  1. They need to investigate why so many people in towns with streetcars want to commit suicide.

    There was a flood in Springfield 2/25/29 At the IH plant on Lagonda Fountain & High Clean up @ Fountain and High
  3. I'm not even putting this in the streetcar thread because it is just so guano crazy. http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/i-team/cincinnati-streetcar-critics-streetcar-will-cause-accidents-deaths WCPO informs of the dangers of the streetcar - apparently drivers run into these things and die. Brinkman? check They even dragged out tongue tied Michael Patton. Wonder why these guys haven't come out against buildings & guard rails...

  5. au contraire. That was a major factor in my moving to Porktown. Bogart's & Riverfront.
  6. yeah, the concert thing is bugging me, too, but I will admit to being pretty out of it regarding what's popular. I have looked at tour schedules for some time now & nobody comes even close. They skip all of Ohio, Indiana & Kentucky usually. Bruce Springsteen seems like what Riverbend would get - boring old farts. I just figured the problem was local promoters - not the facility.

    From the Gem City
  8. I think the whole boom box thing was more about a techno fad than anything to do with music. At some point people realized that lugging those things around & keeping batteries charged was just a PITA. That & you were pretty much just broadcasting, "rip me off rip me off".
  9. I've seen young healthy people go from one stop to the next. and pay cash
  10. dmerkow asked, in 2008, "Fascinating, it would interesting to hear the stories of how those got built. What was going on that people thought that those towns would benefit from that level of capital investment." I forget when Credit Life started. For a while, they were in the Guardian Bank building on Limestone across from the Regent theater. Going way back there was a cafeteria there. But I digress... Later they built the building at Limestone & High on the SE corner. The place was a real boy's club - think Madmen. They were growing like crazy and when the city decided to demolish downtown, they bought a corner for their sleek black tower. I don't know if they even moved in - the company just kinda imploded. For a while it just sat unfinished. The downtown really sucked for awhile. Clark State took over the building at Limestone & High. I think they moved into the black building, too. The newspaper recently moved into the building.
  11. On the north side of High street, a block east of the center block. Over by the library & the men's club.
  12. Folks in Clifton, Northside & College Hill are all looking at options. Any one would be fine by me but I think it's most important for the Clifton community to have a general store.
  13. Looks like Cranky is caving on late night hours http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2014/02/19/exclusive-cranley-drops-evening-meter-hours/ Did any of the later parking times come with longer limits at the parking space?
  14. Toronto is embarking on an anti texting / distracted driver campaign by issuing police officers hearses to pull over scofflaws. Dunno if Ford was behind it... In a week-long campaign called “That Text or Call Could End It All,” police will be pulling over distracted drivers in a funeral vehicle. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/02/10/being_pulled_over_by_a_hearse_sends_a_message_dont_text_and_drive.html

    National clown shortage may be approaching As the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus returns to Brooklyn Thursday, membership at the country's largest clown organizations has plunged over the past decade amid declining interest, old age and higher standards for the jokesters. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/exclusive-national-clown-shortage-approaching-article-1.1616801

    Sorry, it's 4% believe in the alien shape shifters & 7% aren't sure. A poll last year on conspiracy theory acceptance. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_National_ConspiracyTheories_040213.pdf

    That's not funny. But I think it's about 1 in 10 think the world might be run by alien reptilian shape shifters, so.....

    People who can't keep their cel phones charged. What else are you going to do when you are asleep?
  22. I'm assuming he typed 'thron' & auto correct went with thrown instead of throne because more people talk about things being thrown than about thrones but given the grammatical context.....
  23. Does this make 'ColDayMan' kinda like 'Deep Throat' ?
  24. The employees were supposed to be transferred.
