http://www.ourtown.com/ The latest local news stories from around the United States. en-us Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:11:42 EST 15 http://www.ourtown.com/images/newspaper.png http://www.ourtown.com/ One of the most enduring trends in fashion is stripes. Add stripes to most anything, and you'll create interest. Stripes can add color or texture without being too overt about it. They can subtract a few pounds, or give the illusion of curves where there are none. And this season, once again, stripes are big news in fashion. If you think stripes aren't for you, just complement a plain shift or suit with a brightly colored striped scarf. You'll be surprised at the difference a little color around your face makes. Or do a wild striped handbag or belt. Something a little out of your normal comfort zone. It'll make you feel fabulous, and people will notice.

One of our readers, Roger Ach, a Cincinnati businessman and downtown resident has written the following: Let us know what you think. "The latest deception by our city leaders is that a majority of our elected City Council "can't" stop a 30 year parking deal. They have plenty of options. 1. The lease says that all referendum rights have to expire. City Council can put the lease on the ballot as they put 4 year terms on the ballot last year for themselves.

So it was about time I dedicated one full day to downtown Cincy. Climbing up the Carew Tower in the morning...I am really scared of heights, and when I say really, I mean that standing up on a chair is a dreadful experience for me. Yet, there is something about having a top view over a city that fascinates me. It gives you a different perspective on things literally.

Fool me twice shame on me. So tell me, why on earth would Marvin Lewis and the Cincinnati Bengals be willing to expose themselves on HBOs Hard Knocks for the second time in five years? Or maybe, that decision was made by the Emperor himself, President, Owner and General Manager, Mike Brown. Whatever.Many teams including Atlanta, Baltimore, New England and Denver to name a few said a polite no to the cable network. And,perhaps for good reason.
