Mr Sparkle

Anyone know of nice family friendly lakeside cottages in the Traverse City Area? Not in Traverse City but within a short drive, and within a short drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Looking for a cottage on a lake, large or small, hopefully with a beach or swimming pool. I've stayed in some <ahem> rustic cottages before, however I'd like to keep it around $800- $1000 for the week. Proximity to a craft brewery a plus. TIA!

There is no project to extend I-74 thru Cincy and to the hinterlands. Only the projects specified by the Eastern Corridor plan, for better or worse. The I74/73 plan in Ohio has been dead for years.

Hitler Road? (Near Circleville OH) http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cincinnati,+Hamilton,+Ohio&ll=39.585351,-82.917702&spn=0.011973,0.017724&z=16

KJP, I know its a new road and of the associated issues that come with it. But to call it an extension of I-74 when it is clearly not as the linked blog post is is deceptive. IMHO this is being done to drum up fear about the project by incorrectly calling it an Interstate. That is what I am pointing out (whether I am for the road or against the road is irrelevant). FWIW, Ohio backed out of the I-74/73 Extension Plan many moons ago.

There is some info to peruse here: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D08/Pages/PublicInvolvementMeetingSchedule.aspx Look under CLE-32-2.25, 32(PID82370) Eastgate Improvements Project-Eastgate to Olive Branch Stonelick and Clermont County I-275 & SR-32 Interchange See http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D08/Documents/Planning%20docs/Board%208%20-%20Preferred%20Alternative%20Detail.pdf a grade intersection is proposed at Old 74, west of the I-275 I/C and no R/W is being preserved for a future I/C You can also see info on the Cle County TID Site: http://www.tid.clermontcountyohio.gov/CurrentProjects.aspx Hamilton County Project info is not posted

But it takes more than just putting up "I-74" signs. The road has to conform to Interstate Standards, e.g shoulder width median width, ramp merge lengths, etc. This would incur some serious reconstruction to the Norwood Lateral, and existing Red Bank Expressway. The TRAC funded parts of the Eastern Corridor, as far as I know, involve construction of something less than a freeway and more than a surface arterial. There will be some grade intersections along SR 32.

The I-74 extension is not planned nor will it happen

How can AD's afford to pay the student athletes? Very Very few Athletic Departments in D1 make a profit overall. I think it might only be one or two.

I heard R Club and maybe Mr K's are thinking of re-opening with locations at the Banks

Stockholm?

I believe that house was the inspiration for the movie "Up"

You need some Philadelphia soul The song title is appropriate. I never was a Hall & Oates fan. Listened to them on World Cafe yesterday (I think it was a replay of one a long time ago); I always though of them as cheesy 80's easy listening,,,but they were good on the Cafe, they played live. Hall & Oates is one of the more under-appreciated acts out there.

She could have said no, right?

But is that part true?

If the main issue is the $17 Million Operating Subsidy, some ideas on where to find it, based on the Executive budget for FY 10 and FY 11 http://obm.ohio.gov/document.aspx?ID=c07f6e0d-5a41-4775-8410-9549ba4ab45e (In Millions) State Fair/Exposition: $14.7 Ohio Ethics Commission $3.2 (Duplicated by Joint Legislative Ethics Committee?) Duplication: Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities and Department of Mental Health $Unk State Racing Commission: $22

Probably "Every Democrat" should have voted, no? Turnout was lower than 50% across the state and even lower in urban areas http://newstalkradiowhio.com/localnews/2010/11/ohio-voter-turnout-lags-at-487.html http://vote.sos.state.oh.us/pls/enrpublic/f?p=130:11:0 All urban centers were below 50%, and suburban counties trended higher

Let's throw the brakes on proposed 3C train http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20101010/EDIT02/10100336/Let-s-throw-the-brakes-on-proposed-3C-train Hopefully someone will write a rebuttal for this one. While she correctly denotes that cost will be a major factor in taking a train trip, she is comparing the cost per mile of the train (that includes op costs, fuel and depreciation of capital) to only the fuel costs of driving. If we use the current IRS per mile write-off of driving at 0.45c then it competes with the worst case 50c/mile for fare+subsidy. It should be noted the IRS rate does NOT include maintenance to the facility (highway), or does it -- via inclusion of fuel costs + fuel tax in that rate? [Edited per fair use guidelines]

In the aerial shots when the NLDS was in Philly, saw lots of parking next to the park. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Citizens+Bank+Park,+Philadelphia,+PA&sll=39.904469,-75.166225&sspn=0.023539,0.03871&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=Citizens+Bank+Park,&hnear=Philadelphia,+Pennsylvania&ll=39.91,-75.166397&spn=0.180656,0.309677&t=h&z=12&iwloc=A At least at GABP I don't fear getting puked on

Some of those projects have been long in the pipeline (the banks); or have had nothing to do with Mallory (The Casino Vote)
