Rabbit Hash

I care about the tax money it brings in and the entertainment options it adds to the core of our city.

Is it possible to give Pittsburgh's D some credit for yesterday. That was a slugfest and we sent a worthy brute home to cry.

Stunning! Thanks, Travis!

Agreed on all accounts. "Taken..." is a good initiation doc. I usually suggest "Geography of Nowhere" to move up the esoteric scale. Any others? Love your website, BTW.

Find the documentary, "Taken for a Ride". It's eye opening.

The day has come!

Back in the day...having Sycamore Gardens there really wasn't a detriment to either the life on Main or the club itself was it? I lost interest in the Red Cheetah days.

This, this, and this!

Too bad a decrease in the cost of construction can't equate into an increase in size or quality at this stage of the game.

I like the uniqueness over more auto infrastructure which would probably be more expensive anyway. Would Cedar Fair entertain a standalone showpiece like this?

I love this idea! Who would fund it? Who is the company doing the ferris wheel in NoKY?

That's decidedly 1990's. Give them some credit. Travis: That's fascinating. My office is now nearby. I should wander over there for nostalgia's sake.

IN other news, I can imitate Tom Anderson and Hank Hill's voice with uncanny accuracy. If the guy who does the voice ever got fired, I could be come rich.

"Neyer wants to buy nearly 99 acres of vacant land from the city of Cincinnati for $8.3 million." "The city of Blue Ash bought about 130 acres of the 228-acre site from the city of Cincinnati in 2007 for $37.5 million." What am I missing in that equation?

^^Memory like an elephant. Combine audiences for the Celeb Softball, HR Derby and ASG to get a better measure. ;) Yes, on Burfict. Game changer. Iloka deserves a mention too. Don't underestimate his skills. That DL is DEEEEP! I agree with you prediction. This team has more potential than any Bengals team...ever. Yes, I said that.

Am I the only one that finds "something something something, discuss" statements rather grating? Like some overbearing father forcing his children to debate a topic over dinner. Anyway, an urban growth boundary isn't a tool to be used in isolation. Simply slapping a growth boundary on a region just leads to sprawl bumping up against it, cries that the metro is "built out," and calls for it to be extended. Meanwhile, all the same crap is being built inside the boundary as anywhere else, and zoning prevents the densification and redevelopment of existing neighborhoods that's necessary to absorb the demand that would normally be pushing sprawl farther out. This has been much the case in Portland, where despite good things happening in the core of the city, most of the low-density single-family districts are quite set in their ways and unwilling to change. You sure can't tell there's a growth boundary from the air either. Lexington's urban services boundary might be a better way to handle things, but again there's still plenty of sprawl crap being built inside that zone. I wasn't aware of Lexington's policy. And to answer your question, it is a bit trite but I don't have a problem with it. Ergo, I'll be learning something new about Lexington.

Yep. It's been there for probably 30+ years.

Not to wander OT, but that is a somewhat new perspective (at least to me.) If it were a wider angle and included more of the west side of CBD, it could be even more impressive. To me, this looks great because this angle does such a good job of concealing surface lots and focusing on the built up core. 8th and Sycamore fall off the left edge of this shot and will make a nice filler in the future. Funny how this perspective also cuts Carew down to size. It almost blends in!

Wow! This is going to be nice and put some residents in a great new spot to liven Third Street.

Sorry TroyEros[/member] I'll ferevntly disagree based on the grounds that nobody is trying to compare the buildings, just the attitude. Besides, it looks like there are a few hand-lain bricks on Terrace. Perhaps you should research some of the original design details and interiors of this building. There's alot of it online. Someone needs to save this building. It's worth keeping.

Has this been posted? http://mic.com/articles/107896/scientists-finally-prove-why-pop-music-all-sounds-the-same

I think it is the buried utilities and the lack of fire escapes that you are probably not used to. I only see a few. But, yeah, there is something missing and I can't put my finger on it either. Otherwise, these are beautiful shots. Bangor has an international airport too!

Which, by the way. Any good documentaries on the grunge era?

"Jefferson Ave." Maybe someday.

Not much about that image that we didn't know. Labeling it "400 Broadway" is ambiguous. Hey W&S, hurry up and build a new tallest! Don't hold your breath.
