Such companies have two options: follow the law by honoring their contract or don’t accept credit cards. If you take plastic, follow the rules. If you lose money, raise your prices. Simple.

Or as it has been preserved for posterity.

(1.) The only photo available of the officer was a humorously Photoshopped one.
(2.) A disgruntled intern doctored the photo.
(3.) Fox 19’s site was hacked.

I bet that soundbite wasn’t as good as when channel 9 asked the dude at misfits what the tornado was like. We need to get ahold of that somehow.

Also, glad to know that using a fire hydrant in Goshen will cause a water main break.

telmcg, at least we have a better football team than the Ravens and a better baseball team than the Orioles. Reason enough to leave Baltimore. Oh, and DC/Baltimore is one of the most polluted metropolitan areas in the county, even moreso than Cincinnati. Check the numbers.

But, I will try to once again recapture what I tried to say in the previous statement.

I will not try to defend my beloved Queen City, as I think Travis has done a nice job of this already. I will however, point out what made me move out of what you portray as paradise on Earth called Goshen.

Since moving to the city, I have not had to deal with, or have heard of the following this.

-Having the police called on me for walking down the street because I “looked suspicious”
- Seen or heard of a rolling or standing meth lab in my area.
- Had any problems with my or anyone elses septic tank. (sewer systems are pretty nice)
- Almost been ran over by some one with a lift kit on their shitty ‘85 F150 who thinks they own the road.
- Can get to places I like such as the grocery store that isn’t a kroger, the CD store that isn’t a best buy, the bar that isn’t filled with secratarys, the coffee shop that isn’t filled with douchebags on laptops, the thrift store, and several great independant eaterys, with less than a 10 minute walk, not a 15+ minute drive.
- Never been told “I look a little queer”
- Don’t have to deal with some kid in JNCOS telling me how bad ass his BC Rich is at the music store.

Our building might be run down, but the majority of them don’t have wheels under them. I can think of 5 different trailor parks in Goshen off the top of my head, not to mention all the ones sitting on some shitty, cowpath backroad. With more genetic rejects breeding with each other than clifton could ever think of having.

As far as crime goes, since moving away from the CC.

My dad’s truck has been broken into twice in newtonsville
Last night I heard a report of the CVS in Mt. Repose being held up at gunpoint.
Meth Labs busted in Batavia.
People locking their kids in closets until they die.
People being murdered at Pete’s Cafe in the parking lot.

and this is just the shit I’ve heard of.

Sure, we might have some crazy loud black people here in the city. But the craziest black person isn’t nearly as annoying or dangerous as your average crazy white person with a sense of entitlment ( your average CC resident)

The city is in need of repair, white flight hit Cincinnati hard. But working in the city, taking the money you make there, and giving it to the corperations who thrive on the suburbanites, will only make things worse. Because if this continues, your middle class will be gone, and the ghetto will come to you.
