Cincinnati projectile vomited towards the north and out of the bacteria that festered and grew this place resulted. On a serious note, I want Cincinnati's name removed from this vile project! Why can't it be called West Chester "premium outlets"?

Wish I could make it guys... Sherman thanks for the text! I have a 9 am -10 pm shift tommorow. Have fun!

As of this afternoon, I can finally see the steel rising 1 floor above P&G from my house. YAY!!

Prospect Hill. Very liberal. Walk to everything(downtown/OTR). Many pre-school aged children. This is a great place to raise a child.

Being a premium troll has its benefits! You can spew "whatever" without the risk of the Mod kicking you to the curb. $$$ Coast was deceptive and can never be trusted. I talked with someone yesterday who had signed the petition, he was against this streetcar project but NOT the 3C rail plan.

WTF! I am speechless...

I'm sure something will be said after all the city/police layoff stuff settles.

For as much as we spend on the space program we should at least be getting an updated aerial shot.

wcpo.com doesn't have any streetcar related material on the main page or any of the top stories anymore. Instead earlier stories like "Archery Competition Boosts Business In Butler Co." remains. Last I checked the poll was over 76% for and 24% against.

Here is another news poll that needs some streetcar lovin! http://www.local12.com/content/special_coverage/story/Cincinnati-Mayor-Discusses-Streetcars/3srbzdsH8kqpHZH1cWmauQ.cspx Talk to your friends and neighbors who live in the city limits. This is the defining moment that will shape Cincinnati's future.

All those cities have streetcars or have streetcars in the works :)

Wow! I just chatted with the most racist person I have ever chatted with... Smitherman called him to "leave him alone" <---referring to me, after I told the gentlemen politely to stop the use of profanity in front of my Son several times. The NAACP needs better public relations skills...

CINCINNATI -- The growing fight over a proposed Cincinnati streetcar moves into high gear on Monday, as opponents submit petitions to put the proposal on the November ballot. Around 10 Monday morning, dozens of people are scheduled to converge on Cincinnati City Hall to deliver at least 6,100 signed petitions calling for a city referendum on the streetcar idea. The plan calls for installing a modern street car line between Downtown, Over-the-Rhine and Cincinnati's Uptown with the University of Cincinnati. http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/Streetcar-Opponents-Demand-A-Vote/tqqROZMrMEWwLw3DzlExVw.cspx

Magazine Names Cincinnati Among Nation's Best Cities Last Update: 11:41 am (www.cincinnati-oh.gov) The city of Cincinnati is getting national recognition, named as one of America's Best Cities by Outside Magazine. The editors put Cincinnati at #9 on their list, citing a low cost of living and "resilient and well-balanced blend of industries (everything from aerospace to advertising)". One of the former Outside staff members is now the editor in chief of Cincinnati Magazine. He sings the city's praises, saying our downtown is "very urban and completely walkable," and the city is home to green spaces, parks, and lush hillsides. The magazine praises the push for a downtown Cincinnati streetcar line, a downtown bike-commuter complex, and the work done on the riverfront development known as the Banks. The article also mentions unique architecture, a plethora of independent restaurants, and the Oktoberfest celebration. Outside Magazine puts Colorado Springs at number one on it's list. Other cities mentioned in the top ten include Charlotte, Portland, Atlanta, and Boston. http://www.local12.com/news/local/story/Magazine-Names-Cincinnati-Among-Nations-Best/W63M1zYT3U6UAzFe1uQNkA.cspx

I just saw a "Chris Smitherman sucks balls!" sign at the entrance ramp to 71 N from E Mcmillan. :lol: I didn't have my camera for a pic

45210 used to be my zip in Prospect Hill about 4 years ago. Some people still use 45210 here.

This really pees me off!!!!! :whip: Over-the-Rhine Most Dangerous Neighborhood in U.S. Last Update: 12:52 pm Is Over-the-Rhine safer than it used to be? Yes (12.8%) No (87.2%) Over-the-Rhine * Neighborhoodscout.com list of Dangerous Cities A website which provides crime data for insurance companies says the Over-the-Rhine area is the most dangerous neighborhood in the United States. NeighborhoodScout.com says it used proprietary computer models to estimate incidences of violent crimes, including murder, non-negligent manslaughter, rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault, for every sub-zip code neighborhood in the U.S. The crime statistics come from local law enforcement agencies and the F.B.I. for the years 2005-2007. Using their model, Neighborhoodscout.com ranks the zip codes 45210 and 45214, in Over-the-Rhine, as number one most dangerous in the United States.

