Most of us from Cincinnati, if you were a kid in the 80’s, refer to this as the Hall of Justice. Esp since there are several names for it like you just mentioned.

there is more then a single train, the entire yard is still in operation. was lucky enough to be able to visit the main control tower on the back side of the omnimax dome. most routing and scheduling for non amtrack trans are ran out of a control room down in Florida at this point in time though.

this is kind of like Gotham=Chicago. since in the movie, clearly if you’re from here you can even tell what street they were on when they were filming.

Huh, I thought Siegel and Shuster had Superman living and working in Cleveland because that’s where they were from…

but I could be wrong.

Not sure if you’re joking or not…

To be sure, I meant that the writers of Superman had him living, working and saving lives in the city of Cinncinnati, working as a reporter for a paper called “The Daily Star” alongside Lois Lane.

In later issues, his location was changed to the fictional city of Metropolis, and the name of the paper to “The Daily Planet”.

I believe Superman’s home town (before he was moved to New York briefly, and then to “Metropolis”) was Cinncinnati. I’m not 100% sure, but it was definitely somewere in the mid-west…

There was a Warner Brothers studio right across from the Union Terminal, so yes they used the building as the model for the hall of Justice

Only in certain areas does it need help. As it is with any major city. As for murder rates http://www.worst-city.com/Murder-Rate-in-US-Cities-worst-state-city-for-shootings-murders.htm

Cincinnati is ranked 20th, which I agree is appalling and should Cincinnati ever decide to put in the works the Building of the Hall of Justice, then I’ll be the first to sign the bill.

People, people, ok….I’m here to clear this all up. Sit; listen. They built the terminal actually ON the city. And they built the city, yep, you guessed it, on rock and roll. See you there.

Considering Union Terminal opened in 1933, I’m guessing the Hall of Justice was probably based on it, not the other way around.
