  1. Competitive?? I found their prices to be very very high. $549 round trip to Chicago??? Really?
  2. I thought it was because of the ramp closure to I-75 southbound. They even have HAR(highway advisory radio) active.
  3. http://www.wcpo.com/news/insider/divided-highway-odot-study-finds-minority-businesses-have-gotten-less-than-fair-share-of-contracts
  4. So the Streetcar itself is not expected to make $$ but is deemed to be a catalyst for spin-off development and increased property values on, and adjacent to, its route. No system makes money except in NYC, some lines in Boston Chicago and maybe LA. Do you really think Metro makes profit?

    Come on Price is a disaster. Having Hoover as a closer?????? Batting Hamilton 9th???? Hurting starters by pitching them in relief 2 days after a start?????

    This is turning into a joke of a franchise. Stevenson's reward for winning 2 games in 2 great outings was to be demoted to AAA. Price needs to be fired ASAP.
  7. Johnny Manziel second agent has dropped him. His life is falling apart.
  8. Are the breaks usually that loud? Or they were purposely testing quick stops instead of gradually stopping at stations?
  9. Do you mean for you?

    Reds win!! Although it was against Philly.
  11. WCPO has some sort of inside article about "Is greater Cincinnati the fastest growing metro in the midwest". I could not read the whole thing because of the firewall.
  12. Hmm Cincinnati sucks? Do they mean the people? If you placed Cincinnati folks in Austin and Austin folks in Cincinnati. Would they have reverse growth rates??? If it is the people then there is a WHOLE lot of education to do in this area.
  13. I don't think the city population numbers came out. The Metro has never lost population.
  14. I bet they don't realize the tons of lost advertisement on the streetcar they lost for the events.
  15. I don't see anymore point to have a rail line to this airport anymore. It's not like it's going to bring more international destinations.
  16. It would not be Ky's call if Ohio decided what's best for it's cities. Ky has been messing around with this air port for a decade now and has done nothing but watch businesses leave.(Toyota). They are treating the bridge the same way. The politicians in this area better wake up.
  17. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/metros-safety-check-spots-severe-cable-damage-in-3-areas/2016/03/16/9130a878-eba4-11e5-bc08-3e03a5b41910_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_metroshutdown-645pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory Can you imagine if NYC has the same issues?
  18. What's the elevation there at that point compared to the CBD?
  19. I can understand that. If it is still safe enough to move that many people. Why not wait until the weekend??
  20. If saftey was a issue why wait until tomorrow?
  21. I think you have it wrong It's the 5th street merging that causes the backup northbound. 4th street has it's own dedicated lane across the bridge. I suggest extending 5th street to that 4th street merge to North I-75 and put a ramp meter there to manage the traffic flow.
  22. Wth? Someone ran in-front of the streetcar and almost got hit in that video.
  23. How many studies does this bridge need???? I wish I was in the business of making studies.

    Anyone know why gas has gone up .50 cents the past week? $2.29 now
  25. Since it's ky's bridge who pays for that even though the work is on the Ohio side?
