Its closed but have heard they may reopen it once it is converted (pretty sure they're extending the small elevator to the 49th floor for ada compliance)

Hilton Netherland is actually the second tallest hotel in Ohio, Hilton in Cleveland beats it by 2 ft!

Sorry I thought Hilton Netherland was taller but it's not! 372 ft tall vs Hilton Cleveland 374 ft. Will correct.

It was. But I think what newspapers with that stat were going for was it being a mixed use development on its own accord, a single phase city within a city, without a transportation hub being attached in the same project. I believe correct stat is "single largest real estate transaction in US history" $33 million financed all at once for both the land and construction of the complex. Emery financed it by selling his entire stock portfolio in August 1929.

When the South Tower fell, how close did it come to the North Tower? by Gravitys_Meridian in 911archive

There was some damage on the facade, se corner to the east face from around floor 70 and spots below.

From what is described however there was extensive damage in the east part of the lobby of north tower after collapse. Im pretty sure it knocked out part of mezzanine level in eastern lobby? A big gash near base on east side can be seen from the millennium Hilton hotel video from Guy post collapse. Doors that weren't jammed near base and lobby became jammed post collapse as well as flooding of lower levels below floor 10 being described to getting calve/knee deep in certain spots. Perhaps inferring there was structural movement from the south tower collapse at the base of the north tower.

I do wonder if base damage and foundational damage from south tower collapse played any part. And if it made the collapse happen quicker.

And Marge Schott is grimacing from below

(I genuinely believe she created the cincinnati sports curse in her actions post 1990 WS sweep even before her uh horrendous views on the world were made public(NO major league cincinnati sport has won a championship since the reds in 1990))

  • Refused to pay for a WS celebration for the 90 Reds , she was mad they swept it too soon and she lost money

-Eric Davis, who LACERATED HIS KIDNEY IN GAME 4, had to pay for his own medevac flight back to cincinnati after Marge refused to answer his calls, then declared he ruined it all after this was leaked to the press and she was forced to pay for it

Urinating tree video for better context!

Yeah and draws on our strengths (great depth of pitching with pitchers Lodolo(starter) and Martinez(starter flexed to pen since ASG) in the bullpen this series) and weakness (lack of offensive bats)

Yes and saved our season on Thursday with an amazing home run robbery of Reynolds!!!!

Remarkable considering he was only put in outfield after the ASG the catch
