Team Lachey hot off of their win on the NBC Clash of the Choirs competition is performing tonight, New Year’s Eve on Fountain Square downtown. As part of Nick continuing to give back to his hometown community those who brave the seasonably cold weather will be no doubt treated to some amazing choral arrangements. The $250,000 prize money from the Clash competition is going to support Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Clifton and is sure to bring much needed support to the nationally recognized pediatric center. If you are going downtown tonight pack warm and dry as the weather will be in the high 30’s with a few possible light showers.

Just to the North of the heart of the University of Cincinnati sits Ludlow avenue. And exceptionally eclectic and vibrant street filled with a menagerie of shops, restaurants and mosaic store fronts. Ludlow Avenue is going through a major urban planning and redevelopment that is sure to improve the physical function and aesthetic appearers of the area.

This section of Clifton is mainly populated by old architecture and the unique food and shops there shows the diversity of a area. In addition on the south side of the UC campus on Calhoun Street there is significant construction going on as the university adds additional student housing, new shops, and restaurants. Moreover the Painter group is planning a green development in Clifton with shops and graduate housing just off campus.
