The Horseshoe Casino is a big, shiny new attraction near some old Cincinnati neighborhoods. It is right across the street from Pendleton and within walking distance of Over-the-Rhine. So what do those communities think of the casino now that it has been open for a year? “On a scale of one to ten, I would give them a ten,” said Tabatha Anderson, the current president of the Pendleton Neighborhood Council. “If I could give them higher I would.”Anderson is also the office manager for Mr. Bubbles Detailing, a business in Pendleton that has benefited from the casino. She said some customers will bring their cars in for a wash and then head across the street to the casino while they wait. Anderson said the casino has been a fabulous community partner. “There has been a huge development boom in Pendleton, which is great to see some of these abandoned, blighted buildings being rehabbed. I know a lot of these developments are being geared towards the casino workers. So there’s a plan in place.
