  1. ^ Ha. If Tank were going to go through with all that he should have made it count and said it to Roethlisberger. Is his maiden name Palin?

    LOL. Someone had to spell it out.
  3. I have to dig those up. Doesn't make immediate sense, since the "hub" uptown is so spread out.
  4. If the store is exceeding projections, why are they taking away people's jobs just in time for the holidays?

    ^^^ Interesting article, if a bit overstating the gravity of the issue. This part at the end stuck out at me as something I have tried to convey (even in this thread), but nowhere near as impactfully: I think she may be overstating things again, but the fact is you are failing if you are, e.g., expressing your anti-consumerist ethics through ironic materialism. Self-aware inauthenticity does not somehow yield authentic substance. This is the hipster fallacy. I hadn't thought of it as a defense mechanism, but that is a good insight. Edit: Here is where I said something like that on the first page of this thread: I didn't explicitly extend the principle to consumerism or politics, but the maxim fits all fields of irony. It is especially relevant to things like that which should obviously be considered and acted upon with conviction. It is true, though, that many hipsters get serious about things like veganism and green transportation. We shouldn't discount that.
  6. ^ We could put the UP in congressional district 9.

    If hipsters are calling themselves hipsters now, it is another sure sign the movement is dead. Rule #1 of being a legit hipster always has been and always will be denying you are one. Rule #2 is saying you hate hipsters.
  8. ^ Ahh. 88 keys, 88 counties...clever!

    Wow, that's quite the photodump! Holy syringes, Batman! (What's up with that?)

    I've been listening to Why? lately. They came out with a new album recently, so I've been jamming to them on Spotify. GBV is my favorite Ohio band. Followed by Afghan Whigs. ^ Video features Northside 4th of July parade on Hamilton Ave. in Cincy.
  11. There's a picture of it on page 9. Also Hangman. Thanks. LOL. I wouldn't mind seeing him somewhere, but preferably inside. Maybe they could donate him to the American Sign Museum.
  12. What does the pole look like? The one in Louisville looks like gallows. Like a game of Hangman.
  13. "This week" as in this past week or the coming week?

    Can we just acknowledge that hipsterism is dead? The Gap and Kohl's probably do have a sh!t ton of "hipster" clothes available, which is a definitive sign of the movement's death. It's been absorbed and reappropriated by the mainstream. No countercultural movement can be legitimate so many years after its beginning. Imagine someone trying to be "grunge" in 2005. There's your hipster in 2012. Just doesn't work. Somewhere, there are cool kids living out whatever the new thing is now. They're just so cool they haven't been tagged with a label yet.

    But if the poll worker fails to do this, or fails to do it correctly, the voter gets penalized under Husted's eleventh-hour change in procedure for the poll worker's folly. Some poll workers may have been trained prior to the change in law, which would complicate things further, since the law here is relevant. Regardless of the content of the change, any last-minute change affecting whose vote is counted has the appearance of dirty tricks. On that, we should all agree.
  16. Nice idea. Ripe for vandalism.
  17. Out of business. But the chef from the Maisonette/Pigall's, Jean-Robert de Cavel, owns the top restaurant on the Zagat list above.
  18. I say let the rumors fly. Spice of life.

    Stairs should always be more prominent than elevators. No reason to encourage laziness. Obviously, elevators need not be hidden for those who need them. But having stairs accessed, e.g., by a door that looks like every other door in a hallway, offset a bit from the prominent space where the elevators are located, is just poor design IMO.
  20. ^ Thanks. Noted. I can deal with fog and drizzle, though, if necessary. Downpours, not so much.

    Very nice! I read Cleveland (and lots of other places) has not been very successful so far with carsharing. Hope Cincy can avoid those pitfalls. So far, so good, apparently.
  23. Nice! I can't wait to check out the PacNW.
  24. That is one way to look at it, but the political shift is helpful. Anti-urban residents might be good for tax revenues, but they are a long-term cancer for the city, since they will readily vote against positive momentum. The pro-urban conservatives are not leaving in droves. The people who would support leveling OTR for acre plots and cul-de-sacs are taking their tax-dodging butts to the exurbs.
