I'm just saying they can't have their cake and eat it too. Who is going to be hurting truly if this is built?

Wow and these are the same people that drive 20-30 miles to work making traffic worse for everyone else.

Oh yeah...scrap that idea..The ohio is not deep enough. Unless you put in some kinda warning system when the level gets so low.Maybe you could carb out the bottom ,then put the sections in place. ;) Still cheaper than drilling under it I would think. Oh btw they got 14 billion dollars for that Tunnel. They can't spare a billion to replace the bridge which soon will have the same kinda Volume the big dig carries.

I was just watching the Discovery channel about tunnels. It's possible to put a tunnel on the bed of the Ohio river instead of digging under it. I think they should look at that option very hard. It may even be faster to build since the sections are lowered down into place and then connected.

If a barrel ever cost $262 a gallon.....all jobs would be lost.

Do they have enough sewer connections to support that development? I've always heard there is not enough sewer lines to the west side. That's why it is not fully developed yet.

Sigh this could be 3 40 story condo towers downtown. Developers makes me sick in the midwest sometimes.

WOW what a joke. I would go through OTR in the middle of the night, before i walk down a street in Baghdad. He's lost all sense of reality. There they kill you because you're american. In Cincinnati a person is killed because of drugs and they usually know that person..

Who is the state to say you can't charge higher broker fees. That's BS. If i was in business which i am and they say i can't have a profit margin of more than so much percent i would be PISSED. If the consumer was smart they would goto another broker that charges less of a fee. It's called competition.

Hey i was just thinking. Lets just say if there was no down town.s eg there was no downtown Cleveland would you still be living in Cleveland if you still had all the sports, cultures, the lack ect? Basicly if you took away the skyscrapers would you still love Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, etc?

^ Oh i just checked that out. I might have to goto Louisville soon, they seem have a 1700+ footer. I hadn't noticed it before though.

Well the companies that are in trouble would do it anyway if they go bankrupt which Ford is trying to avoid.. Trust me i would accepted 60k from an 80k job instead of losing it all, but hey they chose to Cancel production instead of slowing it down. So they will not be bring them products back ever.I have no idea why these companies wait until the last minute to do somethign drastic. they could have phased out one plant at a time and hope sales improve, but not they will close 14 at one time. They know they lost thier market share to Toyota ,because they make chity products. And the american people will not stand for it.

why didn't they just negotiate with the unions to lower their wages, before just closing all the plants?

^ After.

so they are not even keeping this money in the states. That's sad. If i was a Indiana I would be furious that my tax money was made to build something then sold to an foreign entity. If it's in Ohio i wouldn't support it. Look at all the revenue they would be giving up in the long run. NO WAY.

I have tried to quick reply a few times and it gives me an errors saying i had already posted it, but i didn't. If i do a normal reply it work. Maybe it just a problem just for today.

I wouldn't mind them upgrading the entire highway to interstate standards.

Bring back Jim. lol

Hmmm maybe it was January then. This has been an odd winter.

I think the coldest it's been all winter, at least in Cincinnati has been 24'. I'm not complaining. I just hope we don't have 20 days of 100 or more this summer.

My friend works at that Batavia plant. I think he knew it was coming. He was wanting to invest in my business just this past week. I guess the pink slips will happen over time. It could be today or anytime until 2008 when he knows when he'll be gone.

56 Colleges Have Endowments Topping $1B By JUSTIN POPE, AP Education Writer Mon Jan 23, 12:34 AM ET The number of North American colleges with endowments topping $1 billion has jumped to 56, a new study says, with nine schools joining the elite club in what was an average year for university investments overall. ADVERTISEMENT Harvard remained the richest, with $25.5 billion, followed by Yale with $15.2 billion... www.ap.com

Could be worse, be grateful. ;)

^ I don't know about that. They have this 16 lane highway called the downtown connector that solid during rush hour and their northern loop puts I-275 to shame.

Heck i thought it might have been somthing to do with 3d icons looking through them blue and red glases..lol
