I agree with you I've had that idea for a long time since I live there Back in 88 the buildings are beautiful I agree with you it's a awesome looking place if it's restored properly way to go keep up the encouragement I agree keep it up
Mark. Thank you for the comment. It means a lot. It is nice to see the old buildings slowing coming back to life. when I moved to Cincinnati 20 years ago very little was happening down there. Now if we could just get some of the financial abundance back so that normal people can afford to move into the rehabbed buildings. Cheers, JP
Born and raised in the nati, down near Bank St field. Used to play Football and Baseball on Bank St Field. Used to have a slaughterhouse near the Bank St. field. When I grew up, it was nice area, very close to where you were filming.
There is a lot of section eight in this area. Unless, the section eight goes somewhere else there will be problems living in the West End. Where would you like to place the section eight people? Price Hill? Westwood? And then the section eight housing needs to be replaced (Does anyone remember the drug infested high rises in the West End?). It's been going on for more than half a century. The West End and OTR are viewed as a playground for young urbanites and hipsters, full of breweries, restaurants and chic shops.
Years ago I almost bought a very nice old 3 story house from a bank in West End. big windows, high ceilings. I was planning on in home business and fixing up the building. Had it inspected and the guy who did it told me it was a very bad neighborhood. Well, it hasn't changed all that much in the past 40 years and the neighborhood isn't really any more unsafe than most neighborhoods almost anywhere. An interested young person could purchase many of these buildings for cheap. If you enjoy repairing, cleaning up, and restoring one of these buildings could be a great way to get into home ownership.
Ron, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I owned a church and did a lot of rehab on many old structures in Cincinnati. The labor involved is epic, however, one certainly can end up with something amazing and built to last damn near forever (with reasonable maintenance). I also think that the crime thing is overrated. The financial institutions will do far more harm to you and me. Cheers, JP
@@justinpoole3146 well im glad you got back with me 😁so soon. the house i was looking at could have been beautiful. it had rounded windows. that is to say, the glass was itself rounded. three windows on the first floor both bottom and top were rounded glass and maybe the second floor too. Anyway, the thought of those windows being broken and needing replaced was a big reason i didn't buy. glad you are happy and i think the west end like many neighborhoods could be lovely.
The only way this area could make a comeback is if everyone there fixed up all the buildings. The problem with the over the rhine is that there are too many people who bought buildings and just let them stay as is, they are going to expect to sell at a profit with no effort because surrounding buildings are being rehabbed. About 10 years ago and then some I was supplying contractors who were working with 3CDC to restore buildings and if the owners of the delinquent buildings have no intention of restoring them they need to sell them to someone who will.
Sorry for the late reply. I know what you mean. When I moved to Cincinnati 20 years ago there were 500 vacant buildings in the downtown. Now they are being restored however, will normal people be able to afford them once they are ready for occupancy? Thank you for the comment. They mean a lot!
It does seem to me that the city could arm twist a lot more to get the owners of wrecks to either !@#$ or get off the pot with their shameless attempt to game the system. Fines and penalties for leaving things blighted?
In my opinion your making sense. ( 2:18 ) I understand what your saying & I agree. Corporate America seems to be in the process of gaining ownership of small to mid size businesses by any means necessary for the purpose of consolidating them into there " too big to fail ideas ". That way they never have to take accountability for they're shady & greedy schemes & they're profit over morals type of ideas. Instead, what happens is. " WE THE PEOPLE " , were the ones who suffer the consequences. (also I would like to add that) " Drugging children for supposed behavior/focus issues is a crime against humanity " & I would bet everything that I own that someday in the future when nobody is still alive & around to answer for this crime against humanity to suffer the consequences of, they're evil decisions regarding drugging children as young as 6,7,8 years old. It will then end & that is the only way that I can see this evil practice ending. & If it does eventually end. I can allready see in my mind. All of the movie documentaries that will be made to manipulate the public into believing that we as a society, we made a huge mistake by drugging all of these children. Phrases will be used like , ( We have become alot smarter since then & we just didn't realize back then about the negative effects that it was going to have on American Society.) & On top of that. Celebrities at that time, they will be coming out in the droves in order to support the propaganda messages being broadcasted by Main$treamMedia. This seems to be what they like using celebrities & athletes for, all the generic public announcement commercials backing up the 1 world0rder & in return. the celebrities are promised more money & more fame. " I say that it is a crime against humanity to drug children for supposed behavior/focus issues because the child has no say in the matter of being drugged yet it's the child who suffers the consequences of these decisions well into they're adulthood. Most these children are prescribed to multiple drugs purposed towards countering the side effects of the initial drug that was prescribed to them back when they were a child. Drugs that were prescribed to them back when they was sometimes even as young as 7 or 8 years old. Now how is that not a Crime Against Humanity? I want to hear someone try & answer that question because I'm open & willing to debate anyone on this topic that is currently plaguing our American society. - American intermediary
Dean, Sorry for the insanely slow response. You've said a lot. I greatly appreciate your feedback and am going to have to re-read what you have written. Cheers, JP
You won't get any argument from me. I do believe that things can get better, unfortunately things seem to need to get super painful for people before they are really motivated fight for change. (and I include my self in this group)
@@justinpoole3146 Thanks for the reply my friend. It will either have to eventually become "super painful" or unfortunately & more likely, it will have to become "super political". I feel like We the People, we are losing freedom here in America at a rapid pace. The Far left & The Far Right take turns dismantling the constitution. All while many influencers & people with decent size social media platforms sway the younger generations into believing that 1 side is more righteous than the other side. It works out perfect for their agenda because the younger generations that are listening weren't old enough to remember that it was the political side that they are being pushed towards that just finished taking their turn at doing their part in removing freedom here in America. All of us have our own individual ideas regarding our own personal boundaries as far as how far we are willing to be controlled by the GOV but by the time that boundary gets crossed it's already too late due to us all being at odds with each other over some small issues & some important but we have to find common ground on something that connects us. Divided We are weak. If Freedom can't connect us & if speaking up about the drugging of children can't connect us, then I'm not sure what can. I fear that to many people are already addicted to the prescribed drugs though to speak up. Actually, I've noticed that many people revolt against the idea of having this discussion regarding the kids being drugged due to them, themselves already being addicted & fearing that their meds will be taken away from them personally & not have access to being able to get them anymore. They know that the likely response from our Government, it will be an Extreme Response given that history shows us that is their typical response when attempting to fix something that is refusing a Band-Aid.

