Springer was mayor over 30 years ago. At the time, nobody outside of Cincinnati knew who he was...’outside’ including the strippers of Newport Kentucky....(chuckle)
Bottom line is I live 60 miles east, two counties away from the city of my birth...and you couldn’t pay me enough to return.
Whats really amusing - if you escaped - is the city is going bankrupt, the county is going bankrupt, and the Cincinnait Bengals are getting millions of dollars from the county for upkeep of the stadium for the Bungles.
Thats right folks, the county (Hamilton) is required to pay for all maintanence issues at the stadium...buy up any unsold tickets for each home game.
Its hard to imagine anything more screwed up for taxpayers, outside of NYC or anywhere in California.
In Seattle they are still paying for a stadium that has already been torn down.
