I like the way these north western towns look. Don't think I would want to live there, tho.

cookies look for cincinnati.com enquirer.com gannett.com

and to think - he lives in neither Blue Ash nor Cincinnati.....

Anybody have any suggestions on bike lighting products? It's changed a lot since I was a kid & we just carried around oil lamps & torches. thanks

don't like districts. I think people in Cincinnati identify more with their neighborhoods than their police district. I would imagine Oakley would resent being run by Hyde Park & Northside by Clifton, etc. I'd keep everything at large & maybe upgrade community council status. Luken & Lemmie downgraded the community councils for some reason.

^I have to agree with Quinlivan - do 1 thing at a time.

COA T has issued their endorsements for the November elections. surprise - it looks just like a Republican party line ballot. and for you folks who contend COA T is libertarian - note there are no Libertarians on their list. They oppose Issue 2 as any current Rebloodlican would and Cincinnati Issue 4 which would result in less government spending & make politicians more accountable (2 things COA T claims are needed)

Kinda getting back to the 'barren Cincinnati' thing... Here is a PDF of a pamphlet published in 1911 documenting Northside homes. http://www.northside.net/PDF/Northside_Homes_1911.pdf Unfortunately, it was scanned as linework so the photos are kinda encrapulated but you can get the idea.

how do these things fare with an emergency stop? Do you have to disengage the thing first?

Judicial Poll Results 2012 Leslie Ghiz didn't do so well.....

This isn't a photo, but an illustration by Winsor McCay for Life magazine from 1899 when he was living in Cincinnati. Nothing says it's Cincinnati but it sure looks like OTR. http://www.allstarcomicart.com/cgi-bin/item.pl?item=34 It also has his address as 2137 Gilbert.

It's making fun of the shallow people who get peeved at people in the worst time of their life for being a minor annoyance. Putting it into the context of a message from the mayor adds another layer of social stuff.

New Art Racks in Northside My only issue is that hey look too arty & not enough racky. The press release: ArtWorks Installs New Sculptural Bike Rack in Northside’s Jacob Hoffner Park Bike Rack is Ninth to be Installed through Queen City Art Racks Project ArtWorks installed their latest sculptural bike rack on Hamilton Avenue in Northside’s Jacob Hoffner Park. The bike rack is a part of ArtWorks’ Queen City Art Rack project, and was designed by local artist and metal worker Kate Demske. Queen City Art Racks is an ongoing initiative to bring artist-designed, functional bike racks to public spaces throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. In the process, it engages community stakeholders, employs professional artists, and strengthens the region’s transportation options by creating awareness around bicycle parking. Since its launch in the spring of 2010, Queen City Art Racks has created 14 opportunities for artists. The new art rack in Northside is the ninth to be installed. The design for this art rack was inspired by Northside history. Demske, who lives and works in Northside, shared, “This park was once the estate of Jacob Hoffner, noted Northside land owner and philanthropist. He was also an avid gardener, and Palm Street was named for the most famous plant in his greenhouse: a Sago Palm which had been owned by Robert Morris (one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence) before and during the Revolutionary War. This palm lived more than 130 years and was eventually donated to Horticultural Hall in Philadelphia. It's said that the only specimen that could rival it was owned by George Washington.” The project was sponsored by John Castaldi and Terry Bazeley, with additional support provided by MoBo Bicycle Co-op. Castaldi stated, “Terry and I see art created through ArtWorks every single day and believe very strongly that public art enriches the lives of all Cincinnatians. We are also very committed to Northside and our neighbors here and wanted to do something for our community. Finally, we wanted the rack to be designed by one of our neighborhood’s many artists and were thrilled with the choice of Kate Demske and the final result.” Those interested in designing or sponsoring an art rack should visit ArtWorksCincinnati.org/artracks/ About ArtWorks: Founded in 1996, ArtWorks is a non-profit arts organization that empowers and inspires the creative community to transform our everyday environments through employment, apprenticeships, education, community partnerships, and civic engagement.

