Visitors have fond train memories Birthday party pulls celebrants from miles away BY KEITH T. REED | [email protected] http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080330/NEWS01/803300390/1056/COL02 When Roland Johnson was a baby in 1932, his mother took him by subway from their Brooklyn, N.Y., home to a Manhattan studio to be sketched for a mural going up in a new Midwestern train depot.

Ahh, Detroit vs Hiroshima!!

^OMG, shoot me!!! I am guessing that was the last hurricane evac strategy!

That is wild!

LOL, Good move! Sorry bout that.

^Haha, you beat me to it. Great shots, but geeez! We are going to HAVE to bury those wires at some point along the way. yikes!!!!

I don't think it would compete with FM either. It could be another success story out of the basin!!

Northwest still wants Delta Executives at Northwest Airlines have reportedly asked to renew merger talks with Delta Air Lines, but any deal would still likely require approval by unionized pilots. The Wall Street Journal, citing an unidentified source, reported that Northwest proposed moving ahead with the long-discussed deal but also suggests offering pilots less generous terms than previously offered. Speculation of merger talk died out recently after the pilots' unions failed to agree on plan to integrate their seniority lists. But since every news report is based on unidentified sources, it is difficult to test the veracity of the information. The airlines have not commented. "Basically, unless Delta management has a change a heart, I don't think they're going to do anything without the support of their pilots," Calyon Securities analyst Ray Neidl told Reuters. "It shows that people don't want it to die and they'll keep trying things, but I don't think it puts us any closer." If the two do merge, as has been reported for several months, their operations would form the world's largest airline. Delta (NYSE:DAL) is the third largest now, and Northwest (NYSE:NWA) ranks fifth. Delta operates its second-largest hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

That is a GREAT idea!!! I Concur!!

"I think it's safe to assume that "big time urban character" is a desirable trait in an urban setting. Downtown Cincinnati isn't Rabbit Hash, KY; it's the home of skyscrapers, Fortune 500 companies, MLB and NFL teams, etc. If the goal of type of an area isn't to attain/improve its "big time urban character", I'm not sure what its development plan should be. As to the question of whether or not rail provides that, I can only point out that every major city in the developed world from Chicago to New York to London has rail transit. Cincinnati has certainly proved that cities of medium size and importance don't *need* rail transit, but if we ever hope to be more than what we are currently, rail is certainly at the top of the list of our glaring omissions." That's is Outstanding!!!! :whip:

Dunno! Google imaged it, and now I can't find it again.

Interesting read on the Freight Industry and how even it is starting to be effected by the current economic situation. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/djf500/200803281441DOWJONESDJONLINE000856_FORTUNE5.htm

I am speechless!

^^^That is the funniest thing that I have heard all week.

If Cbus completes their system prior to Cincy then it is another bullet that the pessimists can use...I don't want that to happen. I just see this as helping drill down the fact that rail IS the future in Ohio. What if C-bus announced next week (Hypothetically speaking) they were going to start construction next month on a line downtown? I wouldn't see a downside to that. Maybe Qualls and Cranley might take a hint and quit stalling.

There really is no substance to warrant this kind of thinking. Columbus is further behind in their efforts, and will likely get their own system at some point...but not before Cincinnati. Does it even matter who would get one first? I think they could both help each others cause by pushing for a rail revolution throughout the state. We know Strickland's on board.

^yup. Couldn't agree more.

^^Indeed!!!!

^2 FINE DINING RESTAURANTS! Taco Bell & White Castle....... :wink:

LOL!!

"They didn't pick Cleveland. And it's not only for our great transportation system." I just fell out of my chair laughing!! Is that suppose to be a joke?

I hate flying!

The only way this news could have a positive impact would be to shut down ALL the OTHER 108 or so agencies and social services in OTR, but I know better.

"THE SUBWAY. Wasn't there a proposal to have shops down there? man that would've been kickass." I would prefer the intended use!
