Portland has streetcars ?

^In this day and age, I can't believe the Drop In center can't be declared a nuisance.

"Ivanna Destroya" ! cool - looks like Dayton and Akron have teams, too.

I haven't even seen one.

http://thirdview.org/3v/rephotos/index.html A mildly obnoxious Flash site that requires pop up blocking be turned off but is kinda interesting. It shows various locations out west rephotographed over the years.

That first shot gets one of my favorite aspects of downtown & OTR in Cincinnati. You can be in the middle of a large city but as you look up the street - you see a wooded hillside in the distance.

that one just has desktop written all over it.

cool except - will they have to move ? They used to be in the student union

I can't believe I am posting in the sports section ........ June 16 Cincinnati v Minnesota @ Cinci Gardens http://www.cincinnatirollergirls.com/

Property taxes are probably higher because Terrace Park sucks

That's great !

^sure, it's not like it is Athens.

Gold caps taken after shooting BY EILEEN KELLEY | [email protected] NORTHSIDE - At first it seemed just plain cold: a young man killed for his car and wallet, something family members of Johnny Harris say he easily would have given up when he was shot to death outside his home last week. Now, they've learned that Harris, 25, was also stripped of his thick gold chain and his gold caps - jewelry that fits over the top or bottom set of teeth. They are also known as grills or grillz. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070613/NEWS01/706130362

^ I got pretty much what I expected. A lot of the stuff in the 10.5 OS release seems to just be making existing stuff easier. If the networking part works right - it will be worth an upgrade. "Spaces" has been in Linux for a long time - it is nice when you get used to it. "Stacks" just seems to be an easier way to put a folder of stuff in the dock & then display it in a quirky way. Jobs was pushing the heck out of Keynote. I thought Apple had dropped the app. BTW did you notice Quicktime is no longer in the main navigation of Apple's website ? hmmmm

Apple's Safari browser (built on KDE's Konqueror browser for Linux) is now available in beta form for Mac AND Windows http://www.apple.com/safari/

typical liberal...... From http://www.bedroomacrobat.com/ Just a quick FYI while the team here gets ready to launch the all new site: Eric Linden is not affilated with the content of this site in ANY way... and we wish him the best of luck! We are here as a comical, silly and extremist view of sex as a whole, not a porn site!! Relax and laugh a little... And if you are not a Bedroom Acrobat, that is you and your significant others problem, not mine! Thanks and check back soon,

cool One thing - and this is a real sorta polite, PC, kiss ass, it's only an island from the water sort of thing: Under "Neighborhoods" you list autonomous cities that may not appreciate being labeled as a "Neighborhood of Dayton". "Communities" maybe ?

Did it have anything on inter-species couples ?

oh man, the streetcar plan was roundly drubbed on the McRothenberg Group tonight. I don't think they got it, tho. They kept acing like it was something to be used as entertainment. oh well, I'm guessing I was the only person watching, so it probably doesn't matter.

Why do you think another jail is going to "fix the crime problem" ? To this day, I don't really understand who is in the county jail and for how long. I know it is taking longer and longer for people to get to trial but nobody seems to want to put pressure on the judges or grand juries to move things along. If a guy is just unable to post bond, I don't think he can be forced by the county into any kind of treatment while he is just awaiting trial. That would come after sentencing which will frequently put the guy into the state correctional facility and out of the reach of the county. Then, of course, there are the city councilmen who want to pass more laws to put more people into an already overcrowded jail for no good reason.

Of light rail and streetcars: a Cincinnati fable Your voice: Erwin Hoffman Some folks in Paradox were concerned that things had become too static in their town. They figured that a race between a hare and a tortoise would create a lot of interest. Several committees talked about how to organize the event, because laying out a course would take volunteers and money. Some said it would be a boondoggle. Others, known as NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard), said they didn't want the smelly animals in their neighborhood. The promoters said the hares were specially bred and unlike the hares that hang around backyards eating the lettuce. And, they were sleek and fast runners and would not bother anyone. Lost in the shuffle was the tortoise. He didn't get talked about much, except by a small group of people. They wanted to use an old-fashioned, vintage-type of turtle. The NIMBYs weren't really concerned about the tortoise, because they didn't believe he would ever make it out their way; he would get lost downtown. There was so much fuss raised about a tortoise-hare race that it was dropped. Instead, the pushers decided to build a track in the downtown streets. Some general agreement did exist, but some felt that this would be bad for traffic. They suggested that flying bats be hung over the streets. However, the town had other issues and nothing happened. Meanwhile, the burghers across the creek bought some sleek hares and installed special tracks for the hare and tortoise. People from everywhere came to marvel. The burghers of this town now find themselves weeping tears all the way to the bank. Erwin Hoffman of Hyde Park, who is retired from the Cincinnati Planning Commission staff, is vice president of Cincinnati Street Railway Inc., a group advocating streetcars in Cincinnati. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070605/EDIT02/706050338/1090/EDIT

There are maps showing part 1a & 1b in this pdf tht appears to be just a bunch of powerpoint slides. http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/city/downloads/city_pdf16341.pdf I am assuming this is the presentation delivered at City Hall the other night. If so, can anyone tell me if there were some kind of special plans for the Moerlein/KD Lamp bldg ?

Did you live anywhere near the intersection of Main St & Main St ?

Don't mean to sound ungrateful, but do we get a peek at the videos ?
