  1. ^ Agreed. It's called Karma.
  2. Come on guys. Then Christ Hospital would be the the tallest because of elevation. QCS sits at a lower elevation than the Carew.
  3. Could they amend the bill they passed a few weeks ago for the federal funding?
  4. They want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to take companies away from the region and put them into the ponzi scheme of Atlanta.
  5. Besides Detroit and Newerk All those cities were the fastest growing this past decade.
  6. I'm not saying just the city or the county or whatever is slow to the game, but just the region as a whole. Even looking at other things, such as retail, our region is slow to the game. We just opened our first Nordstrom (Cleveland, Columbus, Indy all had them well before), Ikea just opened a few years ago (Pittsburgh had one for years), and we still don't have a legitimate lifestyle center. Not saying all these things are someone's fault, or that there weren't reasons for why Cincinnati missed the boat on some things (like the subway) but as a region, Cincinnati is usually slow to trends or to embrace new developments IMO. And on the point of Carew being our tallest for so long, I am definitely not saying that Carew is a bad building, or unfit to be our tallest. I'm just saying that major developments (such as the tallest building in the city) occur on a less frequent basis here than elsewhere. The Terminal Tower in Cleveland, Wrigley building in Chicago, LA City Hall, all are beautiful buildings, worthy of being the tallest in the city. However, these other cities accepted new, taller buildings and grew taller. Even as QCS is being built, there is a sentiment that Carew should retain its title as tallest. There's a definite resistence to change in Cincinnati, and it's one of the things that has kept local culture so strong, but also one of the things that drives me crazy about the city. Why are you contradicting yourself? Saying Cleveland,Indy and Columbus have had a Nordstrom? We have it now and a IKEA. Those sames town are saying why we have the IKEA and they don't? Im sure those town would like our F500 companies but they don't have them.
  7. Most places allow you to share stories with one another. Which format is best to use for Urban Ohio using the share button? Eg. Digg,Buzz,Fark just to name a few.
  8. 11 months in a row more than 100,000 are unemployed(collecting unemployment checks). First time since 2003 that the region went under 1 million jobs. Total documented unemployed is 120,200.
  9. They really need to start stripping repeat criminals of thier citizenship and ship them to some ungoverned territories like Yemen, Somalia, Congo or some remote island in the pacific. Im dead serious too. They don't want to live by our laws. Kick em the hell out.

    More Hydroelectric plants will spring up along all major rivers near metro areas. Not only would it prevent flooding in major cities but also provide an alternate energy source besides coal.
  11. THey can damage your home if you find them. Ice can backup under the roofline.
  12. Im sure they won't keep their lease. They will just simply close the store just like all the others have done and just open another store. The mall has not kept their end of the bargain by bringing in customers and more stores.
  13. Got to have them. They are the only places that are producing jobs.
  14. I rememeber when this project was suppose to cost 700m. Im guessing it will be 4 billion by the time it's done.
  15. Im sure the Bass Pro will move to near Union center.
  16. Does this mean a QCIII or there are none in the immediate plans?

    Does Cleveland's urban area enter Summit county?

    It's kinda odd that Orlando and Daytona beach is a CSA but not Cleveland and Canton. I think the gov just wants more money to goto Florida than Ohio.

    Sprawl!!!!!!!
  20. That place was robbed about 4-5 months ago as well. Biusinesses may start putting hdtv cameras inside and broadcast it outside the store. I know i would along with advertisements.

    Call the Ohio Dept of agriculture. They may have someone locally that can test it. Weather or not it's free i have no idea.
  22. The US needs new industries peroid.
  23. Kick someone when they are down? If they are guilty they are guilty. If they are serving to minors.Throw the book at them.
