but not so fast.  why?  well, interestingly enough, cincinnati bell- the company offering the fiber, supposedly sucks ass.  i'm eager to hear reports from across the 'nati area from people's experiences with CB.  i'm sure we'll here a good mix of reviews and this data may help other residents of the queen city make a more informed purchasing decision.  so speak up 'nati fiber heads, let's use this thread to its potential.

Biggest Octoberfest weekend in Cincinnati. (Although, there are several big weekends.) On Friday, had an Octoberfest party at work. Some wore their personal liederhosen and/or green felt hats with feathers. We ate sausages and potato pancakes and pretzels and drank beer. This morning, I ran a 14K "brewery run" and was handed two Hudepohl tall boys at the finish line along with the finisher's medal. Now, I'm all showered up and ready to head back downtown to eat sausages and schnitzels and pretzels and whatever else and drink beer. It's just what people here do, so I'm going with it.

That sounds awesome. Congrats on partaking in the festivities in full force!


Gonna win 'em all!

chum, that sounds amazing

[kim carnes]

eating sausage by itself is disgusting.  hopefully you're pairing it up with a bun or bread of some sort.

Germany is such a garbage country.

I find myself caring about chum's town

I, too, partook in the Oktoberfest in Cincinatti this past weekend. Broke down my beer experience in what I thought was the proper thread, but the knowledgeable KC enlightened me and now I'm discussing it here.

HUGE festival (3rd largest in the world after Germany-duh, and Toronto). Enjoyed many delicious brews, and some great food as well. Goetta was new to me, and I loved it. Even purchased some to bring home and make soon. Going back next year for sure.

Oh, man. The bike enthusiasts do not like the mayor because he is not bike friendly enough for them. Now this.

He's sticking to his guns even though it's against the law.

[chum1]

It's like he's trolling them. Exactly like it. He's right in their neighborhood. He could be demonstrating to himself how he's right that that area doesn't need more bike lanes or something like that, which is funny, too. I kinda doubt that he just wanted to take a ride.

Question about your town... When are they supposed to finish the construction on 75? That project is a serious pita when traveling to Dayton.

[chum1]

No idea. 71 doesn't take you too far out of the way at all and is a much more pleasant drive - even when there isn't construction on 75.