County seeks levy for 911 service Champaign officials cite funding cuts, say services will be reduced without levy. "With the elimination of the Commercial Activity Tax, state revenue for the 911 center has declined by more than $78,000. The Ohio Wireless Tax was initially passed several years ago to help counties improve technology such as helping map the location of a cell phone in an emergency. It is expected to expire at the end of this year, which will mean a loss of an additional $85,000 in revenue by 2013. “Now that they’re going away, it’s going to be really impossible to maintain the level of service we have without the levy,” Evans said." http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/news/local/county-seeks-levy-for-911-service/nSTDz/

A mock ad campaign designed for a contest in England They won. (If this should have gone in Mass Transit I apologize.)

This is a race between 2 profoundly different viewpoints. The incumbent, Dr Lakshmi Sammarco, is looking towards the future while the challenger, Dr Peter Kambelos, wants to "do it the way we always did". While he sees no issue with political party in the office, he also states that Democrats are no good in the office. :wtf: http://keepsammarcocoroner.com/wp/ & of particular interest http://keepsammarcocoroner.com/wp/?page_id=276 and http://kambelos.com/default.aspx Their spot on Newsmakers http://www.local12.com/content/newsmakers/story/Newsmakers-September-23-2012/dxCjnITodEu-X2FsgKivjg.cspx

this is kinda crazy. I went into a Jack in the Box in San Diego about 30 years ago & never went back for a reason. Now Westchester is grinding to a halt due to the traffic at the new store there. go figure. http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/region_north_cincinnati/west_chester/traffic-snarls-in-front-of-new-jack-in-the-box

that makes sense. It looks like a lot of schools in Cincinnati. I was kinda hoping it was some wealthy Price Hilligans home but that's ok. I looked because I lived on a Kensington Place in Springfield.

C-Dawg, I have never heard of your problem & poking around, couldn't find anybody else with the same problem. It might be a hex on your house. Somebody with a laptop had something like it. For assistance you might try the LEM lists. http://lowendmac.com/lists/macintel.html

I heard one time that your hair is the roots of your brain. This might be proof of the veracity of that claim. Winburn proposes $175M fund to create jobs, reduce deficit 'Cincinnati City Council Job Growth Committee Chair Charlie Winburn has presented a proposal to use all of the proceeds from Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati to fund a revolving economic and neighborhood development job fund, which he says will help eliminate the City's estimated $40 million general fund deficit and move its pension system toward solvency.' http://www.building-cincinnati.com/2012/10/winburn-proposes-175m-fund-to-create.html

^And you will probably need 200 as you continually pound on them every day in utter frustration.

And another Hot Heads in Springfield. Article sez they were opening a new location every other week this summer. hope they are not expanding too fast. http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/business/burrito-chain-to-open-second-local-store/nSQwF/

What's the story on the property bounded by Osage, Woodlawn, Kensington place & Mansion Ave? Was this a home? A cemetery? A park? It looks like a park now. The walls, houses & sky make for a pretty dramatic scene in streetview. https://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&q=kensington+place,+cincinnati&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x8841b67f081738f7:0x773c3178e7a93005,Kensington+Pl,+Cincinnati,+OH+45205&gl=us&ei=XQVqUNGTFeqB0QHgnoGYCw&ved=0CCEQ8gEwAA

I noticed he wrote a LTE but didn't comment on it. Ot, at least, he wasn't the first to comment on it. Natininja might be on to something, tho. If a lot of people started posting radical comments on some subject maybe the Fishwarp would take the bait & obsess on something like Mt Adams sidewalks or whatever.

1,000 new local jobs expected in insurance, financial fields Success with Assurant, CodeBlue and call centers has Springfield leaders looking for more companies. "Local officials anticipate 1,000 new jobs within six years in insurance and business administration." Sounds pretty optimistic.... http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/business/1000-new-local-jobs-expected-in-insurance-financia/nSNj5/
