World-class cities don't just happen, they're created through vision, planning and execution. And in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky two major initiatives are driving change. Cincinnatians from the business, nonprofit, government and civic sectors have come together to work toward a better future for the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. Agenda 360 is strategic planning effort for Southwest Ohio. Housed at the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, Agenda 360s Regional Action plan is an effort to attract and retain talent, jobs and economic opportunity to the region through specific benchmarks. Northern Kentucky's Vision 2015 is a shared public plan for Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties driven by a partnership of more than two dozen public, private and nonprofit agencies. It focuses on six core areas to improve by 2015: competitive economy, educational excellence, livable communities, urban renaissance, effective governance, and regional stewardship.

Pass by 211 Klotter Street in Clifton and you’ll see an oversized turquoise egg, a green glass bottle and a few pieces of driftwood decorating the porch, but nothing that hints that this is the location of Pixel 19, a vintage shop that supplies sellers around the globe. It’s also the home of Stu Nizny.

Last Friday bore witness to one of the most momentous groundbreakings in the modern history of Cincinnati. As an enervated and enthusiastic crowd looked on, Mayor Mallory, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and other assorted city dignitaries modeled their commemorative, gold spray-painted shovels and ill-fitting hardhats for the assembled media, all in a prelude to the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cincinnati streetcar.

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me if I thought opening a climbing gym was actually realistic, I might have enough money to pay a month’s worth of rent on a potential building. While there may be a list of reasons why I shouldn’t pursue the gym or why it won’t work, I have a list triple the size of reasons why I should and it will.
