Ceece said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 4:57 PM
Iamhoosier said...: Nominations are now open for casting the parts.; 5:04 PM
Iamhoosier said...: Off topic.

My word verification for the above post was "potholur".

Anyone notice that the streets need paving?; 5:07 PM
Jeff Gillenwater said...: The Lollipop Guild shouldn't be a problem.

I wouldn't mind being a flying monkey but I'm afraid of who I'd have to work for.; 5:13 PM
JoshuaDenzil said...: My loft is strategically located just blocks from the amphitheater.

May I be the first to volunteer to host any one or more of the many midget orgies to follow the 'Oz' production.; 7:22 PM
TedF said...: New Albany sure is a damn weird little town. And I like it that way.; 8:58 PM
Bayernfan said...: Surely this would be a great "Caption Contest" picture, no?

Just for kicks, I'll go with the fairly obvious "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"; 9:12 PM
Highwayman said...: "Follow the yelow brick road......"

But wait! what's Steve gonna say?; 9:14 PM
John Gonder said...: "And then the monkeys flew in from Portland and Floyd Knobs..."; 10:40 PM
G Coyle said...: Whatever thrill is raised by new Brand-Name Festival tent coming over the bridge is swallowed whole by second impression at the exit ramp. The cut-rate cinder block liquor hole, the trash, the soul-less tree-less wasteland. Then you’ll know you’re in New Albany!; 10:50 PM
The New Albanian said...: What is the desired outcome of the ramp/portal into NA? How do we achieve it?; 11:07 PM
Jeff Gillenwater said...: "No, no. TWO-way. You know, like with one coming this way and one coming the other."; 11:24 PM
Christopher D said...: All I can hear is "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" As Coffey is desperately pulling levers and pressing buttons trying to turn off the lights......; 12:12 AM
Ann said...: What Ted said. Although there are days when I don't like it so well . . .; 8:12 AM
G Coyle said...: "What is the desired outcome of the ramp/portal into NA?"

...to welcome as opposed to discourage visitors?; 8:17 AM
The New Albanian said...: ...to welcome as opposed to discourage visitors?Of course. It's actually improved in recent years. The old gas station is an impediment and I'm guessing will continue to be so as long as the underground gas tanks would have to come out to do anything with the property.

At least the old Nicholson building got rehabbed, if inelegantly. Looks better now than before.

Nothing wrong with the library. We should paint the highrise to make it look less Bulgarian/socialist. The long neglected monument building apparently is up for grabs, or will be.

So, what sort of coordinated action should take place, who supervises, and most important, who pays?; 9:29 AM
Randy said...: "And when we're done, we'll be just like Frankfort Avenue!"; 9:40 AM
B.W. Smith said...: How about a plan to remove the WELCOME rocks? I'm sure we could get some volunteers to assist.; 9:51 AM
Jeff Gillenwater said...: True, but we have to figure out what else to spell first.; 11:00 AM
Iamhoosier said...: "Ain't got nun, don't want nun"; 11:06 AM
Bayernfan said...: IAH, for that long of a sentence, we'll need some more rocks, I propose a bake sale to raise the money for said rocks...; 11:19 AM
The New Albanian said...: "Birdseye is THAT way."

John Mattingly's got plenty of rocks.; 11:21 AM
Iamhoosier said...: Considering many of the citizens of this fair city, I could suggest just 3 letters.

But I won't.; 11:38 AM
Jeff Gillenwater said...: FU...N?

I was going to suggest YOUR CHOICE OF PASTIES, THIS EXIT.; 11:47 AM
Iamhoosier said...: "Brian Wickens lives here--NOT"; 12:52 PM
