In all of America, there is no more promising an urban area forrevitalization than your own Over-the-Rhine. When I look atthat remarkably untouched, expansive section of architecturallyuniform structures, unmarred by clashing modern structures, Isee in my mind the possibility for a revived district that literallycould rival similar prosperous and heavily visited areas
