Drivers in the Nasty Nati suck, no doubt! But if you think drivers in Cincy suck, try driving in Miami, Chicago, or in Cleveland!

Cincinnati drivers aren't too bad IMO. Nasty traffic at times, but you don't have to worry about a Cincy driver moving too slow at least . Columbus? Now they have bad drivers. Creeping on highways, flying on backstreets, recklessly not paying attention. It is downright scary driving in Columbus, and I'm being serious. In the city center (Short North, Near East, Clintonville, German Village/Southside) you can drive around and every few cars will be one missing a side mirror or scratched/dented from a sideswipe. I had a mirror knocked off of my car in Columbus. Beware where you park in that town!

We drive just fine. It's the transplanted idiots that don't know how to drive.

That isn't the city, it's the County Engineers. Study and learn the governmental structures of Ohio.

BTW, any road sign that is not on the County Engineer's official map is not legally enforceable. Remember that if you ever get a ticket for running a "STOP" sign coming out of a retail parking lot.

I'm thinking you've never been to Boston. Or any other older city for that matter. Not all cities are laid out on a perfect North-South grid.

We don't design them. They're designed by out-of-state contractors, who also design the strip malls and other retail venues. For example, Forest Fair Mall was designed by Australians.

Spend the $15 to buy tire chains.

The law is irrelevant. What's relevant is case law and case law says if you shovel your sidewalks then you'd best spend your time 24/7 to keep them absolutely immaculate or suffer the consequence in a civil lawsuit (and your home-owner's insurance will probably be canceled). Don't shovel your sidewalks and you risk no civil liability. Your other alternative is to shoot all attorneys.

Anyone who refers to my home, the City of Cincinnati as the "Nasty Nati" really does not have any ground to stand on when it comes to opinions.

I was BORN AND RAISED in Cincinnati. If you've lived here your whole life then you'd know that's what many people call it, and not entirely for the ghetto parts of it. Just a name.....now, take a deep breath....

The city of Cincinnati has its own traffic engineering department.

Study and learn this:

Yeah, and how about Avondale? The dealers are raking in the BIG BUCKS there these days.....That's probably become the #1 pure slum in the Nati.
