im definitely getting a burrito after 8 down there. Randy, get off your currito bias and come with me.

Response I got, even though I don't eat Chipotle. :) Helpin' out. "Thank you for writing us, and I am sorry. Some of the restaurants we have in downtown city areas do close earlier, because so many people leave the area after dark and after work ends. Of course our hours are not ever written in stone, and we will continue to consider this, especially if it seems like we’ll get good business by staying open later than 8 pm at this location. We appreciate your own solid vote in this regard, and we thank you again for your time and attention."

Yea, uh huh. Your turn! been there, done that. yea, youre probably right. I guess a natural progression from fun sunglasses pictures is tooooo....shirtless pictures. MTS, you're up! :wink:

Yea, uh huh. Your turn!

i felt compelled to add to the sunglass picture collection. Please ignore my horrible photo taking skills while drunk and attempting to capture myself and my friend.

Looks like Seny is closing in East Walnut Hills. Boooooooooooooooooooooooo Seny closes Posted by PollyCampbell at 12/9/2008 9:08 AM EST on Cincinnati.com Seny, the ambitious, bright-red, Spanish tapas bar and restaurant in East Walnut Hills, has closed. See link for article. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=blog14&plckController=Blog&plckScript=blogScript&plckElementId=blogDest&plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&plckPostId=Blog%3a1921648a-c77d-4218-b8c1-5af7ab309046Post%3ac013b406-9304-45d1-be12-4bd171fc78c7&plckCommentSortOrder=TimeStampAscending&sid=sitelife.cincinnati.com

I spent plenty of time in my mothers closet growing up, both literally and figuratively.

Ok, I thought this was what you were talking about. But then my mind went straight to something with her boobs and pumps and I got confused. But it is rare that I hear someone use 'pumps' anymore. Maybe 'kicks' or 'oh my god...shoes!!!!!' but rarely 'pumps'

Wait, what? ha.

yea, I remember really liking en vogue when I was young. Plus, I was WAY into Mariah growing up. How my parents didnt realize I was gay is a mystery.

I know what you meant and I was just complimenting what you said. But we all know what "mainstream" means ;). I think this song really brought rap/hip-hop rnb/pop ('93 was the first year rnb/soul/pop blurred lines (ie the majority of songs crossed over) music to "main stream" america. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0FCwkd57k I suppose. But the difference I see here is that Mariah was 'squeakey clean' and to do a collabo. with ODB was pure genius and really brought pop and hip hop together in new ways. Salt-n-pepa never had a 'squeaky clean' image and thus it wasnt out of their realm to do these types of songs. I know what you meant and I was just complimenting what you said. But we all know what "mainstream" means ;). bah! SNP didn't have any drama. En vogue was my generations version of the supremes and was squeaky clean as you put it. Both groups were Grammy winners. No drama...sure. But both groups portrayed an 'edge' of the time. Atleast I think so. Mariah's albums until this time were titled: 'Mariah Carey' 'Emotions' 'Music Box' Daydream' You cant get more squeaky clean, ha. Not to mention the 'Butterfly' 'Rainbow' and 'Glitter' soon to follow. ugh! (love her)

sigh, I know, and I knew the Mary J Blige comment would come up. Thats why I simply said, 'this made it mainstream'.....

When I preview this, the video shows up, but when I post it, only the link shows. Any thoughts?

Ok, so I had to do this. Mariah Carey was the biggest selling act of the 90's so I figured I would post some stuff on her. Perhaps her biggest contribution to music was this remix. This made hip-pop mainstream and after this, virtually all pop stars copied it, and still do today to a large degree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFmS9n87ho

I couldnt agree more. There is too much hippy dippy bs. I want some legitimate clothing options. Sure Mustard Seed is nice but we need more! The old funeral home needs to be developed as an extension of Ludlow and the Burnet Woods Cafe/restaurant needs to be put at the corner of Clifton and Ludlow, with cafe type seating opening up to the fountain. The proposed location of the cafe/restaurant in Burnet leaves it isolated.

same

and also, what happens to daniels hall and the student housing? It looks like there are two new structures to the east of the new Shoe. What are these, does anyone know?

I do like the design and I think its pretty zippy looking but at what price? IMO, they need to keep open the space between Main Street and the stadium, maintaining its great atmosphere. Putting up an ugly wall to main street will kill main street. Tell me when it is a good idea to put up a lifeless wall to any 'Main Street'? Bah!

If it is a mile wide, I would be shocked. But I have been shocked before. Regardless, the Ohio is a much larger barrier between DT and Cov/New. than the Seine or Thames, regardless of how much wider it is than those. The barrier could be better handled with stronger connections (hey, we do have the PP Bridge though), etc. but I am not seeing this happen soon.

ha. no. Denver, the Sunshine state.

This shift from interesting ‘cow’ town to generic city can be attributed to an increase in technological advances and communications of the time.

i love that last shot. very classic.

if done properly. we'll see.

oh my. that rendering sure makes me nervous. its too bulky.
