City Council can't think straight Cincinnati's City Council stands poised today to give its formal approval of a plan to pay for a downtown Nordstrom store. While council's members are in a voting mood, they should move to change Cincinnati's nickname. In the short run, this lack of agreement could kill the deal with Nordstrom. Strings attached to the Nordstrom deal prove Cincinnati doesn't know what to do with Walgreens.
Local developers are two-faced about small shops.
And everyone gets failing marks for not communicating. That Can't Think Straight is again playing musical chairs with Walgreens. Until last week, plans called for the drugstore to set up shop on the northwest corner of Sixth and Race. One chain drugstore, CVS, already stands on the northeast corner. Arguing that one pharmacy is enough, the equity fund wants the northwest corner for small, up-scale specialty shops.
