Thinking Local

Cincinnati is my home town, and I recognize the civic virtue of knowing her better, being more involved.

But the primary media, like the city in general, always comes off as dull and smug, and vaguely complicit with the politicians and their development cronies. And the alternate media waves their arms endlessly about social issues and the native conservatism.

So I'm looking for people in blogosphere in Cincinnati proper, northern Kentucky, and the outlying areas. I'm more interested in how our local issues tie back to national ones, but I'm also getting tired of watching the city make unfortunate choices.

Thanks to Cincinnati Blog for the cordial welcome. I would like to likewise send a link out to Schizophelia Jones, a strong local voice I've been reading. A Blogroll is forthcoming, with national and local selections. Meanwhile send comments here.
