    ^^I think that might be a fairly American belief. Reading about Romania & Greece, their national heritage seems very tied to racial ethnic heritage.

    Cat Ballou? Greaser's Palace? The Loved One? A lot of the silent comedies tended to be kinda slapstick anyway. 12:08 East of Bucharest is pretty good Big Tits Zombie is hilarious but I think it would fall under slapstick or maybe splatterstick - actually there seems to be a genre of Japanese jiggle/horror/comedy/splatter movies that crack me up - probably not for everybody, tho.
  3. It's been updated. Sounds like a friend did call police and when they arrived the woman was "found" unconscious. But I'm reading between the lines.

  9. Living & commuting alone, getting colds, flu, plague was a worry for me when I started riding the bus. I'd seen my coworkers with kids drop like flies during flu season. I was happily surprised that I never caught anything.
  10. http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/blog/2013/07/jungle-jims-has-teamed-up-with.html Jungle Jim's is working with Google to not only map their stores but add the aisles to the Google Maps street view.
  11. Northside project aims for 'urban, gritty feel' um... ok Does Northside need any more restaurants? "About 100 apartments and up to four restaurant spaces are planned for the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Blue Rock Street, a 2.4-acre site that was long home to the Myron Johnson lumberyard. Milhaus Development plans to start the 15-month construction process in April." Article & renderings: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20130717/BIZ01/307170014/New-choices-Northside-renters
  12. that's what I was thinking, too. What's DBE?
  13. Moody's Downgrades Cincinnati Bond Rating A couple reasons why. One is different from past ratings: "High pension burden associated with the city's exposure to two statewide multi-employer cost-sharing plans" This involves police pension plans. Has this hit other Ohio cities? http://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-downgrades-Cincinnatis-OH-GO-to-Aa2-from-Aa1-downgrades--PR_277877

    Did the whole historic photo thread get creamed? oh well here's a bunch of turn of the century pics around the US. Lotta boats, harbors, bridges & cities. Cleveland even makes an appearance to make it kinda Ohio oriented. http://photosilke.blogspot.co.at/2013/03/historic-pictures-restored.html

  18. Ruth’s Parkside Cafe to open in Northside "The American Can Building in Northside will be the home of Ruth’s Parkside Cafe, a new restaurant with links to the former Mullane’s Parkside Cafe, Downtown. That’s a restaurant that is still remembered fondly, though it closed in 2004." http://cincinnati.com/blogs/dining/2013/07/15/ruths-parkside-cafe-to-open-in-northside/
  19. FWIW Cincinnati City Council http://urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,12760.0.html and 2013 Cincinnati Mayoral Election http://urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,26594.0.html
  20. So are they building north of Central Parkway first, i.e. the "OTR loop"? And 6 MONTHS between substantial completion of all work and the start of passenger service? WTH? yes, OTR is first; I'll get more details, but I'd imagine its FTA safety and security certification I would imagine they would start from the car barn
  21. I would imagine CO will protest a private firm issuing tickets/fines.
  22. The video of Cranky losing control of his committee meeting is on YouTube.
  23. 4. Pension fund trustee's office was ransacked I don't recall this.
