The High Cost of Free Parking
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.

The High Cost of Free Parking
Libertarians have been pushing that - Land Tax? They don't want people "punished" for improving their property.

Romania - 1925 through the 40s
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.

Cincinnati: Urban Grocery Stores
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

Cincinnati: Downtown: The Banks
It would be great if somebody built a pyramid shaped building on the riverfront. Porktown & Clevo would be kinda like bookends on the state.

Pet Peeves!
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...
