^ Maybe you could do a post curating the best ones? Rather than just aggregating them all? Just a thought! It looks so awesome, I just want a home right on the park :-D And I am thinking there will be people who are actually in a position to get one who will think the same thing! Win! Edit: I retract my statement, since I have looked through most of the pics now and none of them are bad. Either you did curate, or the place is just absurdly photogenic. Or people actually noticed when they took bad pictures and didn't upload those ones...which is unlikely.

LOL, yup. In case they take it down, I will vouch that it is there now.

Aye, the curse of being well-traveled/having lived a bunch of places.

^ White-on-(I'm guessing but maybe not)white crime. Botched murder-suicide. When will the white community speak up?

1) That is terrible. 2) When he says he can make my booty pop, I believe him. Just look what he did to his own belly button!

Cool. Looks like they are building a lot of rail stations. More than anywhere else in the country, I'd imagine. That's sort of your thing, right?

You seem pretty invested in Cali. Are you gonna stay out there?

Why are all the freak bad weather words inherited from Spanish? Derecho, El Nino?

This implies Ohio is not unique, or that its unique attributes are not good. I suppose you could argue that no cities/states/etc. have anything 100% unique. (So what if NYC has Broadway? I can see performing arts in Chattanooga!) But I think you need to spend more time traveling and living elsewhere if you can't see unique attributes that make living in Ohio appealing. I love Cincinnati's unique neighborhoods, stellar architecture, park system, topography, hillside steps, chili parlors. I love its European-American vibe with its narrow downtown streets, alleys and buildings, German heritage, corner pub culture, pace of life and work/life balance, alongside the river frontier town feel and history, brewing heritage, and beacon of freedom for slaves escaping the south. Other places might have some of these things. Nowhere has them all, or pulls them off in the same way, as Cincinnati does. I will leave other cities to others to highlight their unique strengths. I focus on a city because no one really moves "to a state". They move to a city or metro.

Speaking of Republicans for the streetcar, isn't its biggest proponent, John Schneider, a Republican?

Okay, I'm usually halfway proficient at figuring out blowhard logic, but this one has me scratching my head a bit. So far, my scratchpad says: Choir games = foreign = communist = Obamacare Am I getting close? Seriously, how can you diss something so obviously, directly, and instantly profitable for the region? I don't usually take much credence in the idea that people hate the city, but this would make a pretty strong case.

^ 95%ers are not welcome.

Jeff Ruby seems like he has been on a coke binge since the 80s and still thinks Reagan is president.

At least there are less smokers on our health insurance policies, on medicaid, or somewhere between those two.

Might pass for a rendering for the Knox Hill Neighborhood Association.

Ohio has had decriminalized pot since the 70s. Under 100 grams gets a citation with a $150 ticket or so. That is about as lenient a penalty as you can find anywhere outside of Holland. Actually, in Holland you are limited to personal possession of 5 grams, so the penalty for 100 might be stiffer than Ohio's. A bong in Ohio, however, is treated the same as a crack pipe. Go figure.

^ I was immune to coffee, until I cut off soda, coffee, etc., for a couple years. Now it affects me roughly like it's supposed to (it's still maybe a little weak, but I can't just drink a cup and reliably go to bed right after). But if I drink a lot of it in a short period, the tolerance comes back very quickly.

^ Yeah, I kind of feel having two stadia on the river is enough in terms of entertainment complexes. Whatever goes in place of US Bank Arena should definitely have a heavy residential component, IMO.

This should be interesting.

Oh noes! Ohio is invading "Outside of Ohio"!

It wouldn't be too late to do now, but it wouldn't happen. Sure wish it passed ten years ago, though! I know I voted for it.

Don't we have a minor league soccer team? The Kings, I think?

Yeah, I agree. HamCo voted one down in 2002.

^ Doubtful with Kasich around.

My instincts say Cincinnatians could not conjure up enough enthusiasm to support a MLS team. But maybe that's me since I wouldn't want to go to any soccer games.
