Remembering Cincinnati, 4/29/09

One year ago:

• Cincinnati City Council voted unanimously to amend The Banks' planned development district to make it consistent with building height limits set in the master development agreement.
• Council also voted to sell the old Engine 9 firehouse to the Cincinnati African American Firefighters Association for $1, to be used as a meeting facility and neighborhood center.
• Pendleton Neighborhood Council hosted a tour of the current School for Creative and Performing Arts, followed by a discussion of blight and vacancies with City staffers Ed Cunningham and Jennifer Walke.
• Camp Washington community organizer Joe Gorman proposed the idea of a City-wide beautification effort to clean up our abundant rusted railroad bridges.
