I have the Android app, and it hasn't cut me off - I know I've gone over the limit.

^Maybe, but the repeated habit of making useless photo galleries as top news is really asinine.

An inaccuracy in the Enquirer about the Streetcar? You don't say!

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120928/NEWS0106/310310003 Heaven forbid that the democratic process actually gets a workout, you know?

If you sent in a letter bitching about those damned kids on your lawn, they'd publish it on the website.

I wonder who picks which Letters To The Editors to run, because this one still has me shaking my head: Embarrassed by Sunday’s Reds line-up

And like clockwork, Smitherman was on WLW. I didn't bother to listen.

Speed walker Barry checks in again on you know what. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120924/NEWS0108/309240014/Streetcar-meeting-today-could-heated

From said article: Yeah... Those breathless front page updates about Jeff Ruby, Nick Lachey and other "celebrtities" no one cares about, along with the numerous pictures of people at parties, concerts, and past chicken dances really makes that $10 a month well worth it. Really!

From UrbanCincy: New Enquirer format delayed until 2013, corresponding paywalls unphased As for the paywall... there will be an easy way to get around it once it goes up.

Here's the real question - which rides the streetcar first: Horstman or that thing on his head? For extra credit: Can him or the thing on his head walk the streetcar route faster?

Clear Channel pays people to do this, too. WLW exists these days for one sole reason: Ratings & Revenue. That is all. Every thing else be damned.

If the current governor is still in charge when the money is allocated, you know it won't be going to the streetcar.

You and I have a different opinion of "buried". John Schneider wrote above that "it was in the print edition, top of the OP-ED page", and it is still in the Opinion headlines on the front page of the website. To me, that's not buried. So what if it's not front and center? The Enquirer's too busy pandering to the "easy-to-get-page-views" crowd, by showing us the wonderful hats of the tennis tournament.

The editorial does not (at this time) appear as a headline story on cincinnati.com. It will be interesting to see if the Enquirer promotes or buries this editorial. It's the first story in the Opinion section on the website.

FWIW: The Enquirer claims that they are not adding a paywall, but calling it "metered content" - much like the New York Times. When you read x amount of articles per month, then you have to pay for access. If that's not a paywall after you hit the x amount, I don't know what is. Said access will apparently not apply to severe thunderstorm/emergency information - but the last place I go for weather info is the Enquirer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would be public access territory. So, TW Cable and the respective city/village/township.

Good to see he's been sticking to WLW's talking points. Sheesh.

I think my brain just exploded.

Off topic: http://www.local12.com/content/breaking_news/story/Man-Killed-in-Beechmont-Avenue-Multiple-Vehicle/epDWCPu370q9fvZpzu0G4Q.cspx#.T8V6kB1qn00.twitter The name & age of the deceased startled me. Is it "our" John?

Hahaha, thanks for the heads up. Quimbob, cincySAL and I were quoted. :D They botched the "nati" part of my name, though, and reduced it to "nat". :( Don't trash the nat! Here's the link: http://www.fox19.com/story/17961244/city-tries-to-buy-building-in-otr-for-streetcar-mainten And of course, the lone comment on the story so far is from some old friends.

That hasn't stopped someone, judging by the latest results.

You could say the same about the music industry. They still have their heads up their butts in regards to the internet and don't want to change.

<sarcasm>I was not aware that Duke Energy founded Cincinnati. It all makes sense!</sarcasm>

Cunningham is still slamming the streetcar, saying that "I don't think anybody is going to be riding the streetcar", and he talked to a (possibly fake) caller who claimed "everyone who wants drugs will use the streetcar instead of their cars so they don't get caught". It never ends.
