I think this would be a disservice to Mr McMicken

For a really sad view of Germany, check out the movie, Triumph of the Will. It was a Nazi propoganda movie made in 1935 that showcased beautiful young German people in their beautiful country & cities. The photography is great. It is heartbreaking knowing that Hitler pissed it all away in the years to come.

Are they going to bing back the regulated prostitution ?

When I moved to Cincinnati, one of the first things I noticed was the steps. As I didn't have a car at the time I saw their value immediately. Now, again, I don't have a car & I use the stairs a lot. These things are a great value to the city & could be a greater value if gas gets expensive or scarce. I think getting rid of them is very shortsighted.

Sweet Heaven Steely Dan is in there but not The MC5 ? They might as well induct Looking Glass

Most prospective buyers choose the suburbs. People who want the amenities of city life (walking) would likely opt for steps. So what's up with monitoring the cameras ?

ok How will you close them so people don't just step over the "STEPS CLOSED" sign. If a guy knows they're closed - he knows he has privacy as the law abiding residents won't use them. Great place to pee, get a blow job & smoke dope. No nosy people walking by. How about step parties ? The residents can hang out on the steps & make them an undesireable place for bad guys. Closing the steps is a first step to a gated community. I think the cameras are a good idea. Hav e you worked out who will monitor them ?

Are you going to visit Max in prison ? Seriously, people commiting the crimes want to not be seen. If people are not using the steps, I would imagine that would make the steps more attactive to the criminals. I would assume the lights & cleaning of brush would make them less attractive. I think the cameras are a good idea. I do not understand how someone installs a public phone illegally. I really do wish you guys the best. Thre has been a lot of work put into that street & it is in stark contrast to the street just below you. I just think it's a shame to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

What the heck is a temporary stairway closing, anyway, but putting up a sign you ust walk around ? When steps are outlawed only outlaws will have steps. :-) Aren't walking communities great ?

Interesting shot of the Taft Your nature pictures are great. I generally dismiss flower shots but I really like yours.

oh, here's another one http://www.theregister.com/2007/01/10/iphone_where_is_the_market/

The streets are so clean ! Do the residents actually respect their habitat ?

You guys sound like you need to hire a consulting firm.

too much ! Hell, Van Halen is doing porno movie soundtracks nowadays for Michael Ninn. I thought Patti Smith was already in The rock Hall of Fame is such a corny concept, anyway. I guess the Sex Pistols are refusing the infame.

Any idea who the original tenant for this bldg was ?

I always thought a Bollard was a cigarette

do you have a schedule further out ? airfares with less than a weeks notice are insanely high. 500 v 1400 bucks

I would just use the family name in that case. that is, The Smith Co. or whatever your name is.

Howabout MyTwoSense ?

They also have a good "Cuban" sandwich which I had never heard of but, I guess, is well known to Floridians.

Tarantula woman stewardesses sound kinda cool. Conjures up scenes from Lair of the White Worm.... Thanks, everyone.

AGH ! That's what I wanted the other day !

Deli & soup & sandwich shop They have some unique stuff. I got a tub of homemade Guinness mustard there. I only got it because I saw them making it there (and I like Guinness). It was ok.

Was just wondering if folks had advice for dealing with laptops & cameras in airports & on planes. Keep 'em out of the X-Ray machines & metal detectors ? I was planning a trip & figured I would keep everything in a carryon garment bag. I have read in places that I should have the laptop out & on when going through security. thanks for any advice

BAH I just went to Paula's in Findlay Market & it was closed. I heard they were going to open a place downtown but I just figured there would be 2 of 'em. I guess they just moved ?
