KyleCincy you are in shoulda woulda coulda territory. it's pointless.

bear in mind there is some politics - pretty bizarre politics - going on with the streetcar. Some people might argue that NASA is robbing us of funds for rail transit and some might argue that the streetcar doesn't go far enough - that Mars would be a better destination than uptown. oh, wait, that might fall under immature.

dunno about hugging him, but his enthusiasm on his Newsmakers appearance was infective.

check out The Flock The generic flock - not the elitist seagull flock.

too bad we wasted all that money in Iraq, KyleCincy, sheesh...

Ohio uses fiscal emergency. I don't know if that gets the city out of pension obligations. I don't think so. Still, it would deliver Cincinnati into the hands of the GOP.

The Bleat calls out The Fishwarp's bistro math http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-5277-how_the_enquirer_got_today’s_anti_streetcar_story.html

and it costs a fortune.

'warp has a poll http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2013/11/15/should-city-immediately-halt-streetcar-project/ It's really fascinating how ignorant the folks are who want to stop the streetcar.

I took a picture of that Clifton Skyline about 6-7 years ago from a slightly different angle and I STUB, the same car was in front of it.

Maybe we shouldn't be pursuing a recall, but a mental competency hearing.

I always wondered how much money Smitherman gave Media Bridges. Probably nothing since I would guess he would have brought it up for fundraisers & such, but maybe he is just modest.

Media Bridges is counting on Cranley. Apparently he vowed to keep them 'properly funded'. As usual, what Cranley says means nothing and I don't know where he will find the money, but I'm sure Smitherman would relish the free venue to vent his madness. From Exec Director Bishop: With the election of a new mayor and six new members of council, it looks like there may be some hope for the future of Media Bridges. Mayor-elect John Cranley said in an interview which aired on Media Bridges Public Access Channel 4, "Media Bridges will have my support for being properly funded." That's great news for all of you who have given so much of your efforts to inform, entertain and organize in our community. We will be meeting with Mr. Cranley in the near future to see what next steps will be. We may need YOUR help to make this happen so please do stay tuned. We may need your efforts to show council that there is support for Media by the people here in the Queen City.

per litigation costs - doesn't the city have a separate fund set up for paying off lawsuits? Maybe CO has drained it, I don't know.

pretty sure it's Quimbobites

Not sure where to post this - anyway, the Cincinnati GLBTQ center has ceased bricks & mortar operations and is going all online. Hopefully, they will eventually become inclusive enough to include all the letters of the alphabet. http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/gay-lesbian-community-center-in-northside-closes-becomes-online-only-resource-for-glbtq-community

Saks, leaves downtown. Interesting that this final decision came AFTER the election. I would assume they figured any deal with Mallory would be null & void. http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2013/11/13/saks-fifth-avenue-leaving-downtown.html

the Enquirer is Republican.

oh, holy crap - I guess they are endorsing the current trash policy, too?

OK, the day after Fishwarp endorsed Cranley gets elected, the paper runs pro streetcar articles. The day after Cranley announces the parking lease dead, they run an article supporting the parking lease.. Maybe the editorial staff is huffing solvent fumes from their abandoned press rooms...

great Cranley already vowed to raise rates and now he can do so without any caps. It also raises the question of where he will get the cash to pay the city's share of the MLK interchange. I'm starting to think the guy is loonier than Smitherman.

Flash conflict? Is it too much for phone hardware?

WXIX did an in depth investigation http://www.wxix.com/story/23900091/amy-wagner-talks-with-john-cranley-about-streetcar-funding Well, they talked to Cranley for maybe 5 minutes...
