  1. For page 700 shouldn't there be some kind of mention, recognition of WLW? like BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA or something?

    yeah, it's another victim of European colonial border rearranging, too

    It's funny, usually it's just the Japanese that get the crazy credit.
  4. This proposal is far older than libertarianism (or at least that label). It was originally John Locke's (or who knows, maybe even he cribbed it off someone, but his publications outlasted the other guy's). I didn't say they invented it or lay any claim to it, I said they were pushing it. Ronald Reagan didn't invent trickle down economics, he just pushed it.
  5. Libertarians have been pushing that - Land Tax? They don't want people "punished" for improving their property.
  6. We voted on setting up what we have now Hardly anybody voted, tho.
  7. The Clark County Genealogical Society wants to upgrade the Old Columbia Street Cemetery, believed to be the oldest cemetery in Clark County, but city leaders say money is currently not available for the project. http://m.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/genealogical-society-wants-historic-cemetery-upgra/ngrHM/ I have some pics here under DAR Pioneer Cemetery http://home.fuse.net/christol/CemPics/CemPics.html

  9. Ghosts from the land that time forgot The collection disappeared from public view after Acsinte’s death in 1984, until Cezar Popescu, 38, discovered it was sitting in a back room of Lalomita County Museum – exposed to the elements and even the occasional curious farm animal – and convinced the museum to let him preserve and digitise the plates. Popescu began the enormous task in November last year, and since then has digitised 1,000 plates, with an estimated 4,000 to go. The black-and-white photographs are beautiful but poignant, depicting a culture that has almost vanished in the wake of modernity.

    The end of the big-box store era may soon be upon us. That’s the message of a research note published by Goldman Sachs analysts on Tuesday cutting their investment rating on shares of Walmart. Shoppers are increasingly turning to the web or to smaller, more conveniently located stores, cutting into the market share of big-box retailers like Walmart and Target, the analysts wrote. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/30/big-box-store-dying_n_5630572.html
  11. Cranley's pick for city manager - Harry Black oh yay Harry Black, who was the center of political brawling between then-Mayor L. Douglas Wilder and Richmond City Council five years ago One of his nicknames was 'Baby Wilder' http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/ex-richmond-official-harry-black-now-finance-director-for-baltimore/article_fe948752-3d68-576e-be8e-07bed02ac576.html http://www.richmondmagazine.com/articles/the-mayors-man-11-09-2008.html
  12. Grayscale posted on FaceBook that their brewer partner in their plan to renovate a church in Cincinnati's Northside neighborhood on Blue Rock has, at the last minute, bailed on the deal. https://www.facebook.com/grayscalecincinnati
  13. What's it made of? Tile would be nice but an electronic display that could change would be cool, too.
  14. It would be great if somebody built a pyramid shaped building on the riverfront. Porktown & Clevo would be kinda like bookends on the state.

    Some bible thumpers just showed up at the door & asked me who I thought ran the world. I told them the shape shifting alien lizard men that David Icke exposed ruled the world. They had never heard of that. So, here's my beef - if you are going to go around evangelizing / proselytizing, you need to look at what you are NOT - not just what you are. They probably don't even know about the alien lizard men's robots kidnapping people off the street to use for batteries...
  16. Some kid got clobbered behind the Arts & Crafts building at the Clark County Fair http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/crime-law/info-needed-in-clark-county-fairgrounds-attack-tha/ngp44/

  18. They were talking about something like this off of Hong Kong, but a columbarium. In Ohio we could do something on the Ohio river and on Lake Erie. I'm sure Columbus would fight it tooth & nail, but...

    Th Oakley Sock Store, 1983. I had just moved to Cincinnati a year or two earlier & lived in Oakley for a year. This was on the north side of Madison just west of where the road dips down below the train tracks. I really wondered about what kind of town I had moved to...

  22. There's also Cedar Bog in the Springfield, Urbana area http://www.cedarbognp.org/ Part of the fun there is screaming up 68 and going all Vanishing Point where the highway ends because ODOT thought they could be slick & pave the thing if they paved right up to it.... losers
  23. A concept for a floating necropolis to be placed in the Dead Sea http://www.mirorivera.com/yarauvi.html

    How do we know these so called 'podcasts' aren't filled with all sorts of subliminal messages?
