  1. wow, Cranky sure squandered his closing remarks. Sounded like Qualls got more applause. I don't think these guys are the low information types Cranley is depending on.
  2. she's finally hitting back
  3. Discussing jobs, Qualls never mentioned the streetcar sigh...

    Nice way to end the article...... The idea might be a little scary, but it’s also extremely efficient. In fact, some day, the machines won’t need us humans at all. Yep, nothing scary about that! Well, the ones running on bio mass will have a reason to keep us around.
  8. Unfortunately this is on the Politics Blog page that pretty much just political junkies read. This needs to get out to the low info voters that Cranky depends on.
  9. actually it's biennial but what the heck... NORTHSIDE's 9th BI-ANNUAL PORCH TOUR October 12th, 6 until 9pm departing from St. Boniface on Pitts St. Come join the 150 homes on tour this year as you ride one of two, twenty-person horse drawn carriages, lit by a ribbon of over 3,000 luminaria. Circa 1900 period porches will be explained by the tour guides. Citizens-on-Patrol will be grilling up the dogs, Whiz Kids neighborhood youth will host a Bake Sale, St. Boniface Volunteers will be serving beer, sodas, coffee and water. Northside's own "All about the Music" will perform, bringing a era of jazz and blues to the wonderful autumn evening we are about to have. Happen, Inc. viewing of the "Sisters and the Magic Spindle" will be showing. Volunteers are needed for a Saturday morning cleanup along the tour route, October 5th, 9am-11am, meet on Hanfield St. @ Wilter. Volunteers are also needed for October 12th set-up and working during the event, contact [email protected] or 520-7112 (cell) to be a part of a great team!
  10. Cincinnati hires cocaine addict whoremonger who disrespects his superiors well, ok, or something like that http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/jeffrey-blackwell-background-check-of-next-cincinnati-police-chief-reveals-past-with-ups-and-downs A lot of Googling & hysterics in the comments.

    Is the city pretty much abandoned? Saw 5 people in 3 pictures. Or were you walking around screaming crazy stuff while snapping pics?

This could open up all sorts of possibilities with sex robots. Bring on the apocalypse!
  14. Dillingham & Moroski on the Dan Hurley show 9/15 maybe, someday, there will be a distorted version online here http://www.local12.com/entertainment/features/newsmakers/#.UjXVfODvMUh Dillingham seemed intelligent & well spoken.
  15. ditto props to the people canvassing for Qualls - I couldn't do it.
  16. It'd be interesting with some pretty older women who bring up getting out of the nursing home. A geo trcking device would probably help sell the things.
  17. LOL, yeah, Qualls had Herrell tossed out of council chambers for screaming obscenities during meeting once (at least). She definitely seems like more of a Cranley/Smitherman girl.
  18. wonder what color shirt he will want officers to wear. red? grey?
  19. Maybe they think there's job security in having a lot of vacant, fire trap buildings all over town.

    HR guy at Kenner laughed at me when I told him I was from Springfield. Cincinnati Enquirer described Springfield as a town that had only recently discovered the electric light bulb. I felt VERY welcomed when I first moved to Cincinnati. FWIW, the head of the pattern making shop at Kenner looked at my job experience & portfolio & had me as a finalist for the job of apprentice pattern maker. They hired a guy with real pattern making experience, tho.

  22. Fishwarp is developing a series on how welcoming the city is to outsiders. Inbred smugness permeates city I can kinda agree with this guy but never had it as bad as he has and I will acknowledge that I have my own issues. I think it might have to do with your socio-economic status, too (moreso than east/west stuff). http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130912/EDIT02/309120040?fb_comment_id=fbc_192532437586306_440648_192622217577328
  23. The Fishwarp is insane Headline: 'Destroy' streetcar memo, judge suggests first line: A judge has ordered Duke Energy to “destroy” or give back a city-produced memo the utility says contains critical information to determine whether the city or Duke will have to pay to relocate underground utility lines to build the streetcar. So is it a suggestion or an order? Fortunately the Warp provides an image of the 100% redacted document... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130911/NEWS010801/309110129/
  24. it's a percent change. Since ND has such a small population, all the new jobs have brought in a lot more drivers & since stuff is so spread out, people are driving further distances to get to the jobs. I'm guessing...
  25. ok, this map kinda proves OKI's point on driving not going down in the area http://m.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2013/08/americas-driving-less-and-evidence-suggests-it-cant-be-just-about-economy/6706/
