The student population, the residents and business people and the people who came in for shopping and entertainment.

"We came up with the idea of a grapevine as an organic image that could blend the different groups together." As the students started the project with the support of UC faculty, area businesses, residents and the city, they began to visualize a plaza on Corry Street, renovated bus shelters with lighted trellises arching over Vine Street from shelter to shelter, new cobble tile pavement, new bike racks, new lanternlike street lights, new street furniture, new signs and greenery throughout the area. That's what it looked like on paper. The plans impressed Cincinnati and the University Village Association. Now the first phase of the project, estimated to cost $600,000, has been approved by the city and is expected to get started next month. Workers will renovate a stretch on Vine Street from Corry on the north to Daniels on the south.

The work, expected to be completed in May, is financed by the city's Neighborhood Housing and Conservation Department. Timothy Sharp, architect and urban planner with the city, said long-range plans will include renovation in two more phases extending north to Martin Luther King Drive. Cost has not been estimated, he said. That phase would include: Upgrading housing. A hotel.

Green median islands down the center of Jefferson. Parking garages at the perimeter of the area. Sculptures reflecting the kind of activity going on in the area. Gil Born, UC professor of industrial design, said about 40 or 50 students worked on the design. "It was a part of our interdisciplinary projects in which we bring students together from different design classes.

I think this is one of those projects where they can see the relevance of what put down on paper come to life," he brother and me." In 1958, Dr. Justice was named of the Year" by the American Engineering Society of Cincinnati, of which he was a member. He was co-author of several textbooks, including Analytic Geometry and Calculus and Unified Calculus, his daughter said. Some of his books were translated into Japanese and Greek. He was also a member of the UC Foundation and the Faculty Athletic Committee.

Dr. Justice is also survived by eight grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lucyle, and a son, Arnold Justice. Visitation will be 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. 1 today at B.J.

McMillian St. said. A drive down "short Vine Street" reflects the mood of a change taking place. The crowd is still there, but the air is filled with classical music, contemporary jazz and holiday songs from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

"They accused us of trying to drive out the young crowd with that kind of music, but that's not true," said Scott Snow, president of the University Village Association. "We invite them to stay, but we invite them to fit into the new image, we want to create for this Snow said the association has taken over three parking lots from the city with 120 parking spaces. They have hired people to sweep the streets every day and to paint over graffiti left by the night crowd. Born said: "I am excited about the design plans. Anytime an area is renovated, it should bring about something positive." The area has seen periods of peaks and downfalls throughout its history.

In 1960, the University Plaza shopping center was created, and through traffic was shut off from Vine Street and rerouted to Jefferson Avenue. With more shops and businesses, the area thrived catering mostly to the UC students. In the 1980s, the area began to decline. Several establishments went out of business, leaving vacant buildings. University Village is a prime location, but its deterioration might have been imminent.

Because the through traffic was rerouted to Jefferson Avenue, not many people knew it existed. Traffic didn't enter from the north because there was no left turn off Martin Luther King Drive for westbound traffic. "Because of its central location, this area should be the crown jewel of Uptown," said John Humphrey, past president of the village association who has operated Zino's restaurant in the area for 23 years. "If we don't look good, it drags down the whole area and affects UC, EPA and the hospitals. We want to be the cutting edge of service and retailing in the area, and good environmental design will help achieve that." Woolworth: Closing saddens shoppers CONTINUED FROM PAGE A6 "They had the best egg salad and ham salad," Scott said.

The store has turned the counter into a seasonal display of wrapping paper and gifts. Sylvia Tomlin, 55, a Woolworth's employee for 20 years, managed the lunch counter for the past eight. "We had all of these elderly people who would come in just to eat," said Tomlin, who's now working the main cash register. "They'd come in for breakfast, do some shopping and wait for the bus.

I don't see them anymore. I worry about them." Cooking for her many regular customers from 8 in the morning to 5:30 at night was like cooking for family, Tomlin says. "We didn't hurry them in and out," she said. "They could sit and talk for as long as they liked. What made our food better was the TLC we put into it." As much as anything, market analysts have said, the five-and-dime is a victim of time.

Time that now moves too quickly, says another longtime Woolworth's customer.
