Pendleton from the Air

Aerial photographs of Pendleton OTR (5)

On his blog Downtownity.com, Andy Chirch recently shared several aerial photos of the Cincinnati Horseshoe Casino and Pendleton neighborhood. Chirch says this about the photos:

The thing that I notice most in these shots is how incredible Over-the-Rhine looks right next door to the new casino. The Pendleton neighborhood (right across the street immediately north of the casino) specifically looks fantastic. You get a sense of the new life that has been breathed into downtown’s first suburb.

 If one looks closely at the intersections of Pendleton and 12th and 13th streets, the new traffic calming features are visible.

    Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that the parking garage is the same size as the casino!?

      Nope parking is already hard to find downtown. Think what parking would be like if there wasn’t a giant ass parking garage.

    What was in the space before the casino? Seems like so huge, was there a lot of unique buildings lost?

      It was for many decades an industrial area known as Broadway Commons. In recent years it was mostly an abandoned brownfield and at one time was in the running to become home to the Reds ballpark (which ended up going to riverfront).
