ALPEN, GERMANY — As my days in Germany come to a close, what question am I asked the most? Will I be happy to be going home? The quick answer is always an emphatic “Yes,” with the added disclaimer that home is and always will be Cincinnati.  

BREDDENBERG, GERMANY – Being here the week after Sen. Barack Obama became President- Elect Barack Obama came as a somewhat unexpected surprise. The citizens of Germany are as happy as I am.  

Wow. Has this been some kind of ride. As I write this I sit in the back seat of Steve Driehaus' car at the Delhi Township Senior Center. It's Election Day morning.  

Josh Sneed, to borrow a line from a famous dead comedian, doesn't get any respect. Locally, anyway. The comedian from Saint Bernard has two Comedy Central specials under his belt.  

No surprise, but journalism ain't what it used to be, and we're paying the price for it. Maybe you don't care, don't think you should or wonder why it even matters. Thanks to the general apathy of the American public, you're probably right.  

Tearing down the Valley Homes would seem like a good way to kick-start struggling Lincoln Heights. Walking among the mostly boarded-up government stock housing built in the 1940s to house workers at the General Electric plant during World War II, it's clear that this place isn't exactly prime Hamilton County real estate.

Northwestern Hamilton County isn't necessarily known for its fine eating establishments. The exception has to be Les Flick's Homelike Inn. Having had the pleasure of growing up in that part of G  

People always want to extend their sympathies to me when I tell them I got where I was going by riding a Metro bus.  

Winton Place -- ahem, Spring Grove Village -- is not the kind of place you probably think it is.  

WAIF (88.3 FM) is a bit more than a radio station. It's like a dysfunctional family that never really gets the help it needs.

I spent part of the last week geocaching and last night I stayed up too late playing around on my computer trying to figure how to hack my Blackberry, maximize efficiencies with my GMRS radios (lo  

Out along Bridgetown Road in Green Township there are about five houses that have been inadvertently thrust into the firewood business. It wasn't the homeowners' idea, but thanks to crews contr
