closing the gate on 48
I just received this press release from Cincinnatians for Progress.
They now have the release posted on their website.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In an action filed today with the Ohio Elections Commission, Cincinnatians for Progress formally charged COAST with knowingly making false statements to affect the outcome of the Issue 48 election vote.
The case cites twenty instances in the past two months in which COAST made false statements in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 3517.22. Most claim the city has taken funds away from fire services to fund the streetcar project.
The Revised Code specifies those found guilty of violating Section 3517.22 "shall be imprisoned for not more than six months or fined not more than five thousand dollars, or both."
Cincinnatians for Progress is leading the effort to defeat Issue 48, which would prohibit the city from investing in rail transit until 2021.
COAST has conducted a relentless campaign of deliberate misinformation about Issue 48 in the face of definitive evidence that their statements are wrong. Not only are the facts widely available in local media and city records, they have been provided directly to COAST officials by the city.
Our goal in filing this action to to assure that city voters can cast their ballots based on accurate, authoritative information.

steam punk park
Night and day. Soft and hard. Green plants and stark streets. The juxtaposition of the High Line and the Meat Packing District in New York City couldn't be more striking. Rough cobblestone, bricks and graffiti giving way to lush vegetation as you climb the steps and pass the portal into the park. Its amazing how the whole neighborhood seemed, to me at least, frozen between what was before and what is to come after the park has been created. Trendy restaurants and expensive boutiques carved out of old warehouses.
When you leave the park for some lunch, it really strikes you just how amazing the park is floating above the city like some steam punk H.G. Wells creation. One thing is for sure the MPD doesn't lack for outdoor dining, our table was right on the sidewalk, it almost felt like a Parisian Cafe.
Interesting watching limo's and taxis pull up and disgorge women wearing impossibly high and thin heels risking ankles as they tight rope walked to the side walk and surer footing.
Just a first impression as I knock out a few of the hundreds of pictures I took in NYC[where: 45202]best place to learn how to live downtown cincinnati ohio the ethos of Cincinnati

48 will devAstate
Lets see, as I peruse their twitter stream I see hundreds of retweets, they are retweeting everyone who complains about about the smell on trains and buses.
So this is the downfall of America? They can't come up with one compelling argument why not to build the streetcar.
Since the person who runs the Coast twitter account compared the streetcar to 9/11 on 9/11 obviously he isn't the transit expert. So I found a video of who he claims is their transit expert.
Are you really gonna bet Cincinnati's future on these guys?

downtown Landor inspires you
Living Landor.
OK, yes it cheesy, but I like the it. I think everyone should have a personal mission statement.
Not to settle. To ask questions. To walk one more block to see what that is.
Curiosity, or as I like to call it, being nosey.
Curiosity and a very low tolerance for boredom is what drives me.[where: 45202]best place to learn how to live downtown cincinnati ohio the ethos of Cincinnati

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I'll lift my shirt up

~ Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National
For Bethany whose fault it is Bloodbuzz Ohio is stuck in my head.
I couldn't make heads or tails of what the lyrics meant but luckily Bethany gave her opinion and some others she'd found online. Long story short what Bethany said in her blog comments...
"This song is about being underwater financially on his home and being in debt to the creditors to the point he will never be able to repay his loans. The writer is on a blood-buzz because the blood has been sucked out of him. He has given his creditors the shirt off of his back and his head is now an ornament on their car. He never thought about love when he thought about home is a polite way of saying that he's been f__ked in a real estate transaction along with everyone he knows, whose floors are falling out from under them."
Kind of amazing the song pulled me to this picture. The subject has run out of options and money and is living in a junkyard, in a bus with his wife and no electricity or running water.

BB Riverboats
A nice way to kill a few hours and catch of view of the city and river you don't normally get.
If you go, don't get the diner package, they stick everyone in the middle of the boat, not sure how much they saw. We ate before hand then just hit the bar on board.
I'm not going to say a river cruise on BB Riverboats is a must do, but if you have out of town guests its a good time.

Youngstown
Mob town, boom town, bomb town
I thought maybe it had out grown all this but I still hear it, mostly from people not from Youngstown. But its coming around, slowly. I went back last weekend, a cold cloudy blustery day for what used to be a gritty town. I didn't get much time to look around, downtown is still on an upswing it felt like. It looks and feels really small town now after living in Cincinnati for years.
On the way in drove past this little outdoor museum surrounded by No Trespassing signs.
Some of the specialized equipment used in the steel mills, hot ore or slag?

lets keep Cincinnati on the right track
As Jerry McGuire once famously said, “It’s an up-at-dawn, pride swallowing siege…”
A fundraiser/pep rally to kick off the campaign to defeat issue 48 was held last night at Japp’s on Main St, literally on the streetcar route. I heard many encouraging things, one of the more interesting that Duke has done some investigation into the streetcar and is now on board with the idea and has put money towards it, good news.
The politics on this keep getting crazier and crazier.
Wednesday the County Commissioners voted not to do federally-mandated sewer upgrades during streetcar construction actually lowering the cost for the streetcar construction and up to doubling their own costs.
Also on Wednesday Retired Federal Judge Nathaniel Jones, the former General Counsel for the NAACP, and Doctor Milton Hinton, former head of the Cincinnati chapterof the NAACP came out strongly against Issue 48 stating anything that raised a barrier to movement for jobs should be opposed.
"The single most important issue with 48 and with rail transit is the availability of jobs," Said Dr. Milton Hinton.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area opposes the anti-streetcar issue
And the Enquirer is going to recommend voting NO on 48
Issue 48 is a job and economic development killing amendment, vote no on Issue 48.
Please click here and donate to help us defeat this crippling Amendment that would hand-cuff our City and prevent our region from moving forward with critical transportation plans that create jobs and make Cincinnati more economically competitive.

Art off Pike
Love the Cov.
Nice slogan for Covington, and it fit walking to 7th where the show was located. Peaking in store fronts and mentally bookmarking them for a return trip. It didn't even occur to me until I ran into Margy from artswave and she asked "why isn't this show held on a day when the shops are open?"
MY GOD! So simple, what a showcase they could have had, opportunity lost.
Anyways, a beautiful day and a huge turnout.
