Thank you J-dub The thumbnail is still not showing up. That close up of me looks like a scary movie. Cheers, JP

Purple, Thanks for the comment. Eventually I will move back to Ohio. I'll just wait until my 7 year old is an adult. That's a long way off, however, after being on the west coast for about 9 years I've come to miss the temperate zones more and more. Good luck with your Mt Airy home and congratulations for finding a home of your own! Cheers, JP

@@justinpoole3146 Thank you. Cincinnati architecture and realistate never gets old. As a mother with an 18 yr old, I wouldnt recommend raising a child in current day Ohio. I offered full asking for my house, $99,900. I owe $84,000. Im all in at $830 a month w/ a 4.5% rate.. Zillow says its worth double what i owe. Currently trying to save it from foreclosure. I have 5 neighbors. All but one are 100yrs old. 3 are mansions We have a lake view surrounded by trees. My son is special needs so it really was a dream come true for us.

I'd say that that is a fair assessment. I-75 should have been built below the surface not above it.

Thank you for commenting.

Thank you for watching, Mate!

Thanks for commenting. I can't help but think it is better to be in this state of slow flux. livable for urban pioneer types, yet still affordable and moving in the right direction even if at a glacial pace.

I agree about the movie reference. Even the best architecture on the west coast looks cheep compared to Cincinnati!

🤣😂🤣

Jack, You are a Prince! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers, JP

Diane, Thank you for the response. If I could move there I would. I hope you can visit (if you haven't already) and post your feedback. Best, JP

Jamie, Thank you for commenting. I could not agree with you more. I live in Southern CA to be near my daughter however, if I could, I would move back. When my daughter reaches 18 years of age I may do just that. Congratulations on home ownership! Cheers, JP

Also, the Cincinnati Jazz music scene is thriving.

@@muwosim7753 Its good to know that you are having a posative experience. I've felt for years the that former "rustbelt" cities are the places to be as they are affordable and unlike the coastal cities, they actually want people to move there. Good Luck, Mate.

M. Sherrill, Indeed. I still can't get over the value for the money, even now that homes are somewhat more expensive. Cheers, JP

Yes, or "get the buck out of my face human".

Don't let the term 'Millionaire's Row' fool you. Low income streets surround this small area. Most of these homes were bought at a low price and then refurbished. Would I like to live here? No, too much hassle and crime in the area. Nice video, though.

There are some back alleys and some houses do have a very tight driveway, probably for horse carriages back in the day. I have driven on these streets but never walked them. There are streets very close by that are very low income. This area in Cincinnati is in a transition phase, as property values increase, people will move to other low income areas and more affluent people move in, usually high income younger while collar workers.

This is an issue for much of inner Cincinnati. It is a very old city for this part of the country and was well developed before cars. As such, many of the lots are too narrow for a driveway, and there aren't too many alleys (there are for portions of this walk). Even for relatively newer homes, a lot have just one small garage underneath the house with the driveway sloped downward from the street.

Thanks for the love mate.

Wow, I'm sure I do not deserve that. however, I am doing my best. Thank you for commenting. It means a lot! Cheers, JP

I'm not moving there! At least not now. I'll keep you updated though.

@@justinpoole3146 Thank you!

I believe it will some day. It will be nice to see it cared for however, by then of course, it will also be unattainable to most, unlike how it is now. Sorry for the slow rely. Some how I missed this one.

Thank you for watching and commenting! Good Day.

Thank you as always brother. I greatly appreciate that you watch my videos and comment. It means a lot to me! Cheers, JP

Thank you for commenting. I love this city!

I remember. That's how we met.

@justinpoole3146 Indeed, my friend.

Thank You. It's heart warming to know that that video gets watched so long after It was made. Cheers, JP

@@justinpoole3146 keep em comin i'm a sub now so i gets to see em right away

I have been wondering what the difference between a lynx and a bobcat.

@@justinpoole3146 Well, the video below shows a similar cat looking a bit more 'fluffy'. Or perhaps the hairs are just standing up....

@@justinpoole3146 Turns out, the bobcat is a species of Lynx. I think what you have there is a little Bobcat.

@@concertina Thanks for the intel. I always thought a lynx was adapted for colder climate.

@@concertina I believe it is the same cat in both videos, however I don't know for sure. What gets me is how illusive they are most of the time - until they/he/she, decide to nap on your back steps.

Yes, that was yesterday, just outside my door. The squeaking is a bird who is furiously warning his friends about the cat - I think. Thank you for commenting .

@@justinpoole3146 Yes! I think you're right. I heard a similar bird today taking the dog out in the hills. Once we made it down the hill the squeak stopped. The dog is a little bigger than that cat so it would indeed look like a large predator. Large cats however, can actually CATCH birds

@@justinpoole3146 And dare I say, it seems pretty calm. Maybe likes you? I dare you to leave some fish out. Also, is it possibly a domesticated Savannah?

@@concertina I thought about something like that however, there is a big push to not feed the wildlife out here as it presumably makes them less able to be "wild" anymore, so I'm going with that. I desperately want to feed it though.

Thank you as always for connecting.

@@justinpoole3146 You're welcome.

Surely I won't last long surrounded by all these man eaters.

Of course, I'm only a "man" in theory.

Thanks, but what about the the stalled construction project? Poltergeists scare everyone away?

@justinpoole3146 you may want to check the history of this area. First Nations Peoples and was this area of religious and or a burial site. Criminal activity, unnatural deaths, were any curses levied upon this area? Cheers, Mate.

@justinpoole3146 There are many abandoned construction projects. There are at least five in the East SFO bay where new projects have suddenly stopped. This is happening all across the U.S. as well. Many major banks are increasing the amount of USD set aside to deal with increasing amounts of loan defaults. Residential, commercial, auto. Also, evictions have markedly increased over the last 3 months. Hard times are coming. Get prepared. Cheers, Mate.

I@@jackwalsh1468

I like your thinking - As usual.

Thank You Jack!!!

Thank you for the comments. I first came up to this place about 20 years ago. I moved up here last year. Yes, It retains its unique charter (at least from when I first saw it) and is currently a magical place to be. Cheers,

I'm currently in CA however, when I make it back to OH I'll see if I can do that. Thank you for the comment. It means a lot.

Indeed, the modern zoning laws have not helped either - in an attempt to separate homes from businesses. Happily, at least that can change with the stroke of a pen. Thank you for the comment. It means a lot to me.

I hadn't thought of that but now that you mention it....... Thank you for the comment. It means a lot to me.
