    Howabout drive thru voting? I added the communities Tryintofoolyou brought up Probably no surprise access times from Green Township are a bit better. Of course you have to walk out of the township to find a bus stop. Current travel times look like this 1 hr - Mt Washington .25 - .5 hr Clifton .5 - 1 hr - Oakley .5 - 1 hr - Westwood .75 hr - Madisonville .75 - 1 hr - Sayler Park 1.25 hr Harrison 1 - 1.25 hr - Forest Park .75 hr - Terrace Park 1.5 hr - Green Township To get to the Mt Airy facility, times look like this 1.5 - 2 hr - Mt Washington .75 hr - Clifton 1 - 1.75 hr - Oakley .5 - 1 hr min - Westwood 1.5 - 1.75 hr - Madisonville 1.75 - 2 hr - Sayler Park 2 - 2.75 hr - Harrison 1 hr - Forest Park 1.25 - 2 hr - Terrace Park 1 - 1.25 hr - Green Township http://quimbob.blogspot.com/2014/01/self-interest-free-stuff.html

    Somebody over at NextDoor said Sammarco's plan was to move BOE records to Mt Airy but not the voting operations. I haven't seen anything about that elsewhere, but it makes sense.

    The pension liability in it's entirety is $2,100,000,000 or is that 80% ? Is the pension liability actually $2,625,000,000 at 100% ? That is, are we $870,000,000 short or only $420,000,000 ? http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20140121/NEWS/301210081/Railway-sale-proposal-tabled

    So instead of paying to park you pay a bus Driving, even without parking isn't free. Even if you ride a bike, skateboard, hang glide or whatever, it's not free.
  12. Quimbob replied to Boreal's post in a topic in Ohio Politics
    you don't need free parking at the current location. It's on a gazillion bus routes.

    If the plate was made with films, you should own them, too. Who owns what & who is responsible for what & how long it should be stored has been a big issue in printing. It just got weirder when everything went digital. My oldest online post was on this subject. :-)

    I was applying for a job at a printing company once & asked the receptionist what they did there - meaning boxes, catalogs, whatever... She told me it was a printing company.
  22. Quimbob replied to a post in a topic in General Photos
    Printing was still heavily influenced by the unions then. Jobs were paying up to $25/hr with plenty of OT back then. You might make that nowadays, too - which isn't as good.
