He's ushering in an era of post partisan hope and change to Urban Ohio. ;-)

What on earth is with the longhorns shirt?

Wow, that's awful.

The stream or whatever that bridge crosses is the border between two Transportation Analysis Zones. The colloquial name for the TAZ on the other side, provided by the local rednecks, is rather offensive.

I think the splash park at Sawyer Point has higher jets. Haven't been there in a few years, though, so that might be different now, or my memory might be wrong (pretty sure it's not!).

Every pic I have seen of those jets makes me feel like they are low/wimpy and need to shoot at least twice the height they do currently. Maybe the aim is to make it kid-sized, or maybe it's an energy/water conservation thing. I don't know, but it would feel more grand with more height. Nice pic of the shadow creatures in the glistening water, BTW.

I found this a few weeks ago, looking at '90s music relates videos. Bob Nastanovich of Pavement is on MTV, wearing a Southgate House t-shirt (skip to 1:55 to see it well, though he is jumping around in his purple shirt at the beginning, too). The Southgate House was a staple Cincinnati-area music venue since the mid-'70s located in a historic mansion in Newport, KY. It had its last show this past New Year's Eve. The building is pictured on Bob's shirt, but you can see more pics and read about the venue and its closing here: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20111128/ENT03/111128015/Southgate-House-closing It's reopening as the "Thompson House", but no one seems to be too excited for it. The flavor and authenticity left with the change in ownership. The former owners of the Southgate House say they will reopen at an as-yet-unnamed location. This whole video is '90s gold! :)

^ I so didn't notice that on the first look through.

I hope he is not BSing, but I can tell you Delta never showed its cards before each announcement of another cutback. All the time it was "the hub is staying blah blah blah".

Cool.

Cool.

^ Thanks. Is there any multimodal element?

^ Wow, those pics are small. Can't see jack ish. Is this part of an interstate? I don't know what the innerbelt is.

Holy sh!t dude! Glad you're okay. If that were me I would've pried the knife out of their hand and stabbed the motherf&cker back.

^^ With all that density, there is not much traffic!

Looks like I have magical summoning powers! :) Welcome back. (Now where is that other northern friend of ours, Scrabble?) It will have an interesting effect on the nebulous gravity of the burbs up there, that is for sure. I'm not familiar enough with the area to make any bold predictions. It's pretty ambitious so there's definitely the distinct possibility that it will fall on its face in a few years' time, but if it succeeds as it is designed its effects will reverberate far and wide. The thing is, the primary competitive edge it has is being new. Strategic location is part of it, but basically any nearby exit off 75 would be similarly as good a location. The threat of competition looms large, especially as the development gets 10, 20+ years old. Then all this new infrastructure which needs tax dollars to maintain starts to look like a ... boondoggle.

Looks like the Burj Khalifa...

Wow. I miss kjbrill, I wonder where he ran off to. Maybe Austin Landing! If so, he'll have plenty to eat pretty soon!

Young and Classy =/= Old and Tired!

Wonder what its occupancy rate is!

This definitely isn't news, but it's news to me. I might be the only Ohioan not to know this: The predecessor to the NFL was the Ohio League, made entirely of teams from Ohio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_League

^ From the comment section: Wow, this brings so much deja vu it's ridiculous! It's so nice to not be reading that on the Enquirer day-in-day-out, not that we are completely out of the forest. Can't wait till the thing is operational. Godspeed, Milwaukee!

And then there is a matter of forgetting where the damned thing is parked. :)

I just thought it was funny because the river is obviously where the center of activity was historically -- the raison d'etre for there even being a downtown/city. Your old lines also actually cut through buildings on the southeast side of town, where I-71 is tunneled under Lytle Park. How are you calculating the population numbers, inclusion of census block centroids? From 2010?

Hahaha, you're going to exclude the riverfront from Cincinnati's downtown?
