  11. If the Windbag notes the wind shifting direction, he'll be all over it.
  12. I doubt the planners had 'those people' in mind... Still, did these guys go out to the areas and ask if residents & businesses wanted them? Yhey oughtta put a big station at the Mohawk building in Central Parkway....
  13. It always amazes me how seldom I see an Ohio flag in Cincinnati.

    The Cincinnati news put this in Dayton. The Dayton news put it in Springfield. Someone from Springfield told me it was in Tipp City. whatever
  16. Building permits, inspection fees up Special event permits up some new fees (taxes) stiffing CPS He seems pretty optimistic in estimating costs will go down on sewer & water.

    Per my previous post about my stupid camera question... Any recommendations to replace a Canon Powershot s2 is ? I'm fine with the camera's functions but it's not functioning & the lens cap FLIES off the thing. I have to wrap it in rubber bands when I take it out to keep the lens cap on. I do not want another Canon. Thinking $250-350. thanks
  24. A million years ago, I got some new speakers & a guy told me they made records he didn't like sound good. I don't know what $300 equates to nowadays but I don't think it's $50k and if you're playing MP3s....
