Trying it out

I just experimented with blogger's new option, where you are able to send pics from my phone directly to your blog. I decided to take a picture of this amazing building downtown Cincinnati. Currently, it is the School of Creative and Performing Arts, a public school here in the Queen City, but it has an amazing history.

In addition to this being one of the most grandiose historic buildings in Over-the-Rhine, attached to this school is a green space, one of the largest in downtown Cincinnati. Cincinnati Public Schools is in the the process of building a new SCPA across town, leaving this historic building vacant in a few years. Not sure what is going to happen to this building when the school vacates it, but I am sure that it will be going condo, leaving the green space to become either a parking lot or be developed. There are many residents in the neighborhood who are fighting to keep the green space untouched once the building is sold.

Wish us luck!
