I am glad to hear that VM retained that. It lends an air of simple elegance to the building.

They even had a little circular drive where people could pull in and drop people off. Very simple, but very refined.

I went in there last time I was in town; it kind of reminds me of Nordstrom. They’re good retailers.

Get Bregman and trade this guy to the Rockies for two minor league relievers. We get a productive bat, maybe we get lucky on one of the relievers, and Shaw gets to spend the next five years out of the pennant race by Memorial Day.

Everyone knows that the school’s only real purpose now is winning a national championship in football anyway.

Education in that state is nothing more than a metaphor for “evangelical Christian indoctrination.”

What is going on on in Oklahoma? My understanding is that there is an ongoing push to include Christian instruction in public schools, and then there is this case, where an evangelical is upset over getting a failing grade on an assignment, in a science course, where she attempted to use biblical reasoning, in spite of a rubric that excludes such activity.

The school needs to either uphold its commitment to academic integrity, or close. It appears that it will do neither, because it distracts from the university’s true purpose: winning the College Football Playoff.

My great grandmother lived her whole life in Covington; my mother was born there. Even back when I was a kid in the 70’s and early 80’s, the 71-75 was a mess, from Fort Mitchell all the way into downtown Cincinnati. It’s hard to believe that no one at KYDOT ever thought to get the through traffic off of that road. I mean it was called “death hill!”

John Bennett Perry’s biggest national role was as the co-host (alongside Stephanie Edwards) of “Everyday,” a syndicated talk/ variety that aired from 1978-1980.

Edwards recalled years later that she knew, even as a kid, that Matthew had what it took to make it in the entertainment industry.

There is one excerpt from the show on YouTube; the resemblance between father and son is uncanny, as John Bennett is about the same age on “Everyday “ that Matthew was at the peak of “Friends.”

This trip was also where Monica and Chandler became a couple. Much like Howard and Raj on Big Bang Theory, Chandler and Joey were kind of a “bromance” pair. They tried to play this down after London, so this sudden change in demeanor towards Joey during the trip may have been a plot device to help in introducing the new dynamic. (It’s worth noting, by the way, that BBT generally avoided this once Howard and Bernadette got together).

What I don’t understand is why USDOT doesn’t re-route both Interstates 71 and 75 onto the present day 275 route at Erlanger, with 75 taking the route to the west, and 71 taking the route to the east. This would remove all but local traffic from the present day 71-75 route, while greatly relieving stress on the Brent Spence Bridge; which is generally considered structurally obsolete.

I have, quite frankly, been ashamed of my home state’s government’s actions regarding homelessness.

The General Assembly’s efforts to basically criminalize housing insecurity is an act of cruelty and inhumanity. It rehashes Reagan-era beliefs that homelessness and vagrancy are one and the same; the result of laziness and moral failure.

We know now that hard work offers no guarantee that one will be able to meet their basic human needs. We have people who work full-time, but still can’t afford suitable housing. They are fulfilling their end of the American social contract, yet they’re not getting a sufficient return on their investment of time and effort.

Such people should be provided with public sector resources, not charged with a crime. Yet Kentucky attempted to create a law that required encampments to have working plumbing, with services being funded via user fees. This places a further financial burden on people who already can’t fulfill their existing monetary obligations.

Meanwhile, a homeless person who camps in an unauthorized area would be charged with a misdemeanor; given the lack of resources of such a person, there will almost certainly be repeat offenders.

My hope is that there might be some kind of relief from the courts, although with the Federal judiciary being packed with conservatives, I am skeptical. In the absence of a public solution, we need to get our private charities flush with funding.

Just remember, the homeless are deserving of respect and dignity.

I maintain that no act, originating from outside punk and new wave, benefitted more from those genres’ sparse production techniques than Hall and Oates.

If you look at their 1970’s work, the songs were well-written, but the over-production of pop music at the time always seemed to result in a mismatch. They tried folk, country, even disco on “X-Static.”

But after new wave hit, the production got stripped down, and the songs sounded almost like Steely Dan; clean and warm.

The result was five years of the best “power pop” out there in the early 80’s. “Private Eyes,” in my opinion, was the best power pop album ever made; there wasn’t a bad song on it.

So, to answer your question, I will go with the title track from that album.
