"Non-traditional" AKA not 1950-'90s building binge. Calling post-WWII sprawl "Traditional" and urbanism/limited road expansion "Experimental" is some kind of Jedi Mind Trick sprawl proponents try to pull. More of that "the world didn't begin until after WWII" crap.

If you're going through a lot of brake pads get the lifetime guarantee pads from NAPA. It's like going to a buffet and staying there for 8 hours.

Jake, they let you do this with that older Civic of yours? I though you had to have at least a midsize 4-door that's less than 5 years old.

Cincinnati: Mayor John Cranley
Ha, we have four units sharing 300 gallons and we can't fill it up. That's six people, two of which own a food truck!

It fits in with the light industrial feel of that part of town.

Cincinnati: Restaurant News & Info
Anybody remember what getting pizza used to be like before like 1997? Yeah, you had a few nice pizza restaurants in every town, but you also had... the place with like 3 tables that clearly focused on delivery. You'd go in there, order a pizza, sit at an orange Formica table that wobbled badly in one of those plastic chairs with the three slots in it that looked like it was stolen from the middle school band room. There would be random fridges and restaurant equipment in the dining room or if you got lucky, bales of pizza boxes. There wouldn't be any music on, and maybe there'd be one arcade game that was unplugged because the monitor was toast. And it had the wood paneling sides on it rather than the original art (a "re-cab" for those who know). A lot of times these were in small towns and they'd be renting an ill-fitting space because looking back the rent had to be near zero. Lighting was either way too bright or spotty as hell. I remember ones like this in an old 1960s bank branch in Ashville and a house in Circleville. I bet there's quite a few still like that in Appalachia.

The NFL under Goodell is like a 1950's dad. Hammered on liquor all the time, beating his wife... but puff a J or show up wearing the wrong socks and you're out of the house.

Cranley loves treating problems, not curing them. Like a crooked doctor.

Cincinnati Streetcar / The Connector News
$1 park signs all over the place DT... $1 fare sounds good next to it. But I'm not experienced with fare pricing modeling.

CBC probably got the scoop because they don't bash the project all the time over petty things.

Another reason I like Appalachia -- no money for demo just because your structure sat empty for two years.

Marcellus / Utica Natural Gas & Fracking
Ormet Aluminum had 5,000 employees. This cracker plant will employ maybe 150. I didn't know that many people worked at Ormet.

People were leaving the game party I was at during halftime; it was that bad. I left too.

Liberty Township: Liberty Center
Glendale/Woodlawn has the Friendly Stop/Century Inn/Pike Bar march. Of course that area is unexplored territory to most Cincinnatians.
