Nice Neighborhood

Now why don't business - or anthing else for that matter - want to locate in Over-the-Rhine.

A Head Start center serving 108 children in Over-the-Rhine might close and move out of the neighborhood after a teacher had a gun pointed at her head in a store robbery across the street Tuesday afternoon, the agency's director said.

"I'm appalled at having to make a decision that forces us to run from a community that needs us," Gwendolyn L. Robinson, president of the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency, told City Council members Tuesday.

But she said an incident Tuesday afternoon was the last straw in an escalating atmosphere of violence that threatens the safety of the children and teachers at the center.