East Enders Air Concerns Over Hi-Speed Rail Plan Reported by: Tom McKee Email: [email protected] East End community leaders and residents sent a strong message to Cincinnati leaders Tuesday. They like the idea for 3-C "Fresh Start" high-speed rail service connecting Cincinnati with Columbus and Cleveland, however, they don’t want a temporary station built along Riverside Drive between the Boathouse and Theodore Berry Park. http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/East-Enders-Air-Concerns-Over-Hi-Speed-Rail-Plan/-eqIM9zg4E2QcRxjU1Mq3w.cspx

2 more floors and I'll be able to watch the construction from my balcony :)

Miltons was robbed by gunpoint 2 times in 1 week. Still, I love it here and would not want to live anywhere else. If you see ANY dealing call the OTR Drug and Gun Elimination Program Hotline 513.588.6909 Also call the cops on any beat up KY plate car and report suspicious activity when you see people sitting in their vehicles. Very sad week for our neighbors to the South in Pendleton... Thanks!

I'll be there at 1. Converting a DIY electric car is not very expensive or rocket science. Although mating the EM to the tranny is a $@#$%!

Holy crap, are you my twin brother? I have the exact same lifestyle except for the working in clifton part. :-o Keep up the good work!

OTR is over the hump, it will improve with or without the streetcar, but the streetcar is the #1 fastest way to revive it. Many buildings have been vacant for 20+ years and are deteriorating fast. We can't just wait for the streetcar to happen or not happen, get to work now! If you can't buy a building buy from shops you want to succeed in OTR. Every bit helps.

Streetcar Opponents Say They're Halfway To Ballot Group Gathering Signatures For Ballot http://www.wlwt.com/news/19526405/detail.html# CINCINNATI -- Opponents of Cincinnati's proposed streetcar held a rally Thursday afternoon to announce results of a petition drive to put the plan on the November ballot. The WeDemandAVote.com Coalition has been gathering signatures to place the issue on the ballot in a direct challenge to Mayor Mark Mallory and City Council plans to move forward with the project. Chris Smitherman, president of the NAACP in Cincinnati, which has staunchly opposed the streetcar proposal, said 3,302 valid signatures had been gathered to place the issue on the ballot. The group needs 6,150 signatures by the Sept. 4 deadline in order for voters to make the final decision on streetcars. Also Thursday, a Columbus-based conservative think tank filed a federal lawsuit accusing the city of harassing citizens who gathered signatures to place the measure on the ballot. The Buckeye Institute claims that Cincinnati regularly threatens petitioners for causes that the city opposes, and the group and its allies seek a temporary restraining order that would prohibit the city and its employees from interfering with signature-gathering. The streetcars would cost the city nearly $200 million, but city leaders hope to cover some of the cost through a combination of private investment and federal stimulus money. Mallory met earlier this year with the Obama administration to convey the streetcar project as a priority for the city, in hopes of securing stimulus funds. City Manager Milton Dohoney Discusses Street Cars So far, the city has not heard back on whether funding would be approved, but city leaders are hopeful that the project is in line with the Obama administration's goals. "The federal government has indicated that they want an emphasis on infrastructure, on green and on transportation," said City Manager Milton Dohoney. "The streetcar fits all three of those categories." News 5's John London questioned Dohoney about the streetcar proposal Wednesday and how the city can move forward with the project when it's facing a $40 million budget shortfall. Dohoney said that any money for the streetcars would come from the city's capital budget. "If it were a matter of making a choice that would jeopardize core city services, we wouldn't even be talking about this," said Dohoney. If built, the proposed route for the streetcars would follow a loop that begins at the Freedom Center, travels north on Main Street and turns west onto 12th Street, and then travels north on Elm Street. The route would follow McMicken Avenue to Race Street, before turning south onto Central Parkway and traveling down Walnut Street back to the riverfront. Copyright 2009 by WLWT.com. All rights
