Wonder why they tore this down in 1955, place looks awesome. What was it like Belly? Cool as the photos look?

I believe they tore it down for the Streetcar Project.

Look how low those railings are. I wonder how many people fell?

The Streetcar comment was tongue and cheek for the Cincy OC'ers. It's the current thing happening Downtown and has been/still is highly debated. It was being built then, then cancelled, now it's being built again. It's about the biggest news topic in Cincy for the past few years. 'They' say it will revitalise the downtown and surrounding area. (I say Bullshit)

Impressive. Wish I could have seen that.
