This was one of those things where a bunch of people start talking about something on social media without saying the name. So finally I asked someone since the name still hasn't been released.

Pdrome513 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 About treehouse, I had an enlightening experience talking at a bar with a few African American guys who love that place. I was surprised considering the press it's gotten. For my part, I had always avoided it because I assumed, as did my friends, that what they did was tantamount to profiling. But these guys said the so-called "dress code" was the very reason they liked it there, because the folks it keeps out are legit dangerous and the other clubs downtown don't take such precautions. Just thought that was an interesting counterpoint to pass along. It might attract some unsavory characters, but perhaps it's a good thing in the broader scheme of things.

JYP Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 That bar is way too loud. I can hear their music at 3 Points. And at Rosedale, the Treehouse's tunes are so loud it overpowers Rosedale's music. The place is abrasive. Add the elements from above and I would not be surprised they get flagged as nuisance bar by police very soon. “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I probably made it to closing time 300-400 times in my 20s and never once got in a fight, argument, or any of that sidewalk drama that so many of these characters can't help but engage in.

Ram23 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think any guy who's willing to nearly kill a random woman with a cheap shot to the face, over something as trivial as her having witnessed a fender bender is probably a violent person regardless of the alcohol. I'm glad this is staying in the news now, and I'm glad that article has a picture of the guy and of the car - hopefully he'll get caught just like the guy who almost killed the Lachey's bartender over some trivial nonsense. CPD and the media never really mention it, but there are tons of cameras all over OTR (between the actual police cameras and businesses/residents) so CPD probably knows a lot more than the news has been mentioning.

When I was a kid, if the cops had brought me home to my mother and told her they had to taze me because I tried to steal $50+ worth of crap and didn't listen when they caught me, the tazing would have been the least of my worries. Anyways, I feel really bad for the cop here. He followed the rules as they were written, stopped a theft in progress, and now the city is putting him through the wringer. I'm also upset about the precedent this sets - I'd be curious to see what that Kroger's shrinkage has been at that store recently. Everyone under the age of 16 now knows they can get away with stealing whatever they want, and if they're really lucky - they'll get an extra $240,000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfwissel Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I just found out that Tender Mercies on 12th Street between Race and Vine has been housing a serial criminal in the neighborhood. This individual is someone I have to call the police on multiple times per week and have had to testify in court against on two different occasions. I used to think they were one of the more responsible non-profits in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, over the last few years of living in the area it has become clear that they don't hold their tenants to any standards and house quite a few individuals actively involved in crime in the neighborhood. I'm just putting this out here so that you can be on your guard if you hear of any Tender Mercies developments being planned in your area (like in the West End right now).

troeros Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Quick question for you all...I have been highly considering moving to Northside with my girlfriend but I'm just curious about what sort of crime exists in this neighborhood? Alot of my friends from sycamore highschool, Mason highschool have moved to Northside in the past few months and many of girlfriends coworkers live in Northside as well... I've never really encountered much crime there when I'm down there for the bars/restaurants...and have noticed over the past few years the area has become very white washed. It seems like the housing market has pushed much of the blacks out of Northside from what I understand. I've found rent prices in Northside are very similar to Hyde Park and Oakley so I'm curious how do the crime statistics match up, because from what I've seen on the news Northside has really cleaned up in the past 5 years to the point where it's hardly mentioned any more regarding crime on the news.

Robuu Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 There is still significantly more crime in Northside than in Oakley or Hyde Park.

Guest jmecklenborg Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I thought about it again and realized I actually worked with the guy twice -- each time he only lasted for like 3 weeks. There was about a 2 year gap between those two 3-week stints. The guy wouldn't stay on-task and went around the place harassing coworkers. I remember at least twice he came up behind me while I was on the phone and shoved his fingers into my arm pits like some sort of weird tomahawk chop. The last I heard of the guy, he had been arrested for selling cocaine at The Pavillion in Mt. Adams and was on house arrest in Mt. Auburn. 26 minutes ago, Ram23 said: I would bet that 9/10 people who pop their shirts off in a violent confrontation at Waffle House end up getting tased, whether they started the fight or not.
