@sailtheplains @WLWT None of the above. People are agitated at City Council for this waste of time and likely money when there are real problems in the city.

@BarflyBill @WLWT I assume you're being a moron on purpose, bot or troll.

@sailtheplains @WLWT Punching down … at City Council?

@WLWT So many selfish morons in the comments who love punching down. Pathetic. They're probably racists who worship president pedophile

Tough sequence brewing here: The Red Sox ruined their relationship with Rafael Devers in the name of making Alex Bregman their 3B. So they traded Devers for a package centered around Kyle Harrison and James Tibbs. Despite that, they let Alex Bregman walk just 7 months later over a no-trade clause. So they gave that money to Ranger Suarez (8.64 ERA in 2 GS so far) despite having a full rotation. And made Caleb Durbin (.204 OPS so far) the new 3B. And traded Kyle Harrison (2.61 ERA in 2 GS so far) and more to the Brewers to get him. James Tibbs (7 homers in 9 games this year in AAA) was traded last year for half a season of Dustin May (5.40 ERA in 6 games for BOS).

@Larry_Boa Schriffen and Plesac is the best post-Benetti booth combo they’ve put out there so far

Schriffen's contract is up after the season. Let him go and put Connor McKnight in the booth with Stone. It's 1000 times a better broadcast and won't cost Jerry an extra nickel.

@Freedom_Fryz @JoshJunker2 You’re correct that City Council would never allow this because it’d be a giant invitation for teens to gather downtown Friday and Saturday nights, loiter around, and cause chaos and mayhem while repelling other potential customers

@JoshJunker2 LMAO do you really need to be reminded that Cincinnati can't have nice things? A Cineplex like that would be dependent on suburban visitors and they know a crime magnet when they see one.

My hot take of the day is Downtown Cincinnati needs a movie theater cineplex of the grandest scale

WLWT TV this morning reported a shooting right in the heart of downtown at 7th and Walnut around 2:30 this morning. Yet another late-night shooting in the vicinity of a nightclub/lounge.

@LanceMcAlister Reds Rolodex

Turning to you for help. I'm looking for a segment name: I'm trying a new segment on Extra Innings. It's a short segment that brings up a random #Reds player from the past. I put together notes, stats, trivia, moments, etc. The idea is to simply spark a memory, maybe a meeting, and discuss the player. I used Adam Dunn, Tracy Jones and Jay Bruce this week. I started with "Reds Remembered" That's not bad, but kind of makes it sound like the player is no longer with us. I kind of like Reds Retro. Ideas?

🚨 do you understand what New York City just accidentally admitted.. NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.. that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness.. not the end of it.. if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.. instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve.. the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system.. they're worth nothing to it solved..

@U_arctos I mean, it’s pretty close if you were to line up the streetcar and a human at 12th and Main

love when people claim they can walk the route faster than the streetcar, because it's a sure sign they have no clue what they're talking about

@chrismattlin @prostreetcar Schneider doesn’t care about your plight whatsoever as long as his rich people trolley makes its rounds

@prostreetcar The City was, however, quick to install speed humps here that no one asked for, under the cover of night, and done by idiots, obviously, because they made the humps curb-to-curb with nowhere for storm water to go. We are ruled by devious retards.

This guy has lost the plot. The streetcar enables Cincinnatians to have a place where they can live car-light and save money for better housing, health care, or a child's eduction. And gain an hour or more a day living a full life without the highway monoculture. It's great.

@prostreetcar How many Cincinnatians?

@rose_bookie @700wlw @CityOfCincy … Even in a much denser city like Chicago, you might struggle to get a midday L train at better than 10-minute intervals. Asking for a large coverage area with short intervals in non-dense Cincy where the level of demand isn’t there may be asking for too much.

@rose_bookie @700wlw @CityOfCincy The best timing intervals the streetcar gives on its small loop are around 15 minutes. Expanding the coverage area means they’d really have to ramp up the # of cars to keep intervals from being excessively bad. Continued …

After 10 years Washington DC is shutting down the streetcar to save money. Could @CityOfCincy do the same to deal with a growing budget deficit? The Cincinnati Connector costs the city about $6 mil per year to move an average of 2700 people a day from OTR to Downtown.

@JDfromNY206 I stopped watching WWE entirely when they moved PPVs to ESPN, but man, based on these matches the IC Title must really looking like a jobber title right now

WTF? You already announced everyone Monday.

@rose_bookie @700wlw @CityOfCincy Metro routes 78, 46, 17 and 19 all provide service surrounding UC’s campus to OTR and downtown, at a low cost of $2.20. Why spend exponentially more to build a fixed-route service covering the same area that is already well served?

@BarflyBill @700wlw @CityOfCincy UC first and foremost. Union terminal. Covington or Newport in our wildest dreams

@KenWo4LiFe @JeffAgrest There are any number of things about the past week that should rankle them more than a nickname

#WhiteSox TV voice JOHN SCHRIFFEN'S nickname for Munetaka Murakami rankles team officials. chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2…

@prostreetcar @JEOII @700wlw @CityOfCincy What would that look like in an apples-to-apples comparison where just streetcar cost is compared solely to the buses doing a downtown loop? Keep in mind the buses need no upfront costs for tracks, etc.

@BarflyBill @JEOII @700wlw @CityOfCincy The cost per ride on Metro's bus system is, according to Gemini ai, $13.72 per passenger, over twice what the streetcar costs per passenger. One of the reasons is that a major cost of any transit system is the operator. The streetcar spreads that cost over many more passengers.

@U_arctos Like a red carpet!

@BarflyBill @JeffCatalfino so does that mean the sidewalks roll down (out?) in the morning?

"if our sidewalks start rolling up at 5pm" ... what?

@U_arctos @JeffCatalfino It’s an old-time expression meaning all activity dies for the night as soon as workers commute home for the evening. Basically describing how downtown was a generation ago before the Banks existed and before OTR was turned into a more viable residential and entertainment zone

@JeffCatalfino no, i genuinely don't know what the author means by "sidewalks rolling up at 5pm" can you explain?

What could go wrong?
