The 2010 Census -- I just got a letter saying that I will be getting the REAL letter and survey next week. That couldn't be handled with one mailing?

5.8 million is about 13% of the construction costs, that's in line with typical fees, maybe a little higher due to the fact that its a little more complex than the typical bridge

They do broadcast from "Port Union", 94.5 FM. But I loose it n/of Tylersville Rd and south of Cornell Road in Blue Ash. http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=W233BG&service=FX&status=L&hours=U For Triple A, stream WXPN from Philly, they have a CD Quality Stream (96k) www.wxpn.org

There is now expanded streetview coverage in more places in Canada, AK, Norway and Finland Farthest north coverage in AK, Deadhorse. They drove th whole of Dalton Highway http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=70.246866,-148.382635&spn=0,359.91889&z=14&layer=c&cbll=70.24277,-148.392094&panoid=fuzbdakDOHp5ElAwxRMOFQ&cbp=12,337.61,,0,10.62 Northern Most in Canada (Inuvik YK) http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=68.39918,-134.79126&spn=0,349.61792&z=7&layer=c&cbll=68.380862,-133.756418&panoid=iQMIa4SFYFYrlPzYLElA1w&cbp=12,127.52,,0,5 Welcome to Russia http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=67.049233,29.429626&spn=0,357.40448&z=9&layer=c&cbll=66.941474,29.018527&panoid=5t3cEq9QPOm0Kpl-invoGw&cbp=12,84.18,,0,9.57

I'm not in NEO, but I homebrew....I have ordered kits from Austin Home Brew Supply http://www.austinhomebrew.com/ They have Extract, Partial Mash and All Grain Kits..hundreds and hundreds of 'em...as well as clone kits. And all the other stuff Check out http://www.homebrewtalk.com/ If you ever in the "nati check out Listerman's on Dana Ave near Xavier http://www.listermann.com/

Anderson is no more or less hilly than the west side of Cincy...growth is happening now, in Green Twp...generally follows the sanitary sewer installation

It weird to me as well..maybe some assets were mapped into CAGIS by other methods, I don't know. But, it looks like I-71 was built with the RR in mind, so it was built with enough approach embankment already to provide enough clearance for a bridge structure

^Cagis was mapped, not drawn based upon plans. I-74 was built with the bridge as you suspected see ftp://ftp.dot.state.oh.us/pub/Districts/D08/HAM-75-PID82282/Existing_Plans/1969_Ped_Bridge_with_IR74_Mainline/const002.tif (This link will die sometime) The bridge was HAM-74-18.94, and I suppose it was removed sometime after CAGIS was mapped.

Looks like they plan on a visit to Cincy in March: http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2010/01/18/where-should-diners-drive-ins-and-dives-visit-here/

Speaking of Gates Mills, nr. What's the deal with these high rise apartment blocks right on the border? http://maps.google.com/maps?q=gates+mills&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Gates+Mills,+Cuyahoga,+Ohio&gl=us&ei=ssoKS8yGBMj5nAfenLnECw&ved=0CAgQ8gEwAA&ll=41.520242,-81.433153&spn=0.014861,0.020878&t=h&z=16 The look like they have all the charm of communist housing blocks to me whenever I have driven by on I-271 (seriously, they look way out of place)

Amtrak?

^ No, I am a Cincy Alum...I thought I hated it b/c its an OSU song (But I love the tradition of Script Ohio); but I realized now I really think its crappy song...our State can do better that that for the State Rock Song ;-) (Why do they play it @ Bengals games?)

I hate the song "Hang On Sloopy"

Elite teams 'find a way to win'

Oh yeah...whoops to the average voter, how are we to know what the "specifically designated locations" are when we sit at the polling machine? Are those locations legally binding/mandated in any way??

Unfortunately it's not in Toledo's Downtown, not even close. That was my main beef. I didn't vote on it today because while I overall support the premise, the Toledo location sucks. It should be built in the Marina District or as infill in Uptown. Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus have better locations. From what I gather, since this passed, these locations are set by law. The Toledo one must be built on the former LOF waste pits, miles from Downtown and cut off by I-75 from the core city. There's also no potential for spinoff around it, because the only buildings by it are a giant glass factory (thankfully a still functioning one). Doesn't surprise me at all. The Arena District is already thriving; Columbus doesn't need a casino there. Plus, a lot of very influential organizations/ local political and business leaders didn't endorse it. Anti-Casino ads on local tv were very aggressive. There were tons of ads in every DMA, but I agree that Columbus is already thriving there. It doesn't need it. There just isn't the desperation in Columbus to want a casino. The truth is these never really deliver all they promise. With that said, I would have voted for it had the Toledo location been closer to Downtown. That was the weakness of Issue 3, but not enough to get me to vote against it either. Basically, I couldn't decide on this. The ballot language simply stated the Cities the casinos are to be in, I don't recall anything more specific than that (Only that the initial investment must be 250 million) I for one, voted against it, only b/c I thought the issue should have set up casino tax rates and fees commiserate with our neighbors

Actually, I think the first portion of I-75 (Millcreek) expressway from where 74 is now to Paddock Road was built with bond money that was voted on. This was the portion that used most of the subway R/W and M-E canal R/W....and before the interstate act.

To the B-East haters out there, current rankings.... http://www.kiva.net/~jsagarin/sports/cfsend.htm

new cars don't have ashtrays nor lighters.....my 02 Accord has only a "change machine"

something is happening to our utes nowawdays to where common sense is fading away ;-)

Probably depends on your policy. I, personally would want to avoid such a situation anyway.
