They are pundits and commentators. They are not urban planning experts, historians, nor transit spokespeople. When you hear people from Kenwood, Middletown, or Independence give their opinions on what should (or shouldn't) happen in Over-the-Rhine, be cautious. Some things they say are very smart. I agree with Willie on who is to blame for crime in the city. I agree with Tracy that pools are essential to the quality of life in the city.<br />I haven't heard anyone on that station propose an alternative solution to revitalize OTR - or for someone challenge them to do so. What that solution is, probably a more "horrible" idea.Tom Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16280379920096265819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877644112405173842.post-60917841925135218982009-07-31T08:04:57.121-04:002009-07-31T08:04:57.121-04:00Eddie and Tracy are generally funny and harmless, ...Eddie and Tracy are generally funny and harmless, as most of their routine is designed to entertain, not inform. People should get this. Unfortunately, I think that a majority of the listening public still believe that callers like "Rod from Norwood" and "Richard from Indian Hill" are actual people, so they certainly can't distinguish between Tracy Jones' schtick on the streetcar and actual facts.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16739220593353565171noreply@blogger.com
