This so-called "writer" doesn't even understand the English language.

Transport - what major city in the USA has no inter-city passenger train line? Cincinnati, that's who. It's not like it's be hard to build, and it's not like Cincinnati is such a new city that it hasn't got around to it yet. They just don't like public transport here. Heck, they just built a bridge over the river, but do you think they put pedestrian access on it? Hell no. Drive or die seems to be the motto. On the plus side, they do plan to have a train through town by 2004. Pigs hope to fly by the same time.
Chris, you're clearly talking about intra-city trains, not inter-city trains. An inter-city train from Cincy would go to somewhere like Chicago or Detroit or Atlanta.

It's pretty sad when you have an engineer correcting a writer and editor on something like this.

This idiot is just a boatload of fail on many levels.

Not to mention.

“Some really grandiose old brick skyscrapers that eminate the skyline.”

I don’t even know what that means or whether it’s really a word. I doubt it.

I think perhaps he meant “inner-city,” but the bong water and Zima drove him to hit on that nasty, slutty, irresistibly-seductive “t” key, rather than proceeding with the correct spelling.

Although remarkably poorly worded, I think he’s talking about intra-city trains. IOW, you can’t get to Cincy by train.

Only those who’ve never traveled on Amtrak (outside the NE corridor) would consider this a negative. I tried to use AT extensively in FL, but trains were late, for a 225 mile trip, for periods ranging from 1 to 10 hours. Just not practical to use.

BTW, his talk about nowhere to eat is just idiotic. I’ve been to a great many cities in America, and you can always find somewhere neat, although not perhaps pretentious to eat, if you research it a little. I bet there are some great restaurants in Cincy.

I'm still trying to figure out how skyscrapers eminate a skyline.

Right. The Cardinal serves Cincinnati as part of the NYC to Chicago route.
