**Shib:** I think that is an _excellent_ idea! I’m going away for a long weekend but will start that thread as soon as I get back. ---

I was born and raised here, don’t think I’ll ever leave! \*\* Small world huh? Where exactly (I promise I won’t come by and stalk you, much) We may know each other. For what it’s worth, my maiden name was Waddell. I live in Madison, just past the high school. Third drive on the left past Mosiman. ---

Chillicothe here. It ain’t Cincinnati, but it’s just down the road. ---

Cincinnati born and bred. Live in lovely West Chester now, which means we have all the advantages of living in Cincinnati but with a .5% cheaper sales tax. Bwahaha! ---

Well, I’m not a Cincy Doper (in fact, I once missed Ohio driving to Cincy), but I’m right down I-71 in Louisville, KY. I dig Cincy, though. I mean, from afar. Not that I’d ever _live_ there, you understand. 🙂 ---

Mermaid- I live on the East End off of Lefferson Road! What year did you graduate? I graduated in 1984 from MHS. I think I read that you’re a RN, do you work at Middletown Regional? I’m kind of familiar with the area you live in. I don’t go through West Middletown all that often. ---

I live in Florence, KY. A mere 15 mintues drive from Cincy. Only lived here a little over a year, but I think of it as home now. ---

I’ve been looking for East Chester for some time and not found it. Is there a Chester somewhere? I’m down in Blue Ash. And **Aoty** , Florence is pretty much Baja Cincinnati. But with the lovely water tower. You’d better both make it to **Tevya** ’s Cincydope! ---

**Tevya’s CincyDope** , I like the sound of that. Now there’s a name, she’s committed… hmmm… makes me wonder what “going away for a long weekend” could be a euphemism for… -Rue. ---

CinciDope, huh? I’m in for that, whether I’m in Lou’ville or Columbus. As for “going away for a long weekend,” maybe she’s getting her _Fabulous Electrostatic Breasts_ recharged? ---

I don’t know when, where, what or who is going to be there but count me in. I’d love to spend an afternoon in Clifton. The Fabulous Electrostatic Breasts = One of the best damn band names I’ve ever heard. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by thinksnow \* > \*\*…maybe she’s getting her _Fabulous Electrostatic Breasts_ recharged? \*\* Do you watch _Enterprise_? I do, I can’t help myself. Anyway, when the Enterprise is under attack, they “polarize the hull plating”. All I can think of when they say that is everyone in Engineering rubs their head on the hull to staticize it, like when you rub a balloon to make it stick to the wall. Now if recharging _Fabulous Electrostatic Breasts_ is anything like this… I… uh… volunteer! (Just kiddin’ **Tev** , I respect you too much to rub my head on your bosom just to build up an static charge. Really.) Oh wait… that was a hijack, bad me! Oh yes! **Tevya’s CincyDope** sounds great! Nope! No mention of breasts here! Just camaraderie and good times! -Rue. (who hopes he’s still invited) ---

**CincyDoper Input Request** : A friend in town (he’s Indian but lives in Manila currently) wants to have steak for dinner tonight. He wants something “very American”. Any ideas on where to take him, preferrably non-chain (they have an Outback in Manila) and family friendly (my kids are 4 & 6 years old, respectively). thanks for a quick turn around! ---

Rat farts. Opened this hoping any shindig would coincide with my (secretly dreaded) trip to Columbus in late May. Have fun when you do, though, I’m sure I’m missing something good! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by spiceprincess \* > \*\*Mermaid and Fluffy, I too am a Middletonian! I live near the hospital. \*\* Spiceprincess! Got any dogs? I used to live real close to the hospital on Crawford. Then on Grand. Is your name Vickie? How’s Smokey? I worked at MRH for 16 years until I set out for greener pastures. I work at Miami Valley Hospital now and it is a whole nother world. It looks like we need to have a Middletown Mini Dopefest–just us girls. We could meet at Applebee’s maybe or if you want to wait a while, I hear The Anchor is reopening downtown soon.😃 ---

Mermaid- The Anchor is opening up?! I used to date a guy who was obsessed with that place!When he was a stuggling musician they fed his band for free. How weird is it that 2 of us live in good ole Middletown! spiceprincess, what year did you graduate? Also, what do you think they’ll do with Middletown Regional when they move? I cant imagine theyll leave it empty. They should just leave it alone! ---

I was hoping I could maybe get outta there for a while, and a Dopefest would have been a perfect occasion. There are any number of complications (okay, two: I don’t drive, and I’m not sure at what events at Kenyon I’m required to smile and nod), though, so unless a get-together just happened to coincide with that weekend, I’m outta luck. Thank you very much for the offer, though. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cinci-dopers/105335.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cinci-dopers/105335.md?page=3)
