Business leaders launch Brent Spence campaign Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky business leaders have formally launched a public-education and lobbying campaign aimed at shaving five to 10 years off the current construction timeline for a Brent Spence Bridge replacement. http://www.buildournewbridgenow.com/ "“I do cross that bridge multiple times a day,” {Julie Janson} said. “It isn’t just the commute. The very fragility of that span, one little thing goes wrong and I’m sitting there for an hour, two hours. What is your time worth?”" Dunno if she is planning some kind of self healing bridge or what. heck I-75 comes to a screeching halt from Dayton, OH to Walton, KY if there's a single accident anywhere..... http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2012/05/07/business-leaders-launch-brent-spence.html?ana=e_du_pub&s=article_du&ed=2012-05-07

Cincinnati Taxicab Advisory Committee Report http://assets.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/Taxicab%20Advisory%20Commission%20Recommendations%20PDF.pdf It calls for stands in several areas but they don't follow the Entertainment Areas.

Is there any design type plan for the car barn? Is Cincinnati looking to imitate some other city's barn? It'd be nice if they could use a core & use the streetsides for retail, etc.

It kinda appears to just be "The Spot" now. In the 80s & 90s it was called "The Two JBs Presents the Spot". There might have even been an apostrophe in JBs. Anyway, I believe the management was music related. hmmm It's across the street & a couple doors down from the Imperial Theater.

2 Qs 1. can I get the "unclean" version? 2. Is The JBs related to The 2 JBs Presents the Spot down on McMicken?

Quimby as in Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby of Springfield, means. "of the womb". Quimbob means..... redneck cunt? beats me check out Harriet Quimby - a badass fer sure.

Fortunately the state is cutting the price on bacon flavored vodka

I see Speedway as a gas station first whereas convenience stores that sell gas I see as, well, that. Maybe it's just a distinction I perceive. The Speedway ads for pizza just seem bizarre.

I found it looking for city history crap. It's been mentioned that a lot of students find it, similarly. As there is a lot of discussion comparing Ohio cities to other cities in the US & beyond, it seems like Ohio news people should be looking at the site. -especially given their budget cuts & their laying off senior reporters.....

While auto miles driven are down, gas sales down or flat, Enon based Speedway has seen a 13% increase in in store sales over last year's first quarter. http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/springfield-news/indoor-store-sales-soar-for-speedway--1368974.html

no, not a favorite just a recording by an Ohio band, Lodestar from Springfield, OH from the mid 70s. http://www.box.com/shared/ap1yf1u1i7 I believe Lodestar was the name of an IH truck. Maybe it was Loadstar. The band was produced by Jimmy Crain, a Spfld cop who had a brief rockabilly career when he was younger. It was recorded by a Cincinnati company, Carl Burkardt's Rite, but released under some other name. The song would be better if it was about 1 minute long.....

cool pics yeah, looked at some pictures from a festival on Cincinnati Fountain Square from around this time. NO fat people. It's pretty scary. I noticed on the bus awhile ago, everybody over 25 was overweight (including me).

^looks like they were just snagged. Who knows? Maybe Finney supplied them.

Is it really a scandal if only a handful of nuts say it is? "Conflict of interest? SORTA Board member Jim Tarbell buys two properties right next to Streetcar stop. Hmmmm." It's also next to the SCPA hmmmmm http://coast-usa.blogspot.com/2012/04/conflict-of-interest-sorta-board-memebr.html

Cincinnati Chooses Green Energy Aggregation Decision makes Cincinnati first major U.S. city to offer 100 percent green electricity http://www.citybeat.com/cincinnati/blog-3366-cincinnati_chooses_green_energy_aggregation.html

Native Cincinnatians seem to think different neighborhoods are for specific people/behavior. If you come from out of town, you don't have that prejudice.
