5th and Walnut new and old
A city transformed, the long awaited Banks Project brings apartment living, restaurants, and commercial spaces right to the river's edge. Downtown's renaissance, kickstarted by a multi-million dollar renovation of Fountain Square, stretches north into Over-the-Rhine thanks to uber developer 3CDC's block by block rehabilitation of the city's historic housing stock. Washington Park is the next million dollar inner-city transformation, making urban living green and convenient.

Model entrepreneur builds savory local collective

An international modeling career, a short stint as a magazine editor and owner of two small businesses sounds like a full resume after a decades-long career. But Cincinnati native Margeurite Swallow has accomplished all that, and more, at age 23. Her latest venture, a commercially-licensed community kitchen in Over-the-Rhine, continues to evolve.
