    ^Robert Pence - where did you get your screen name? I always thought it was pretty wild - out there.
  2. HTH http://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-affordable-places-retire-europe-210723144.html FWIW, I think Romania comes in even cheaper.
  3. Sure you're just not waiting long enough for the comments to load? The Enquirer's MacII servers & Zuckerberg's folly aren't the swiftest bits of tech out there.
  4. ^$100M in litigation? better check with Luken on that. It's probably closer to $500B.

    ^That's what I was getting at. As far as the JW's & the industrial park - they should have zoned out non-profits & churches from the outset. At this point I don't think they have a case. Would love to HamCo Neocons get hit with a religious discrimination suit, tho.....
  6. Finney & COA T are not libertarian. If they were, they would be fighting the big centralized government's unelected agency, the FAA, getting involved & screwing things up for local government.

    well, they will pack hotels & restaurants.
  8. Capell is a ranting, raving lunatic. The official from Blue Ash calmly and rationally shot down his lying COAST talking points. It's a plus that the Enquirer posted the story on an obscure blog on their website and not on their main news pages, so few people are ever going to read it. what's so different about the front page?

    oh man, was just watching Finney's presentation to Hamilton County for the Jehovah's Witness center. He is promising all sorts of fantastic financial windfalls but it's all based on results in similar cities & words like probably, expected, hopefully & predicted come up over & over again. hmmmmm.........
  10. Opponents of the streetcar are frequently criticized for tying anything & everything to the streetcar, the proponents here seem equally adept.
  11. Royal Saudi Air Force orders 193 engines from GE Aviation GE Aviation received an order from the Royal Saudi Air Force for 193 engines to power 84 twin-engine Boeing F-15SA aircraft. With this order, worth more than $1 billion, the Royal Saudi Air Force becomes the largest operator of F110 engines other than the U.S. government. http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2012/08/08/royal-saudi-air-force-orders-193.html

  13. City Data has median income of Blue Ash at just under $73,000 and Cincinnati at just under $33,000
  14. Partnership Produces New Bike Program "In thinking about how to combine sustainability with activity, I learned about a new initiative underway with the Clark County-Springfield Transportation Coordinating Committee (CCSTCC)," Duraj said. "Using a portion of an Ohio Department of Transportation and Federal Highway grant, I partnered with Louis Agresta of the CCSTCC, the group Green Wittenberg and our Student Senate in establishing a new bike program." http://www4.wittenberg.edu/features/2012/bike/

    I guess this should be in the CW thread but there isn't one, so, what the heck.... http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/08/06/will-you-like-bill-cunningham/ Bill Cunningham is offering cash for tips for his TV show & begging for FaceBook likes.
  16. The whirlwind of crazy with Sheen, Winburn, Smitherman & Thomas would be seriously amusing to watch. Sheen's cars rolling down hillsides would certainly take the focus off Seelbach, too.
  17. ^hence COA T - everything these louts do winds up costing the government, subsequently the taxpayers MORE money. In other words, more spending. Their efforts to raise the cost of government & to strangle tax revenue at the same time is nothing more than anarchist BS.
  18. Amazon set to nearly double Hebron, KY facility - add 900 jobs. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120805/NEWS0103/308050027/Amazon-hire-hundreds-Ky-?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
  19. and then he resigns http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120804/NEWS0102/308040033/Ohio-school-chief-quits?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE
  20. exactly - because getting mugged is just like procuring a prostitute.

  22. "The state watchdog (Inspector General Randall Meyer), has found that Ohio’s leading education official was on the payroll of a Texas-based standardized testing firm when he lobbied state lawmakers last year on a bill that benefited the company. In a report released Thursday, Inspector General Randall Meyer urged the Ohio Board of Education to consider disciplinary action against Superintendent Stan Heffner." http://cincinnati.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/02/read-the-heffner-report/
  23. Cappell would fit right in with Greece's Golden Dawn.
  24. For all of COA T's rhetoric, they are just christianist Rebloodlican tea bag stooges.
  25. right - like his plan for the city to use eminent domain to buy all the vacant houses in Cincinnati & sell 'em for $1 apiece to new owners who will promise to fix 'em up.
