Cincinnati: 2017 Mayoral Election
If all four run, the results in the primary would be totally unpredictable. Obviously, Charlie Winburn is a fake Republican and a total disaster of a human being. His autobiography is fake, he has no loyalties, he performs exorcisms at his church, and he wrote some sort of crazy book around 2003 which nobody has a copy of but will resurface when others gear up to smear him. I used to work with a guy who went to Winburn's church service once when his family moved here, and he said it was totally nuts. Like snake-handling nuts. These words should never be used together like this in a sentence. Sorry!

And even this gets thrown out the door at say, an amusement park, where lines suddenly become queues.

Cincinnati Streetcar / The Connector News
This is precisely the thing that opponents (who still didn't get the memo that the thing is built and running) point to. They want to measure success by ridership on the first Monday in January.

Butler County: Development and News
^Re: OH129. Yep. I know we hate freeways but... Coincidentally, I was bored the other morning and was looking at how you could connect 71 and 75 with what is probably a legitimately needed lateral. I envisioned some way to upgrade and realign OH63 so that you'd have a connection to OH4 between Hamilton and Middletown. The freeway would cross 75 near SRC, go south of Shaker Run GC, shott north to Lebanon-WarrenCo Apt, and snake it's way to where OH 48 meets Miller Road. OH48 is basically limited access as it curves south to 71.

Rabbit Hash replied to buildingcincinnati's post in a topic in Southwest Ohio Projects & ConstructionYeah, this would have been a game-changer for the skyline: http://www.mullerarchitects.com/project-4/wpjbrqqpcfxgctsctju2sw8nev7xnu

University of Cincinnati Bearcats Football Discussion
Same here. I thought it was in the bag but as I have grown to understand the dynamics, I don't think it happens. UC would be better off in the ACC in the long-run. B12 will eventually dissolve and only sporadically be represented in the CFP in the meantime. If they do get in, it's a consolation prize anyway.

It's hard to top what Ike did to southern Ohio in 2008.

Cincinnati: Downtown: Federated Department Stores Garage Redevelopment
Yeah. IMO, Cincy's second worst garage is being demolished. This Federated thing is just so ugly and nasty. It's been a 50 (?) year long continuous insult to the architectural treasures it smothers. Who was the idiot...? EDIT: And can we once and for all get that useless black ladder thing off Cincy Bell? The building would actually be somewhat tolerable without that structure on it. Sidenote: I seem to remember it had some more uhm, substance to it back in the day. Like they have removed something in the past.

Cincinnati: Downtown: Fourth & Race (Pogue Garage) Redevelopment
Seeing this thing gone will be surreal. Like that weird feeling you got when you were a kid and your tooth finally fell out.

Cincinnati: Downtown: Encore
Gotcha. I'd be curious if you get hassled going forward.

Cincinnati: Downtown: Encore
Greta shots. By my count this has 6 levels (the floor of the 7th is showing) plus the parapet left to go as far as height. If that's correct, this should be pretty prominent. taestell[/member] Do you have some sort of clearance to fly a drone downtown? I thought it was verbotten.

Cincinnati Reds Discussion
We did an informal U/O at the office based on Bovada's 70.5 win total back in April. Closest wins. I guessed 75. Guy who won guessed 72. Lowest guess was 57. Actual win total? 68.

Yeah when I was a kid I could tell Dukes of Hazard wasn't in Kentucky. It was like near Bob Hope Airport. You can tell that Wipeout is filmed where they did the rural chase shots on the Dukes Wait. Did I miss something? Pretty sure Dukes was set in the made-up Hazzard (notice the spelling) County, Georgia. But, yeah...the brown southern California hills didn't look like anything in Georgia...or KY for that matter.

Anybody getting a pop-over that is saying something about your computer being locked and to call Microsoft? I got it last Thursday and then again this afternoon. Otherwise I am accessing things OK.

Cincinnati: Downtown: 1010 On The Rhine / Downtown Kroger
The obvious thing that maybe hasn't been mentioned here is the simple fact that one of the more annoying open surface lots will be filled. That is reason to rejoice alone, no?

Cincinnati: General Business & Economic News
Haven't been in that one but I've extensively toured the Cimcool. Not sure Cimcool is worth saving due to the contamination that is probably present, but there is a lot of space under roof.

Cincinnati Streetcar / The Connector News
This is a local circulator, that's all. The average trip is a little over a mile. It will get faster as the city improves the signals, but it's never gonna be BART. If you want speed, we need a tunnel to UC Understood. I'm certainly not in the neighborhood of being an expert. Just trying to draw some input from personal experience and let you guys shoot it down. Who knows what will come out of the exchange?

John Schneider[/member] Last time I was in the bay area, I stayed at my friend's house in Orinda. We took BART to O.co, SFO, and everything in between. I thought BART ran great and was friendly to use. I know it's a different animal but maybe there are some things that are instructive. Some thoughts of mine: BART, NYC (and others) have expresses. Is having an Express Train an option? Say one of them only stops at TBX, 12/Vine (or any designated mid-point) and Findlay. BART has a Developer Program (https://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers). Available are a host of things: Complete BART trip plans from BART's official trip planning engine, Car crowding levels, special schedule notices, advisories and fare calculations Real time estimates by platform, including direction and car length Abbreviated service advisories (< 160 characters, like we use in our SMS services) Station information, and so much more... Is this an option for SORTA to allow fans/geeks to make this happen faster? (EDIT: I now seem to recall BART does not have express. Confirm?)

High ridership and required de-boarding is in effect this afternoon. The cars have been pretty much packed since before 10a. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
