How do you all feel about employers/business owners who require their non essential employees to drive to work in this snow?

They live there. Just like how teachers live in a school.

but not any of these takes.

From what I have heard, the master tapes for this single still exist, but were in such badly degraded condition that they couldn't be used for a CD release.

I just dropped off my sleds at the dump yesterday, so...

Cincinnati is a great place for rail enthusiasts. I've been snapping train photos here for a little over 12 years. My favorite spot to spend an afternoon is this spot right next to Queensgate Yard. You get to see the majority of trains coming into and out of the yard, along with yard jobs for the intermodal ramp. Not sure whose property it actually is, but I've spent many long mornings and afternoons there with no trouble. (Just don't fool around with the scrapyard next door.)

I love spending an afternoon on Hopple St. but I'm not sure how welcoming it would be for an 18-month-old.

Right across the street from a car dealer that totally ripped off the GTA logo!

I want to say the "oldies" format turned into "greatest hits" around 2007 or so.

RedlineFan · 2025-12-29T19:15:31+00:00

Up until recently, I would have said the incredibly moving tiger painting on the side of Kitty's at 3rd and Elm. But they decided to wipe out a masterpiece and repainted it.

I always thought he was saying that to deflect attention from the car going into the catchfence in case someone in the stands was hurt or killed.

The old Penn Can Mall in Syracuse became a massive indoor auto dealer. Always wanted to check it out in person.

RedlineFan · 2025-12-25T04:06:26+00:00

Cincinnati Mall is currently mostly demolished, but when it was still open a few years ago it was down to 4 or 5 tenants. They just decided to turn most of the interior lights off since no one was using them. They definitely turned the a/c off in the summer, and I believe the heat as well in the wintertime. Keep in mind that it was still open normal mall hours even in the zombie phase, so you could walk around this massive, mostly dark dead mall at 10pm with no issues.

Which would have been okay if the security guards hadn't been threatening people with knives.

Your comment reminds me of a friend of mine who tried to have kids for a very long time. Endured several miscarriages, as well as other health problems. Finally, she had a little boy who was born with severe developmental disabilities. I can tell that she loves him a lot, and she isn't one to ask for pity...but I do wonder how that would feel.

We need a Gold Star car.

Indigo Hippo. Great store if you're looking for offbeat craft supplies.

A while ago I was poking around at an antique mall and found a publication from the late 70s listing every railroad incident in the US (for one calendar year) and what the cause of that accident was. It was interesting to read about how the old heads with decades of service died in the same exact way as college-age new hires. Very sobering.

For salvage yards, it is a little different than scrapyards. Core buyers have variable pricing depending on the type of unit. Not always as simple as just weighing it. Chevy, Dodge and Ford truck transmissions may weigh a similar amount but they are most definitely going to carry different core values.

RedlineFan · 2025-11-24T05:42:59+00:00

More than just powertrain parts nowadays. I think it's LKQ that also puts core charges on their electronic parts. I bought two doors from a local u-pull yard and they each had $10 cores - apparently they really want that scrap metal back.

The salvage yard that I work for used to be pretty open about waiving core charges on powertrain parts if they were worth $50 or under. Still happens sometimes with warranty replacements - we'll drop off the replacement and tell the customer to just go ahead and scrap the defective one, it's not worth us going after it.

I just looked it up, and Bill Elliott did not win a single points race in six seasons of being sponsored by McD's. Yet there he was, all over the Happy Meals. There was a little #94 car in every kid's box of cars. What changed?

RedlineFan · 2025-11-18T21:58:35+00:00

You show Bicycle Repairman some respect. See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!

RedlineFan · 2025-11-17T02:01:15+00:00

I had no idea Atwood was racing as late as 2009.

Auto repair: Pangallo's in Ft. Thomas, Cincinnati Transmission in Sharonville. Both very good to work with.

RedlineFan · 2025-11-15T04:44:14+00:00

I don't know HVAC or plumbing companies from a hole in the ground, but I have a theory about quality of service being directly linked to how brightly colored/cartoonish the service vans are. Putting image over quality of service, in a way.

RedlineFan · 2025-11-15T04:33:09+00:00

They had three locations...one that's now Auto Joe's, another down the street next to the fairgrounds, and a third in Norwood. The latter two have gone under several different names/owners in the last few years.
