Your Great Grandpa's Place

05/14/2023

Well I have neglected my duties recently. A lot has happened since I started this post ten years ago. At that time Over the Rhine was not an assured thing. At that time I had not traced my relatives to their first landing in the USA 170 years ago in OTR at the corner of E. Clifton and Frintz St. because both streets were called a different name when they moved there. At that time I was recalling my Great Grandpa and his life 100 years ago, trying to imagine an urban life lived today. It should have been My Great Great Grandpa but the walkable lively life they lived in is happening now.
Imagine 5,000 rose plants now growing on Stark St. Many active restaurants serving and admired by region wide patrons, Imagine that OTR was an entertainment hub again. Imagine even Vine St lined with open vibrant vendors bars and beer gardens as busy as they were a hundred years ago. It all has happened in just ten years from when I dreamed that it could. This journey also chronicled the path of what went on in that ten years both serious and funny the success and the tragedies, the brick by brick building of the dream. Going back in the posts gives a step by step of the life of a Great Great grandson's dream and the dream of many to bring back a most wonderful neighborhood to its vibrant life again.

I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behavior never lies.

Been racing around for so long that a good rainy day feels like a relief to sit and collect my thoughts. I am sure that a hundred years ago folks were also running around like crazy but it seems that we now are more fractured no than ever. No time to read a book. No time to go for a walk. No time to even smoke a pipe or cigar in a park bench. The news cycle is now so fast that it is old news by the time the paper is printed. No time for critical thinking or to sort what is real and what i.e. fake. I guess we are just waiting to give our minds to AI. After all the machines will be able to think better than we can and not get headaches.
