Brewery District signage installed

The Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (BDCURC) is reporting that a new Ohio Historical Marker honoring Cincinnati's brewing heritage has now been installed at 231 W McMicken Avenue, in front of Hanna Park.

The signage made its debut on April 11 during a groundbreaking for BDCURC's $3 million The Clyffside condominium project.

In the future, BDCURC is planning additional, smaller brewery-inspired signage for various locations throughout the district.

At the height of production, a majority of the City's 36 breweries operated in Over-the-Rhine and the West End.

The Brewery District area of Over-the-Rhine now contains the majority of the remaining structures of those brewery complexes.

Hope those signs are made of plastic. If they're metal, they'll be gone within a month.

Yes because all the other historic markers made of metal have been stolen.
Wait!
They're all still there.

Yeah, there are hundreds of those signs in neighborhoods much worse than that. So far, I haven't heard of any problems.

I looked it up, and it appears that these signs are made of cast aluminum.
