Commerce!

I have to admit that I had more fun in malls when I was a teenager.

Pretty much anybody who knows the Cincinnati retail industry looks at KTC as the cream of the crop in the current environment.

Man, that was in-depth. Love to see that kind of passion from the student section. Here's the link fixed: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/21617167/night-court-on-wild-day-of-hoops-one-gif-steals-the-show

Jesus, really? I never figured that people in Milwaukee were so "educated" about Cincinnati. WLW must be the gold standard of right-wing city hater radio.

I don't think that's the reason. From 1950 on OSU would have beat UC 9 times out of 10.

In what sports?

See ya later, grandkids' college fund.

In some places McMansion areas were so oversupplied (also, other less expensive types of sprawl) that they became very undesrieable.

Where are the new houses reaching bubble prices, actual desirable areas or more cornfield McMansions?

How would you feel if someone called you uber generic, StarpHanger?

I still don't believe the S&P gives you an accurate reflection of the economic health of Main Street. That is why I hardly ever post about the stock market. It is becoming more and more disconnected to what is actually happening to Main Street. Its also probably another big bubble. That's certainly true as well. I simply prefer the 500 as a measure of the market, not the economy as a whole.

I was agreeing with ragerunner's assessment about the Dow. The S&P is a much better instrument if you ask me.

The stock market is not a very good gauge to use to determine the health of our economy. Its more a gauge about profit margins that frequently come at the expense of main street (job cuts). The DOW is about to break its all time record. Does anyone really believe the actual US or world economy is doing better than any other time in history? Or even better than back in 2006 during the peak of the 'boom'? Listen up, for those who don't already know: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a terrible measure of the economy overall. It consists of only the 30 largest (give or take a few) publicly traded companies and it's price weighted. Yuck -- an awful modern financial barometer if I ever saw one. The pros only watch it becuase everybody else does.

Not just the mosque, there's a sizable Muslim population in the Toledo area.

That went up in the late '80s, right?

E-mail the author so that it can be fixed.

Car salesmen can starve nearly to death at work. Selling a car can take hours and hours where eventually the salesman's stomach can begin to digest itself. Having the Subway around will probably help.

Scraping off your car windows in single digit temps is much more pleasant. Not.

Been awhile since I've gotten some good early-'90s-style Bartitude!

The bike trails probably use different equipment (like John Deere Gators or Kawasaki Mules and snowblowers) that's not tied up doing city streets.

I've already seen one bus line move away from the stop in front of my business in less than 3 years. On the sign you can see where there used to be a third that is now covered up with tape.

Par for the course for BOAST
