My First Impressions of the MidWest/Cincinnati

[Mr. Harley]

Bumping this up, I'll make a copy of my schedule over the next month and we can match them up. My schedule is odd because right now they are in the process of transferring my job to Lockheed-Martin effective as of October. Contracting out. Loosing 23 years of retirement.

[Japher]

I'll be around, and free, as long as the baby is born... then, who knows.

[Guynemer]

That sucks. Seriously, seriously sucks.

EDIT: not the baby, clearly, but the retirement thing. Although the baby will, literally, suck. Clearly.

EDIT #2: is that clear?

[Japher]

Yes

My brother-in-law works for Lockhee-Martin... I hate that place, it's governmental contractors sesspool

[Imran Siddiqui]

Btw, had any Skyline Chili yet?

[Japher]

Not yet... I had Gold Star for lunch, and it sucked arse. There's a Skyline just down the street, so it won't be long. My wife thinks it's nasty looking, especially the 3-way.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I've only had it at home (ie, buy the chili in cans... put it on spaghetti with grated cheese). I find it tasty.

[jdd2007]

Try Graeters ice cream. Oprah likes it.

[pchang]

In the summertime, the truck in tons of sand and create an artificial "beach" along the river and try to pretend they are in Southern California. I can't remember when they do it every year, but it lasts for about 2 weeks.

[Guynemer]

Graeter's Ice Cream is without question the best thing I've found about Columbus. That place alone will save this god-forsaken patch of land when I execute my bloody coup.

[DanS]

There's a Graeter's in Columbus? Where?

[Guynemer]

Everywhere. Easton, Polaris, Bexley, Dublin, at the intersection of Bethel & Sawmill... you name it.

Never thought I'd say it, but that **** is even better than Stucchi's.

[Japher]

Greaters is on my list.

[Guynemer]

Get something with chocolate chips in it.

They're not so much chocolate chips as they are chocolate battleships.

Highly, highly recommend double chocolate chip.

[DanS]

I was under the misimpression that they only had one or two locations in Cincy. I guess they've branched out.
