I've been getting cards in the mail from Cincinnati City Council candidates. Yet, I live in Columbus now. They are addressed to my Columbus address, not forwarded from my old Cincinnati one. I've gotten them from Qualls, Greg Harris and Tony Fischer (2). Why wouldn't their computers reject non-Cincinnati ZIPs, or at least non metro ones? Strange.

Speaking of turning drivers...people who take 10 years to make a simple 90 degree turn. Ahaha, like people who come to a complete stop to turn even they don't need to. You see that a lot in Portsmouth.

Is this that town that supposedly has an airraid siren powered by an old German Messerschmidt engine? I refuse to go to that crazy siren forum posted here a few years back.

Wow, those are nice. It would have been way easier to make G1 ('80s) robots. I'm going to put G1 Starscream in my yard now.

^ '80s party?

Argh, I miss Cincy. I'd probably still be there if I didn't (pretty much) have to start my business in Columbus.

AHAHAHA, of course there's one by Wal-Mart.

5 days on fiction, 14 days on nonfiction. You must be irresponsible because you didn't keep you receipt.

Many more germs are transmitted through the hands than the air. It's best to sneeze or cough toward the floor with nothing in front of your mouth.

Er, well if you don't know where Touchdown Jesus is either, this is off I-75 at the Monroe exit.

It's like 1987 all over again watching retail get demolished at this site.

Is this facility covered in frosting?

I was going to chastise you for having your high beams on in the city, but McMillan's a one way through there. LOL

That Baltimore library shot makes me think of the old library in Cincy except that it is self-serve.

I don't like this project. They should be spending the money on speed bumps. $109 Million? We should have been able to vote against it.

There really are a lot of small, inexpensive things such as these parking changes that can help Downtown flourish once implimented.

^ They'll be able to take home a pocket-size piece for a few bucks.

^ Much like in Berlin!

Those in the medical field, for example.

^ Yes, they will. If they've got equivalent job offers in cities with rail transit and without, assuming no ties to either area, they'll go for the city with rail much more often than not.

Heh, you're right. It's been proven again and again that SE Ohio gets told that highway expansion will somehow create permanent jobs for the region but nothing ever happens. A more extreme example is West Virginia, where billions have been spent on rural highway upgrades with no discernible economic development to go with them. Obviously, this bridge project will not have an extremely high cost/benefit ratio, but it has much more potential than upgrading OH 141 between Ironton and Galliapolis.

When YPs spend money, the money is more likely to stay in the community. They tend to spend money at independent businesses like bars, restaurants, used record stores, guitar shops etc. as opposed to the general population whose money is more likely to go to Wal*Mart, Applebee's and such, where it gets sent to other states and countries.

When stores play repetitive stuff over and over, does it ever even cross their minds that it increases the misery factor of working there by at least 10X, or do they just not care? Advertising loops are one of the most vile things a business can do to their customers as well. Is it really worth it, retail America?

^Yep, a buddy of mine just ate there a month ago.

That's the last surface lot left on West Campus, I believe.
