It looks like an Eddie Bauer photo shoot.

What, do you guys all want to get drunk on Fountain Square and roam around? Hooligans.. Anyways, as for Burger: It's $0.50 a can. Need I say more?

I have vague memoroies of going there as a kid. I was too young to remember what it was, but remember going to the place. It's always bugged me because I had the image of the place in my head but didn't know what exactly it was. Thanks for making the connection for me!

Wasn't around for the first two, but I'd be in for this year.

The crossover at the end of the line is cheaper and works well in compact space (like 80 feet below Times Square on the 7 train as you mentioned) but a loop might be plausable for the end of an uptown spur, if the line ends at the Zoo. The simple crossover works really well though, just requires a bit more concentration by drivers and signals. It seems like it'd be more efficient to run two seperate lines, with the station at Findlay market where people switch. Of couse it would be easier for passangers to not switch trains...

He makes a good point which i've been trying to push along too. Pro-streetcar or anti-streetcar, it doesn't matter, don't vote for a piece of legislation that is terribly written and purposely adds red tape and inefficiency to a government that is already full of red tape and inefficiencies.

It's quicker to take the bus from LaGuardia to Harlem and hop on either the 4/5/6 or 1/2/3 depending on if you need the east or west side of Manhattan. This is still faster than taking the train from JFK to Manhattan which takes well over an hour and some sheer luck just to pull it off.

^ Of couse, as Sherman knows, the best burgers in Cincinnati do not come from any restaurant, but the roof of his building and a little known UrbanOhioer.

is that St. Patrick's Day? I doubt it, they are wearing shorts, sandals and summer wear. I just can't believe all those people are standing. I would have sat my narrow ass right down on that seat. Haha, sorry for no description with it. This was not St. Patricks Day, but your normal Friday (maybe it was Saturday) afternoon. The reason no one is sitting is because the guy just took a mighty tumble off the bench where he had been passed out. It reminded me of the naked guy on the old Seinfeld episode, everyone just inched away a bit. An older native NYer hit him upside the head and yelled a few choice words at him for taking up so many seats, though.

If you really think your side of the debate as more sense, that's the type of thing you shouldn't say..

I was just in Detroit, that video shows some of the more powerful decaying spots. Tiger Stadium was such a shame, here's all that's left of it as of 2 weekends ago:

While not a member of COAST, I generally align with them politically. It's my opinion (and many others I know that share similar beliefs) that the streetcar (and rail transit in general) is important infrastructure, and one of the things a government should provide. I’m just saying this to highlight the breadth of support for the streetcar I have seen personally. There may turn out to be many more supporters in Cincinnati than we expected there to be.

Why are all you guys behind so many proxies? What are you trying to hide? I sometimes use a program called Tor that allows for safe browsing, the only downside is that my internet is proxied through god-knows-where and I have seen the Google homepage in dozens of different languages. I know how to say "search" in over 30 languages.
Laying off police is one of the worst things the city could go in terms of hoping to get the streetcar built. That made it a whole lot tougher to justify the project. The streetcar and crime in OTR are inevitably linked, and the hierarchy of needs is a strong police force, more jail cells, and a streetcar – in that order, according to a lot of people.
^ That's what you get for ordering it well done! You need a little blood on the plate to bring out the flavor. I'm looking forward to getting back to Cincy to try that place.
It is too much HDR. Turn down the settings a little bit until the "glow" around the buildings is gone, and remember that the sky should always be brighter than anything in the middle or foreground. I used to do a lot of HDR's but have since fallen back to layering different exposures in Photoshop and erasing various overexposed/underexposed portions at different opacities. You can use quick masks to select the areas you'll be erasing. I've found it works a lot better.
^It's built on plots of land that straddle the border of Madisonville and Columbia Township, but I believe more acreage is within the city limits and the building itself is almost entirely inside Cincinnati. It will be paying Cincinnati taxes. So it's not 100% false to say it's in Kenwood/Columbia Township, because the parking lot is in fact in Columbia Township.
6 train was a mess this morning. They stopped all traffic because of a stalled train at City Hall, so I walked the last 11 blocks from Grand Central. This was after 10 minutes of them telling us train traffic was "running at slower speeds," and me telling myself I could just walk there in 10 minutes, but feeling the train would movethe second I got up the stairs.. really makes me miss driving in traffic.
^ It was probably on the 5 o'clock news, which attracted a lot of voters who don't read the web page? Who knows how they presented it?
Was this last Sunday? I ended up eating at some random Kosher sushi place with my date that night because the rain came so hard and out of nowhere, we ran into the first place we found. And I enjoy driving in the traffic you showed, well a couple of times each month at least. I've finally gotten used to the driving style here, but there's no way I could do it every day. Keep your eyes peeled for a giant pickup truck with Ohio tags driving around like a bat out of hell.
Hey, I would rather just be a supporting member. That way I don't have to post with those elitest spinning red stars.
To be honest, the search feature here is terrible; it's really the main reason I'm not a Premium Member.
