^ I always preferred everything you said to the cramped appearance of Cincinnati. I love the greenspace, the open roads, Public Square, and the Mall.

If the perpetrators of any crime are punished properly, there is no need for hate crime legislation. It doesn't really matter the reason someone is dragged behind a car, or tied to a post and beaten. Just punish the offenders justly.

^^^No, I enjoy your photos. I just don't want to tell someone not to worry, that they're just unlucky. Like you said, I've never felt uncomfortable on the Square either.

Maybe you just have bad luck. I never feel unsafe on Public Square, and my office is in Tower City so I'm on the square a lot. In fact, I love the energy of Public Square. It's probably the most big-city feeling I get anywhere in Cleveland. In fact, I'm about to post pictures from yesterday in the Public Square redevelopment thread. That's unfair. The man is posting a reasonable fear of bringing his family to something he perceives as being unsafe. He specifically mentions late in the day, and you respond as a single man, that he has must have bad luck because you feel safe taking pictures during the day?

The actual flying is the easy part. The hard, miserable part is the way you are treated in the airport by TSA agents, staff, etc. They just shuffle you around like cattle.

Maybe they need a Rocky Colavito statue to destroy the Jinx.

It sort of fits here, so here it is. The #5 song of all of 1969, by the 1910 Fruitgum Company. Chances are next to nil you will ever hear this on a radio again! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjTcMEFhhQQ

One thing nobody mentions, is that 100 years ago, cities were dirty and hot! There was little escape for a cool breeze. Plumbing was bad, coal burning left the air and the buildings black. For the most part, now they are nice comfortable places to live.

I'm so confused, I don't know if we are discussing the Pilgrims or the Turn of the 20th Century immigrants! All of my grandparents came here for economic reasons. Even though they were from what we might call the middle class, none of them were the oldest son, so they got nothing! It was either come here for potential, or stay there with little.

And how do you determine the true motive of their "elaborate dance" as you put it? Do you decide? First of all, as any parent knows, they are never embarrassed by their children for something over which the child has no control; such as intelligence. Secondly, suburbanites would not be eligible to send their children to Cincinnati magnet schools. Thirdly, who would wait in those ridiculous lines if they didn't have too? Did you go to one of these magnet schools?

How do you come up with this stuff?

Buyer beware.

Thanks for your explanation! I think you covered it all! I have no ties to Drees, I guess I was just confused by your comments that bad developers change their names often, and you consider Drees a bad developer, yet when I lived in Cincinnati, they were fairly well thought of compared to Ryan and Crest.

Please, some evidence to back up your claims. I respect the fact that your an architect, but not sure how that alone gives you the last word on developers. If people didn't want what the developers were providing, they wouldn't be buying them. I have no ties to Drees, but I have friends who bought Drees properties 40 years ago, and they are fine homes.

^Yes, the only freedom one wouldn't have would be to live "anywhere". That is really no different than it was before the car. Wherever there was no public transportation you needed some means of transportation, or you didn't live there.

Not really concentration camps using the accepted use of that term. Also the 70th anniversary of Iwo Jima.

Better call Saul!

Don't Knock the Rock! How about Cobbledicks?

Amazing how many people still think this is the best country to settle down. Hope you can get your friends out.

As they say, its not the heat its the humidity.

Manziel may not be the answer for the Browns, but it is unfair to compare his issues with Gordon's. He may be a lot of things, like young, immature, and a partier; but there have been a lot of successful partiers in the league that didn't necessarily have illegal substance problems. Not worth discussing without evidence that his poor habits are substance related.

Good season Cincy fans. Tough game with all those players out. I wish the Browns could make the playoffs 4 years in a row.
