Vine Street

The Garfield Suites has been sitting empty for a decade now, and back this past spring, 3CDC entered into an agreement to buy it for $3.75 million to redevelop the 16 stories into a mixed-use development.

It's in a part of Vine Street that 3CDC's been focused on for a while now, pumping $125 million into the redeveloped Court Street Plaza.

3CDC also wants to connect that area further south with the Fountain District, and there are other plans as well further north on Vine, closer to Liberty.

But it is not all construction timelines and opening dates.

Well, listen, I love that.

[laughs]

Uh, you know, you mentioned, uh, being in the urban core, and certainly, you know, The Eagle, uh, I think was one of the real early on, uh, staples along Vine Street there, right? When all that Over-the-Rhine changes, when all that was going on, uh, what, 10, 15 years ago.

The Eagle's been sort of a mainstay of that area.

The CEO, Greg Foran, announced the transformation, stating that the cuts will affect about 37% of Kroger's total corporate workforce across multiple functions.

The reductions will impact Kroger's Vine Street headquarters in Cincinnati, as well as major regional offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Portland, Oregon.

Kroger previously downsized in August 2025, eliminating nearly 1,000 corporate positions to focus on lower store prices and operations.

They've emphasized Kroger's progress with customers, investments in technology, and becoming leaner and more competitive amidst the restructuring.

Yeah, Startup Cincy Week, well, this year is our 10th anniversary.

And so we bring together investors, startups, community builders, a lot of people from the ecosystem together at Union Hall, which is on Vine Street.

It's our, our startup hub.

And we have events and programs and panels and keynote speaking and happy hours.

A FRUITLESS ASSIGNMENT Henry Saylor, who was killed in Covington in a quarrel with Antonio Finch, was a reporter on the Cincinnati Commercial.

In the year 1859, a vacant dwelling in Vine Street, in Cincinnati, became the centre of a local excitement, because of the strange sights and sounds said to be observed in it nightly.

According to the testimony of many reputable residents of the vicinity, these were inconsistent with any other hypothesis than that the house was haunted.

Figures with something singularly unfamiliar about them were seen by crowds on the sidewalk to pass in

Stories of foul play and successive murders had always been rife, but never were authenticated.

One day, during the prevalence of the excitement, Saylor presented himself at the office of the commercial, for orders.

He received a note from the city editor, which read as follows, Go and pass the night alone in the haunted house in Vine Street, and if anything occurs worthwhile, make two columns.

Saylor obeyed his superior.
