  1. Love the Zelda reference. :D Yeah, the whole situation is just ridiculous. This is exactly the kind of thing which gives Ohio its negative reputation and pushes people away (we all know a number of them, right?). I'm glad to see the Cincy streetcar moving forward, otherwise the 3C battle would be much more grating.

    6-1, baby. Cards must be feeling pretty burned. This was a symbolic victory.

    Here's a start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana_Regional_Council_of_Governments Now to involve Dayton...

    Neat find. Beware old linoleum, though. A lot of it contains asbestos. You should wear an approved mask, and keep everything wet as you go. Best of all, don't disturb it unless you have to. But...but...if it were wet, he wouldn't have a nice preserved copy of the Cleveland Times!!! You are right, though.
  5. How about: on the bright side, these estimates probably have a margin of error larger than %0.09 ... so Cincinnati very well may have gained residents.
  6. I think it's more complicated than that. Many (most?) of the NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, DC fans also value charming, walkable neighborhoods. Those of us who value affordable, charming, walkable neighborhoods that are not hyped by the media every hour are in a small minority.
  7. Can you name an Ohio city which is not like this?
  8. In this economy, she's insane to turn down a good job unless she's really cute and has a dense resume. And Atlanta? I've heard that attitude in regards to New York and Chicago, but never Atlanta. I've heard it from some black people. ATL has a bit of a "black mecca" appeal (kind of like NYC/SF being "gay meccas").

    Hopefully someone gets together a constitutional amendment for this. It would easily pass.
  10. ^ I'll just say, if you stay near a PATH station in Hoboken or JC, it's basically like staying a subway stop or two from Lower Manhattan. No big deal. Hoboken is nice, JC is kinda...meh. Good Indian food, though, in JC's Little India. Hoboken looks a lot like a fully gentrified Over-the-Rhine.
  11. Most kids haven't had an opportunity to develop a princess complex. If raised right, they mostly accept doing what they're told as normal and correct. Wives? Hmph. I've seen enough of my friends totally "schwipped" to imagine how that might work. I agree with the cab, unless it's breaking the bank. Then go ahead with the bus. EWR would be easier with a train to Penn Station (or a cab with less traffic), but that's neither here nor there at this point.
  12. You have to admit it sounds like something SP would say. :-) Not saying you're wrong.
  13. ^ Where did that come from? They voted for the streetcar several times. Maybe they just think the route is something best left to the experts. Why is there an assumption that city council should be the ones to decide the route of the streetcar?
  14. ^ Who is that quote by, Sarah Palin? The report may have been taken out of context, but my bet is it turns out to be not far from reality.
  15. Pittsburgh's downtown is just in a perfect location. Cincinnati's buildings are on par with P-burgh, but the geographical environment puts Cincy in second place. That wedge is to die for. (via http://www.vmi.pitt.edu/About_Pittsburgh.html) I can't think of an American skyline which tops Pittsburgh's.

    http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/ugliest-cities/p60742/page5 I'll just leave this here...
  17. You know what really irks me about this house? The mailbox.

    ^ That was a clever idea.

    Just as shallow as Kasich's campaign platform.
  20. Northside and Clifton/Ludlow are so culturally connected, it would be foolish not to take this into account when planning streetcar routes which service them.

    From 10-1 to overtime...wouldn't you know it.

    These Reds...OMG

    10-3 has turned to 10-8. Better not speak too soon edale.
  24. I really wasn't reading that much into it. Sorry, I'm glad CMH is getting the flights. Just couldn't resist the hyperbole. I've discussed this with MD88Pilot (or whatever his name is...) ad nauseum in the CVG thread, and I don't want to derail this thread, but what you call "right-sizing" the CVG hub is highly debatable. After manufacturing a culture where Cincinnatians instinctively & habitually bargain hunt and drive 50-100 miles to fly, Delta's "right-sizing" is sized to an artificially low O&D.
