About Cincinnati's City

dotloop.comWith spring upon us, a lot of us are focusing on the new, which is great, because we are doing the same here at DotLoop.

But, with all this talk about the new, I decided to end the week talking about the old. Last night, my girlfriend and I had dinner downtown and afterwards, we walked through the city with our necks craned towards the beautiful night sky as we admired some of the old gorgeous buildings, many of them a century or more old.

We also walked past the new Great American Tower which is quickly on its way to completion. It looks pretty and shiny and new, but we both agreed that its glass walls don't offer the same majestic look as the hand-carved stone facades of the older buildings, especially in light of their beautiful ornate features.

I've discussed renovation here on the DotLoop blog a few times before not only because many of you out there specialize in selling older homes, but because, like you, we recognize the value an older building brings to a neighborhood.

Serendipitously, I ran across this article a few days ago that highlights the lengths people will go to help preserve not just a building, but a neighborhood. I especially like what Timothy Lynch had to say as to why preservation is so important. Like all things in life, it comes down to people:

“The preservation of the buildings is not as important as the preservation of workers, or of the neighbors.”

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
