My buddy Bob Schwartz has two blog posts I’d like to respond to, but he has no comments. So:

1) I agree, Julian Stanczak’s work on the north side of the Fifth Third garage is fantastic.

2) Re a small grocery downtown, you can actually get all this stuff from existing retailers. I get my deli stuff, eggs, and milk from Silverglade’s on 8th and Sycamore, my fruit and veg from the Court Street produce stall, and if I ate bread, I could get it from Shadeau Breads in OTR. (I was surprised to find that you can get some high-end items, like Lindt chocolate, from CVS.) Sure, it’d be great to have it all under one roof (I have even talked to other local entrepreneurs about doing it ourselves), but right now there’s not the demand for it. A developer whose company reps Trader Joe’s came to the Cincy Allsorts event on Friday night and could not emphasize enough that such a business could not survive downtown - yet.

Also, thanks for the great pictures from the Cincinnati Supper Club last week, Bob!
