Soapbox writes about the University of Cincinnati's Simulation Center (UCSC) in collaboration with Procter & Gamble. The UCSC is a high-performance computing center for simulating products, systems, and processes that are related to P&G product lines.
For some reason, I think it's interesting that it's in the middle of Short Vine, an area I never took for advanced anything, despite its proximity to UC. Ever since I've been able to drive, Short Vine has conjured up images of tattoo parlors, punk clothing and beauty product stores, Bogart's, and Top Cats. Now, the only reason I walk the street is when I go to Martino's.
But I guess with all the new Uptown Consortium development on MLK, the area is changing. I always thought that the Short Vine area would be one of the best neighborhoods to live in a parallel universe. There is a library, post office, drug store, and grocery store - all the ingredients of a walkable neighborhood. But of course, it's not one of the best neighborhoods to live in, yet.
In any case, here is the building. I remember seeing the UCSC building being renovated a few years ago. I remember thinking to myself, "that's interesting. Somebody's rehabbing that building. I wonder what for?"

That's the front, they built a new addition off the back where all the technology stuff is. It was crazy getting our equipment in there.
