Posted June 29, 200915 yr Greetings, all.... I finally landed at JFK at around 7:00 last night, 26 hours after first arriving at Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky Airport for my departure. The flight kept getting delayed because they were waiting for a crew member to arrive on an inbound flight from JFK, and when they finally loaded us onto the plane at 11 PM, we taxied out to the runway only to be informed that the plane had some mechanical issues. We sat there for an hour while some mechanics tinkered around with the hydraulic system, before finally sending us back to the gate and canceling the flight. They put us up in a hotel, and then I was finally able to catch a 4:30 PM flight the next day. And people wonder why I hate flying so much... Think it will do any good to call Delta Air Lines and request some sort of voucher for future travel, as compensation for all the hassle? Or would that simply be a waste of 45 minutes I'd likely spend sitting on hold? Other than that, I had a great trip, and it was nice to be reminded why I love Cincinnati so much. It was also great to meet up with Uncle Rando, Sherman Cahal, Eighth and State, and a couple others. The Provost of Cincinnati even made a surprise appearance. (Mayor Mallory, alas, was a no-show.)

June 29, 200915 yr Beautiful collection...glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. You certainly got around and visited a lot of sites.
June 29, 200915 yr Well done! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
June 29, 200915 yr Thanks for the compliments... Cincinnati is an incredibly photogenic city, so I can't take all the credit. The visit was great, but it will be so much nicer to actually be living there again. [fingers crossed]
June 30, 200915 yr Amazing. I'm an ex-Clevelander and fiercely loyal, but the more I see of Cincinnati, the more I'm thinking I might enjoy it more. The housing stock is much better than anything you find in Cleveland, Over the Rhine being the prime example. I love how the city seems to have more cozy neighborhoods, and the amount of modern architecture is astounding. Well done and thank you!
June 30, 200915 yr Good to see you enjoyed Cinci, and it was a pleasure meeting you that evening! (Along with 8th and State, the Provost and others)

And I'm sure Cincy would welcome you with open arms. The more energetic, civic-minded residents Cincinnati can get, the better the city will become. Let the naysayers move somewhere else and wallow in their misery, while the rest of us continue to work toward building a better city in whatever ways we can.
August 29, 200915 yr I'm no Stanley Kubrick, but I thought I'd share a slideshow I made with my Mount Adams / Eden Park / Krohn Conservatory photos. Enjoy.
