Cincy Dad

The new Cincy shots filmed this summer are showing up now on Harrys Law. There is a different Cincy shot shown after every commercial break. They are all quite beautiful.

If swimming is a must, Coney Island has a seriously massive swimming pool with six water slides and a few rides which would be great for kids, but you will need to drive about 15 minutes out of Downtown.

Findlay Market is a seriously cool place to go with kids, also if you are staying Downtown the open air observation deck in the Carew Tower is a cheap thrill. Fountain Square is beautiful and has has lots of eating places and a Greaters Ice Cream which is arguably the best anywhere. :-)

For what it's worth, I think this one's shaping up to be a real beauty, as long as the sign isn't too obnoxious and the stuff on top get's hidden. Some viewing angles are better than others which makes it kind of cool as well. IMHO

Channel 9 just reported we might know by noon today!

This photo set is a classic! Thanks again.

In earlier days I used to help my father and uncle raise tobacco several miles outside of New Richmond. My uncle's field at the time (it has since been sold ) was on a ridge that overlooks the Ohio Valley and Kentucky and I swear that on a clear night you could see the top of the Carew Tower lit up at night. That would be at least 20 miles away! I'm currently building up the nerve to go see if you can see any new construction. When this sucker is completed we all should have a competition to see who gets a shot of the building from farthest away. Hope I'm not too spineless.

^ I will thanks, always looking for new music.

The stop at the Creation Museum is missing.

So watch out everyone as private messages have a big brother attached.. Now, back to lurking.

Diamondback was featured today on Goodmorning America's "Around the Watercooler" segment. They did a great job showing what the ride will look like. They did throw out "tallest, longest, and fastest" in maybe the wrong context, meaning they did not indicate these accolades were just for the park. They did a great job showing the stadium style seating explaining that all of the seats will offer an outstanding view and ride experience. I know Behemouth at a sister park has already been built. Rollercoaster companies, as any business, often will try to duplicate successful products and place them elsewhere. I also know that parks try not to overduplicate successful rides and place them so that they remain a featured and somewhat unique attraction. What this means is, while Cedar Point already has two B&M's, they probably won't get one like this. What exactly were you expecting anyway? Warning: this response will require more than a one word answer. I know that not everyone is completely happy with this ride, but remember sometimes the innovative rides can turn into Lemons like The Bat. Would it have helped if the ride was 10 feet taller and went 6 miles an hour faster or maybe was 300 feet longer? I find it a little interesting that someone's dislike for the GABP somehow sneeked into the discussion. Where did that come from? I'm beginning to see a pattern developing, what with comments regarding the Ascent and other things that maybe someone's fondness for the region maybe waning. I certainly don't want to put words in anyone's mouth. Just my perception. I think that you can keep Columbus and Dayton, Cincy is where a whole lotta stuff is going on... and I've traveled extensively as well. I honestly respect other persons opinions and differing viewpoints. What I don't respect are opinions that are stated so as to infer that they are so far superior that any other viewpoints would be wrong and completely uneducated.

I'd like to ask the current curator of the CAM if he shares the same (J Meck's) sentiments regarding our collections. I for one (a lowely peasant hardly worthy of posting anywhere on this elitist site) remember visiting the Tate Moderne in London several years back and remarking that several of their permanent works had similar counterparts at the CAM. Can I recite them by name and remember the artists? Nope. But I can tell you we have a respectable collection. I have always wondered if maybe the popularity or notoriety of a work of art is also based upon where it is permanently displayed. " If it's in the MOMA it must be a masterpiece unlike that similar piece of shit over at the CAM". Just airing my opinion cause I'm getting a little peaved at the Cincy cintingency that proports to support our City and region but also rips it apart with the same breath. I'm afraid a neutral onlooker might take the bashing a little more serious. I'm certainly not saying that the CAM is the best on the Planet Earth, but it is a local treasure that deservse more respect. MY guess we have more than a few pieces worth looking at. I know I have always really enjoyed it and I took an art history class or two in college. Now.... Off with my head!!!!!!!!!
