  1. Then he'll have a very nice inheritance for his children, which you will want to tax!
  2. They have to overcome a long standing tradition of open hours due to an agreement with other markets (none of which exist any longer)! I too wonder why this just can't be dealt with easily.
  3. And would there be something wrong with putting money into those neighborhoods, after what the city has done to them over the past 30 years? They used to be beautiful.

    Miami Marlins. They fired their manager and replaced him with their GM, who's only managerial experience was coaching a high school team - in the mid-1980's(!) http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2015/05/18/dan-jennings-miami-marlins-manager/27520219/ Been done before! http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/22066/the-night-ted-turner-managed-the-braves The night Ted Turner managed the Braves Ted Turner was the "Mouth of the South," "Terrible Ted" and "Captain Outrageous," a brash, outspoken business mogul who had a golden touch. He launched the first successful cable news network with CNN, sailed to victory in the America's Cup and used his cable empire to turn his Atlanta Braves into "America's Team." But 36 years ago this month, Turner discovered there was one thing he couldn't do: manage his own baseball team. After the 38-year-old Turner put on a Braves uniform and stepped into the dugout to manage his tanking team for one game on May 11, 1977, National League president Chub Feeney, supported by baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, gave him the thumb. Anyone who owned stock in a team was forbidden to manage it, they told him. "They must have put that rule in yesterday," Turner told a reporter the next day. "If I'm smart enough to save $11 million to buy the team, I ought to be smart enough to manage it."

    Okay, you're right that there is no more home court advantage, and what you said is correct, but the Cavs have the overall advantage. It does matter much to have the overall advantage as evidenced by the 31-6 record. Maybe the poster mean advantage.

    I haven't had this much fun since '95!

    You said it yourself, no more home court advantage and down 2-1 is big. Warriors have to go 3 and 1, Cavs have to go 2 and 2.

    I'm not so sure it would really matter all that much. Games 4-7 are always 2 home, 2 away. It might, the home team would be down 2-1 and not have the home court advantage any longer.
  9. I wonder what the police plans might be for possible problems following an NBA Championship celebration? They seem to really be out of control in other cities.
  10. The 911 call said he was possibly a juvenile, but Rice was 5'7" and 195#. Certainly adult size. He didn't look like some little kid.

    http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2015/02/02/here-s-how-reds-fans-can-get-all-star-game-tickets.html More than half of Great American Ball Park's 42,271 seats will go to fans through season tickets or these individual sales through the random selection, Bourne said. The rest go to MLB, the 30 teams and sponsors. Those include ticket strips that MasterCard, an MLB sponsor, is making available to its cardholders through a special pre-sale opportunity on May 4. Each All-Star Game ticket actually comes as part of a strip of tickets. Fans buying tickets need to buy the whole strip, which includes a ticket to the All-Star Game on July 14, the Home Run Derby on July 13, the All-Star Futures Game and Celebrity Softball Game on July 12, and T-Mobile All-Star FanFest at the Duke Energy Convention Center July 10-14. The ticket strip also includes an All-Star Game program.
  12. How important is Cincinnati State to the city? Important enough to build that stupid bridge to keep them in the city? I have no idea of number of enrollment or employees, or the financial impact. Anyone know? They could always move out to one of the townships like many hospitals have done.
  13. Whoever recommended that? I'm sorry I didn't make it clearer for you. That would never make sense. I just wish we had the first leg set up to bring people from the west and east into a central location downtown. Certainly not Findlay Market.
  14. That would have been a nice way to start up Cincinnati's. Use it to actually bring people into the downtown area.
  15. So its only your opinion that waiting 15 years for the Banks to be completed is better for the city?
