oh----I thought that issue was resolved and the determination was you caused it.

So DanB, are you suggesting that Western Bowl be sky lifted to RiverDowns?

what about formats???

Well see if you get any drinks during your flight! LOL

Yeah....and just imagine how nice of a trip you'll have with me on the ground. "Oops, was I supposed to load the luggage onto the plane?"

so where does that leave me?

^Now that is funny!

50 seat regional aircraft???? Isn't that the type of aircraft all the bigger airlines were trying to get rid of during the big oil spike?

Ytown--- You do realize the Enquirer gets leads from here on occasion?

The Emery is on Walnut isn't it?

What news channel---I can't google anything on it.

Houston maybe---but DFW is diversified enough to remain fairly stable.

Sherman it isn't as black and white as you paint it. There are many stricken with poverty or disabled who try to make a better life for themselves. It isn't always easy to find a job and many turn to other vices as a way to survive. These programs are not give-outs like many on the board believe. They all have requirements and have an expectation that you evenetually make a life for yourself if you are able-bodied. As with any group, there are those who present a negative image. I would dare say they don't even represent a minority. I am willing to bet there are people on this board who for whatever reason have participated in the government programs and do not fit the profile you have eleuded to in your statement.

^ You know that is probably not far from the truth.

^Isn't there an American sign museum in town? I think it would be great if the Iconic sign became a part of the museum. It is going to be weird driving down Glenway and not seeing the Western Bowl.

You're no fun... But you are correct...this thread is an excellent example of how rumors get started! (Yes--I am having a very bad typing day)

Then the feds should spend nothing to widen I-75 to accomodate the commuters of our metro area based on the assertion that I-75 is more important for freight transportation. If the cars stayed off the interstate, then there would be plenty of room for the trucks without widening the road. Shouldn't only local funds be used to subsidize the commuter routes under your model? My point is there are some severe inequalities in the current transportation infrastructure and how that infrastructure is funded. All metro areas should be looking at a multi-modal transportation system that creates a sustainable transportation infrastructure benefiting all its citizens. Streetcars in Cincinnati would at least move us closer to that concept.

^UGH!

Agreed Jimmy----I was hoping people who had not previously considered all the wasted tax money we spend on highway expansion would start considering today. You certainly don't hear calls to take the money being used on the future I-75 improvements and widening through the city and use them on the neighborhoods. I could argue that I-75 just needs to be resurfaced and those hundreds of millions saved should be used to fight crime.

I still can't believe all the outrage at spending $185 million on a new mode of mass transit between the two largest business centers in the metro because some believe it is a waste of taxpayer money---but yet these same people are okay with subsidizing miles and miles of new and expanded highways to nowhere in the name of growth using taxpayer money. What am I missing here???

^ Because the people who live in Downtown, Uptown and OTR, and the people staying in hotels won't use it???? Your argument dumbfounds me.

If you've got 20+ minutes, you can call my dad and listen to him b*tch and moan about their heating bill. Apparently when I come to visit, I run up the heating bill. ::) Must be all the energy you use to make yourself beautiful. hehehe

So far, our biggest bill this winter has been $240 for 2200 sq ft. I can't imagine having bills of 500+.

^ I guess Jungle Jim's would, but going there has to be carefully planned out. Cost Plus was like a Jungle Jim's convenience store with furnishings and other odds and ends. The key word is convenient.

This sucks. I love to shop at Cost Plus. Is there any other store in the Market like it? Some might argue Pier One---but Pier One doesn't have the food/wines or the random knick-knack items that Cost Plus sells.
