Memorial Hall on Elm St. in Over-the-Rhine features amazing interior details. So much inspiration under one roof! John McCain spoke here before the Ohio primary, and I felt inclined to go, just to witness him onstage, beneath the virtue that says “manliness.” There’s a rumor that the county plans to sell the building so that it’ll be developed into condos. I don’t see how that would work, and it would also be a travesty to willingly lose a civic space. Instead, I hope there’s a push for more creative, event-driven uses of the space.