Those neighborhoods died when the factories moved out. Notice there isn't any place to park, back in the day they walked to work or used the bus for the short ride to work. To rebuild this area, you need to bring the jobs back first, then replace several buildings with parking garages. Neither is going to happen, so tear the whole place down and build modern apartment buildings.
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.
Regarding GM: Sort of a mediocre product a little of priced. Regarding West End: fabulous classic product and way undervalued. I live in Sierra Madre CA now where an uninspiring little ranch style house goes for over $1M. 🤯 (Median prices are about $1.3M)
Didn’t they learn from Walnut Hills? Them neighborhoods have a terrible reputation that will never leave them .The city dropped all that cash in W.H’s and no one with any sense or cash wants to live there! Why do you want to pay250,000. for a condo or house just to live two doors down from abandoned buildings or section eight landlords trash houses? You wouldn’t live there! Quit acting like you would! Go down there at night and film this!
Charlene, Thank you for your feedback. I lived in Walnut Hills when it was pretty crazy. Now it is looking more like Hyde Park. I think I was part ao the gentrification of WH. I realize that when everything gets restored and built up the lower income people get pushed out. I wish there was a better solution to the ever-present economic inequalities, which are clearly getting worse. The upside to this is that the Church of the Assumption is not getting torn down as we all thought it would. I owned it for 5 years and did my best to keep it alive until I could sell it to someone who had the deep pockets to bring it back. Cheers, JP

Where was the West End HOA back in the 1800’s .
See what happens guise .
Indeed! 🤣 Sorry for the slow reply. Thank you for your comments. They mean a lot to me.
this is so pretty ...i'd love to have detailed views of the buildings since it seems that the architecture was part of the identity of the place
Sorry that I'm replying so late. I didn't see your comment. Yes, I love the over the top build quality of these areas. Thank you for commenting.

Too big to fail is what they used to say about General Motors before they declared bankruptcy.
I can't argue with that. Thanks for commenting.
