In other news (apolitical thread)...

I missed it, odd they left Skyline off.  I noticed a White Castle in Orlando across the street from where we stay, that also is an odd Cincy "tradition".   Down south the similar chain is called "Krystal", neither is very good IMHO.  I took my wife to a Krystal a few years back when traveling, maybe it's better now.  Probably not.

I'd call them the worst of any hamburger chain I know of.

A FB comment relating to (??) a NASA photo of Jupiter:

100% cartoon fakery Jupiter is not a cartoon ball planet Jupiter is a wandering star all our videos. Prove they are lying about Jupiter and what it is and how far it is if you believe this is the real Jupiter, you are dumb down you were programmed you were brainwashed by the Freemasons public school system.



This composite image shows the planet in X-rays from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (purple) and infrared from the Hubble Space Telescope (red, green, and blue).

Jupiter looks like a flat disc in that image, which means the Earth is also flat.

I don't hear as much today about groups like the Freemasons, or the Tripartite Commission, or Club of Rome, or whatever.  I think 'we' focused more on how the other political party is the source of all our ills.  I tend to agree with both sides of that equation.

Well, and billionaires of course.  They bad.

Not OUR billionaires, but theirs are all bad.  Ours are nice folks.

Gold Star wasn't omitted, it is on the far right of the second row down.

doesn't it say "Skyline" left column 2nd from the bottom?

[Cincydawg]

Yes it does, it is kind of blurry, and it's early, my bad.

We spend an inordinate time discussing chili on this board.  Strange, but true.  

[FearlessF]

well, we're not discussing chili this morning - but I agree

I probably told this tale before here, but my first evening in Cincy I had driven up from Chapel Hill through West Virginia in my trusty Nova loaded with some stuff.  I was staying in a room in the apartment complex while they redid my apartment, it was a pretty basic room but OK.  I unloaded the car and figured I'd get something to eat and went to a Gold Star Chili because it was close and I was excited to see so many chili places around town, I like "chili" a lot.

I go in and am confused by the menu but order "chili" and get asked if I want 3 way or 4 way or 5 way, and I look perplexed, waitress looks at me and I finally figure "3 way?".  It was the strangest stuff, spaghetti noddles cooked well past al dente, with some kind of brownish sauce covered with shredded cheese.  I ate because I was poor and hungry but thought "never again".

After ten days or so, my apartment had been refurbished, it looked brand new, it was a nice complex, I think it was $350 a month for 2 bdr townhouse affair.  Lived there 11 months before we bought a condo further out of town.  Two bedroom condo on three levels overlooking a golf course, I think we paid under $80 K.  I was still living like a student but making bank like a real employee.

shoulda guessed 5-way, but you know that now

shoulda guessed 5-way, but you know that now

Shoulda gone to McDonald's.

Thinking back now, I think I asked for just a bowl of chili, a chili one way I guess.  I think later (much) I tried a 3 way.  A bowl of Cincy chili is ... well, not very good.  I don't think I had any again for years until a group at work was having some birthday celebration I needed to attend.  

When I got to liking the stuff OK, I'd order a 4 way onion, no beans.  Blue Ash Chili came out with a six way that included deep fried jalapenos which can be pretty good.  I'd get a five (six) way hold the beans.  Anyway, if you're ever there, you might try it, but I'm fairly confident you will be unimpressed.

There was a "normal" chili place in Chapel Hill on back, it's gone now, they had pretty good normal chili.  I fix something like that myself now, utee calls it "Mexican spaghetti", though I don't serve it over spaghetti noodles, I usually serve it over rice, and top with with shredded cheddar.

False.

I've only tried Skyline, as that was the one that found it's way up to Columbus.
