According to an article on the WLWT web site, Carter/Dawson, the developer, has asked the city and county officials to envision Disney World style entertainment for the Banks project. Company names mentioned in the article include negotiations with Kroger, ESPNZone and Margaritaville.

The great pile of dirt could be affecting the Reds’ performance. Local legend says that the Reds will win the pennant when they have a space adjacent to the Ballpark worthy of the massive celebration that would bring.

This morning my sister-in-law ran a leg of the Flying Pig Marathon. I was on duty as “Cool Aunt Bri” helping my brother round up his kids so that they could see mommy after the race.
