Zoo passed, museum center passed a few years ago.

Let's hope it doesn't look like this someday! lol

I saw some I heart OTR shirts at Bockfest. I talked with some of the guys, turns out they are a competitive drinking team..lol There is a white dude with dreads that hangs out at Kaldis who rides a bike everywhere, he does t-shirts. If anybody see's him get his contact info.

I enjoy the one on one counseling I give to culdesac leafblower types on a regular basis, but yes updating Wikipedia will help. Lavomatic should be mentioned every time you talk with someone about OTR nowadays.

3.45 in cincy and rising! :-D come on $4.!

Karma?? Who knows.... Some pumps hit 3.45 Gallon today on the westside. I hope Cranley is low on gas and has to fill up. :-P Also rememeber Joseph Pichler, the retired Kroger CEO, who is against the streetcar calling it a waste of $? CINCINNATI (AP) - The grocery chain Kroger Company says its fourth-quarter profits slipped 16 percent, partly because of one fewer week in the period than the previous year. They don't want the public to know it is because I and other stopped shopping Kroger in boycott of the ex-CEOs remarks. :-D

I love the law! I can go to bars without smelling like an ash tray, I probably spend twice the amount of time and money at the bars now.

Even if he is a lying politician a note to council and opponets would be nice in the near future. People on the fence might think, hey he said he was for it it must be good for cincinnati after all.

When people ask the question they are the "Listening type" It is a conversation piece. I have people ask what it means outside of the city all the time. Gives me a chance to talk about OTR and how much I love it! Old Time Radio , Over the Road, On the Rag, I have heard it all.

I know he is probably busy :wink: but can someone write Obama since he won in cincinnati. Maybe he would send a letter to council supporting the streetcar. Having his backing would help if it becomes a ballot issue. As president, Barack Obama will re-evaluate the transportation funding process to ensure that smart growth considerations are taken into account. Obama will build upon his efforts in the Senate to ensure that more Metropolitan Planning Organizations create policies to incentivize greater bicycle and pedestrian usage of roads and sidewalks, and he will also re-commit federal resources to public mass transportation projects across the country. Building more livable and sustainable communities will not only reduce the amount of time individuals spent commuting, but will also have significant benefits to air quality, public health and reducing greenhouse gas emissions." http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/

if there is a referendum I'm sure the first signatures will be in this order... Cranley, Monzel, Pete Witte, Cheryl crowell. :roll: If the streetcar makes it on, I want City lights on there!

I do, I'll see him on thursday.(works at citybeat)

Sorry dude, I have a deal with P&V. You want a sticker? buy one, support the store and OTR business. No freebies!! :-D

Don't do that, remember the FUH2 days when people put climate change stickers on hummers? you can get in big trouble for that now. Free? hey I need to recoup my printing costs! :-)

DRC used to use benches to advertise downtown living. Everybody get themselves an I love OTR sticker at Park and vine. Up the OTR!

I should mention the scooter I leave outside unlocked is a huge heavy old 250cc honda worth about $400....maybe... :-)

Yes that is Liberty st looking west. Historically it is OTR (Pendleton) but today it is within the Prospect Hill boundaries.

I have had a scooter in the downtown CBD and inner city for 7 years. Out of sight is always a plus, but I have had no problems (knock on wood) parking my scooter in front of my house or behind it without even locking it. If somebody wants your scooter they will get it if persistant if thery have the right tools and getaway vehicle, Layers of security give you a better chance of never losing it. I know of only 4 people in cincinnati area who have had their scooters stolen, all were recovered but 1. When at a grocery store park right up near the front of the store, but ALWAYS off to side to not impede the flow of pedestrians, this includes sidewalks. At Findlay market always put it out right in view and be a regular customer of a vendor nearby, they will watch out for you. I had some children sit on mine and accidentally knock it over. Enjoy! Oh not to scare you but check this out! An extra layer of security might have helped(like a chain).

Puff the Magic Snowman visited my neighborhood.

Only #18 has me stumped, good job! Where is that??

This poor bloke says his WIFE came up with the idea for him to camp there overnight, yea right!! The West Chester IKEA doesn't open until Wednesday, but some eager shoppers are already in line. "I've been living in Ohio for seven years now and I've been waiting for an IKEA since I got here," said Matt Lanzoff, of Fairfield. He's not the only one. 9News found other people willing to set up camp and brave the elements to be one of the first customers in the door Wednesday – and get a chance of winning gift cards. By the way, Lanzoff says it was his wife's idea that he sleep outside the store.

Next thing you know the lorain police will put your mutt in the slammer when it barks, or confiscate your 50inch LCD/and Stereo for listening to the superbowl too loud. Or gasp...the hammering of grandest of all suburban noise makers, your coveted leaf blower. :-o

I agree! :angel: that is too hardcore for conservative Cincinnati oh well, we might not have to come up with a name at all thanks to our friends at city hall. Streetcar Backers Try To Bring Support Into Loop POSTED: 5:05 pm EDT March 10, 2008 UPDATED: 6:59 pm EDT March 10, 2008 CINCINNATI -- The ride is getting rougher for Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory’s top priority. Planners cannot agree whether to begin building a streetcar line that would link the city’s riverfront to historic Findlay Market or wait until they can guarantee a link to the Uptown district. “I'd like to see us get a shovel in the ground as soon as possible,” said City Councilman Chris Bortz. “I think that momentum is critical.” However, some proponents want to slow down until an $800,000 study is completed. “An alternative analysis positions us to apply for federal dollars,” Bortz said. “No matter what we do, we're going to have to take that step.” City Councilman Chris Monzel proposed putting the issue before voters in November to help build public support for the plan to link city neighborhoods with streetcars. “If it's a great idea and everybody's for it, that's awesome – let's move forward – but I think it's very important on such a project of such large magnitude that we get the will of the people,” Monzel said. His proposal leaves streetcar proponents in an uncomfortable position, arguing essentially that the plan should go forward without public support. Mallory and City Manager Milton Dohoney hope to find private partners to help pay for the plan, but they said they must first have a deal in place to extend the line through Over-The-Rhine and toward the University of Cincinnati campus. “This should be looked at as a total complex,” said Vice Mayor David Crowley. If the Uptown loop is not part of the proposal from the start of construction, the streetcar plan could fail to attract crucial support. “We could end up spending $800,000 and never really developing a consensus for any piece of the streetcar,” said City Councilman John Cranley.
