Annie's is in the East End

This article lists COLUMBIA TUSCULUM as the dateline location of the incident. Someone at the Enquirer needs to get out a map, Annie's is in the East End. You could argue it is Linwood or California maybe, but it clearly is not Columbia-Tusculum. Are there any editors working there who don't know this?

Cheesy, Yet......

I find the concept of having a sing along to TV Theme song to be very cheesy, but I still worked downtown, I would be there taking part.

Once in a while a cheesy is needed. Bootsy and the Cincy Pops Composer leading it? That makes pushes it into the cheeky camp, and leaves cheesy in its dust.

Where's the List?

My initial reaction to the creation of a "likely killers" list is a good one. I would like to know where the list is. Part of the deal with a validity of such list is for police to have a group to target. The public needs to know who these people are and react. Either it will allow them to know who to avoid or it will hopefully make some people who are interacting with criminals to stop and help catch them when they break the law.

I am slightly conflict on the civil liberties concern, but I've not yet seen this as a problem, as long as the list is based on criteria determined from public information.

PR Payola?

I have to wonder if some PR firm paid the Enquirer money to make sure anytime they can they use "wedding district" in a news story about the area in Reading.
