Bring back dangerously tall and elaborate libraries that wouldn’t look out of place in a Resident Evil game
If a background in mountaineering isn’t a qualification to work at your library, then I want nothing to do with it.
They issue you a harness and arborists’ knots pocket guide on the first day.

100000 percent this!
This place looks like a wizard boss fight location for a big d&d campaign. Sad it’s gone.
Well, the new one is really nice.
That doesn’t mean you get rid of the old one. Not when you can have wizard fights in it.
I was about to go on about how there weren’t many wizards in Cincinnati when I was there, but then I remembered about the Hollows series
It reminds me of Elden ring
this place looks like caleb widogasts personal heaven
we used to be a society
people used to view books
kids used to want to work not play on their phones all day
The children yearned for the mines…

The height of those railings makes me nervous
This is what I imagine fantasy libraries look like.
Make him stay, Murph. Make him stay, Murph. Don’t let me leave, Murph! Don’t, don’t let me leave Murph! NO, NO, NO, NO!
They tear it down to make room for a fast food chili joint?
Don’t call that slop they eat on spaghetti in Cincinnati “chili.” It doesn’t deserve that name.
They put cinnamon in it. Cinnamon.
A little bit of cinamon and chocolate in normal, non-Ohio related, chili is really good.
Yeah, I agree. I’ve had the cincy stuff and it’s not terrible, but it’s fast food on par with most fast food junk. It has precious little in the way of actual meat in it and it leaves one feeling carb’d out and kinda gross afterwards like any other fast food place. Most people have some memories of some homemade chili in their minds and when they try this it certainly doesn’t match with those memories.
Right, Skyline is fast food, and should be held to fast food standards. I hate when people call Cincinnati-style-chili “slop” when their only experience with it is the fast-food version though. Like, first of all, duh Skyline is slop, in the same way that Taco Bell beef is slop, and people (myself included) eat that shit up. Because fast food tastes good, even if it’s slop. There wouldn’t be hundreds of Skyline locations, or thousands of Taco Bell locations, all serving up various versions of slop, if that slop doesn’t taste good. And second of all, if people would take 5 minutes to read up on the history of the dish and understand it a bit more, they’d probably understand all the “weird” ingredients and quirks that make it different than The One True 'Merican Texas Style Chili ™️ (which traditionally uses chocolate/cocoa powder as well, by the way). It’s an Americanized version of sauces/dishes commonly eaten in Greek and Macedonian cuisine, which explains why the spice profile is so different. It was first served over hotdogs with mountains of cheese instead of the more-traditional pasta to cater to the American audience. But Cincinnati-style chili is essentially Greek bolognese, and it’s a beautiful, wonderful dish.
I’m sorry, none of this is directed at you, I’ll get off my soapbox now. I don’t know why I’m so passionate about Cincinnati chili, it just really grinds my gears when people get up on a high horse to look down on some food just because they happen to dislike it.
Hey man, I just love seeing that you’re passionate about something. Apathy and ignorance are the bane of society. When it comes to food, I’d argue most food people don’t like is because there is so much perversion of food that they’ve never had a chance to try the OG version of something. Don’t like salmon? I’d be willing to bet you haven’t had a well prepared high quality cut. The vast majority of restaurants totally fuck this up and people go on eating it.
The tiniest pinch of cinnamon mixed in with your other spices is also great on burgers.
