This might help some. via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUF,_Cincinnati I think when Jefferson becomes W Nixon, you exit Clifton. If not right there, then right around there. That's possibly the most confusing border crossing, especially since it is also where Avondale and Corryville connect.

Thank you. +9001 I remember posting some boundaries in another thread. (Specifically those with relation to Clifton/Heights/CUF/Corryville.) Can't remember where I found them, or if they had streets, but you could kind of figure out the street boundaries regardless. If anyone has the boundaries in a GIS format, I would love to have those...

Git r dun. No matter what happens, this is a great team. On par with the Nasty Boys era.

^ Where were you shoved off?

Everybody knows, for sure! I lol'd.

LOL, I love how some vague non-info comes out and it is seen as both very positive and very negative by different people.

It mentions the pops orchestra. You are thinking symphony. Cincinnati has both a strong symphony and pops orchestra, but Cincinnati and Boston are considered the top two for pops.

Why do bars have parking lots? For designated drivers? Yeah right...

I understand the words, but why don't they say what they are actually putting in? "where people move from being passengers to pedestrians" Sounds like a bus stop. "where people move from one form of transportation to another?" Which forms would those be? Just seems to me if it is known they are putting in "an intermodal staging area", then the planners/developers know at the very least which modes it is for. Someone is being intentionally vague with the language.

There is a severe lack of Bearcat fans here. That game was amazing, but not a peep.

Why good news? They haven't secured the residential component, and the change in scope could be down.

What a beaut. Next time I visit the Cincinnati area, I know where I'm staying.

The final restoration should look like this: via http://victorianantiquitiesanddesign.blogspot.com/2012/09/knox-hill-neighborhood-announces-new.html

Haha. So, basically, he wants to spend the city's way to prosperity. How very Republican of him??

^ I wonder why they chose a picture of Mallory unveiling a temporary streetcar stop rather than the groundbreaking...

Saw them on Jimmy Kimmel or some such late night show that I wasn't really watching until I heard their name announced. Good stuff.

Ken & Jane should hook up.

Intermodal transportation staging area? What, I don't even.

Interesting to see. Never really thought about what I would think Bismarck would look like. But if I had, I wouldn't have been too far off. The McKenzie building is pretty sweet.

Awesome. Thanks!

I'm just happy the Bengals look 1,000x better than the Browns, at this point. I don't expect them to do as well as I'd hoped in the off-season, so I'm just looking at the bright side. It's still a young team. Fittingly for Cincinnati, they have gobs of potential, but have trouble breaking through the top-tier. Andy Dalton is the perfect example of this. I just hope if/when these guys have their potential realized, they are still Bengals. What's up with Green-Ellis and his fumbles? Crazy, right?

This mistyping unleashed the power of my imagination. I'm now picturing warp zones that only fish can pass through. And we don't know about them because we can't communicate with fish. Haha, awesome. I actually thought it was a neat neologism, combining fishwrap with the idea that they warp/distort facts. But that's not as fun as your interpretation. :)

Serious questions: Do you think the Enquirer cares? Do you think they want their coverage to be about the project's actual merits? I really think they just see it as something that fires people up and gets readers and commenters. In other words, it gets clicks. (I don't think it is as useful to them in the print copy, since no one will buy the paper just for streetcar coverage. But they certainly will visit the website for it. Many people will repeatedly, for each separate article.) If the coverage is crap and non-factual, then it will get more clicks, not less, because people will get fired-up and feel more motivated to comment. I stopped commenting on there when they switched to FB comments. Seems like a lot of people did. I don't read comments as much, either, especially on streetcar articles. My hope is they pick up on the comments against the Brent Spends Bridge and realize that is another pot they can stir. If they are going to be so cynical, they might as well use the power against the status quo. I use B$B just as an example. I think you are a proponent of the "replacement", but you can at least see the value in scrutinizing it and other auto-oriented projects with an eye towards ROI and regional/local land use implications. BTW, I have missed seeing you regularly posting.

The aftermath of the riots had some effect on Cincinnati's numbers for at least the innermost ring. Between 2000 and 2010, there was definitely a low point and bounce which isn't reflected here.

This is a staff editorial? Unreal. This reeks of an order from on high: more the expression of a business strategy than an opinion. If the streetcar controversy dies, what else will keep people reading the rag? It even ends by saying, until we have a "conservative plan," "we need to get off this train to nowhere." (Emphasis added.)
