The following 27 photos were taken between April 9 and April 16, 2010.
The tour opens with a shot I took while in Eden Park covering a story about a $1 million gift to Cincinnati Riverfront Park from the Jacob G. Schmidlapp Trusts. From there, I stopped into the Famous Neon's Unplugged for some reason. Probably because I missed opening night.
The next series was taken from the top floor and balcony at the Vernon Manor Hotel during a press conference about its redevelopment into offices for Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Finally, the West End shots were taken during the opening reception for Margo Warminski's excellent "From Tenements to Townhouses" exhibit at the Betts House.

- Avondale +9 (30 photos)
- Over-the-Rhine +3 (364 photos)

Very nice images. You and I really have to get together. I'm working on a project you may be interested in. In fact your slide shows brush up against my work rather nicely.

I remember photographing Clark Street when a lot of the buildings were mere shells - no windows, no doors, holes in the roof, floors, and everywhere.
Picture # 21 was one of them. This and the others were a million times worse than what the city shamefully deems "nuisance" today and can't wait to tear down - and does.
These buildings in that area are proof of what can be done. The city may have even been involved in some positive way back then.
And now it is The Betts-Longworth Historic District. An asset worth visiting and living in and... photographing.
