to something. Did FX Fitness own the building, or was the space leased to them? I think that gym used to be called Ballys? If the building is privately own, did they really just kick out a long, long time tenant for a storage company? Is the storage business that strong that they are able to give the landlord that much confidence over a gym that's been around forever on the westside? It all seems pretty strange. I do get the gym could have been struggling due to the pandemic. Seems like a strange time to shut down when everything has now opened back up thanks to the vaccines.
Things just don't add up here. The other strange part is it just shut down randomly on a Thursday according to the article with employees and gym members not given any notice.
