Agreed. Not just because I'm from Dayton, but because they accomplished what so many have tried, and what so many believed at the time was not possible...heavier than air flight.

Did lostincincy win? :)

Yeah...although it wasn't really a contest.  I think I just lost, though.  :|

Nope - too malty for my tastes. You know what THAT means...

 

Well, I for one am glad we all have different tastes...otherwise they'd have to just make one beer to please everybody.  What would they call that beer?  Light American Lager.  Yummmm.......

 

Anyways, back on topic...

 

One of my favorite things to come out of Ohio (I know this is kind of stupid, but hey) is the AT&T (Daily Planet) building.  I think part of the reason I think it's cool is because I liked the Daily Planet long before I realized it was inspired by that building.

Yeah...although it wasn't really a contest.  I think I just lost, though.  :|

 

Well, don't feel that bad about it.

You gave the clue which started the whole thing, it was worth something.  Plus I'm agreeing with you and Lost's choice.

 

Sorry May... XD

Should have clarified the :/ with a :-P ...I simply meant that I lost out to MayDay.

 

Although in my own mind, I never lose.  Eliot Ness is better.

Or your mom.

Although you might think I'd find a "lighter and fruitier" tasting beer more appealing than Burning River, I'm happy to disappoint you!

 

Burning River is great. I actually get that a lot here in Cincy.

I have to agree with ColDayMan (on Thomas Edison -- not the banning). A lot of things might not have been invented (or as early) had it not been for Thomas Alva -- here's just a few of the 1,000+ inventions for which he received patents...

Cement

Disc Phonograph

Electric Generator

Electric Lamp

Electric Light and Power System

Electric Pen

Loud-Speaking Telephone

Motion Pictures

Ore Milling

Why? Charles Brush may save the planet from suffocating on its own emissions from burning fossil fuels. He just came up with the invention 100 years before anyone applied it for mass use.

Coming from you I'm not sure if that's an insult or complement.  Especially because I have no idea what an Ungaro Spring frock is.  Does it come from Ohio?

I didn't know Carmen was from Ohio! Such a beautiful state....
