    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Cincinnati Streetcar: Phase I Cultural Resources Investigations
    Project No. 10-6301.001 Cincinnati Streetcar: Phase I Cultural Resources Investigations Lead Agency: Federal Transit Administration Prepared for: Parsons Brinckerhoff 312 Elm Street, Suite 2500 Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 Contact: Jennifer Graf (513) 639-2145 Prepared by: Douglas Owen, M.A., Architectural Historian Gray & Pape, Inc. 1318 Main Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 (513) 287-7700 _____________________________ Patrick O’Bannon, Ph.D. Project Manager February 2011 ABSTRACT This report presents the results of a Phase I History/Architecture survey conducted by Gray & Pape, Inc., of Cincinnati, Ohio, on behalf of Parsons Brinckerhoff of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the proposed Cincinnati Streetcar project in Hamilton County, Ohio. The City of Cincinnati is sponsoring the development of a streetcar transit system to serve as an urban circulator for the downtown area and adjoining neighborhoods. The City has identified streetcar transit as a potential tool for improving local circulation, supporting sustainable community and economic development, and complementing other components of the local and regional transportation system. The project will be partially funded by federal grants, administered through the Federal Transit Administration, therefore requiring compliance with the Section 106 consultation process, as defined in 36 CFR 800. Gray & Pape defined an Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the undertaking that encompasses all parcels fronting the proposed streetcar routes. The APE is characterized by a dense, urban concentration of commercial and residential buildings located in Cincinnati’s Central Business District and the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. The literature review for this project entailed an examination of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office’s Online Mapping System and the City of Cincinnati’s CAGIS mapping system.

  • Abstract a Political Economic Analysis of Cincinnati's
    ABSTRACT A POLITICAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CINCINNATI’S DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT SCHEME CENTERED AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS STADIA James Anthony Brown The purpose of this analytical case study is to explore the political economy of stadium construction and the urban growth strategy and redevelopment scheme that occurred in Cincinnati covering the years from 1993 to 2003. This case study was developed to provide an integrated view of the historical, social, economic, and political forces that defined the conditions in which this strategy was embedded within the class factions of the dominant. Information gathered to develop this study included mainstream newspaper accounts (including those from the newspaper’s website), and miscellaneous articles and texts. The city’s professional sports franchise’s (i.e., the Cincinnati Bengals’) complaints of economic downturn were blamed on, and due to, Riverfront Stadium’s inadequate number of revenue producers (e.g., lack of sufficient number of skyboxes, club seats, and a restaurant) compared with league (NFL) averages. The franchise’s relocation threats garnered certain city and county leaders’ support in providing a new stadium to prevent their departure and paved the way for a new image and re-birth of downtown Cincinnati—economically, physically, and socially. Such support was not monolithic evidence of a lack of consensus in what might have been presumed to be a hegemonic elite. While most of the information gathered for this thesis stemmed from mainstream sources that are often the vehicles from the perspectives of the dominant, my use of the “official” media is selective and primarily empirical. A critical analysis is provided.

  • Homer Matheny, a Veteran All-City Third Baseman for Freeze/Arnold/JAC/Putter’S, Is Also a USSSA Umpire
    Guest Editorial by Homer Matheny Editor’s Note: Homer Matheny, a veteran All-City third baseman for Freeze/Arnold/JAC/Putter’s, is also a USSSA umpire. In a guest editorial this month, Matheny will try to clarify changes that the USSSA made last November relating to the pitching distance in view of the confusion that has reigned in Greater Cincinnati since play first began back in March. The 2007 USSSA pitching rule has been changed. Or has it? The rule is actually the same. The distance one can pitch from, however, has changed. A pitcher's pivot foot (planted foot upon release of the ball) can be within the 24-inch wide pitcher's plate up to 6 feet behind the 50 foot mark. All the normal rules still apply. This increased distance is to offer protection and safety to the pitcher. USSSA has always tried to give an advantage to the pitcher. In this case, the rule was to protect the pitcher. I play and umpire USSSA softball. The rule, though simplistic in nature, can have its issues. I like the idea of providing a pitcher with an alternate distance to pitch from. However, I believe 6 feet may be too far. At 56 feet and beyond the integrity of the pitch is lost. The speed of the ball and the height of the arc are now com-promised. The rule book states the pitch must be pitched at a SLOW SPEED. The USSSA umpire has a tough job. Where did the pitcher release the pitch? Did it get 3 feet of arc from the point of release? How was the speed of the pitch? Did it meet the required depth on a batter who may or may be running up or out of the box? The umpire must keep the pitcher from gaining an advantage with a rule that was not introduced for deception.

  • History Online
    INTRODUCTION THE BEGINNINGS Nothing challenges the historical imagination more than trying to recapture the landscape of the past. To imagine Springdale without the sounds of the automobile, the smells of gasoline and rubber, the hardness of the cement, the glare of street lights and the bright signs of the shopping malls seems almost impossible. Yet there was a time when the modern urban community that is today's Springdale was little more than a lush forest full of abundant natural resources undisturbed by human settlement. Along with the low rush of the wind, common sounds would have been the chirping of quail, parakeet and the passenger pigeon, the honk of wild geese and turkey, and the grunt of boars rooting the earth for acorns underneath the sturdy stands of oak. The odor of the virgin soil and the mushiness of vegetation slowly decaying in the perpetual forest gloom naturally complimented the contours of the gentle and rolling land, broken occasionally by natural ravines and small creeks. Over time humans, first Native Americans and then Europeans, altered the terrain. Yet essentially the contour remains as it was when the Miami Indian felt the lilt of the land beneath his feet as he made his way across it in search of game. He trod a well- beaten path or trace. From time immemorial, long before the first white explorer intruded, Springdale's destiny was shaped by its location on a key transportation route. The end of the American Revolution signaled a period of discovery and prolonged movement and settlement of the wilderness that is now the United States.
