It sounds like they're just going to pretend that the Oakley stadium plan is a done deal. Like MLS won't see thru that. It's not logical that CIN is just going to submit a bid and say we'd like to put it in Oakley, but we'll see where it ends up. At a minimum, a done deal site must be in place for the bid.

Can we arrange for Mayor Jackson to go on holiday when they do decide to visit? :P No kidding. I hope there is a competent, knowledgeable and friendly team assembled to welcome the Amazon people when they arrive. This would preclude most people from the mayor's staff. Hoping that any Amazon visitors also don't find out about or meet with Lance Mason; the former judge who beat the s**t of his wife in front of his kids in a moving vehicle, tossed her out, and was apprehended covered in her blood.

No surprise given who the writer of this article is.

Yeah that was my first thought. In Cleveland, perhaps they would prefer the sick people not have to go outdoors. I do find it kind of dumb that they hide the stairs and expect people to take (disease farm) elevators down one or two levels, though. ...and getting the medical staff around a bit quicker without having to exit a building etc.

Well the band *did* melt down before they ever made it to Cleveland, which IIRC was one of the first couple of places they were to play in the US. I fully intended to find a way to go too. It would have been my first concert. Much happier that, as one example, Bowie broke first in Cleveland in the '70s. Bowie's 1972 Ziggy Stardust Tour opened in Cleveland. The '70s rock scene in Cleveland is legendary and Jimmy "The Greek" Swingos hotel at 18th/Euclid was ground zero for the bands and all the excess of 1970s rock-n-roll. Swingos was the rock n roll party hotel for decades.

It wasn't that bad. What a surprise a member of the Sex Pistols stumbled with Akron, then went with Cleveland as to the location of the Rock Hall; Sex Pistols don't like the Rock Hall, they didn't show up for induction. Of course none of them would be sure where the Rock Hall is. You must not be familiar with the Sex Pistols otherwise, what's the point of this post? At least he got the geography right and knows Akron and Cleveland are adjacent to each other. Could have been a fake as well; he would for sure act like he didn't know where it was.

I would cut the Clinic some slack on these ped bridges though.

When is the announcement expected for Cincinnati's MLS team?

I was just in Union Station this past weekend; hardly a bastion of cheap retail and food stands. There is no comparison between Union Station and Tower City.

The Transit Center idea for the Warehouse District or now the Weston Lots, with plans for residential development.

Reed's resume is pathetically ''thin'' for being in office since 2001.

Which U.S. transit systems and how are fare checks/proof-of-payments handled?

Agree with a) but not so much with b) and c). The Cleveland judge's ruling/opinion should be overturned.
