Chipotle - Fountain Square 1 Fountain Square Plaza # Cincinnati, OH 45202 Open M-F, 11A-8P Weekends Not sure if this means that M-F hours are forthcoming or if it's 11A-8P daily. Still, pretty great hours for downtown. I hope they're open until 10P on weekdays though.

^Ba-ZING!

^I still have no idea where people will park at that location. I guess the Stetson Square residents will see vagrants appearing in their neighborhood.

If they don't expire, be sure to see about any other conditions your gift card might have. Some have certain levels of depreciation if you don't use it by a certain time.

^HAHA!

^Thanks!

^^Oh, and the Chipotle that will open across from University Hospital has a Soooooon sign up.

^Any word on a grand opening? I believe that Chipotle offers free burritos at their openings...

Oh, I understand. I do admire your self-discipline though. I really *should* be doing that...

Davis and Sacramento?

Shoot, I should start doing that. It *is* Monday, the start of the week...

^I'm just saying that you should branch out! :-) I didn't mean any harm.

I dare to say that's unfortunate.

I suppose it's easier for me because one person wants the Best of Tom Jones, and another wants a collection of The Adventures of Tin Tin. Everyone else can get candles or alcohol. :-D I know what you're saying though. Just be careful about where you buy the gift cards and the conditions for each one, of course.

^I think it's one year, but someone could tell you otherwise.

^Like it or not, you are one yourself, haughty.

^If gas prices don't skyrocket again, we might not see such a boost in ridership from the Oct-2009 report. May still be on the rise, but I wouldn't guess as much.

I'll be spending more this year because I really didn't spend much at all last year. I won't buy gift cards though. That's quite a risk, these days.

I'm amazed by how horrible The Palace once looked and its finished product now.

^HAHA. KJP, KJP, KJP...tsk tsk.

HAHA. Wow. Please don't find my mailing address.

^Feel free to research various cities who have successfully implemented light rail with smaller populations than that of Cincinnati. That's also to say that employment centers won't shift over the next decade, shifted by various socioeconomic factors. As far as points of interest, we already have them. As far as strengthening those points of interest, that's what TOD can achieve when done right.

If it's a city operation, I wouldn't count out the possibility that a slight increase could pay for future transit service expansion into other modes.

Well, I'm wondering if the same percentage tax will be footed by city residents, or if that will change.

It's interesting how light rail snuck back into the picture, as you stated earlier in the week, Randy. But would you happen to be able to explain what makes the light rail inclusion here different from previous conditions? Does it have anything to do with how funding will be decided or whether it'll go to the voters? I must say that I'm not familiar with the process. So, is this still going to switch over in March?
