The Louisville game was great and the team is getting a lot better rather quickly, but that St. John's game was just disappointing.

^ Agreed. Once the season was over, the only real fun was trying to predict what play the Bengals would run next. I was right most of the time.

Pretty great recap!

Accidents happen, so don't beat yourself up over it. Everything has a way of sorting itself out.

You (again), sir (again), are a national treasure (again).

Here is a random assortment of photos that I had left over from trips taken between November 14 and December 24, 2007. Access all 2,053 of my Cincinnati photos in my Photobucket gallery. 1.

Me neither. Quite interesting.

^ great pic

Fine set, Randy.

But "Compressed Leavings and Cheddar" just didn't sound as good.

And then we got soundly thumped by the Jayhawks. :( I watched maybe 5 minutes of that game. It was just brutal.

One of the best of the smaller Ohio county seats, IMHO.

I don't think the trustee would have made it difficult to put the TIF together. He just didn't want your banal idea.

So, montecarloss.... You're saying that one of the winning photos is not even from the event and another seems to have been "touched up" by adding non-existent fireworks? I would seriously look into this, dude.

That is quite an interesting point and probably the one idea that often gets ignored. The mall never really built any momentum, and most people outside of the northern hills probably never even heard of it. And its mix of stores has always been bizarre, even at the beginning. ragerunner is probably dead-on about the hotel idea. Forest Park people have told me that they're actively looking for a Winton Road site for a business hotel/conference center, and I can't think of a better developable site than the Cincinnati Mills lot.

Thanks for the tour!

This makes baby jesus cry. Jesu's.

Eh.... Why not some new angles? Devou? One should be more creative than that to win. And that second one isn't very good at all. I understand wanting to get the reflection on the water, but a perspective that makes the illuminated skyline so dimiunitive and secondary kind of defeats the purpose of the event.

^ Yeah, my bad. Misinformation on my part.

Beautiful. Cool contrast with the cacti and the Christmas stuff.

That's good to hear, beachkbk.

Off-topic, but I don't think the Beer HOF is officially abandoned. It's just been moved to that section pending ANY news.

ink...Congrats on finding Reading's historic CBD. Most people can't. ColDayMan...I love Reading. It has a ton of great old historical buildings and is relatively well-preserved. It's actually one of my favorite suburbs.

Good Lord. In 50 years, will it be considered "possibly" offensive to mention 9/11?

Cool collection. I like that first shot. Hooray for street trees!
