  4. I will never eat at a Jeff Ruby establishment again. Actually this IS important.
  5. Considering how militant people get over the Pepsi vs. Coke thing, I'd have thought they would have gone by surveying their clientele - not just making an accounting decision.
  6. Is this an attempt to get the young mobile device user to buy a car? Folks in this thread haver said that the use of these devices dissuades yunguns to buy cars. Apple and Google are preparing to compete on yet another front. They reportedly plan to race each other to design the world's most powerful smart car dashboard. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/30/google_and_apple_square_up_for_road_race/

  12. This movie is (somewhat) about the teams of guys who check your ticket on the Budapest subway. I think something like this on the streetcar would be pretty cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO2KFEaVjhg
  13. The drivers don't always play the announcements anyway

    Does anyone outside of SW Ohio know who Portune is? Fitzgerald was smart to start campaigning so early. Dunno if Portune thinks he can get the state parties to rig the election for him the way they did on a county level...

    The Fishwarp is now leaking that Portune IS running.
  16. Rocket packs, catapults would move people quicker.
  17. Is this a possible alternative to the catenary systems? Plenty of buzz where the route goes. http://www.pratt.duke.edu/news/wireless-device-converts-lost-energy-electric-power

  19. Murray was asking how CAF has "spent so much money" even though we don't have a finished streetcar yet. Apparently she doesn't understand that these are custom-made vehicles that take months to build. She must think you can just stroll down to WalMart and pick up a streetcar off the shelf. thanks - she seems more clueless every day.
  20. Well, the Art Museum likes the Hop On Cincy concept. http://www.architectmagazine.com/infrastructure20projects/the-cincinnati-streetcar-and-other-trends-in-public-transit_o.aspx?dfpzone=culture
  21. Saw a comment on the 'Warp about Amy Murray questioning CAF? Their competence or something? What was that about?

I remember hearing that she was involved with the demolition of many theaters. I don't know. http://www.springgrove.org/obituary.aspx?id=1442

    Dunno, could be, looks like there's a barricade down there.
  24. Lookin' up Cranley, the Gold Star fam is Eastern Orthodox. A lot of Chinese in the US are Christian.
